The Resume

    Born in Argentina

    Covered every game of the 1990, 1994 and 1998 World Cups

Why he might be annoying:

    He says he would have preferred playing soccer over covering it, 'But unfortunately I wasn't good enough.'
    While covering the World Cup, he sometimes shows obvious favoritism for the Latin American teams.
    He has appeared in Spanish language campaigns for Pepsi, Snickers, Budweiser, Allstate, General Motors and American Airlines.
    Telemundo sells his 'GOOOOAAAAALLL!' as a ringtone.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He has an encyclopedic knowledge of soccer.
    He was named Sports Personality of the Year by the American Sportcasters Association (1994).
    Many viewers watching World Cup soccer on ABC or ESPN would switch to Univision after a score to hear his 'GOOOOAAAALLL!'
    He said of his growing number of English-speaking fans, 'They might not understand the words, but they understand the passion.'
