This paper discusses the linguistic features of the production of football commentary within its macrosocial contexts. It contrasts the communication of the TV production team during a football game with the live football commentary aired on TV. Applying a mixed methods analysis, it reveals how football commentary is prepared and produced in the technical setting of the commentator’s booth in a stadium. This study reveals how a medial reality of the same events concerning a goal are broadcasted in the 11 min highlight video football commentary. The author and her co-principal investigator video recorded a total of 36 h in four work settings. Finally, retrospective interviews with the commentator and head of sports of the TV station place the study in the broader social context of football as a media production. In this paper, I show how live football reporting is prepared and conducted using two different theoretical and methodological frameworks: Conversation Analysis (CA) and Multimodal (Inter)action Analysis (MMIA). Both provide insight into the synthetic verbal, non-verbal and parallel actions for the successful production of the football commentary and they also reveal the sequential structure of naturally occurring talk (CA).
