Well fuck. 

[WBT 20561]

Bruno with 2 assists in 2 minutes.

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

You can’t turn the ball over in midfield like they’re doing. 

[kingkoopa6 8344]

Lmao. Bro.  He’s smiling before the ball is even going in. That’s awesome !! 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

Felix is a shithead. 

[Fastbreak 3979]

I have watched almost every game and I’ve felt the female announcers have been consistently better than their male counterparts.

I haven't had a problem with any of the announcing. Probably because Twellman isn't involved. 

[Firemans4Horn 18034]

LETS GO

[Captain Ron 12864]

Ghana not done. 

[InkaUtexas 25857]

YES! 

[Surly Bevo 24908]

Can I bitch about the penalty again?

[kingkoopa6 8344]

Oh shir  game on again 

[Captain Ron 12864]

The games getting nasty. I like it. 

[Dutch 4465]

Finish gonna be interesting, now.  
 

And lulz with Ronaldo’s celebration 

[kingkoopa6 8344]

12 mins stoppage 

[Hermanator 7032]

Damn this game went nuts.

[Wulaw Horn 19064]

This game is drunk. This is what I wanted to see more of and said I had hoped for the last 2 games.

Had to help dad with something and come back to five goals scored

[kingkoopa6 8344]

Lmao. Wtf 

[Captain Ron 12864]

Keeper interference there?

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Should have been a draw.

Good flop to get the first goal.

[WBT 20561]

What just happened?  How did he not get a shot off?

[Wulaw Horn 19064]

Wow. POR almost gives it away in minute 10 of stoppage time (9 officially added) to almost give up the dumbest goal in WC history. 

[InkaUtexas 25857]

Should have been reviewed. Fuck......

[Dutch 4465]

Portugal tried to let Ghana equalize. 

Started slow but turned into a great match.

US announcers don't translate well to soccer regardless of sex

british analysis of a match: 10 words or less, and only when necessary and insightful

us analysis every 3 minutes: 10 words of superfluous crap not relevant to the match because they can't leave empty air; banal editorial the announcers believe is insightful and adds value

BTW - looked up the rule - nope. Once he put the ball down and backed away, that was fair game. His fault for forgetting about the last man.

[flatdawgs 1277]

Can't stand Neymar and I normally pull for the underdogs in any case, but while learning Portuguese I found out what an amazing country Brasil is... plus Serbia is full of gotdam vatniks. Normally I'll pull for the upset but not today.

[Wulaw Horn 19064]

Everyone in the worlds second favorite team getting ready to go. I haz teh excite!

Just always blown away by how much better the Brits are at announcing than we are. Sublime use of language, clever turn of phrase, let the game breathe, excitement when warranted to match the moment.

[Captain Ron 12864]

Nah. Ronaldo goat. Let goats eat

Por causa adoro a música e a cultura do Brasil (e por extensão Portugal, Cabo Verde, etc.) Considerando a relocalização para Portugal um dia. Além disso, o que mais havia a fazer durante a pandemia?

Ok. I am an idiot in Spanish and know zero portungese but I think I can read this!

”because I kind the music and culture of Brazil and by extension Portugal and Cabo Verde). I’m considering moving to Portugal one day. Right now I have a couple things during the pandemic. Third sentence is a mess. How’d I do on the other two?  I knew they were close but didn’t know there was that much overlap.

[flatdawgs 1277]

I find the same thing trying to understand Spanish... I'm better than I was but still there are enough differences to really mess me up.

I'm by no means fluent or even close, so I'll defer to the Brasileiros here, but what I was attempting to say was "besides that, what else was there to do during the pandemic?"
