ESPN analyst and NBA Insider Zach Lowe was one of the many following the ongoing FIFA World Cup, and his celebrations after Croatia’s upset win over Brazil saw him celebrate a bit too much on air.
The scrimmage between the two teams ended in a penalty shootout which Croatia won, and the 45-year-old decided to break open some tequila to celebrate the win— only that he did it while speaking on the latest episode of NBA Today.
This had fans sharing their two cents when they saw Lowe pull up his shot glass and chug down his drink. Here’s a look at the analyst celebrating the win in style.

Safe to say, his flex was taken in good taste by the fans.
NBA Fans React To Zach Lowe’s Epic Celebration After Croatia’s Win
Zach Lowe rooting for the underdogs was worth it. He was seen sporting their jersey on air, and with the penalty shootout, the contest came down to the wire, so the man could be excused for ripping a swig or two out of relief.
For fans, it was all about his celebrations. There’s no telling if the sports network will discipline him for drinking on air, but the ones who watched it were as happy as Lowe was. And given his reliable intel on everything NBA, this one could just be dismissed as a one-off.

One of the tweets suggested that Lowe was supporting Croatia as his wife was Croatian. Whether or not that’s the reason, there’s no doubt that he will be rooting for them to go the distance.
On the game front, the Croatian defense was just too stern for Brazil to crack, and while Neymar eventually netted one, Bruno Petkovic scored one in to equalize, sending the game into a shootout. Brazil missed the first shot, while their opponents held their nerve to get four of their shots in.
Up next, they face a tougher challenge in Argentina, and should they manage to send the likes of Messi home, expect Lowe to maybe wave a banner on air next.
