So I am going to write about today's games in the morning, but I wanted to comment a little bit about the nightly WC studio telecast. The show has a great set, and a decent format, but it is so amateurish it is amazing, but what is kind of surprising, I really like it. The announcers all have good insight and great information, they are just not polished. Mike Tirico is the only professional broadcaster, and he tries to keep it moving. He might feel frustrated, but it does not show. He seems to enjoy the different personalities. They have players from around the globe who add some perspective. They do some human interest, but not to much. I even enjoy Alexi Lalas on this show. He is loud and opinionated, but he is the worst soccer player they have on the set, so the other guys keep him in line. I guess it is refreshing to see an under produced, yet information filled show with what appear to be real guys + Julie Foudy.
