[QUOTE="Brodizzle, post: 135342"] Watched the FA Community sheild last night on ESPN with American commentators....there is no way interest will be drummed up if these guys are the best you can do, I mean, they didn't even raise thier voices when goals were scored....I thought the Man U one had missed, as well as for some reason the Stadium noise seemed to be on mute, as I know when I listen to UK coverage when a goal is scored the crowd goes mental and throughout the game the signing etc. adds to the whole game... If you get in some young kids who watch a game and feel the emotion and the atmosphere of the game, the core of soccer, they will be inspired to play and practice and practice untill they are the best, not only just playing becuase thier mothers don't want them to get hurt....that is when you will have a chance of even realistically competing on the highest levels. PS. I turned off the game around halfway through the second half because I was sick of the way the game was handled but a mate told me that apparently the commentators were complaining saying that Chelsea were cheating by bringing on a different goalkeeper wearing a Cech shirt, even though Cech simply took his rugby helmet, is this true or is he simply having me on?
