I love NBC coverage but Kevin Kilbane on commentary today. Uh.
I'm guessing New York.Not a coincidence I'd say. They've had their differences and it ruins the show.
Btw, where is the US set? East coast or LA?

NYC at the Rockefeller Building?I'm guessing New York.
Intentional or not, I prefer it this way. Mustoe's behavior toward Martino has been downright unprofessional, and I'm glad the latter finally put him in his place.Am I imagining things or have NBC separated Mustoe and Martino on their shows recently ? All studio tandems seem to be other Earle and Mustoe or Earle and Martino.

Close but not quite! The NBCSN headquarters are in Stamford, Connecticut, about an hour's drive north of NYC.NYC at the Rockefeller Building?
Really? This week was Earle and Martino, same as last week I thought.Am I imagining things or have NBC separated Mustoe and Martino on their shows recently ? All studio tandems seem to be other Earle and Mustoe or Earle and Martino.
Was just going to say the same. Have been watching it all afternoon.NBC Sports are fantastic. Just had Gundogan on the studio to move players around on the interactive chart.
Whenever I watch it we get British commentators on NBC. For Swansea v Boro we had Jon Champion and Andy Townsend.Always look for NBC streams when I can't get it on Noggie TV. Love listening to American commentators, they sound so enthusiastic and engaged.
I think they switch randomly assign English ones when there aren't big matches. Otherwise they have their own NBC ones do it.Whenever I watch it we get British commentators on NBC. For Swansea v Boro we had Jon Champion and Andy Townsend.
Ah right. So we will get US commentators for the Arse game now?I think they switch randomly assign English ones when there aren't big matches. Otherwise they have their own NBC ones do it.

I wasn't referring to their nationalities, but rather their employer. The ones now (White, Le Seaux, Dixon) are the American ones. By that I mean commentators who are actually employed by NBC Sports, as opposed to the likes of Champion et al.Nope, we are getting English commentators. I have never witnessed US commentators when using NBC.
They used the designated EPL ones like most international broadcasters I believe. The EPL always has a designated set of commentators at games for this purpose.I think they switch randomly assign English ones when there aren't big matches. Otherwise they have their own NBC ones do it.
Got you.I wasn't referring to their nationalities, but rather their employer. The ones now (White, Le Seaux, Dixon) are the American ones. By that I mean commentators who are actually employed by NBC Sports, as opposed to the likes of Champion et al.
I've always have. They're a good partnership, imo.Got you.
These two are good commentators - enjoying this.
I enjoyed the old school FSW people - Max Bretos and that gang.Total class coverage. Shame Fox Sports couldn't get it down pat when they first pushed the footballing world circa 1999.
Fox's coverage was awful, with the exception of the Canadian crew with St. Louis and McMahon. Their US coverage still can't get past "jobs for the boys" with the likes of Lalas and Wynalda. Every time I watch their European coverage I'm glad that NBC outbid them for the rights. Their streaming options are laughable compared to NBC.Total class coverage. Shame Fox Sports couldn't get it down pat when they first pushed the footballing world circa 1999.
If Bretos wasn't working for ESPN I imagine he would be down in Miami with Ray Hudson drowning us in hyperbole. I actually like him when he isn't going crazy, but his match commentary gets old fast.I enjoyed the old school FSW people - Max Bretos and that gang.
Bretos was a likeable guy but for me his commentary was absolutely brutalI enjoyed the old school FSW people - Max Bretos and that gang.
That Fox Fone-In show was good, even with that Arsenal wanker co-hosting.I enjoyed the old school FSW people - Max Bretos and that gang.
I remember paying $20 for PPV to watch the Arsenal-United match at home in 2005 thinking it was worth every penny (the 4-2 win at Highbury).There was a Fox Sports World and a Fox Sports World Canada. Both were great for footy back in the day. One of the consequences of the recent mass availability of football on US tv is that going to pubs has somewhat become passe, which is a shame. When I lived in LA, I used to wake up at 4am on Saturdays and drive down the road to the Cock-n-Bull in Santa Monica....order a full English and watch United. Occasionally had to pay a $20 cover for Setanta as well. Those were the days.
That's interesting. I like his analyses but nothing about him screams USF president.
I like it. I follow him on twitter and it seems he understands a lot of the problems.
I'm just glad he's off the NBC shows. Prefer the Brits doing the punditry.That's interesting. I like his analyses but nothing about him screams USF president.
Also, Hope Solo threw her name in the ring.
As do I, but Martino was slowly growing on me.I'm just glad he's off the NBC shows. Prefer the Brits doing the punditry.
The question is who is going to wind Mustow up now that Martino is gone.As do I, but Martino was slowly growing on me.
A week or two ago, I seem to recall the two Robbies getting underneath each other's skin. Maybe Mustoe was the one initiating the winding up rather than Martino?The question is who is going to wind Mustow up now that Martino is gone.
So did that clown Wynalda. Hope Kyle wins based on the current pool of candidates.That's interesting. I like his analyses but nothing about him screams USF president.
