Telemundo commentators sing 'Take Me Home, Country Roads' during USA match

jozy altidore and mark mckenzie doing the postgame tv interview on telemundo in spanish was dope

i caught it on the telemundo broadcast - announcers going “Leeeoooo!” heheh

The official song of USMNT is John Denver’s “Country Roads,” a song conceived of in Maryland, written in DC, and recorded in NYC about Massachusetts, yet featuring discontiguous references to a river in Virginia and the state of West Virginia, which claims the song because of the catchy hook.

super fun game, even without the telemundo crew going on an extended take me home country roads riff

@cjzero.bsky.social please please get Telemundo saying "COUNTRY ROADS TAKE ME HOME TO THE PLACE I BELONG" around the 51-52 minute mark lol

not just english, watching the cup mostly on telemundo has me remembering a bunch of countries have completely different names in spanish too

The “Country Roads/Sweet Caroline” discourse on the Telemundo broadcast is sublime

Telemundo announcer just now: COUNTRY ROADS TAKE ME HOME TO THE STADIUM WITH THE BALL

I can't be the only one that hates Country Roads as the song of choice here right?

lmao the Telemundo guy just said "Country road take me home"

telemundo ranking stadium anthems and reciting the lyrics to country roads. may be worth learning spanish just so I can follow more of what these guys are talking about.

“Take me home, country roads, to the place I belong, in a stadium with a ball” —Luis Omar Tapia

Telemundo very clearly insisting on the Spanish names, which is why I’ve become such a Paises Bajos fan

Was channel-surfing to find the World Cup game on the in-laws tv and stumbled across the Telemundo broadcast with both games. So now can listen to the commentators in Spanish and when they start speaking fast and excited, I know to look up from my phone.

Telemundo is so dang good!! And all the commercials have the most wholesome, beautiful & normal vibing people!! I also love when the one commentator guy holds out “GOOOOOOOOAAAAA-“ twice on every goal! 😂 Seriously good Uncle energy during the games.
