I meant to say one of the best US PBP guys, probably the best. And my completely disagree was to flyhigh...stupid vicodin.
That's like saying somebody is the best player in the ECHL. Sure that's okay, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not that great.
Europe is just such a completely different culture to soccer that it doesn't sound appealing to Americans for the most part, I think.
JP though was a soccer guy from the start. A big reason why SUM wanted JP to be the lead announcer instead of Dave O'Brien (talk about ignorance).
ESPN this year will have Martin Tyler though, which, can't really complain about that.
Huh? If you think most Americans want biased, over-the-top assessments of American players and of the USNT, then yes, JP Dellacamera is great. If you want a person who actually knows what he's talking about, then you go to Europe. Again, I probably sound like an elitist *********, but I've been watching soccer in 2 different languages for a long time and Dellacamera just blows, that's all there is to it.
Obviously some of the Euro guys are pretty bad (Motson and Tylesley come to mind), but for the most part, they follow the game much better and know what they're talking about, outside of the fawning love for everything British, the Brits are just pretty good at it.
