This is an obvious statement for anyone who follows soccer regularly. As a casual fan I found Wynalda's negativity more annoying Saturday night than the insufferable attention to David Beckham. Rumors and Rants had a great rant on the topic this morning:
He spent the entire broadcast ripping the Galaxy for their level of play, how outmatched they were and how awful they were playing. Uh, Eric? They were playing Chelsea, FA Cup champions and one of the best clubs in the world. They have guys like Andriy Shevchenko, Didier Drogba, Michael Essien, Joe and Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and Petr Cech, of course they were outmatched. But Wynalda didn't miss a chance to blast their defense for looking disorganized or their offense for not creating other opportunities. He also took Landon Donovan to task for not having a great season so far for the Galaxy. Well Eric, maybe he's a little tired, since he's been busy tying your goals record for U.S. Men's National Team. The funny part about Wynalda being so negative, was that Tommy Smyth (Mr. "Old onion bag" himself) argued with him or had a positive answer for almost everything he said. They were basically politely arguing the whole time, with Smyth looking better in every exchange.I understand the need to have the guy in the booth who is overly critical, but it's also critical that the MLS provides an enjoyable telecast. It's nearly as important as the LA Galaxy providing sufficient entertainment on the field. Nearly all of Wynalda's comments included a heavy dose of "I could have done that better" and "Remember when I was sweet." We get enough of that with Sunday Night Baseball, thank you very much.
Does Eric Wynalda suck at life this much or is he trying to hard to be negative?
