The World of Cups 2014

The last batch of English-announcer sayings to study before the World Cup final today.

USA! USA! USA! Oh wait, they're not in it any more.





He's urging the fans for further endeavours on their part.

It's been quite a slog.

They decided to take off the handbrake and see what happened.

A little over-muscular in the challenge.

...and a clawing save by the keeper.







They bamboozled the Belgian defense.

That's a rather cynical challenge.

It was a deft strike.

The keeper fished it away. (punched)

He gets his thatch on that one. (big hair)

The referee may not be taking his holidays in Brazil.

Brazil has twenty minutes to score to save their blushes.

He's showing plenty of purpose.

It was almost goodnight and thank you.

He's had an imperious World Cup.

Whirled Cup 2014

 I think the previous World Cup announcer was more colourful, but still some gems:

• Their defense has been breached twice.
• He flung himself among the boots.
• The lead may be unassailable.

• He can raid in from here.
• For the Greeks, another disconsolate day.
• He's left for dead.

• They've thrown rocks at each other all game.
• A very obdurate side, those Hondurans.
• Rooney ghosting in behind.


• England with their tails up...

• He practices those assiduously.
• His sour comments have got him into trouble.
• He was curiously unmarked.

• He sported two minds there.
• It's a wonderful night for their talismanic striker.
• A little bit of a cultural talk between players there.
• More calamitous defending by England.
