La Copa del Mundo!
The World Cup is available here, albeit early in the morning. I’ve eschewed ABC and ESPN’s coverage, though, because their commentators are both patronising and inaccurate. For example, yesterday they claimed that the USA was essentially playing the same formation as Italy, when in fact the USA were playing 4-5-1 and Italy 4-4-2.
Luckily another broadcaster is carrying the matches; the Spanish language Univision. Univision is great. I can’t understand most of what they’re saying, so even if it is as stupid as the US commentators (unlikely) I can’t tell, but best of all, when a goal is scored the commentator screams “Goooool!” for about thirty seconds. Sometimes he mixes it up and throws in a repetitive “Gol! Gol! Gol! Gol!”. Most entertaining.
Eat my goal!! That was liquid football!
Did ABC try to claim that the USA had scored yesterday too?
Well, as England have now played two matches, yet have produced only about ten minutes of what might be called football (though not in the US, where I believe it’s called soccerball…), perhaps the BBC might consider broadcasting with a Spanish commentary to stop us all swallowing our own tongues waiting for a glimpse of why these pituitary retards are paid a sub-Saharan national debt per week to welly a synthetic bladder about a bit. Mind you, that’s only about half what America spends on porn…and by the look of things, Ronaldo’s daily pie-tab.
Not trying to be clever but shouldn’t it be ” LA copa del mundo” as copa is feminine I believe? Any spanish speakers to confirm? -)
Quite correct, Monsieur. I’ll amend the title immediately.
