One of the best tidbits that I picked up at the soccer game was to be next to the announcer’s box (if possible) when you aren’t familiar with the game. The announcer will talk you through the entire game and never even notice you.
I waited until the second half of the game to go over and explore the teams’ side of the field. I took up the least amount of space as possible and didn’t distract anyone, but it was great hearing the announcer tell the audience at home or on the radio what was happening because then I knew what was happening.
For example, there was one play in the game where I thought Armstrong scored against the other team. The ball went into the net, but the announcer talked about different rules and explained why the goal didn’t count. I didn’t agree with him, but it was extremely helpful to have a know-it-all standing nearby.
