The announcer sounds like a dunk Scotsman speaking almost English.

The guy who kicked it’s name is apparently Nawaf al-Abid or something close to that. The announcer starts out saying “and the game is starting… GOOOOOOALL! The fastest goal! The fastest goal! Nawaf al-Abid, Nawaf al-Abid! Played the ball straight into the goal, the fastest goal in the world!” Roughly.

[here’s a blog post](http://www.theoffside.com/asia/did-nawaf-al-abid-score-the-fastest-goal-in-football.html#comments) (read the comments) with some more info. Apparently it was a game in an under-23 tournament in Saudi Arabia.
