I think the play-by-play announcers are almost always first-rate. But the announcers providing "color" are (to me) maddening. Most only obfuscate the game and make it so overly-technical & confusing that it takes me out of the moment. The king of these blabber mouths (again, for me) is Taylor Twellman. Him I have to mute.

The British seem to have to have a better feel for all this in their announcing.

And yes, in the game in question, both crowd & announcers roared when the home team scored. Then were mum for the away team. It ended in a 2-2 tie.
