Prefer a language you don't understand over Dave O'Brien?

I have recently moved to the US from Canada via the UK and am really missing the UK commentators. I agree with most of the comments on O'Brien and Balboa who are pretty dire. Balboa sounds like the guy who comes and sits beside you in the sports bar when you are having a quiet drink and insists on shouting his opinions on the ball game, which you were enjoying just fine without him! He seems to have an anti Beckham bias which is surprising for a former pro. They usually appreciate the degree of difficulty in Beckham's ball control and accuracy on set pieces and the amount of running he does 'off the ball'. I have greatly appreciated John Harkes's more measured comments and his vastly superior knowledge of the game. I hope he and JP Dellacamara get the call for the final. Are you listening ESPN?
