OT: FS1 disgraceful broadcast of US Men's Soccer v. Puerto Rico

[upstater]

If you turn on FS1 right now, US Men soccer are playing a game in PR. I get that the camera has a bad angle in what appears to be a baseball stadium. BUT, I think FS1 didn't bother sending any cameramen down there. They must be using a Puerto Rican feed. Can't they send their own for a broadcast on their station? I mean, come on. This is the most embarrassing broadcast I have seen in some time. The ball is frequently off screen for many seconds of time. The cameraman has never heard of the word ZOOM. He also is shaking up and down as though the camera isn't even fixed. Someone in the booth keeps cutting away to closeups of players standing around during the run of play.

I kid you not when I tell you that my the woman who creates gamefilm for my daughter's soccer games is more professional than this.

Really FS1?

LOL at 6 different angles and not one of them captures the goal scorer kicking the ball, and he was in the box when he kicked it!

If you had 6 different cameramen, I don't think they could accomplish this feat if they were deliberately trying to avoid shooting footage of the goal scorer from 6 different angles.

AMAZING.

Most Concacaf away feeds look like this. Ever watch an away game against Barbados? Grenada? Next match against SVG will look like a child's flip book comic.

All of the budget cuts in Puerto rico have left them with only 50% coverage of the field. viva PR!!!!!!
