My broadcast of choice for this World Cup has been Univision. I’ve been hooked on its aggressively rolled r’s in Neymar and exaggerated pronunciation of Schweinsteiger, and I’m afraid Canada has presented me with its first cultural hurdle. It saddens to me that for the rest of the cup, I will be the missing the Spanish broadcast’s operatic, 20+ second-long screams of “GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!!”
While I realize this has nothing to do with Punjabi YouTube celebrities, I have been watching the World Cup with my current hosts in Brampton, the suburban Punjab of Canada.
