Ok so I have been in Berlin for the last little while and I have spent some time watching the games with my German friends. I have confirmed that soccer is as much, or even more, boring than I knew it to be already.
I do have one question for soccer fans. Why do the announcers scream "goooooooooaaaaaaaalllllllllll" (in their respective languages of course) for what seems like longer than the game takes in the first place every time they score? One announcer screamed "goooaaalll" until he ran out of breath, took a deep breath, and did it again, and then again. I know it doesn't happen much, and I get being excited, but that is just ****ing irritating.
