There are mistakes you can’t take back, and Gabriel Torres knows that better than anyone. 😬 The former Panamanian striker —known for his time with Liga Deportiva Alajuelense in Costa Rica— was playing a very different role from his days on the field: 2026 World Cup commentator for TV Max in Panama. Everything was going well until, right in the middle of analyzing the match between Canada and Bosnia and Herzegovina, something urgent caught his attention… from within.
Torres jumped up from his chair and left the set at full speed. Up to that point, nothing too unusual. The problem was what he forgot to do before leaving: turn off the microphone. 🎙️ What the production team —and then half the internet— ended up hearing was recorded for eternity.
The channel itself shared the video on social media, and the clip went viral within hours. His colleague Blas Pérez, another former Panamanian footballer, was also immortalized in the scene. Because if there’s one thing that unites all humanity, regardless of World Cups or television screens, it’s exactly this. 😂
