United States v. Portugal (5 June 2002)
“
Portugal all the over the place here, and they've made another mistake. Here's Donovan, with a cross. Deflected, and in! Two, nil! Can you believe this? Landon Donovan's cross, deflected off Costa. Two, nothing!
— Ian Darke
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Portugal all the over the place here, and they've made another mistake. Here's Donovan, with a cross. Deflected, and in! Two, nil! Can you believe this? Landon Donovan's cross, deflected off Costa. Two, nothing!" in the context of "United States v. Portugal (5 June 2002)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
