Color Commentary

So... I almost forget to share this. Last night when we were driving back from Durban to Jo'burg we listened on the radio to the game between Uruguay and South Africa.

Anyway... the commentator was working alone, just doing the play by play. He was not afraid to add in his own color commentary, with such precious nuggets as:

"The goalie for Uruguay is wearing a kit that is head to toe florescent orange. You could not possibly miss him."

and

"That is the brightest yellow card that I have ever seen! Where do you get one of those?"

At the end of the match, which South Africa (known locally as Bafana Bafana) lost 3 to nothing, he signed off with:

"Well, Bafana Bafana are not officially eliminated, but they need to win by a cricket score in their next match if they have any hopes of advancing"
