The enthusiasm of a cry of 'GOOOOOL' that lasts several seconds is one of the most beloved parts of watching the beautiful game
Watch any Spanish or Portuguese-language commentary of a football match and you'll be graced with the familiar, elongated monosyllabic cry of "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!" whenever a player scores, no matter how big or small the game.
It is a signature component of Spanish-language commentators, who scream the word with an incredible amount of gusto and passion.
But why do they celebrate strikes in such a way? Goal takes a look.
