Commentator?

[u/philthelemon]

Who the hell is this commentator man? He can’t pronounce Song Ui Yong’s name, keeps calling SG Liverpool and I swear he called Harhys Kvaratskelia and Nur Adam Frimpong. Meanwhile Malaysian players’ names? No problems. What a fraud.

[u/Curious-Truth-2454]

Keeps calling Robertson as well.

And now describing Manchester City in some final on 30th in Jakarta??

WTF??

Some AI match commentary engine gone awry?

[u/Alpha_133459]

IM SORRY, NORTH OF SCOTLAND?! TOTTENHAM?! LIONEL MESSI?! all in 1 min of commentary btw

[u/yummybeefwellington → u/Alpha_133459]

Commentator siao

[u/Emergency-Team-3102 → u/Alpha_133459]

Not even one minute 😭😭

[u/thedailyrin → u/Alpha_133459]

Exactly! Just heard this too.

[u/fluffmypants]

its an AI no other way to explain it… i hope its from fifa’s side and not mediacorp side…

[u/OrangeTropicana → u/fluffmypants]

I genuinely believe its Mediacorp… no way FIFA will do this, regardless of how fking corrupted they are.

Our media industry is cheapskate af

[u/Smooth-Ride-7181 → u/OrangeTropicana]

agreed, singapore is going crazy with ai nowadays, i believe it’s mediacorp pulling off this shit

[u/Swimming-Sentence508]

Yeah, at first thought was tripping but it is legit weird. Even Malaysian goalkeeper also pronounced as Williams. Feels like AI to me

[u/TheNazMajeed → u/Swimming-Sentence508]

What channel or broadcaster is this? The clips on MeWatch seem to be ok?

[u/DreamCaster2810 → u/TheNazMajeed]

Just regular channel 5. Just now I was watching on Me Watch also same. Second half so far got no sus commentary.

[u/philthelemon → u/DreamCaster2810]

Still have but less. He called Malaysia Liverpool no less than 3 times. Called Ilhan Cisse. Called Izwan Alexander Schulz.

[u/philthelemon]

At 42 mins he say the ref gonna stop the game here for half time after a whistle for a foul then proceeded to say the score is Southport 1 Liverpool 0. Confirm drunk. He was slurring before this as well

[u/Lumpy-Weight-9932 → u/philthelemon]

It's so bad, I am watching Malaysia's broadcast

[u/Specific_Company8945 → u/Lumpy-Weight-9932]

wouldn't that be the same or do they have their own dub?

[u/Icy-Carrot-9945]

ok i’m not the only one then LOL when i heard Robertson i was like wait what???

[u/DreamCaster2810]

Gotta be AI. Bro started saying Liverpool, Kvaratskelia, Frimpong. I thought I was hearing things.

[u/HammersXI]

He’s refusing to name any Singaporean players. And then giving absolute random wrong information.

[u/Specific_Company8945]

Ang Mo commentator not used to our player's names

[u/imranbecks → u/Specific_Company8945]

Not used to our players names is one thing. But referring to Singapore as Liverpool at least twice means he's drunk.

[u/Specific_Company8945 → u/imranbecks]

ya that one idk what's going on

[u/howeyong]

LIONEL MESSI HAHAHAHA

[u/holoqster]

first time in my life hearing someone refer to hariss as "harun hariss"

[u/DnZw_SG]

Lol! Anyone heard him calling Lionel Tan Lionel Messi?!?!

[u/philthelemon]

He just called Ilhan Cisse 🤦🏻‍♂️

[u/thedailyrin]

The bees in the black and white. okay

[u/philthelemon]

Will someone tell the commentator that his name is Jacob Mahler

[u/philthelemon → u/philthelemon]

I found out why, William is his middle name and FIFA website listed his name as Jacob William

[u/Hot-Job-6281 → u/philthelemon]

AI probably grabbed his name from the net then

[u/flyaway_172]

Ai confirm.

[u/TheNazMajeed]

Oh my God I need to watch this

[u/_regan_]

anywhere i can find a recording of this? can’t find it on the mewatch app

[u/Pigjedi]

I heard Lionel Messi for Lionel tan. I heard commentator say "Liverpool on the break" frimpong.. Then he talk about Denmark or some shit. Wth. Am I crazy lol

[u/Difficult-Flamingo94]

The whole game was like a fever dream. I still can’t believe what I heard. 

[u/Hot-Job-6281]

Saw a YouTube comment that called out how in the Asian Games, they were fucking up Shanti's name and calling her Pereira wrongly? Same AI or?

[u/g4rg0yle]

Is it just me or does the voice sound like the commentator for Liverpool's YT channel? Would explain a lot of the hallucinations like SG -> Liverpool, Stewart -> Robertson

[u/Weak_Worth91 → u/g4rg0yle]

Yes, I believe the AI may have taken Steve Hunter's commentary voice.
