The Player-Commentator
Ever pretended to play like Messi, Ronaldo or Rapinoe?
How about the people who tell you what’s going on at the game?
My new favorite player at Euro 2024 has created a new kind of role: he’s a player-commentator. Young Noble is a lip sync commentator from Nigeria who takes highlights of each game and re-runs them in his own inimitable style.
It’s strangely delightful, and is fast becoming my favorite football format.
Remember: talent is everywhere, and everything’s a remix.
