Video: German commentator praises Arsenal's 'Big F**king German'

While Germany has given us schadenfreude, doppelganger and backpfeifengesicht (that last one means a 'particularly slappable face'), we have responded with the unique nickname Arsenal fans have given to Per Mertesacker. If you were thinking it hasn't caught on, think again. Just watch and listen as a German commentator breaks from his native tongue during the FA Cup final after the "Big F**king German" finds the net. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQrYVXLxL2k We imagine his outburst got a slightly better reception than the last time that particular nickname was uttered live on British TV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGdC1hm1P9k
