Most American commentators suck but Arlo White at #1 is right. That guy is good

Dellcamara is prob the best of the bunch. Twellman has started very well -- great insights. Dunseth is insightful too.
I don't like Arlo White. Normally I like the English accent but I find his harsh, and he just sounds like a guy with a massive ego.

Glenn Davis I don't like either. He's awful when he calls a game by himself. It's like he's trying to put drama into his voice.

Who's the guy whose goal call is "IT'S IN THE NET!!!! IT"s IN THE NET!!!" He's the worst!

The play-by-play guy for the New England local coverage is also really bad.

All I gotta say is John Motson. He was a beauty.

I really don't know who's who.
I do know that a lot of them are bad.
Occasionally I hear a good announcer in MLS, but I don't who that would be.
Some vid clips would be helpful.

Arlo White is overrated.

He's the ultimate Sounders homer and comes across as douchy. You should hear him when there's a foul against Seattle. It's like the worst decisions in the world all go against them.

Whos the guy that does "Oh My Goal!"? I think if he's a espn or telemundo announcer he is pretty good. I dont know if he's an MLS announcer but he did the Copa CentroAmericana on TLN and he also does some Serie A games.

We can quibble over who is better than whom, but MLS commentary has improved over the last five years - we all can be thankful for that.

Having said that, there are some woeful local broadcasts still around. I get Direct Kick in US which shows the local broadcasts for the games that aren't broadcast nationally, and I know many people get Match Day Live which does the same thing. Some of these cats should find a new line of work. Colorado's broadcast is intolerable.

They do realize there are canadian teams don't they? luke wileman may not be the best but certainly in the top ten.

I know Dunleavy's a jack-of-all-trades announcer, but he's done a really good job. He's actually watching what's going on and he calls out poor performance.

Gotta agree, he's bloody awful. Even though he does ESPN games, Glenn Davis is the same with Houston.

Will Nigel ever call MLS games again or is he beholden to the CBC given its control of FIFA world cups for the foreseeable future?

i dont know comentators names...so i couldnt tell you which ones i like and dont like. However most American announcers, MLS, MLB, NFL, NHL and NBA are horrible. To much facts that i really couldnt give a shit about, they just blabber on about facts rather then having a personality with humour and opinions.
