Why US TVs should never air a soccer game….

These screen captures tell it all I guess… When I`m watching a soccer game, I WANT TO SEE WTF IS GOING ON ON THE FIELD! NOT THE GODDAMN STATISTICS!

I understand that american culture on sports is ALL about statistics like how many times a goddamn player got kicked on the balls for this season, but these are for static games like american football, baseball, etc… where the players play for 20 seconds and stop for 2 mins… Soccer is not like this. It is dynamic… Here are some screenshots.

Now look at this image below, first line: we already know that ESPN is airing this game LIVE, so we don`t need to see it that big; if the spectator doesn`t know that this is the 2006 FIFA WORLD CUP Semifinal, (s)he has serious issues… So WE DO NOT NEED THAT GODDAMN FIRST LINE! This line is cutting the players` face everytime there was a closeup…

Second line: ESPN is airing this show, How do I know it? BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN EVERYWHERE! Look at the SouthEast of the screen? What does it say? E S P N! So we don`t need another ESPN on the second line. Ok, we need the flags, teams, scores, and minutes, of course the sponsor too… But I think you can write them with smaller fonts, so that we can actually see the field… (transparency???)

Oh also… Here, the player is about to hit a statistic window…

The statistics box just spat the ball out… (Thanks for reminding me who scored what… IN A HUGE NON TRANSPARENT BOX!)

And last but not least: How everything could have been better… for a comparison…
