Brit Color

The British World Cup commentator for ABC offered the best quote of the tournament yet. Referring to the high strung Argentine forward Tevez, he said:

"He's a volatile cocktail, ready to spill over at the slightest shaking."

Brilliant.

  1. Righto!! If that had been an American commentator they would've said "he's like a beer with an over-active head oozing down the glass".... Not quite the same ring to it, nor the lovely display of language!! Imagine if sports commentators in the U.S. had a vocabulary and syntax that actually challenged the viewers/listeners?! Whoops - that would force us to be more edu-ma-cated!!
