Singer 'Cantante del Gol' confronts Eduardo Luis, stating, "He needs to exhibit sincerity"
In the world of Colombian sports journalism, a heated controversy has arisen, pitting two of the country's most iconic voices against each other. The controversy, which erupted on September 2, 2025, centres around a popular phrase used in sports narration, particularly during penalty shootouts: "Prepare, aim, fire."
Javier Fernández Franco, also known as "Singer of the Goal," has claimed that the phrase was first coined by Jorge Eliecer Campuzano as early as 1977. However, Campuzano, who is not a sports journalist mentioned in the earlier bullet points, has not been credited for the phrase's creation.
During an interview on the Impresentables program on Los 40 Principales, Fernández Franco did not mention Eduardo Luis López, nicknamed "Toxirrelator," directly. However, he indirectly suggested that López may have used a characteristic expression of another narrator without giving proper credit.
López has not publicly responded to these allegations, but the tension between the two journalists has reached an intense level. In a phone call, Campuzano reportedly spoke to Fernández Franco almost in tears, expressing his frustration over the lack of credit for the phrase.
Despite Campuzano's testimony, Fernández Franco maintains that he is the rightful owner of the phrase. The controversy has not been publicly resolved as of the date of this news article.
It's worth noting that the phrase "aim, fire" is currently being used in sports narration, and its popularity has only grown over the years. The controversy has sparked discussions about the importance of giving credit where credit is due in the world of sports journalism.
The rivalry between Fernández Franco and López is not a new development. Both have been competing for the top spot in Colombian sports journalism for years. However, this latest controversy has taken their rivalry to a new level.
As of now, no new sports events or competitions have been mentioned in relation to this controversy. The sports community is closely watching to see how this situation unfolds.
In conclusion, the controversy over the authorship of the phrase "aim, fire" in Colombian sports narration has caused a stir in the world of sports journalism. Both Javier Fernández Franco and Jorge Eliecer Campuzano have strong claims, and the controversy has sparked discussions about the importance of giving credit for unique expressions in journalism. The controversy remains unresolved, and it will be interesting to see how it develops in the coming days.
