http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2012/06/espns-studio-team-for-uefa-euro-2012/ ESPN today announced its studio teams for the English and Spanish presentations of the UEFA European Football Championship 2012 (June 8 to July 1) in Poland and Ukraine. Outside the Lines host Bob Ley, ESPN UK football presenter/reporter Rebecca Lowe, and SportsCenter anchor Max Bretos will combine to host English-language studio programming for the event. Veteran Spanish-language television journalist José Ramón Fernández will be primary host for ESPN Deportes studio programs for the UEFA EURO 2012. The studio hosts will work with a team of former players who excelled in professional soccer: former German National Team captain Michael Ballack, 1978 FIFA World Cup champion and Golden Boot winner Mario Kempes, former U.S. National Team defender Alexi Lalas, former U.S. National Team and Premier League goalkeeper Kasey Keller, former Mexican National Team player Jose Antonio “Tato” Noriega, and more. Ballack, Keller, Kempes and Noriega will headline a team of studio analysts that also includes Andrés Agulla, José Hernández, Richard Méndez, Fernando Palomo, Tommy Smyth and Taylor Twellman.
To espns credit they really stepped up their soccer coverage. Their coverage of euro 2008 and the last wold cup was excellent. Sucks that Fox will be covering the world cup after 2014.
Hmm, Martinez was rumored to be one of the studio analysts like 2010, wonder what happened. Also the Commentary positions are gonna be Darke, Rae, and Healy. Not sure who they'll be broadcasting with.
Been looking forward to the Euros, but can't turn down a day of drinking and tailgating like its football season again.
words cannot state how big a ballack fan i was from 02-08 and how viciously i turned my back on him in '10
Nah big fan of her for some reason. She is no Olivia Godfrey but she will do. At least they are not trying to force Monica Gonzalez down our throats.
Can't wait for Curt Menefee doing studio and Terry Bradshaw somehow getting involved. Frank Caliendo is going to kill it doing Jurgen Klinsman impressions.
