I think JoeJoeJoe nailed it with his statement:

Foudy has 271 caps for the US National Team over 17 years and has two Olympic Gold Medals and two World Cup wins — all broadcast to large audiences inside the US. If that’s a token then maybe you have issues with women broadcasters in general, not Julie Foudy.

TWO World Cup Wins…TWO Olympic Gold Medals…271 caps…17 years… I’m sorry but
it begs the question: who in the hell do you
think is more qualified? She, Mia, Brandi and Christine Lily are the best soccer players America has produced. Of course she would be tapped by ESPN as commentator!

Foudy was a good choice for ESPN because she is very likeable and someone with which us American soccer fans are well acquainted. For those reasons i like having her up there. In fact i wouldn’t mind having her replace Tommy Smyth, whose knowledge doesn’t seem to be that thorough and is from Ireland, a country that is as unfamiliar with football as Brits claim we are. However, be that as it may, during the broadcasts Julie didn’t offer us the player’s perspective as well as she is qualified, as that is her niche.

The choice of Andy Gray was fantastic, always ready to add a former player’s insight to the commentary; I found his contribution throughout the tournament informative. Also, i have to give props to him as the great 80’s cult hero of my club Everton

Julie Foudy is amazing! She is so nice (I’ve met her) and I don’t know what you’re talking about! How many olympic gold medals have you won! I think she knows what she’s talking about! Thank God there are people out there smarter than you!

she totally sucks. i don’t know what else to say. why in the hell is she on the panel. she is annoying to listen to, and she is not attractive. no, its not about looks, but she doesnt bring anything to the table. i hope espn gets rid of her. doesnt she seem like the biggest bitch anyway?
