Nah, they have ESP-N. N stands for Not accurate. Actually ESPN Footy coverage from their "global office" is very good. I was picking up some feed in Malaysia when I was there recently, with commentators I had never seen before and the coverage of the EPL was very well done...I was surprised.

Funny, the article accompanying the stats actually says it was a sellout crowd of 20,658.
