World Cup Today Broadcast Staff

I am watching the World Cup Today news broadcast this morning…..

Lots of social media cracking on Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey- you know, I really like these guys. A little dry yes, but they have some good humor and camaraderie together. Plus, we’ve seen them play and know they were there.  

Alexi Lalas- well, yes he thinks he is the Soccer gods gift but at least he’s up front and tells it like it is. I believe he called out Zimmerman vs England calling him weak and shaky…. That just may cause Zimmerman to start playing the best he’s ever played. 

I do have to say that the gieko green dress was absolutely atrocious.

I like the Fox Broadcast. I am also a Lalas fan and I mess a lot with Lalas haters in the chat room. My go to is “did you ever score against AC and Inter Milan?” Lalas is brash, but that is because you have to be to be a player at that level at his position. He and Balboa are still our best central pair of defenders in my opinion, but they did not play a flat style, but instead played a sweeper stopper combination. They alone were responsible for taking us from a no chance in 90, to a respectable competitive defense in 1994.

The broadcasts are fun and not too serious and I like the mix of English and American throughout all the games and I enjoy the ladies input as well.

I say that about the green dress but then Landon Donovan is sporting a big bulky knot blue tie and Clint has on a tight collared preachers shirt…
Hahaha….

Back in qualifying, the focus was always on the tennis shoes by Kate Abdo (?) and Edu, Dempsey, Onweyu and Davies. Kate is a fox. Sorry, but she is. The guys seem to be smitten with her too which makes it light and funny.

Yes.
I believe the ladies are doing a great job.
There was one that was commentating Japan or Brazil that was very knowledgeable and did a great job.

Yeah….Kate always does a good job!
