I remember watching a match during a strike of announcers in Italy, where announcers are supposedly very knowledgeable about soccer.
It was one of my best experiences in soccer ever, beat only by when I started using my radio to listen to a group of comedians commentary.

Not all tv programmes are captioned. Sometimes pushing the CC button won't work :-)
Then something like this becomes incredibly useful.
EDIT: Also, (and I'm not sure if tveeder supports this) but making this a web service means that even hearing people can search for the resulting transcripts as easily as any other text.
For the world cup specifically the espn announcers perform so terribly we likely won't even do that and have music playing instead.
