Look, I get it if it’s the women’s World Cup.

But for fricks sake can we get Michael Ballack back instead of some broad that played for England in the early 90s?

The men’s and women’s games are completely different. Let’s have someone speak who’s been there.

I don’t mind the job Kelley Smith as done thus far as a pundit.

But the match commentators have not been good.

It’s not like they aren’t knowledgeable, but it’s like they went out and found two girls on Twitter who knew shite about soccer and threw them in the booth a month ago.

They aren’t polished at all.

Everybody in the studio but the host, Abdo, Fiore, and Lalas are borrowed from BBC and ITV.

I'd pay money for Lalas to walk away from the game completely.

I’m sorry gallo. Smith and Wagner... I’m considering both announcers, though you’re right, only one is in the booth.

You happy little man?

i mean starting a topic about Fox pushing female announcers when there is literally 1 is some pretty SJW stuff.

all the guys they have calling the games are awful anyway so it doesnt really matter if they have her calling a game instead of one of them

The games are different. Let me know when you find a female that can hit a 60 yard ball on the diagonal.

Ok white knight. Your definition of SJW is backwards.

That is literally one of the dumbest posts I've ever seen on this board.

I don't see Ian Darke out here hitting 60 yard diagonals.

The games are different. Let me assure you.

Principles are the same, but the game itself is very very different.

no. SJW is someone really sensative who gets butthurt over the dumbest smallest things.

like you are over Fox having 1 female announcer at the world cup. thats why you made a post about them pushing some kind of agenda for having 1
