The Professor of Prose, and a wizard with words, the best commentator you've never heard of: The Precious- RAY HUDSON

NOTE: This article first appeared back in early February, but with a much bigger audience it was time to reintroduce the best commentator in the World.

Let me first say for all you soccer fans out there, get the sports package on Comcast for the extra $7 a month or whatever it costs on your cable plan. Fox Sports World and the lesser known but equally amazing Gol TV will enhance your knowledge and love of the game after the World Cup is over. Big games from the leagues in England, Spain, Germany, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, and other leagues each and every week.

But the absolute best part and No. 1 reason you should buy this package is for Gol TV announcer Ray Hudson - in my opinion by far and away the best commentator I've ever listened to and probably you've never heard of.

Often paired with former Revolution play-by-play man Phil Schoen, Hudson is more than just a color analyst at work. He provides more than just the insights of both a former professional player and coach, of which he is both. He is an absolute magic man with words instilling passion and high comedy through his own reaction to the events being played out.

He reinvents the soccer dictionary from the accustomed boring way you grew up listening to and viewing soccer games in the way that Shakespeare transformed people reading English literature.

The man is a master at work more emotionally invested in one Barcelona game than your parents were in seeing through your college education. He would probably rather marry Argentine superstar Lionel Messi's ability than swimsuit cover model Brooklyn Decker.

But I can't do enough justice to the man. You will have to listen to a few of his great calls on your own. And believe me each one is a treasure chest of gold that must be listened to.
