Anyone else think that Maca (can’t spell his name) sounds mush-mouthed on the epl games? Must be his mike because he didn’t speak that way during the world cup…
I think you should get your request as far as commentators go. Ian Darke I believe is now the main soccer commentator in the US for both USMNT and MLS major games.
Very, very true.
I gotta give ESPN a shout out for the excellent work this year on their EPL broadcasts: behind the scenes video (locker rooms, players arriving), Hi DEF (bad a$$), and good commentators.
Now one request: please use this expertise to improve MLS broadcasts! More cameras. better producers, and for goodness sakes better commentators.
Did somebody say Spector is on the move next week-transfer or loan?
well said, thor. that’s true from the pub leagues to the Champions League.
Some of the problems that Lichaj and Spector have had today are due in part to poor play from CB’s. The importance of having top CB’s can not be understated.
In 77th minute and Spector has definately settled.
That’s mostly true, it’s definitely not his preferred position. But calling it a walkabout is unfair, seeing that he rightly took someone else’s guy who was completely open in front of the goal instead of the guy further away from the net from the back.
Will be interesting to see what Grant changes around at half, since he already used the sub and won’t wanna use another so soon.
Fox commentator says Everton attacking the right side because Spector is not suited for playing that position. Saying he was caught ball watching.
Specs saved a potential goal to help cancel out the first lapse. BBC said Spector went on a walkabout on the Everton goal.
was a great game, two teams really playing hard and playing well
Damn, Goal coleman, 1-1. Goal came in on Spector’s post, but he had to pick up the wide open guy in the middle, leaving space behind. Fun game, though.
Spector in part responsible for the Everton goal. Guy completely unmarked …
Spector had his man marked…teammate let up behind him
uh oh, Johnny in for Ilunga. Back to defense for him. Hopefully he can catch up fast against Peinnar
Spector is on!
Again??? They must be benching him because they know he’s gone in a week.
Spector on the bench for the Hammers today.
Fulham’s game was much better watching.
Not a good day for all of the Villa defense, really. He was caught sleeping a few times, but the center backs haven’t exactly been there either. He (and the rest of Villa) played much better in the last 15, but too little too late.
Not a good day for Lichaj, oh well it’s only his 3rd EPL start. He was probably due for a let down after Saturday’s game.
following from NC
Fulham up 2-0 thanks to FK’s by Chris Baird of all people. 23rd min. Also Kenwyne Jones haven’t scored in 12 league matches for Stoke. Good to know.
Dempsey playing behind AJ I believe
