Real Madrid are like a rabbit in the glare of the headlights in the face of Manchester United's attacks. But this rabbit comes with a suit of armour in the shape of two precious away goals.
Two soccer points to no score! Eddie Lewis makes a cross-pitch play from the left zone, finding Landon Donovan alone in the danger area. He top-bodies the sphere into the score bag, and Mexico have a double-negative stat!
"Nice touch from Waddle, typical ball by Robson, GOOD WORK FROM ENGLAND!" (Brian Moore)
my friend used to say this in his best Brian Moore voice basically every day at school.
"and Rosenthal's going to score. AND HITS THE BARRRR!"
can't even remember the commentator for that one
Can anyone remember playing Actua Soccer (Club Edition) and dribbling up the pitch with the keeper and shooting? Barry Davies shouted the keeper's name like he was having sex with him.
...but there's a top bit of commentary from the 80s where Danny Wallace rinses a midfield and Motto goes ."Wallace... Ooh, Danny WALLACE!!!". which always makes me smile upon recall.
...where he was commentating on West Brom in the early 80s (Ron Atkinson's side which had a few black players in it). A couple of them combined and knocked it up for Cyrille Regis to knock in. Motto's commentary ran: ."Wonderful link up play from the 3 coloured players there".
I don't think Gerald Sinstadt meant to say "the booing of the black players has paid off", but he did. Also at 11:30 it's not that amazing a finish but Sinstadt treats it like it's Carlos Alberto.

this...
City sell their best striker to Derby, he comes back to Maine Road and scores the winner, they go on to win the title, Barry Davies squeals...

:D
like how you just ignored the OP

HA!
Sorry, i should pay more attention.
That wasn't my first choice actually, i was going to say the time Franny Lee scored for Derby at Maine Road.
Any excuse to post this one
No words - just "aaooohhhhhh??!!!"

I'm afraid the winner comes from American commentary in the Mexico 0 USA 2 World Cup 2002 match...

link?
i must hear this
Was that true?
I remember it being a hoax, though that may have been something else
It was a hoax
Guardian MBM, as I recall. Yeah, the same newspaper whose blog is currently giving serious space to straight-up MLS coverage.
to be fair
that hoax was at least six years ago as I recall.

I don't know if they actually went like this
"Nice touch from Waddle, typical ball by Robson, GOOD WORK FROM ENGLAND!" (Brian Moore)

"and Rosenthal's going to score. AND HITS THE BARRRR!"

Can't find a corresponding clip...
...but there's a top bit of commentary from the 80s where Danny Wallace rinses a midfield and Motto goes ."Wallace... Ooh, Danny WALLACE!!!". which always makes me smile upon recall.
Also, another spot of Motto...
...where he was commentating on West Brom in the early 80s (Ron Atkinson's side which had a few black players in it). A couple of them combined and knocked it up for Cyrille Regis to knock in. Motto's commentary ran: ."Wonderful link up play from the 3 coloured players there".
Wouldn't hear that nowadays.
Commentators were a bit...awkward around black players at the turn of that decade

"His hands out like a big windmill"
Thank you for this gift.
Incredible.
Majestic, merciless, like Kathy Bates with a hammer in that movie.
There used to be a translation of this kicking about
There is a bit where one of them is just chanting 'I love you Zidane'.
