I'm definitely a soccer noob, so my knowledge is limited. But ever since I heard him call the 2002 World Cup, Tommy Smyth has done the best announcing I've heard from anyone in any sport.

Smyth reminds me of a drunk in a dive bar. When he finds half an idea he repeats it over and over, louder and louder, until he's shouting. There may be nothing more unpleasant to me that doesn't involve physical injury. And then when he starts on his routine about the imminent sexual consequences of great success ("ORGASMIC! The beds are going to be rocking in ___ tonight!!") --I find it physically revolting.
