Who knows when will they embrace it. I hope soon, I hope football becomes the reigning sport there, as should with any nation
Kinda off-topic, but, man, that commentator is DULL. Where's the passion? You can't say "Here goes XXX, shoots, and it's a goal! YYY are winning 1-0". Where is the GOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!! that every commentator should say? It makes matches more boring without it
We english hate it when Latin/South Americans shout "GOOOOOOOOOOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL". In our opinion it's annoying and fucking stupid. It's dull and it's monotonous. English and continental commentators show much more enthusiasm (less is more). I sincerely hope that no Canadian or American commentator ever adopts it.
I sincerely can't understand that at all. I mean, I can understand that if someone scores against your team you'd be pissed at someone screaming, but other than that, it's one of the things that make football great. A goal is a beautiful thing, it should be celebrated, no "oh, it's a goal". That's one of the reasons commentary in football games like PES annoy me so much
To give an example, take this goal. How do you prefer it, with this commentary (done by an uruguayan, by the way) or saying "here goes Maradona, passes Butcher, he's now against Shilton, he gets past...and...he scores! 2-0".
That would get old in a game where the score is 5-3.
