Brazil vs South Africa Confederations Cup


I was a work while this game was played so I couldn’t watch it and so this commentary may be accurate and worthwhile. However I wonder where this commentator is from and why he is wasting our time with this. I copied some of the comments directly from the ESPN gamecast.
61' I know I bigged him up, but Melo has been nonsense tonight.
This is ok I guess but nothing about what is happening in the game
71' Brazil's passing tonight has been as erratic as Amy Winehouse's heartrate.
Strange analogy, however as I said it may be true I wasn’t watching the game
72' Tshabalala really is a first class name. Apparently he has brother called Po and Tinky Winky.
This is a terrible joke is it a teletubby thing?, does he think the guy is gay? A joke like this wouldn’t work on the teletvision or radio so any chance of it working in print is gone.
77' Booth - who has one of the longest necks I've seen and looks like one of hammerheads from Return to Oz - knocks the ball out of play, but is awarded the throw anyhow, much to Fabiano's consternation.
At least this is somewhat related to the game but really it is just an insult.
81' Alves is rolling down his girly poloneck in preparation for his imminent introduction. He replaces Santos.
Another insult it seems the commentator doesn’t even like soccer.
83' Melo is robbed by Modise and Lucio is then adjudged to have fouled Pienaar, which elicits a tantrum. It's been bothering me all night, and I'm pleased to say I've at last realised who Lucio reminds me of - it's Ivan Lendl.
83' Luisao has really quite a magnificent nose
Or maybe he just likes some of the players more than others, a lot.
85' And another thing I've just noticed. The very front of Dunga's hair hides the baldness that lies behind it. Good effort, but not good enough.

Now he is insulting the coach. I had to Google a picture of the coach to check out this statement and I have to disagree. He may be balding, but the short spikey hair is fine, I have seen plenty of worse attempts at hiding it
86' At last Brazil show something. Kaka drives at the defence, feeds it into Ramires, and he's fouled on the edge of area, to the left hand side.
And about here is where Brazil scored the only goal of the game.
90' I know I've slated him tonight, but I do like Dunga's velvet jacket, although I wouldn't wear it.
This is a very backhanded compliment. I also don’t know what the jacket looked like so I can neither defend the jacket or the comment
93' Well I'm glad that's over. A miserable game and a miserable performance from Brazil. South Africa did well, but you can't help but feel if they'd been a little less cautious, they might have managed to win. They'll also be rueing Mokoena's miss in the first half.
And the true feeling s about the game come out at the end.
