It's going to be Telecinco for me here in Eh-Spain.
Bad things about this.
1. Telecinco had three, yes three comentators all blathering away at the same time. They don't stop talking ever, not even for half a second.
2. Telecinco turns the crowd noise right down, killing the atmosphere. Commentary is even more prominent as a result.
3. Telecinco is Spain's worst commentary. Despite all the "¡Gol gol gol gol gooooool!" stuff, there's actually a fair bit of decent commentary here.
Good things about this.
1. Even on Telecinco, tactical analysis is better than Britain. No Gary Neville-esque overexplanation, and no boring, clueless moaning about positioning and endless waffle about "Cutting in" etc from other co-commentators. Spanish commentators are capable of giving you a good overview of what's going on tactically in just a few seconds, instead of constant moaning about a mistake that just happened. They are smart and succinct at the way they do it.
2. No Andy Townsend. Why don't I get paid thousands of pounds for talking about something I was rubbish at when I did it? I'm shit at loads of things and always have been. When do I get my cash? Also, he's so bad that all the other awful commentators, from Peter "filthy tasting cake" Brackley to Clive "THAT night" Tyldesley now seem alright in comparison. They're not. They terrible. Commentary is lost in Britain now. It's not about analysis, it's not about being dramatic, it's about being an enjoyable complement to the match. Motson hasn't got a clue about tactics but he adds to the experience. Barry Davies never mentioned 4-3-2-1 in his life, yet always managed to make you feel the drama and tension of the game, without bawling and hyperbole. These people that do it now are SHIT and we should give them all long custodial sentences.
