I'm not a football fan but I settled for the match. I really got interested in the commentary.

"The part I love most was when Egypt equalized. The commentator was like : they (super eagles) took the panadol, the lexotant and all the sleeping pills. They turned on the AC and slept in the defense."

When a goal kick was awarded to Egypt lolz, hw was like "and a goal kick to Nigeria"

When an Egyptian played a very high goal kick, he was like "ohhh! We would need the Egyptian Air ( ie Egypt air line) to get that.

It was 2 mins to game time and he belike" 2 mins is a lot of time I football. But in basketball ball 2 mins is a whol lot of time. "

So so funny he didn't know the names of all the players. So he rep them by country.

I really enjoyed the match, I mean the COMMENTARY. It made my day especially as a non football fan.

Big big LOLZZZZ.

Okay firstly I'd like to express my dismay at the poor diction and obvious lack of requisite knowledge Nigerian commentators portray in our NPFL matches and international matches vs other countries.

And secondly why are Nigerian commentators always expressing their support for the Nigerian side? what happened to just giving a fair commentary like it's done in foreign matches i watch on t.v?? you hear statements like "our" boys are playing well.

This lackluster unprofessional show of mediocrity did not start today but the commentator for today's match vs Egypt was very annoying, i mean it irked me so bad i had to volume down the t.v. but on a second thought i felt i should listen and laugh at his dumbfoundness.

As i kept watching the match, i wasn't satisfied with just listening and laughing so i started documenting (yep it was that bad).

So for those of you that didn't watch the match and those that were too angered to listen to the commentary, here are the one's i picked. Enjoy!

*The game is looking 3 points for the super eagles...really??
*Ogene Caro slide the Egypt number 11 and the ref says play on so If he likes he can lie down for the rest of the game....isn't this partial and rude to the opponent??
* As the captain of the side he would get up....(he said this when Mikel was fouled)... so only captains can get back to their feet after being fouled??
* A kick and a yellow card to....to...(trying to check for the players name but probably didn't find it)...to...(then he realised he could just say the country's name)...to Egypt
*Ogene trying to find his man...As it is this time or that time it did not work...
* As it is now the Egyptians would be satisfied going home conceding all 3 points to the super eagles...who told him that??
* He didn't need to do that a goal would still give us 3 points...showing preference and disrespecting the opponent again (this happened when an Egyptian defender cleared out Moses' golden chance to double the lead)
* We have 3mins to play and if you do 3min by 60 seconds we have 180seconds...the eagles should not slip up...d eagles should not slip up...oh! the Egyptians have equalized!

So there you have it, our joker of a commentator. Add up the one's i missed

I don't listen to Nigerian commentators. As a matter of fact, I prefer foreign commentators for even Nigerian matches.

The way those guys (foreign commentators) draw facts and parallels with ease are amazing. Makes football watching interesting.

I don't care abt d man grammar.

but what made me angry to go off my gen b4 d match end is his sentiment when Moses goal was clear off by dat egyptian defender.

.

.

and he didn't knw d players name especially d egyptian players; it was only Salah and D Goal Keeper name dat he knew.

When Iheanacho was substituted with Umar; he first called Iheanacho 'Azubuike' he changed nd called Umar 'Azubuike'.
For heaven on earth sake where him azubuike cme frm

Hahahahahahahahahahahahhahaha.......

Football match without commentary is like "porn without sound" lipsrsealed. Bad or gud, there has to be someone describing how d match is going. Nevertheless, I think those naija commentators really need to step up their game..... their analysis is so woeful! undecided

woeful is even an understatement... in this age and time? even an 11 years old British or American kid would do better

The commentary annoyed me more than the goal.I was unfortunate to hear the unprofessional commentary when power was restored, and I had to temporarily switched to TV for decoder to complete scanning.

I really need a powerful UPS, My ear will never hear this type of commentary again.Lailai.I prefer to listen to music instead

BTW, to the OP, I think the right verb in this context is "commentate".

Lolz, Nigerian commentators are whack mehn. People complain about the youths getting addicted to European leagues, but forget the Nigerian league pitches are so whack some stadiums are like beach soccer pitches, the play is so rough, if you are not heavily built you may not cope favorably and the commentating is more comedy than reality.



Finally...
Firstus to Commentus!

mhmmm. To tell you the truth, i start watching the t.v an hour before kick off in epl matches cos i gain alot from the commentators' wealth of knowledge... gosh! those guys are amazing, they could tell a clubs entire history, they could mention every member of both teams...why can't we have that in Nigeria?
