That's Derek Rae doing the play by play today. Less is more is the most appealing way to hear a game called and that is the Euro announcer's style.

Because England is not in the tourney, ESPN was also able to snag commentator, Andy Gray who is also top notch. He is known in the US as the commentator for EA Sports' FIFA game. He's doing the second game.
