Argentina vs Chile: A Narrator's Emotional Journey

It has become a habit that in matches between national teams, commentators are unable to hide their bias towards their own country. Football is about national pride, and not even being part of a media outlet can erase that.

This happened to the journalist from 'TyC Sports' during the penalty shootout between Argentina and Chile. Every goal from the Argentinians was celebrated, while the ones from Chile were only commented on with a tepid voice. The co-commentator showed the same partiality. Completely understandable.

It wasn't just the phrases from the broadcaster, but also the silences and his nervous voice after Lionel Messi's miss. That penalty was crucial in changing the narrator's state of mind, which gradually became more afraid.

During the live broadcast, the commentator urged Sergio Romero to excel and stop the Chilean penalties. After the journalist's pleas, Lucas Biglia missed and 'Gato' Silva scored, leaving the announcer speechless.

There were long seconds where the narrator stopped talking. He couldn't bear the sorrow of seeing Argentina once again miss out on becoming champions. The sadness prevented him from narrating any further.
