FOX Sports viewers mercilessly called out play-by-play commentator Darren Fletcher and ******* yst Owen Hargreaves after the pair repeatedly insisted that Lamine Yamal had yet to find the net at the World Cup.
On Friday, Yamal and Spain booked their place in the World Cup semifinals with a 2-1 victory over Belgium, a match in which Belgian goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois struggled to hold back tears as he was forced off through injury. Throughout the closely-fought contest, Fletcher and Hargreaves maintained that the 18-year-old sensation had still not scored during this year's tournament.
Turning to social media, viewers were quick to highlight that Yamal had netted in the 10th minute of Spain's 4-0 demolition of Saudi Arabia during the Group Stage. "Somebody needs to tell the commentators on FOX that Lamine Yamal has a goal in this World Cup," one X user wrote, with another adding: "Is the fox commentator dumb or something? He's said twice that Lamine Yamal is still looking for his first world cup goal."
