Commentary in Arabic goes viral as Saudi side shocks heavily favored Argentina — and the world.
The World Cup world can’t stop talking about Saudi Arabia’s stunning 2-1 upset of perennial world footballing power Argentina on Tuesday.
And apart from a joyous back flip by Salem Al-Dawsari, who scored the winning second goal in Qatar on Day 3 of the competition, this announcer’s enthusiasm has emerged as the match’s most viral moment: The Saudi win, in neighboring Qatar, has for some triggered memories of 1990, when Cameroon beat a Diego Maradona–led Argentina 1-0 in a World Cup opener in Milan.
“No idea what the commentator is saying but that is pure football passion, #whatagoal,” said a Twitter user named @CitizenMalone, no doubt speaking for many.Tuesday’s goal call was hardly an outlier for big moments in the world’s most popular sport.
