Why Are Announcers Always Like This?

All this talk of legs:

“Tired legs,” “fresh legs,”

“old legs,” “young legs,” “injured legs.”

 

“If only they could

make use of the ball as a

goal scoring device.”

 

“England are here to

win the World Cup tournament.

Their hopes are sky high.”

 

“They’re just good—this is

not about talent.”  What are

you even saying?’

 

11 Shots on Target vs. 1 Shot on Target, and the Keeper is Calm

Chronically Overrated, Chronically Underrated

‘Magic moment’?—but,

ninety minutes is enough

to be upsetting.

Do. the. pass. you. fool.

runrunrunrunrunrunrun

assist and… IT’S IN!!!

 

But Honestly, We Mostly Just Talk About Modrić and How Beautiful He Is and How Effortlessly He Plays and How We Want Him to Whisper Sweet Nothings into Our Ears and Kiss Us on the Neck

Just so elegant.

Luka—what a handsome man.

The “little owl.”
