For those who’d like to experience more of the wondrous Andres Cantor at his best, try this clip from France ‘98:

I don’t understand a word of what Cantor’s saying but that 2nd clip got me cheering.

Props on the piece too Tom.

Well that was 45 minutes of my life I am happy not to get back! I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed that. I know nothing about Mexican football but everything about the passion,tension and emotion of this type of occasion.

You drew me right into the scene with your descriptive writing and I enjoyed every minute of the videos.

Excellent!

Hello Ahmed & all–Hope you enjoy this piece, and even if you’re tempted to think, “I know nothing about Mexican football and so am not interested,” may I suggest, with as much disinterestedness as permissible, that anybody who feels that way and takes time to check out at least the great video clips anyway, will come out with a fresh attitude on the subject…and enjoy themselves along the way.
