== Example ==
Given that you don't know Arabic.

<big>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0jCWkM15ag</big>

This was a soccer game and Bahrain participated in it. More clues:

# The display aspect ratio of the screen is wider than the display aspect ratio of the camera;
# The video was uploaded at Oct 17, 2009;
# The original Niconico video was deleted;
# The match was at evening or night;
# The final score is 2-2;
# The logo of the TV station is always there;
# At 0:49, it shows the time of the last goal: 93:41;
# At 0:05 ~ 1:19, it shows Arabic team names;
# At 1:19 ~ 1:20, it shows the referee;
# At 1:42 ~ 1:43, it shows the coach;
# At 1:46 ~ 1:55, it shows a big picture of the stadium.

The speaker was excited about the goal, so the TV station probably belongs to Bahrain. The logo of the channel “Bahrain Sports Channel” can be found at https://livetvcentral.com/country/bahrain.

There is a match ending with 2–2 for Bahrain national football team in 2009: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bahrain_national_football_team_results#2009.

In “2010 FWCQ”, the time matches the one in the video and the referee matches the one in the video.
