Cant agree here.
Coming from the UK I hated the ESPN coverage. The pundits (Masefield, McMahon) were so pretentious its unbelievable, they are just posers. McMahon thinks football exsists only in merseyside and liverpool have a right to win everything. While its embarrasing how much Dykes and Masefield sook up to him. Only Jamie Reeves and Shebby were decent and gave proper responses.
The presenters on ESPN - John Dykes is so patronising its beyond believe and his way of presenting would crack the UK public up. The guy loves himself so some strange reason. They never discussed the pre match build up or the post match response nearly aswell as they should.
Thank god we dont see Jamie (whats her surname) present the highlights on a sunday morning. Yes she has a pretty face but cant present a serious football program to save her life.
The football channel is an absolute breath of fresh air. Ok the sound quality isnt as good but the presenters and pundits are top notch. They bring realistic coverage and are on the same page as UK coverage. The pundits are actual good players with a good playing career and they are all so down to earth and give honest opinions (especially John Burridge - he is a star). They are so much better than Paul "Who did he play for" Masefield.
Well done Starhub - Channel 27 has saved the day
