I don't understand a word this announcer is saying. But his joy is obvious, and considering how improbable it was that Saudi Arabia went ahead of Argentina in the 2nd half, I think most announcers would have reacted the same way.
I watched the end of the 1st half and the beginning of the 2nd half of the FRA v AUS match and FRA is on a way different level than the US. They continually advanced and put pressure on AUS time and time again.
If the US had adopted the same attitude as FRA in the 2nd half, we'd have 3 pts.

Japan with the equalizer at the 74 minute mark. 1-1. I believe the guy that scored had been subbed in just 4 minutes earlier.

The missed opportunity and the goal were carbon copies of each other: Neuer makes a great save and Japan gets the rebound. In the first instance it went wide, in the second instance it’s net.
%&$* -- one of the best matches so far in the WC, and my power went out shortly after Japan tied things up, and I missed Japan's 2nd goal.
Down Goes Germany!!!
Great match by Japan
2-1 is the final

The tweet asks a good question. The GK was so concerned with a low ball that he left things wide open for a high shot.
Looking back, this sequence by the Japan GK was huge with regards to Japan getting the W:
Somebody made some nice coin on Japan.
@RyanSnyder, @Grant Green, @Erial_Lion -- you guys active in betting on WC matches?

PK awarded to Spain. Tough call (technically accurate, but a really tough call on the defender), and Spain converts at the 30 minute mark, making it 3-0, Spain.
Yeah, this was brilliant. Germany was throwing the kitchen sink at the keeper. Well done.
I really enjoy watching Japan play. Fast and disciplined. They put a lot of pressure on Germany’s back line, threw long balls the whole match long. They kept getting called offside but only just, and you got the feeling that it might pay off, which it did.
Spain has some firepower. I thought Spain was just a hair offsides in the buildup toward the 5th goal. The goal itself was a beautiful shot.
