Hardy Pyle Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I can't stand watching a game with American commentators. And I'm trying to figure out if I need to pick up BBC, etc. or if ESPN et al will just pick up the british feed. Any one know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually watch it in Spanish or Italian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardy Pyle Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 lighten up folks', lets reword that with I hate North American commentators. I don't have TSN, I have US satellite. But I am considering getting TSN just to avoid having to listen to some MSL hack try to do commentary on a world cup game and make a goal kick sound exciting. And I don't need to American bash, the rest of the world appears to be doing that. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyT Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Watch it in Spanish on Univision. It's the way the World Cup was meant to be heard, even if I can't understand it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so much more of a thrill to hear the final score is uno to nadie than one to nothing. The official car of soccer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardy Pyle Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 Funny, I've don't my share of travelling and when I've said I'm Canadian they were glad because they thought I was American. It's interesting that alot of Americans travel with a Canadian Flag on their back pack or say they are Canadian. Canada's population is 10% of the US and we can still give you guys a decent run in a game. Lets not forget the best player from North America is Owen Hargreaves, a Canadian born and raised player. I still play with some of his team mates in mens league. I didn't play with Owen as he is younger. Plus, it will be 3 and out for the US. As fun as this is, back to the orginal question, do you know if the ABC/ESPN games will be a british feed or American commentary? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like using a low tech invisibility cloak. And if playing soccer could get you a full scholarship to any college in the US, give you fame thoughout your high school and college years, and possibly lead to millions of dollars, there would be plenty of great American players. I like soccer, but almost nobody in the US really cares. And no, don't have a clue about the commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffOrange Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 I don't disagree with you. Frankly, I would prefer to have British accents in all walks of life because they're entertaining as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajzepp Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 Canada is about as relevant to the global stage as I am to Cindy Crawford. It's funny, whenever you hear a Canadian running his mouth, it's always something about the US that is bad....never something about Canada that is good. And I even like Canada!

Toronto shouldn't even be a part of Canada. They don't know how to party, their hockey arena is filled with corporate people and that's why Leaf fans can only get to see their team live when the Leafs are playing the Sabres, Sens or Habs You should visit Montreal, that's the true representation of Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
