Yanks and their soccer commentaters

ESPN's commentators seemed to get a little confused as the Community Shield went into a penalty shoot-out, or 'pee-kays' as they insisted on calling them.

"Chelsea have a new goalkeeper!? BUT he's wearing Cech's jersey!!! Somethings going on here, he's wearing Cech's jersey but I KNOW that's not him! You can tell by the size of the man, Cech's a huge keeper, this guy seems small."

No chaps, he's just far away.

Then, after the camera pans around for a close-up on Cech:

"Oh no wait, it is him...I haven't seen him without head gear for so long."

Ah yes, because we all know how tricky it can be to judge a man's size when he's sans headgear.
