Legendary Telemundo soccer announcer Andrés Cantor's emotional response after Argentina beat France in the World Cup is going viral. Video of his reaction shows him barely able to contain his excitement at the moment of triumph.
Cantor, who is known for shouting his prolonged "Gooooooool!" call in Spanish-language broadcasts, fought hold back tears after Argentina's Gonzalo Montiel converted the game-sealing penalty shot, giving the team the 4-2 score and the trophy. Following the kick, Cantor yelled "Argentina is champion of the world!" over and over in Spanish and hugged his broadcast partner, the former Argentinian soccer player Claudio Borghi.
Cantor told MSNBC on Monday that he thought the match was an "epic final" and reflected on the memorable call.
