Damn! What a badass lineup! We're gonna win a bunch of games for sure…

Landon at one time was my all time favorite. During that time, I saw him live in person (my first cap), get a hat trick against Ecuador in Tampa.

My all time favorite player in order through my years as a fan:

Meola-Cobi-Landon-Dempsey

Dempsey hasn't been surpassed since he retired, and it's gonna have to be someone really special to replace Dempsey as my all time favorite…

I thought he was trying to pull off a hairstyle from that show Vikings

Speaking of Mike Magee this all time great video is almost 10 years old

That's incredible

Matt Miazga is my favorite until someone gets a better gif vs Mexico

The Andres Cantor version is 10000% better

Amazing camera work there.

No one ever wants to see a close in shot.

Maybe on replay.

They were doing it last night.

I still don't understand why TV thinks we want to see people in the stands, too.

Maybe it's just me.

Did you not see the fan dressed as Lalas last night? Or the fans dressed as the characters from El Chavo Del Ocho at the Mexican v Jamaica game?

The fan shots during down times or celebrations is some of the best parts of watching the game on tv. It brings the atmosphere of the game home to the tv viewers…

Nope. I rarely pay attention to it. I guess it's just me. Carry on.

That's so sad. I'm sorry, dude…

Man I thought Ian Darke's was great and iconic. I've rewatched that play countless time.

I find it funny that Ian had his goal call (which is fantastic "Oh it's incredible! You cannot write a script like this!") but he left some silence for the color commentator right afterwards to talk and it started so robotic & low energy and you can tell he was about to explain the tactical build up in the play that Ian cuts him off and just goes bananas again with excitement about how great the moment was.

That's a play-by-play guy who gets it, just a fantastic call.

It's not sad. Sad is our lack of finishing last night.

lmao I forgot about the vuvuzelas

I wish I could give you more than one stars for that post…

Clint looked like Pepi last night except the Bolivian goalie didn't give up a rebound like the Algerian goalie

He said in an interview that that's his all time favorite call. He said he almost passed out during the call…

As long as they aren't showing the crowd or replays while the ball is live. That's my biggest pet peeve

I also hate the close up like in that clip, or last night they did it twice when someone was pushing the ball down the line. LIke, show the other players and their runs and if there is a cross or not, etc.

Except he did give up a rebound, Pepi just didn't finish that one either.

Watching the replay right now. I saw it. That was hilarious.

That call is greatness!

I watched a video of his call as Argentina won the World Cup. That man loves the sport and absolutely loves Argentina soccer. Made my eyes a little watery for sure.

It's a matter of taste of course but 99 times out of 100 I will prefer the Spanish call over the English call even if I have no idea what the Spanish call is saying the majority of the time. They are consistently more emotional which makes them more real and more fitting of the moment because watching a team score a goal is always emotional (assuming you care about one of the teams playing). English speaking announcers seem to have that taught out of them to a degree or they are too busy trying to be clever.

Low key one of the best US goal calls ever was this one from the Mexican NT announcers when the US beat Panama 3-2 in the final 2014 WCQ and saved Mexico's ass. 10/10...no notes.

I mean, you can't reference that one without going to what has to be the true GOAT...Borstein vs Costa Rica (by way of Honduran announcers)...
