I think we need to complain to FSC about their distasteful commentators. One of our players was injured in what looks to be serious and there was no update whatsoever about it. Johnson has a little problem and they all over that. All so they need not have a commentary team which constantly berates the official when it goes against the US, but when the same calls are made to the opponents it is the right one. NO replays on attempts at goals or good saves on anything positive that the other team did.
I am really upset that we did not get any updates on Noriega. I am fuming right now.
Off-base and incorrect.
Paul Caligiuri, more than any other commentator in football gives the TnT squad it's just due...Dave Nelson also did a very fair job, other than in their questioning of the offsides calls...which went both ways. On the rebound off Spann's 90-minute shot on Keller, they opined that the linesman had erred in calling the follow up play offsides. It's one thing to criticize the bias filming of the game, another to call the commentators distasteful. The Producers have more say, and certainly the Director, in getting sideline reports...to suggest that the commentators are at fault is simply ridiculous. Who knows what information is available on Noriega? My guess is that they took him to the hospital as a precaution owning to the injury being to the head. Anyone who watches American football could right away tell that it was a concussion...they provided the info that they had.
As for the no replays on attempts at goals...maybe because there weren't that many TnT shots on goal? They showed both of Spann's attempts and they praised the ref for handing out warnings to twoTnT players who were guilty of clumsy challenges. In both instances the players should have been booked (and dismissed, since it was a second yellow for each player). Instead they lauded the ref for being fair.
FSC is marketing the game to an American audience...I wouldn't waste no energy getting worked up because they're not showing enough from the other team's perspective.
