Hear Abel Xavier Talk

By: Laurie | March 11th, 2008

He does talk! Starting at about the :58 second mark. An accent that combines Mozambique and Portugal. And includes the charming phrase “Em Ell Eeyess.”

(Thanks, George!)

    Crazy ole Ruud Gullit and his metric system talk.

    I was dissapointed with Xavier’s voice. Someone told me he sounds like a vampire, but I didn’t really get that impression. Damn, I thought the league was really bending backwards for us by allowing us to field a vampire. Oh well.

    BTW, in case you didn’t see my last post. I changed my name, I used to post as CentralCoaster.

    Ruud’s “metric system talk,” LMAOROTF! For me it was like, OMG, someone uses a temperature reference I actually understood! Then when I saw Cronin (I’m guessing) training in goal and hitting that frozen turf… aieee!

    Thanks, Laurie for the moovee. I was disappointed too with Xavi’s voice… so much build up. A vampire? I’ll have to listen again. He’s lyrical sounding at least.

    It’ll be interesting to see how he portays a “hitman” in the moovee (that sounds just terrible based on the plot summary). Speaking of moovee’s and footballers… anyone recognize Chucky Venice (from Dreamteam, come on I know y’all watch that cheeky show on FSC) playing a CIA black opps asset in The Bourne Ultimatum? Can you tell which scene he’s in? I’ll give you a hint, think east-of-Portugal.. had to tie it into Xavi somehow, right?

    Vampire.. I can’t tell from this clip. How does a vampire sound? I loved those guys in the Underworld films… all that Romanian-esque flavoring. So vlad

    Becks saying “soccer” though, that’s the funniest. sounding. thing. ev-er.

    Becks saying “soccer.” Yes, that stuck out for me too! I kept expecting “foot-bow.”
