  1. What you menthioned about "Spanish or Latin" soccer (football or futbol) commentators, is a part of the experiencie, we live every match as a party. And you will find MANY DIFFERENT WAYS a narrator refers to a goal. All them trying to set his own mark / stamp. Because, people, often wanted to listen a specific narrator. It started during 80s ….for example in Brazil, when a striker is closer to score, commentators uses a "pervios sentence" "Ripanayunipa", in Argentina "ta ta ta ta ….goal" (Victor Hugo Morales, the same guy who narrates de Mexico 86 goals during ARGENTINA Vs ENGLAND match). But there are many commentors, with many "lyrics" to describe a situation … more passionated than UK. Example: (Walter Nelson) "Cocodrilo que se duerme es cartera" (A Crocodile who falls asleep becomes into a wallet). Just to describe a GoalKepper who didnt react, or a defense who didnt react, or, even if a team ties a match during last minutes. Or phrases such as "Did you bring the bullets today?" (at the beggining of a game) referring to a bullet for eveery possible goal. Then, if a game ended with many goals, he says "Partido liquidado" (Sent off game or Game Done, or Ended game) …. "No me quedan mas cartuchos"…(No more bullets left) to refer to a ended match. for example at 80 minutes in a 4-0 score match.

  2. Hey Mark, Are you coming to watch Canada -Iran match in Vancouver? What do you think about it? Iranians bought all the tickets before even the site opened publicly. I assume no Canadian would be there in Canada to support their team. Isn't it amazing? It might be a Guinness record that visitor viewers are more than home viewers on one's soil.

  3. All ball – Back of the net – Ball-to-hand – Bicycle kick – Boot it – Box-to-box player – Brace – Chip shot – Class act – Clean sheet – Cleats – Clinical finish –
    Cracker – Dive – Dummy run – Feint / Flip Flap – First-time ball – Flick-on – Game of two halves – Hairdryer treatment – Hard man – Hoof –
    Hospital ball – Howler – Hug the line – In his/her pocket – Line-o – Lost the dressing room – Man on -Midfield anchor – Minnows –
    Nutmeg – Off the line -On paper – Park the bus – Play on – Pea roller – Poacher / Fox in the box

  4. Loved this lesson, Mark. Tks so much. Not to toot my own horn, but I authored a bilingual glossary (English-Portuguese-English) of soccer terms in 2013 in Brazil. It has more than 800 entries. I did include some of the idioms you taught in this video. I should've included "to sky it" though. Maybe in a second edition. I've been somewhat away from soccer over the past few years, but I was once a big fan of the game and loved listening to and watching games and soccer talk shows in English — that's how I collected a big chunk of the entries for my book. Keep bringing those soccer idioms on, buddy. Greatly appreciated.

  5. Mark, l am just a couch potato (in soccer/ football)…
    But, as you are canadian… Could you make a video in future about ice hockey in Canada?
    And why many canadians ptefer it than any other sport?
    Thank you.

  6. Hi Mark! Great lesson! "Before the fat lady sings" means "Before the end". The expression issued from the opera, that usually is going to end when at last time fat lady comes up on the stage and begins to sing.
    Keep going Mark! I would ask you to do more lessons about expressions used by natives working as a professionals in different areas and the terms and definitions used by them in their area of occupation (slang, collocations, jokes, and so on).
    Best regards!

  7. Now we're talking Mark! ๐Ÿ˜‰
    I hardly ever watch football, but when the Euro or World cup starts I jump on the bandwagon. I still remember the World cup Final against Spain in 2010. We had such an awesome team back then! Our go-to man was Arjen Robben. He was the striker and he was dangerously fast. He almost never failed to convert a penalty. Those were the days! โšฝ๐Ÿ˜Ž In order to win and beat the top teams they have to go for it.
    It's not in the bag yet. There's still a long way to go. Like you said it's not over till the fat lady sings ๐Ÿ˜ Have big fun watching the matches whoever wins! Yay! Woohoo! Can't wait for the next match! ๐Ÿ™Œ

  8. Apparently FIFA is having a serious financial problem now by failing to afford a competent football field for the World Cup Final that maybe one third of the entire population on planet Earth is watching.

  9. Hallรถchen, Mark!!!
    Just a very, very, very brief comment this time!!! The MANNSCHAFT โญโญโญโญ is playing against Hungary tonight!!!โšฝ๏ธโšฝ๏ธโšฝ๏ธ
    OF COURSE, I'M WATCHING THE EURO!!!
    Great idea to teach us these 12 cool soccer associated idioms!!!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
    Maybe you could explain the offside rules in English to us next time!!! That would be awesome!!!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
    Okay, you want me to imagine I was in the World Cup Finals and I had to score a penalty kick, otherwise my team is going to lose!!!๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ฑ
    Sure, I can well imagine that!!!
    Everything I have to do is to put the ball in the back of the net, eh???
    Nope, I musn't hit the crossbar or a post, nor sky the ball!!!โšฝ๏ธ
    I won't fail to convert the penalty!!!
    I will simply imagine that's my night, and I won't get substituted by our coach!!!
    Hopefully, there won't be a lot of pushing and shoving!!! It isn't worth the "scuffles"!!!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
    After having scored the goal, my team will have the game in the bag, right???
    When Mario Gรถtze scored the goal in the final in Brazil in 2014 the German commentator shouted out loud: "Mach ihn, mach ihn…..er macht ihn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" (Make it, make it….he made it!!!)๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
    I suppose, EVERYONE in Germany surely knows this exclamation and won't ever forget it!!!
    Even today, when I think of it, it still sends a pleasant shiver down my spine!!! Those were the days!!!โค
    I'm only a chouch potato when a World Cup, Euro Cup, Wimbledon (etc.) or the Four-Hill-Tournament is taking place!!!๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚
    BTW: Mark, always remember: "It isn't over until the fat lady sings"!!!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜
    No joke today!!!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‰
    If you feel like it , please keep your fingers crossed for the MANNSCHAFT!!!๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™
    Take care, my friend!!!๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ‘‘๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿค๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ

  10. Hey Mark!!Maybe because you have another one game called football that's why you call it soccer…I think it's American Football or something??What do you call the other football game??American football??Love from Grease!!!GR!!LOL!I remember that pun buddy!!

  11. Hi!
    Thank you for the soccer vocabulary, I love watching the soccer game.
    in the back of the net, crossbar, he skied it, he failed to convert, it hasn't been his night, his first appearance on the big stage, the commentator is calling the game, oh, it's gone in, the both teams keeped a clean sheet, last roll of the dice, back against the wall, gamble, 18-yard box, draw level = pull level = even the score, the team got this game in the bag, jump the gun, go-to man = the man who gets the goal, scuffles = pushing and shoving, couch potato, talking point, back and forth.
    stay safe and healthy too!
    Take care!
