Martino, Dunseth and Sullivan suck out the air from the pitch with constant small talk and irrelevant commentary...add Harkes (missing) to the mix and it becomes a total farce.

And it isn't only those four, chatting & yackety-yaking for play-by-play narrating; and idiotic, gossip-like babble for "analysis" is an epidemic among those in front of the microphone in American soccer. And in female soccer it is dimensions worse; the moment the game starts, the entire "narration" becomes a sheer conversation between the male supposed to do the narration and the female supposed to deliver the analysis. It is just disgusting! Can there be a paradigm shift here? Can anyone at Soccer America speak against it? Can the gods of the MLS convey the message, lest audience/viewership is lost?

Sorry to disagree, but I think Sullivan is probably the best American announcer we have. While most soccer announcers (and especially American ones) should probably talk less, I think Sullivan usually provides some insightful analysis. He does tend to be always positive (a lot of players are "fantastic") and enthusiastic, but I can think of worse traits.
