I think he's kind of annoying at times, but let's at least listen before we panic.

That being said. My confidence in Fox and its coverage of the World Cup continues to dwindle.

Right, but how about going into it with an open mind instead of writing him off before you even hear him call a game?

It's just another one of those anti-American-soccer attitudes that bothers me. That [player/team/league/commentator/etc] sucks because he/it's not English/European.
