im a bit disappointed seeing as i dont get espn classic or espn deportes so some games im going to miss.

I'm actually looking forward to ESPN's coverage simply because:


NO MORE DAVE O'BRIEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seriously, his coverage in 2006 pissed me off so much I was watching Univision (North America spanish channel) for nearly all the matches.

+1. I watched the whole thing on TVU Player, and ESPN was the only channel I had access to. I'm looking forward to getting to hear some of classic British commentators now that I have cable in this house finally : Martin Tyler, John Helm, Rob Hawthorne, John Motson, and Mr. 'Take a bow' himself, Andy Gray!

What's that Irish/Scottish guy on ESPN? He did all the Champions League commentary and he had some of the best analogies ever.

___________________

The best is the Irish guy(?) from Gol TV who does the Real Madrid and Barca matches. I don't get the channel, but I watch the all goal show on On Demand, and the guy cracks me up. Like after a goal one time, he exclaimed in such an enthusiastic vioce "He's got a walky-talky streight to HEAVEN!!!" Best commentary ever.

Peter Brackley was always my favourite. remember him doing the original channel 4 football italia coverage. always superb.

I'm happy Andy Gray will be doing the ESPN coverage for this tourney

Awesome. Taping Russia's 6/10 game against Spain (though I really wish I could watch it live).
Don't have to work on 6/14, gonna catch that one.
And just took 6/18 off to catch their game against Sweden. Should be a jolly good time, both should be out of it by then. ha ha.

My comments on ESPN's Euro 2008 coverage.

More Andy Gray and less Julie "Queen Obvious" Foudy please

And for the love of God, they really need to stop the non footy related crap in between matches. I can understand the Jim McKay obituary tribute since he passed away, but I really don't give a flying fuck about the Triple Crown.


Having said that...

I really like the announcers in today's matches. Having Andy Gray do the matches is like a breath of fresh air. It's not the best, but I can happily watch the games and not throw my remote in disgust over the commentary.
