Last night Atlanta won the MLS final against Portland. It was live on Eurosport as MLS usually is, with a commentator who's been doing it for 20-25+ years....but last night he was either ignoring the match on purpose or he was just drunk. I watched it this morning and I have never in my life heard a commentator talk so much nonsense and so little about the match  

 

I heard him recite a poem about death, stories about Garibaldi, nickel mines in Canada, dirty clothes in the dressing room in his own time as a player, 90 minutes of anecdotes about his life in the football world and the 1-0 was only briefly mentioned..."this is the guy that has the annoying habit to score when I'm talking" and then he went on with his story about referees. The 2-0 was 100% ignored, he did not mention a single word about it.

 

He is now fired, although it's not sure whether he was already fired and he did this out of revenge, or he got fired because of this.

By the way, just sharing an anecdote about this. The commentator was talking about how he thinks it's bullshit teams come together in a circle 5 minutes before the match, because the preparation should be done anyway and everyone knows what they should be doing.

 

"In our time there used to be dead silence in the locker room the minutes before we were called up for the match. Except for Wim xxx (forgot his surname). I remember once everyone was quiet, Wim asked the doctor if he had a shitting problem. 'Doc, I always have to take a shit at 08.15, every morning.' 'Well', the doc said, 'you have a perfectly regular bowel movement, no worries', much to the annoyance of everyone trying to focus. Wim wasn't done though: 'Yeah, but the problem is I only wake up at 9am'. And then the entire team couldn't hold in their laughter and the focus was gone."

 

That's how the commentary went for one and a half hour.

that was not his way to celebrate, it was the guy behind him who lowered his pants and then touched his ass

It seems that this time nothing will prevent the copa libertadores final to take place at the Bernabéu in half an hour.

There's still 8 minutes to go for someone to hit a bus or cause mayhem or something, I'm not trusting it yet.
