OK, I know that you have probably seen this video hundreds of times but what the heck it stills sends shivers each time I see and listen to it. When you combine the genius of Maradona and the passion of Victor Hugo Morales (who by the way is Uruguayan
), probably the best football commentator that ever was, you just get a pure moment of magic. I wish European commentators would sound more thrilled when they comment games. Do you know of any?
Update : I translated Morales’s comment in English:
“Maradona has the ball. 2 players are on him. Maradona steers the ball. The genius of world football tears off to the left. He can pass to Burruchaga, still Maradona, genius, genius, genius, ta,ta, ta, goooooooooooooooool, I want to cry Holy God, hurray football, I want to cry Holy God, hurray football, gooolaaazoooo Diegoooool, this is for crying, sorry, in a memorable run, the play of all times, cosmic keg,..from what planet are you to have left so many English trailing behind you, so that the country can be one tight fist shouting for Argentina. Argentina 2 England 0, Diegol, Diegol, Diego Armando Maradona, thank you God. For football, for Maradona, for these tears, for this Argentina 2 England 0…”
You can really feel and listen that Morales has given his best here and that he is almost breathless at the end of this memorable comment. I just love it!
Maracanazos like to listen to South American commentators.
