I’d very much like to know whether people know about this historic tirade, and what you think about it.

Norway, the underdog, defeated England 2 to 1 in the world championship in 1981, and Norwegian sports commentator Bjørge Lillelien ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bjørge_Lillelien ) got so excited at the end that he said (translated to English):

“We are the best in the world! We are the best in the world! We have beaten England 2–1 in football!! It is completely unbelievable! We have beaten England! England, birthplace of giants. Lord Nelson, Lord Beaverbrook, Sir Winston Churchill, Sir Anthony Eden, Clement Attlee, Henry Cooper, Lady Diana—we have beaten them all. We have beaten them all.”

“Maggie Thatcher can you hear me? Maggie Thatcher, I have a message for you in the middle of the election campaign.[a] I have a message for you: We have knocked England out of the football World Cup.[b] Maggie Thatcher, as the say in your language in the boxing bars around Madison Square Garden in New York: Your boys took a hell of a beating! Your boys took a hell of a beating!”

Which got a lot of attention and has since been copied or parodied several times.
