Regardless of the playing background of the commentators, they do an invaluable job of providing insight and statistics to the game of soccer and few leagues worldwide enjoy the level of data analysis and facts that the English Premier League can offer its viewers. Such is the appeal of the media sphere within world soccer, that many former players are opting to pursue careers in the world of soccer commentary/punditry once they hang up their boots – rather than transitioning into the managing and coaching industry. Whilst not every fan enjoys having the action described and coloured for them as it unfolds, the role commentators play in the growth and popularity of soccer globally cannot be underestimated and the best commentators in the game are household names, all over the world. Originally the English First Division, the advent of media and television money from Sky Sports in England, transitioned the top-flight into the Premier League that we all know and love today.Įxcitement and unpredictability are perhaps the two USP’s of the English Premier League and for fans watching from the comfort of their own homes, having commentators on hand to make the action the most immersive experience possible, is vitally important.Įven prior to the introduction of live soccer on television, commentators have provided a huge role in bringing soccer to the fans, with radio soccer commentary having enjoyed its place within sporting society for well over a century. The international appeal of the league is inevitably part of its charm, with the Premier League seeing sell-out crowds in every stadium and the world’s best players doing battle on a weekly basis.
