A quick explanation for the non-soccer fans: this is a recording of Honduran coverage of the U.S. v. Costa Rica game. When the U.S. scored a very late goal to tie the game, it assured Honduras’ first World Cup berth since 1982.
The recording is wonderful simply because this obviously means so much to them. It stands in contrast to the “professional” objectivity of many American commentators.

Ha! Great stuff. I have very fond memories of being in Manhattan & Brooklyn in 2006 during the World Cup and watching soccer fans from all over rooting for their teams. We should do an ethnography on this next summer.

You should see the people in Brazil in 1994, after our team won the 4th title after 24 years!
