Simply crowd noise.
Had a similar problem with broadcast sports at our house.
TV sound goes through Yamaha receiver, then external speakers.
If your setup is similar, change the output back to just the TV.
I suppose someone watching could type GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!! but I suspect it’s not the same. Is the spanish feed working if you can get that?
Yet in our nation, with 4% of the population, we'll fill multiple of 100K seat stadiums every football Saturday. How many? However many of those 8 teams have a home game that day. I'm sure by chance on some Saturdays it's just 2 or 3 happen to have a home game, but then on other Saturdays it's probably 6 or even 7. On any given Saturday, however many of those 8 teams are playing at home, their stadium sells out. A nation with 4% of the world's population has enough college football fans to regularly fills up that many stadiums, but the entire rest of the world has only enough soccer fans to fill up 3 stadiums that size. And this Bama fan is supposed to believe that they take their soccer seriously? LOL
Some setting must have changed on the tv that has no p-b-p audio.
If I can figure out what the setting is to mute the audio of the p-b-p announcers, I’ll use it when they have some screeching female doing the p-b-p.
Years ago we’d watch football with the tv sound muted and we’d listen to the radio play by play team.
True but years ago if you looked up largest stadium in the world in the Guinness Book of World Records you got the Maracana in Brazil which had a regular capacity of around 150k but it’s max crowd once topped 200k and no stadium in the US is that large. It was however greatly reduced in capacity and is now below 100k I think. I also recall that some stadiums designed for mass displays in communist countries if you counted the participants on the field can exceed those numbers. It’s an apples and oranges comparison but for permanent seating the Indianapolis Motor Speedway has something in the range of a quarter of a million.
I wonder if the college stadiums that can hold 100,000 fans do not have all of the luxurious sky boxes and amenities that an NFL stadium has. Perhaps whoever the bigs are in the soccer world prefer the luxury.
C’mon man!

That's probably it right there. And you're correct. When I went to Jerry's Field (NFL / Dallas Cowboys) a decade ago to watch a neutral site college season opener between Bama and USC, I was amazed at how much smaller it was (I think 70K compared to Bama's at 100K), but had much better amenities even for the plebes and way more sky boxes for the higher dollar tickets.
I once won a local contest to see a regular season game in a suite with all one can eat and drink served to you by staff and that indeed does spoil you. Nice seats and tvs help as well.
No es que haya nada de malo en eso.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that
Half Time.....France 0 Morocco 0
Mbappé with one of the worst penalty kicks I’ve ever seen, even I could have saved that.
Go Morocco!
Why? Just curious.
Because I want them to win...
ESPN commentary
We’re goalless at Boston Stadium, where Morocco are holding France at half-time. Les Bleus have generated the greater attacking threat throughout the first half, with a 1.87 xG from 13 attempts on goal. The best of these came when Mazraoui brought down Mbappe to concede a penalty in the 25th minute. However, following a lengthy delay, the France skipper’s tame spot-kick was easily gathered by Bounou. Digne struck the crossbar from distance later on, but Morocco have continued to stand firm. The Atlas Lions have actually shaded the possession (51%), but their 0.05 xG epitomises the need to improve at the other end of the field after the break.
I think I could’ve saved that one, too!
France 2 Morocco 0 with just a couple of minutes and stoppage time left.
