Women's World Cup...why no Ian Darke?

Nothing against JP, but he's about as exciting as a golf announcer. Yawn. We need a Brit!

Darke is under contract with ESPN thru Euro 2016. ESPN and FOX almost made a trade in February of Ian Darke to FOX for Katie Nolan to Grantland, but Bill Simmons pissing off ESPN management ended up killing the deal.

Darke would love to work for FOX, but until his contract expires he will call Euro 2016 and USMNT games on ESPN.

I hear what you're saying, but everything goes better with foreign accents.

There were a few ladies on Sweden with some real "talent." Giggity!
