Now Gol has better programs and at least use Americans (and Hudson) but the use of of native spanish speakers (and the annoying brazilian guy) is inappropriate and in bad taste. In fact their general taste is extremely lacking and very unprofessional.

Watching the latest addition of CIAO, I was really annoyed by the speakers customary lack of flow in speech with all the “um’s” and hesitations. What made this week worse was the voice in the background that we could all hear. And it sounded like the speaker was using him as a guide!

I’d expect better from a video production class in school!

Yes, American Soccer is the best show they have because it’s more natural but the rest simply sucks. They don’t seem to be very harsh critics of themselves because I’d be embarrassed to put such amateur sounding programming on the air.

I don’t think ESPN could produce such low grade programming if they tried! It’s a shame Soccernet is not turned into a full service digital channel they I can get like the utterly useless “ESPNU” about college sports.

Moreover, their game-time delivery robs the viewer of any atmosphere. The sound quality at recent matches from Italy’s Milan derby, Inter-Roma from the San Siro and El Clasico from Spain were so muted as all their games are. A game from the JJB sounds louder than 80,000 people at the San Siro or the Bernabeu.

I’s have had a laundry list of complaints a mile long had I had the chgance to go with you!
