It was funny when Heinze missed, the commentator yelled "Oh my, he's Beckhamed it!".

i wouldnt know. it was in spanish. the only thing i understood was a guy yelling "goooooooooooooooooooooooooool, gooool , goool ,goooooooooooooooooooool" everytime a penalty was scored.

Yeah.....it was either the word "gol" repeated 20 times or "golaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacio, golaaaaacio, golacio, golacio, goalcio."

Asso, asso, asso.

Yeah, that's a Pablo Ramírez classic.

But my absolute favorite is from the more subdued color commentary of Ricardo Mayorga: his trademark "Olé!" whenever a player maneuvers himself and/or the ball nicely around a defender.

He must have said it four times in the first five minutes of the Brazil-Uruguay SF.

compare to ronaldinho - ronaldo

Toss in Kaka, however, and this offensive triad has looked more like the trident for Venezuela in the WC qualifiers thus far.

Haha......I loved that one. In fact, it was the only thing that kept me from muting the volume for the whole Copa. Did he start saying that after the Nike commercial?

Actually thats kinda popular in all South America... everytime I go to the stadium and something like that happens you can hear everyone saying oooooole. Same when youre watching matches in TV!

And its been like that for years... the Nike Olé commercial has nothing to do with that

"Dont cry for Brazil, Argentina!!!!!!!!!"

WE ARE THE BEST! WE ARE THE BEST OF AMÉRICA!

FORÇA BRASIL - FORÇA ADRIANO - FORÇA JÚLIO CÉSAR - FORÇAR JUAN!

Hey, Bielsa... DONT FOR FOR PARREIRA!

How come Edu spoke with the Spanish-speaking commentator with no problems? Do most Brazilians also know Spanish, in addition to Portugeuese?

 

[swag]

On the subject of "Olé!" and the Nike ad -- did you notice the pronunciation difference between continental Portuguese and Brazilian Portuguese? (The Brazilian is more like a rolling "Olllayy!")

And yeah -- I couldn't help but notice Edu speaking Spanish ... or Adriano speaking Spanish after the Uruguay SF and Italian when a guest on La Domenica Sportiva. Here these guys are football players, and I wish I had their language skills.

Spanish isn't a far stretch for someone who speaks Portuguese, however. But I doubt most Brazilians know how to speak it -- even being surrounded by so many Speanish-speaking countries.

 

[Débora_BR]

They dont speak Spanish. Its a mixture between Portuguese and Spanish.

Its called: "Portunhol"

Portugues + Espanhol.

 

[nosubstitute959]

So all Brazilians can both understand and speak Spanish?

 

[Débora_BR]

Well, yes...
