1. Not surprising

You might be able to fill a thimble with what the majority of ESPN people know about soccer

2. ESPN commentator Perico or Terico or something like that

this weekend said, "We will be right back with the NIKE World Cup after the commercials." FIFA will not appreciate that. He is the guy who does Monday night NHFL commentary for ESPN.

NHFL = National Hand/Football League.

I happen to be bilingual so watch the Univision broadcasts. The commentators and play-by-play announcers are infinitely more knowledgeable about football, especially the Latin American squads.
