My issue with the American commentary is the misuse of American sports terminology within soccer e.g.

Shutout = cleansheet
on the break = on the counter
hail mary = ??

Makes no sense. Just sounds poor.

Also, the commentary for that Nigerian game was mad

We know what they mean, yes, but it's just not the right terminology.

Imagine if Yugoslavia still existed. The team would've been worrisome

Milinkovic-Savic is class, you can see why his transfer free is being talked about in the range of €100m in today's transfer money.

These Costa Rican broads in the stands.

We know what they mean, yes, but it's just not the right terminology.

slang and colloquialisms are allowed

like the dutch call it panna, jamaicans call it salad, and americans say nutmeg but it all talks about the same thing

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Serbia actually has a balanced squad

They will find a way to self destruct, they always do.
