I couldn't care less about Brazil winning here, especially because I really hate Neymar and I hope he retires without ever being world champion. It's just that I root for the smaller teams (or any team playing against Argentina, to be honest ). Ah I understand. Yes it’s always fun when small nations can upset the favorites. I see Neymar getting much hate. But why? Yes he’s acting as a dying animal sometimes but he’s not the only one? thiago_simoes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some athletes just generally come across as absolute assholes, both on and off the field of play. Neymar is one such example.

It always looks like it doesn’t matter, it reminds me of this meme haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He uses religion to masquerade the fact that he's a bad human being. He supported Bolsonaro because his tax debt was written off. It was around 40 million US dollars. He treats women like objects. He displays very little intelligence and commitment when he tweets. He's just the kind of person no one wants to have around, but since he's rich, he's "forgiven" most of the time for his douchebag behavior.

Basically just with cycling that's common here I think. And I'm also not a fan of the commentators you yell and scream just for the heck of it I happen to watch football (and so many other sports) on different countries sport channels and I have to say almost everywhere (except Iran) they use 2 commentators for almost all sports. which is a good thing to me, 1 commentoator usually misses lots of things. it's hard to watch out for everything while constantly talking I thought only in Iran they use only 1 guy to do the job (which is usually terrible with few exceptions) now you are saying that's not just Iran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kungshamra71 687 Posted November 26, 2022 #2757 Share Posted November 26, 2022 Also, about those "goooooaaaalll" cringe guys, i think it would be difficult to beat a portuguese radio commentator that for every player that scored had a song that we would sang at goal time. It started with "haha, funny" to "please god stop!" so quick.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since cycling is often quite a long broadcast, that often results in a large part being kind of a conversation between the two, my favourite duo on Eurosport does that perfectly - they were a bit awkward when they started out some years ago, without knowing one another, while nowadays during the broadcasts you can just hear that they have become close friends (often making fun at one another, talking about life and so on) Formula 1 has two commentators here since this year, after one guy doing it for 30 years or so but the channel that got the rights from this year didn't hire him. That's about it, in terms of two-commentator-sports here Sometimes some sports have a second commentator if one is available or for some special event or so, but usually not.
