2006 World Cup

So i've been enjoying watching the 2006 World Cup which started a week ago friday. I want to say what a treat it is to have every game shown in High Definition without overlap. Well done ESPN and ABC. On the other hand i would like to say that for the games broadcast on ABC, please, PLEASE get rid of Brent Musberger. He is a TERRIBLE soccer announcer. For the games on the weekdays on ESPN2HD there is an Irish announcer that is splendid. Get him on the ABC broadcasts. Musberger comes across as never have even seen a soccer game in his life.

On another note, the best World Cup experience i had was in 1994, when i was working in London. Boy -- it's an experience when i watched Ireland play in dowtown London pub...

Also, Keith Jackson retired a few weeks back -- the voice of College Football. He was the best and will miss his voice on the upcoming college football season.
