Audio: Tony Limarzi is excited

08/26/2008 2:23 PM by Kyle Sheldon

A lot of folks have commented on the fact that Santino Quaranta's second half goal against Colorado over the weekend was not nominated for the Goal of the Week (but, Joe Vide's did!).  Unfortunately, Saturday's game was only broadcast on Altitute Sports, who didn't put a camera behind the north goal (as team's normally do) and thus didn't have the best angle to view Santino's dipping, swerving shot.

Do you know who did have a good angle?  The radio voice of D.C. United, Tony Limarzi.  Tony's broadcst booth is near the northwest corner flag and was therefore directly in line with the trajectory of Santino's goal.  THAT is likely the reason he was so excited... 

And here's the video in case you want to watch both at the same time..

    It really is a shame that their wasn't another camera angle on that shot. I remember thinking that there's no way the ball would curve back in, especially after being struck with the right foot, and before I could complete my thought, the ball was in the back of the net and I was jumping up and down!

    I just love listening to Tony when we score. He goes completely nuts. That is what a good play by play analysist is supposed to be like when we score!

    Good job Tony!

    I absolutely love Tony's calls. I always download the postgame show to hear the replay. Keep up the good work Limarzi!

    And not to take anything away from Vide, because his goal was phenomenal and it really helped with momentum in the match - but Tino's definitely deserved a GOTW nod of some kind. Jaime's chip in the New England match deserved some recognition as well. Just too many fantastic goals from United this week. I love it!
