We need the Egyptian airline to get the ball for us.
Is that commentary when an Egyptian played the ball into the stands. Very dry commentary

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

Bros, d tin taya meeee. I tink say na only me our commentators dey piss. They r just so so unprofessional. Taking d game personal!

What happen to Femi and the Gang? Those guys are a pride fr Nigerian commentries. You hear dem making comentry on radio and live football match you'll tink its frm Wembly.

from this write up Femi nd d Gang shld bé doing all Nigeria football commentries. Haba!

There was this match involving the Super Eagles. A Nigerian player was near the opponents' goal and was making a lot of turns so as to create enough space for an attempt at goal. The commentator lost his cool after about five seconds and yelled "Who is this one now? Shoot the ball!"

Lol, I remember Nigeria's match against Greece at WC2010. For some reason, it was a Nigerian commentator on duty. So Nigeria concedes a free kick close to the their eighteen yard box and the commentator laments:

"I've been saying this. The Super Eagles should not concede free kicks close to their vital area". One would think he was talking about their crotch. What happened to "in dangerous areas" or "close to their goal post"? Anyway, the Greeks take the free kick and, what do you know, they score! Our dear commentator goes -

"You see..... They've scored us..... I said it..... "

I wanted to pass out.

An Egyptian corner kick was whipped in from the right hand side of the flank and it caused a little bit of pannick as the ball slipped off from the Nigerian goalkeeper to mikels face almost resulting to an own goal....
.
guess what our able commentator said...

"and the Egyptians are set to take the corner......oh my God!! that would have been criminal if that had gone in"
