I watch as much of the World cup soccer matches as I could. I love soccer, but I admit what I enjoy even more is the commentary. Announcers from other countries, particular England, just say things differently. Here are a few of my favorite quotes with some of my responses:
Announcer Quote My response
He’s in there to run around like a chicken with his head cut off and cause some problems.
The Great Wall of Ochoa.
Saw a player was running to the locker room and must be going to the bathroom, “when you gotta go you gotta go and what did he eat last night?!
Four shots, none on goal for the Ecuador player.
“His shooting boots are not firmly on, are they?”
“It is so hot, everyone here is sweating, including your commentators. Hope that doesn’t put any off their tea.”
“Chile has got a sniff of something here, don’t they?”
It’s a job and someone has to do it.
Built by the Mayans , but 6 foot high, did not effectively keep Cortez out.
Not from around here, are ya?
Is that like our pants being half down?
Not a heavy tea totter here.
Yeah, the commentators.
Hope that you are enjoying this spectacular, every 4 year event while you have a Happy Friday. Remember to subscribe on the Perspectives page.
