Every single goal is important to the players, and the fans of the scoring team.
No reason not to celebrate.
It is part of the game.
Highlights of games do not exclude the celebration after a goal, they know people want to see it.
Personally I am not the celebratory type, but I recognize that for others it is important.
I believe 13-0 is FIFA record breaking, so something to celebrate seems warranted.
The coverage did include "running up the score", as a phrase being used. I considered it a terrible angle to look at it.
