There hasn't been much of a chance for American ex-players to coach in intense, high level matches or call matches on TV. There's no legendary American coach to compare them to and there's no great American announcer for the young upstarts to emulate. It's still in the early stages of building the infrastructure for each craft, coaching and announcing.

That's why we still hire so many British announcers for the World Cup...

I get that he's doing his best, but Donovan is not a good color commentator. A shame to pair him with Ian Darke.
