Snoop Dogg Learns From Andrés Cantor How to Call ‘¡Gooooooooooool!’ at Paris Olympics

Snoop Dogg has been everywhere during the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. And that now includes being in the booth with legendary soccer announcer Andrés Cantor, who taught the Long Beach rapper how to call a goal “¡Gooooooooooool!”

The “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper joined Cantor in the booth Saturday during halftime of the women’s quarterfinal match between Team USA and Japan. It marked Snoop Dogg’s first Olympics soccer match ever, and he was equally excited to meet Cantor, who is known for his trademark goal calls for Telemundo Deportes. Cantor’s famous call has even gotten the commercial treatment in hilarious bits for Geico and Pepsi.

After Snoop shared he’s a big fan of the announcer, Cantor responded by telling him he’ll teach him how to properly call a goal in the announcer’s booth. Snoop was excited about the lesson, to say the least. After pretending midfielder Lindsay Horan scored a goal, off they went:

“¡Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool!”

“Boy, you gotta hold that thing,” Snoop quipped right after. “He know how to hold that thing too long.”

After gifting him his own custom Team USA jersey, Cantor reminded Snoop that Telemundo Deportes has the rights to broadcast the World Cup in 2026, prompting Cantor to invite Snoop to join the network as his backup. Snoop not only happily obliged, but he also gave a shoutout — in Spanish! — to the Telemundo affiliate in Los Angeles.

By the way, forward Trinity Rodman scored the game winner in the 105th minute with a brilliant left-footed missile into the upper-left corner of the net to give Team USA a 1-0 win over Japan. The women’s team now moves on to Tuesday’s semifinal to face the winner of Germany-Canada. 

Hopefully Snoop will be there, too.

Snoop, of course, is a special correspondent for NBC’s coverage of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Ahead of the trip to Paris, Snoop told ET that the role is one of his life’s greatest accomplishments.

Then came an even bigger honor — carrying the Olympic flame on part of its final journey to the Opening Ceremony.
