come on, as an englishman, his english accent doesn't impress me. his punditry is full of horrible cliches and is no where near insightful. I dont understand why English pundits try and give an American style presentation (talk to camera style, lots of statistics, etc.). If you have ever seen good punditry like on the BBC from ex-players, you'd realise that Fox Soccer's coverage is awful. Just because someone is English doesnt give authenticity - like those two other muppets they had last season. Canada has great EPL coverage, presented in part by ex-pro Craig Forrest. Still it's all we have. However, I think Christian Miles does an ok job in fairness.

Good point. I did notice the mispronunciation of Dirk Kuyt's name, but missed his attempt at Mohammed Sissoko.

Yes, I agree that improvement is still needed, but it's a step forward in the right direction by Fox, I believe.

Cheers,

While his accent may be nice, he repeatedly mispronounced the players' names (Kuyt, Sissoko, etc.). It amazes me that somebody that is a professional broadcaster can't even take the time to learn how to properly pronounce names.
