World Cup Commentators: Dumb as Rocks?

Funundrum reports, you decide.

I dislike sports talking heads at the best of times. Especially the shouty ones. But somehow, during world-class events, they somehow become even stupider. Maybe it's the pressure. Maybe it's that their bosses have threatened them with certain death if they allow even the smallest bit of dead air to survive. At any rate, the things that come out of their mouths are simply not to be believed. I mean, remember the Olympics?

The Argentina vs. Ivory Coast game was no different. My favorite retarded statement of the whole game:

"Wow, this game has really turned 360 degrees."

Try it. Go ahead and try it. Turn 360 degrees and see which direction you end up facing. God, I hate talking heads. I'm hoping that future games offer up similar gems.

P.S. -- for those of you not following, Argentina kicked ass. Che boludo. Also, attention Australia: if you can't beat Japan tomorrow, there is something wrong. They are three feet tall, and you guys are 100% lager-powered.

Update: Oi! Oi! Oi!

Jason Kidd, point guard for the New Jersey Nets, was caught saying the same stupid thing a few years ago. "I came in and turned the game around 360 degrees". So so dumb. Fun watching the World Cup live at proper hours of the day here. :)
