What does the “Second poteau Pavaaaard” meme mean?
The line celebrates a successful attempt by commentating it like a decisive goal. People yell it over anything that goes in: an unlikely basket, a crumpled paper landing in the bin, a coin falling the right way up. Its engine is the commentator’s build-up, announcing the trajectory before naming the scorer, then stretching that name to breaking point. The meme travels as sound more than image: hearing the last held syllable is enough for the reference to land, even for someone who no longer remembers the match.
Where does the “Second poteau Pavaaaard” meme come from?
On 30 June 2018, in the World Cup round of 16, France met Argentina and trailed 2-1. Benjamin Pavard, the right-back, met a ball on the volley from the right of the box and sent it to the back post: 2-2. On TF1 the commentary was handled by Grégoire Margotton alongside Bixente Lizarazu; his reaction, “second poteau Pavaaaaard!”, became the goal’s unofficial soundtrack. France won the match 4-3 and then the tournament, which planted the sequence in reruns, title montages and anniversary compilations. L’Équipe has since revisited the making of the move, and the goal appears in most retrospectives devoted to that World Cup.
