Crazy Chinese Commentator · Jun 30, 12:12 AM

If you’re following the World Cup and live in China, you should had heard about the overly enthusiastic commentator – Huang Jian Xiang from CCTV. Here’s the story for you guys outside.

While the referee’s decision to award a penalty to Italy against Australia sent fans all around the world debating the decision, Huang Jian Xiang, commentating live for TV channel CCTV 5, was simply ecstatic after Grosso was brought down in the box. When Totti scored the Penalty to send Australia home, he went into an euphoric trance – he screamed, shouted, and even go as far as suggest that Maldini’s spirit is upon Grosso.

While Huang had since made a public apology, people are still guessing the story behind, some suggesting that with Totti’s goal he won a huge bet on the Italy-Australia match.

Here’s the the video I found on YouTube, ignore the bad video quality and turn on your speakers!
