Hehe I noticed that, but I'm not sure if he was being self-deprecating or just using English poorly.

Me too. My guess is that he was being (as Spikey so eloquently put it) self-deprecating.
Or that his poor use of english is due to him being still drunk after Latvia qualified for Euro 2004

depreciate:
To decline in value, or to deliberately lower the value of something.
Self-depreciating means you take a chunk out of yourself in order to get laughs. Like Rodney Dangerfield. His picture's right beside the definition.

Self-deprecating is correct by the way.
I've never heard self-depreciating before, but it makes sense and would have the same meaning. Those funny things that happen on either side of the pond.
