I was watching they Olympics on MSNBC and I came back from making lunch and a soccer game between the women of France and Columbia had started. And who do I hear but Steve Cangialosi's voice. I did not believe it but according to Wikipedia he is covering soccer during the Olympics. I think hes doing a pretty good job. Maybe its the slower pace of soccer but he has done a great job building up plays, like Doc has always done.

And for those who miss Doc, he covers at least water polo. As terrible as that sport is, he makes it bearable. <3 Doc

He has been doing a great job doing play by play for the Red Bulls these past few years.

I saw Al Trautwig too in one of the events. Maybe Chico Resch will do beach volleyball

I still don't think his style translates well to soccer...especially since he uses the whole SHAAAHHHHTTTT SCARRRR

I think he builds up the play pretty well but he is so so when a goal is scored.

I fell asleep watching womens water polo which I was only watching becaue of doc. I think al trautwig does knicks games too. Sam rosen does another sport I'm pretty sure

I love the Soccer annoucer that used to do Thrasher games, JP I believe?

He said goal instead of scores when he called hockey... "Kovalchuk steps in takes the shot, goal!" Very different and I loved it.

JP Dellacamera (sp?). He's very good at soccer.

Cangi was much better doing the PBP for the Devils last season. Starting to pronounce the word "score" after a goal rather than the Long Island/Staten Island "Scarr" was a big step up in my opinion.

He already has two iconic moments calling both overtime goals against the Panthers, and he did great in both of them. I personally like the SCARR


...and yes I knew he had a long last name, good soccer announcer.

sam rosen does football for fox on sundays (usually does games for western teams) and i think he used to call boxing at one point. besides the actual game of water polo, i dont like how the color guy keeps talking over doc and not letting him build up the play as he does in hockey

I don't watch a lot of soccer, but when I do I find myself yelling SHOOOOOTT!. What do soccer aficionados yell when someone is breaking in & has a scoring chance? It can't be SHOOT, can it? KICK sounds stupid too. Thx.
And I love the Devil connection, which he'd mention NJ during his calls.

influenced from English commentary of course.

Doc was calling water polo. Hilarious.

I swear he threw a Kicks reference/comparison in while covering gymnastics.

It's shoot.

BTW, I always wondered about the "SCORES!" thing. Is it simply an American thing and they shout that at soccer games too or is it just for hockey? What's wrong with "GOAL!"?

Greg Wyshynski (well, we know him from the forums, too) is also covering the Olympics, some of his tweets are a good laugh.

With f'n Pierre as the sideline reporter... ugh.
