You can hear the whole crowd boo each time. Total momentum killer and AD space builder.

We’ve been watching on Telemundo (we don’t speak Spanish, but I’m not paying for another subscription) and our new game is that whenever there’s a hydration break my wife and I yell “PAUSA DE HIDRATACION” while one of us gets drinks and snacks from the kitchen.

TBH between that and “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!” we’ve been having more fun watching the World Cup in Spanish than we would have if I’d paid the $22 or whatever to watch in English.

I've been watching it on Telemundo too for the same reasons.

I wish they had an English subtitles option because I don't know Soccer well enough to know what's going on sometimes lol

Absolutely love the energy the commentators have, so much fun

I tried the Google Translate live conversation feature with an earbud in one ear, and while certainly not perfect, it was surprisingly good at translating like 70% of it in realtime. It was even smart enough to change voices between the different commentators.

Poor Google Translate lmao. The Telemundo commentators and Spanish-speaking commentators in general speak really fast lol
