ESPN has no business covering the WC and never have. Tournament after tournament they show no regard for the sport, no national anthems, no buildup and their on screen graphics are a farce. The top is taken up by the score, time and sponsor while the bottom is filled by the stupid sport ticker. You can't concentrate on the game with this visual buggery and then they'll splash some huge graphic on regarding upcoming coverage or something obscuring the game. It's always been the same and worsens every time. I watch the coverage on Univision instead just to watch a clearer picture and not be assualted by dull stats repeated over and over. I suppose American are used to it but as a New Zealander over here I just cringe and remember the days of Martin Tyler and can only laugh at Tommy Shyte.
