Down by four, chances of advancing to the next round extinguished. It didn’t matter. This is what makes the beautiful game so damn great. For your listening pleasure, The Fields of Athenry.
Take note North American broadcasters, commentators don’t always have to speak.
EDITOR’S NOTE: Because UEFA in their wisdom chose to take a beautiful video off the internet, this is a version filmed by a fan in the stands. Just as powerful…
This was such a great moment in today’s match. This is one of many many reasons why I love the beautiful game…God damn beautiful!
Surprised the copyright claim on the video wasn’t by Liverpool FC. ;-)
This is the original, Field of Anfield Road is based on this
But if commentators don’t speak, it’s tougher to make the moment about THEM…..
Longer vid here and German announcer lets us hear it all
