  • tearmeapart, on 10/12/2007, -2/+50Some of the lines from the commentator:

    Oh my goodness...
    A thing of beauty and brillance...
    As electrifying as a blowdryer thrown into a hottub my friend...
    Absolutely breathtaking
    He puts the Haitian(?) through the rattler(?)
    Like BetaMax: they do not make them like him anymore
    What more can you say
    An extraordinary goal by an extraordinary player that will send these people into their dreams tonight thinking of heavenly things
    Absolutely bamboozles his opponent with this goal...
    And blondie (ed: some little kid in the audience that the camera briefly focuses upon) says 'I want to be like him,' but I doubt very much.
    Look at this (ed: replay starts)
    Gets all of his angles right. Sets it up for himself. See: the goalie is just a spectator and just says, "That's not human." And it is not. It is superhuman.
    Bring tears to his eyes...
  • GorillaCowboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+42Like BetaMax, they don't make them like him anymore


    Perhaps the greatest line in sports commentating history.
  • ringo380, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20Somebody get this man his own radio show. I was actually dissapointed when the "normal" sports announcer interrupted him towards the end. You just don't interrupt that kind of genius.
  • LilRabbitFooFoo, on 08/11/2008, -3/+23Great goal, NOT a drunken (or even seemingly so) commentator. Poster is retarded but has great taste in sports. :)
  • PostalBean, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15"He puts the haitian voodoo rattle on this one... when he finishes."
  • ROFLance, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15dugg for using the word "bamboozled"
  • MalikNYC, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10How the ***** did you confuse Arabic with japanese :|, they dont sound like one another at all..
  • MasterFunk, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7WOW! That commentator reminded me so much of the "Wizard People, Dear Readers" over dub for the Harry Potter movie. Specifically the Quidditch Match scene in the movie. Here's a link if you have never see it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh4V7PX9f_M
  • dorianh49, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Didn't he say something about him being "the Brett Favre of Brett Favreness"? Never mind, that was probably John Madden.
  • supernaut, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5what a terribly boring reaction by the crowd to such a great goal.
  • Brodels, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4lol, who's Ronalginio? jokes aside, great goal. Apparently it was a childhood dream of his to score like that, next on his list is one from the half way line.
  • xerus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Haitian Voodoo is serious business.
  • jamesey, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That's Ray Hudson and he's not drunk. His favorite player is Juan Roman Riquelme and last week Villarreal played, but Riquelme has been dropped off the team. During a corner kick the other commentator asked Ray, "would you rather have Riquelme taking this corner kick?" Ray replied, "I'd rather have Riquelme than God taking my corners." It was hilarious. He's full of this every week.
  • raid517, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Man it sounds like that guy was having an orgasm watching that.

    Seriously, he almost sounds like he is weeping with joy...
  • bioskope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4you know the funny thing is, it wasnt even the best goal to come out of Europe that weekend. Just the day after that Francesco Totti the captain of AS Roma scored a volley that even surpassed Van Bastens 88 Euro Goal in Serie A

    http://youtube.com/watch?v=G0GyYaI6DoU

    Now to someone who doesnt watch a lot of soccer that might not seem like a goal thats better than the Ronaldinho one, but watch the different views of that goal and you will see just how improbable an angle that was from where he scored.
    P.S : Just look at the standing ovation the Sampdoria gives him even though it was scored against their team
  • Rikkochet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I'd love to see a tribute of "if they mated" like Conan used to do, except instead of merging a couple of pics, merge the commentary styles of that man and John Madden.
    My life would probably be complete at that point.
  • pigsbladder, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Geordie!!
  • horizontaleight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3the more you watch this, the funnier the little "blondie" kid's face is...
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2arise chicken! chicken arise!
  • inarguable, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2"It puts the Haitian Voodoo rattle on it!"
  • irfaan, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3God.. American football commentators are terrible.
  • carlwalton, on 06/02/2008, -0/+2He's not Scottish at all. He's a Geordie (from the area surrounding Newcastle, UK). His accent isn't that broad though, at least not compared to the Gosforth twang I'm used to.
  • magicmarc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've always noticed commentators talking nonsense. I remember the world cup a year back, they would just say such nonsense when they were excited, or had nothing better to say.
  • wonboodoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I'm guessing they were going for the other team ...
  • avatarpalin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Don't forget "Walk on Soccers water"

    Now that is a quote.. hehe thanks for the chuckle

  • scottvc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1they were probably stunned
  • lukehh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1scotch, not scotch...
  • buryyourhead, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2yeah the U.S. has its priorities wrong with sports that matter, so what, now I can be a part of a small group that loves soccer
  • mgrest, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Guys. The commentator is not Irish. He's not even Scottish. He's English.

    Anyone from the UK will immediately recognise the accent as being from the North East of England. They all sound like that up there.

    The commentator is called Ray Hudson. He used to be a professional footballer at Newcastle United.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Hudson

    We also have another commentator from that part of the world called Sid Waddell; he comes out with even more outrageous stuff than this in his darts commentary.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Waddell

    The thing is, you really need to be from the UK to get any of this...

    "Bristow reasons ... Bristow quickens ... Aaahhhhh, Bristow."
  • mushoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Reminds me of Angus McFarquar.
    The Marc Maron Show archives at the snot green sea.

  • plumeria, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1ROFL! Fantastic commentary! :)
    "Aarhhhh, like beta... MAX... they do NOT.... make 'em like... HIM anymore." How can you compete with an analogy like that? :) Awesome.
  • spd998, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh another wonderful man from my wonderful city of crazy football supporters hell yes. Oh and @mgrest we all don't sound like that thank god.
  • kamesjang, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Scrumtrulescent
  • NeCtUr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1he was clearly onside. take a reffing class, then you can talk about the laws.
  • swbat55, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I liked the hairdryer in the bathtub comment, i guess he was really caught up in the moment.
  • bdit1200, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1...I'm not so sure he wasn't offsides.
  • nyrol2, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Dugg for relation to sony product being bashed at a football match.
  • wonboodoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Not exactly a compliment though is it, considering Betamax was a failure in the end (even if it was technically superior). Don't think Ronaldinho wants to be remembered as "the Betamax of football".
  • keyboardcowboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1man he must be amazing, they compare him to a betamax
  • itsdanwall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0One of my favorite Ronaldinho goals... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlQEbRE-Jy8&mode=related&search=
  • nonchallant0819, on 03/27/2008, -0/+0This is a great story... found this one through http://www.google.com

  • farm3r, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Great goal, but the commentary was not funny. (It is football by the way :-) )
  • nonchallant0819, on 03/27/2008, -0/+0This is a great story... found this one through http://www.google.com

  • Brodels, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1It's Ray Hudson who's from NE England. "as electrifying as a hair drier thrown into a hot tub my friend!"
  • StellarlyAstral, on 10/12/2007, -3/+2He's not drunken, he's Irish.

    (i might be wrong)
  • MikeHUK, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0lol, for a minute there I though Sid Waddell had switched from darts to football

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sid_Waddell
  • Aquashark, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1this puts to shame any american sport bloated with adverts and having no history

    you go cheer for your Bears, Dolphins or Ducks, whatever.. you'll never ever have the worldwide prestige of FC Barcelona.
  • stormlifter, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Woah! That was funny!
  • UglieJosh, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Anyone notice the seemingly orgasmic noises he was making for a second at the end?

    Also, don't assume he's drunk just because he is Scottish (even if it is a fair thing to assume because he is Scottish).
  • valehru, on 10/12/2007, -8/+3Umm was it just me or was the American pronouncing Ronaldinho's name arseways?
