Alexi getting roasted



Lalas yelling his thoughts during the coverage has stood out, and not in a good way.

Sturridge represents the new-era feel of soccer coverage that is more akin to that of CBS Sports. He suffered through Lalas’ analysis of England. While Lalas may have been making fair points about a dreadful England side, the nature of turning everything into a metaphor or callback to something in media is drawn out. American fans do not need to be coddled to make soccer relatable. They want a critical analysis of the sport where possible.



But when it comes to Fox’s coverage of Euro 2024and Copa America, there seems to be a toxicity around Lalas’ mere presence on set that isn’t seen elsewhere in sports television. As if it is actively harming the product and the enjoyment of soccer fans instead of a mere nuisance or just something to complain about on social media.

I like how they articulated it. His analysis is either smug or cringe. Should have been pulled off TV a decade ago.
