This is a long way off, but it’s still great news none the less. Martin Tyler will be returning to ESPN for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
ESPN is keeping broadcaster Martin Tyler for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
"We have a deal with Martin for 2014," Jed Drake, the executive producer of ESPN's World Cup coverage, said in an interview at the network's office overlooking Soccer City.
Tyler is regarded as one of the top soccer announcers in Britain, where he broadcasts the Premier League and Champions League for Sky Sports. He is part of ESPN's all-British play-by-play crew for this year's World Cup matches, joined by Adrian Healey, Derek Rae and Ian Darke.
ESPN has done a tremendous job on this year’s World Cup and it looks like it will continue on that path. Tyler is one of the best known soccer announcers in the world and is also the voice for EA Sports FIFA video game series. There is nothing bad that comes out of securing Martin Tyler and now we will have a long four year wait until the next go around.
