The World Cup Commentary 2006 Incident

The incident

On June 26, 2006, during the FIFA World Cup match between Italy and Australia, as the on-field commentator of CCTV, Huang Jianxiang unexpectedly revealed his pro-Italian bias in an anti-Australian rant while commentating on the last minutes of a live match broadcast to many millions in China. The FIFA World Cup, occasionally called the Football World Cup, but usually referred to simply as the World Cup, is an international Association football The Italian national football team is controlled by the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio (FIGC and represents Italy in international football competition The Australian national football team represents Australia in international association football competitions China Central Television or Chinese Central Television, commonly abbreviated as CCTV ( is the major television broadcaster in Mainland China ^[1]^[2] This commentary has been compared to Bjørge Lillelien's "Your boys took one hell of a beating". Bjørge Lillelien ( March 29, 1927 &ndash October 26, 1987) was a Norwegian Sports Journalist and Commentator He shouted himself hoarse in the process, and celebrated the Socceroos' exit from the Cup:

. The Australian national football team represents Australia in international association football competitions . . "Penalty! Penalty! Penalty! Grosso's done it! Grosso's done it! Don't give the Australians any chance. Fabio Grosso, Cavaliere Ufficiale OMRI, (born November 28, 1977) is an Italian World Cup -winning footballer, who plays "

. . . "The great Italian left back! He succeeded in the glorious traditions of Italy! Facchetti, Cabrini and Maldini, their souls are infused in him at this moment! Grosso represents the long history and traditions of Italian soccer; he's not fighting alone at this moment! He's not alone!!"

. Giacinto Facchetti ( 18 July 1942 &ndash 4 September 2006) was an Italian football player Antonio Cabrini (born October 8, 1957) is a Football (soccer coach and former successful player from Italy. Paolo Cesare Maldini ( born 26 June 1968 in Milan) is a legendary Italian footballer who has played his entire career for . . "Totti, Totti is facing the spot kick. Francesco Totti, Cavaliere Ufficiale OMRI, (born September 27 1976 in Rome) is a World Cup -winning footballer who plays for Italian He is facing the expectations from Italian soccer fans all over the world. "

. . . "Schwarzer has saved two spot kicks in the World Cup qualifying tournaments, both of these were during the playoffs of the world cup qualification. Mark Schwarzer (born October 6, 1972 in North Richmond New South Wales) is an Australian football player Totti should have known this. Will he still be able to face the man in front of him with a smile? How about his expression after 10 seconds?"

. . . "Goooooal! Game over! Italy win! Beat the Socceroos! They do not fall in front of Hiddink again! Italy the great! Italian left back the great! Long live Italy! Happy birthday to Maldini!! Forza Italia!!"

. . . "He didn't let the Italians down. This penalty kick was an absolute one-off! Absolute one-off! Italy have made the final eight!"

. . . "The victory belongs to Italy, to Grosso, to Cannavaro, to Zambrotta, to Buffon, to Maldini, to everyone who loves Italian soccer!!"

. Fabio Cannavaro, Cavaliere Ufficiale OMRI (born September 13, 1973 in Naples) is an Italian World Cup -winning footballer Gianluca Zambrotta, Cavaliere Ufficiale OMRI, (born February 19, 1977 in Como, Lombardy, Italy) is an Italian Gianluigi "Gigi" Buffon, Cavaliere OMRI is an Italian FIFA World Cup -winning Goalkeeper who currently plays for Italian Serie . . "The hell with them!" (Background voice)

. . . "The Socceroos might regret, Hiddink! He played too conservatively and too calmly with one more player (than Italy) in the second half, he lost all his courage. Guus Hiddink (born 8 November 1946 in Varsseveld) is a Dutch former professional football player and manager, currently the manager of the Faced with the long history and traditions of Italian soccer, he didn't attack as fiercely as he did in the group matches. He finally reaped fruits which he had sown! They should go home. They don't need to go as far away as Australia as most of them are living in Europe. Farewell!"

Huang was initially unapologetic for his controversial commentary in the post-game linkup with CCTV. He stated that he could not be impartial all the time and he did dislike the Socceroos because the team reminded him of the New Zealand team, most of whom lived abroad, which beat China in the World Cup qualifying tournaments in 1981. New Zealand is an Island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island FIFA World Cup qualification is the process a national Football (soccer team goes through to qualify for the FIFA World Cup Finals, or more commonly ^[3]

Huang's commentary sparked a barrage of complaints as well as several press criticisms the following day. His commentary was replaced with another commentator's when the video of the match was replayed by CCTV. After reviewing his commentary, Huang eventually apologised on the state-run CCTV the next day, and posted an apology on its website for his unwarranted prejudice. He did not commentate on the next game.

Huang appeared live on CCTV again while he acted as commentator to the Germany vs. Argentina(BallackVSTangoBrigade) match on 30 June 2006, which quashed the rumour that he has been dismissed by CCTV. He commentated on many subsequent matches, including the final between France and Italy held in Berlin on 9 July 2006. Berlin is the capital city and one of sixteen states of Germany. All these matches were co-commentated with a fellow commentator.

Post-match reactions

Huang's outburst caused an uproar and then sparked a huge debate online and offline in China^[4], as well as in Australia^[5]. His superior Zhang Bin, the director of CCTV Sports Channel, criticised Huang for first losing his voice (失声), next losing his cool (失态) then losing his politeness (失礼), and finally losing his mind (失常).
