Hilarious Argentinian commentary leaves BBC pundits in stitches during World Cup final

A hilarious clip of Argentinian coverage of their World Cup final against France left Gary Lineker and his BBC colleagues in stitches during half-time of the huge game in Qatar.

Argentina went into the break with a comfortable 2-0 lead after Lionel Messi opened the scoring with a penalty and Angel Di Maria doubled the lead following a well-worked counter attack. However, it was to go wrong in the second half with Kylian Mbappe's quickfire double levelling the scores with 10 minutes to go.

Discussing the faultless first-half performance by the South American side, who last won the World Cup back in 1986, BBC pundits Alan Shearer, Rio Ferdinand and former Argentina star Paolo Zabaleta were treated to a snippet of Argentine commentary of Di Maria's goal, which was a little different to what viewers in the UK were used to.

The clip saw commentators in Argentina go crazy following the decisive strike, shouting 'gol' repeatedly and at a rapid speed, nearly being left out of breath as they joined the players in celebrating the goal.

Watch the video and listen to the commentary below:

The pundits cracked up at the hilarious video, with Lineker remarking: "I think it was safe to say it was a goal!" Shearer also joined in, pointing at former Manchester City star Zabaleta and claiming: "That was Paolo in the studio by the way, that was him!"

Fans also loved the clip, claiming that commentators such as the BBC's Guy Mowbray should show the same passion when they are behind the mic during games.

"That's how you do it," wrote one on Twitter. "[BBC] commentators were silent". Another added: "I want to see [ITV's] Sam Matterface do this," while a third stuck the boot in, commenting: "And we get Danny Murphy".
