Tommy Smyth is an execrable piece of humanity. After the Turkey – Germany match, he condescendingly dismissed Turkey’s performance as “No one will remember who played the semi-finals, it only matters who won, and Germany won.” He then went into a paean on how Lahm scored a goal which strikers would be well advised to watch. There was no praise for Turkey and their effort.
Kudos to Julie Foudy who smacked him down by saying that there would be many who would remember Turkey and their never say die spirit. Smyth looked like he had swallowed an “auld onion bag.”
Why ESPN continues to tolerate Smyth is beyond me. Keith Olbermann should do a Worst Person segment on this buffoon.
