	SoccerBlog.com: ESPN's Dave O'Brien and Marcelo Balboa: The horror continues
		Marcelo Balboa still talks as if everybody is hard of hearing.
		IMO, Marcelo should simply be red-carded, throw out of the game, and should never be allowed to sit on the commentator chair again.
		He picked on Beckenbauer today for criticizing the players for diving too much, and as a casual every-four-year soccer fan, I gotta say that it seems to be a large part of the sport, at least for some teams, at least during the world cup.

	SportingNews.com - Announcer ignores Beckham's effort, commitment
		During the England-Ecuador match, Balboa was especially ridiculous on the subject of Beckham, even going so far as to suggest he did not deserve a place on the field.
		As Balboa was deriding Beckham subsequent to the goal, Beckham was struggling with dehydration, vomiting twice on the field but gutting his way into the 87th minute so his skill would not be lost if Ecuador were able to tie the match.
		Balboa ignored that extraordinary level of effort and commitment, as well as two beautiful defensive plays Beckham made deep in England's half of the field to thwart Ecuador threats.

		Marcelo Balboa was constantly having to interrupt to correct O'Brien's laughably wrong assessments of matters on the pitch.
		Balboa at the start of PKs said the Argentina keeper had the advantage because he wasn't as tired (what?!?!), but after PKs he announced that going into the shootout, Germany had the advantage because they had Lehmann.
		Balboa (the so-called analyst) has a severe case of verbal diarrhea, obviously being paid by the syllable (as most of his words are single syllables).
