ROFL

Sonya can really do a great impression of GOOOOOOAL from that spanish guy. :D

That was a hoot!
I didn't even watch soccer this weekend. But sometimes I will stop if that "goal" guy is announcing on the spanish channel. :D He also does a travel show with this model girl... just FYI. :D

Good work you guys!

I have also been watching Copa Mondial on the Spanish channel!!! (Here it's GALA.) It's much, much better!

Ravi said...

lehsa -- the DriveTime World Cup Edition pick of the day match for tomorrow -- Brazil vs. Croatia with Ronaldinho!

dashiell -- an apology to "nuestros amigos"... it is Univision that has graced us in Boston with these Copa Mundial matches, not Telemundo!

hey ravi! ive seen drivetime since the beginning episodes and now i depend on it. i live in nicaragua (yes really far away), but i was born in ecuador and am half taiwanese. my spanish speaking life means that i have always watched soccer games with the announcer speaking really fast, and sonia has definetly discovered the latin announcer secret, but hey it really makes a goal enjoyable!
i look forward to watching more world cup editions! -peisin

lehsa,
It's not working. Do you have the normal youtube page URL, as opposed to the "just video" one?

Can't wait!

Telemundo! YEAH! Growing up in LA, I remember that exact goal yell. Goodness, that's nostalgic.

Well I had tried to make it private but that means nobody can view it unless they are on your you tube list.

I borrowed stuff from somewhere else.

I fixed it back to public... it's only temporary:

Nice work lehsa! Maybe Univision will pick this up as a promo?!

jeshii -- let us know if there's a comparable vocalization of scoring in Japan!

Oh I'm just giddy with World Cup fever. Now that we have heard your imitation of the Univision futbol announcer (imagine one of the guys from "Los del Rio" popping a blood vessel) Will you lead us in a rousing rendition of Olé song, aka soccer song?

anonymous -- I think *you* need to lead us in a rousing rendition of Olé. Propel DWCE (DriveTime World Cup Edition) to a new level!
