Rob Stone's addition to the Fox Soccer studio team a year ago has livened up what was previously a very proper and Continental panel of experts; when he's alongside Eric Wynalda the cable net that is the United States' soccer home can now feature entire conversations in "American."

Update (7:32 p.m.): Host Rob Stone has apologized on Twitter for the remarks he called "insensitive":
