¿Football or Soccer? - 5 minutes of Spanish + Podcast
Hello,
how are you?
Good
morning, good afternoon or good evening depending on where you are or what time
you are listening to us.
Thank
you very much for being here participating in this podcast about Spanish, a
language that we love and that today summons us. I am Eduardo Satorno, Spanish
teacher at SpanishUp2U and manager of Unique Trips, your travel agency.
I am
Malena Algorta, Spanish teacher at Spanish in Cabo and at SpanishUp2U. If you
want to know more about your Spanish site click here and you will see all the podcasts,
videos and lessons we have for you, so you can write "listo" in your
goal to speak Spanish in 2022.
Many
Spanishup2U participants can say: listo, hecho; Hablo español. 
Hablo español
That's
right, congratulations! We are in 5 minutes of Spanish and this is episode number
126.
Welcome!
Thank you for listening week after week. This is a podcast to practice Spanish,
if you need the English version, click on artist Bruno Pegoretti's fantastic
chicken. And if you come to San Jose del Cabo, you have to, of course, visit
him in the Art District.
And
his beautiful wife Jill, who is his inspiration and painter, too.
And
chat in Spanish with them, too. But, let's get down to business!
Of
course, we are! Today we'll talk about the topics of the moment, first,
congratulating American listeners on Thanksgiving Day. What is Thanksgiving
Day?
Thanksgiving.
So, the theme is the verb to be thankful, that is, to give thanks.
NO,
this was last year's. Today we will talk about a sport that has 32 countries,
many of them Spanish-speaking, very excited.
Are
you going to comment on soccer? They will block us...
Only
in general, because soccer, which in the USA is called soccer, is of English
origin, in other words, all the terms are anglicisms, there are words in
Spanish, which sometimes are not used.
Off side fuera de juego
Corner tiro de esquina
Gol gol
Golazo un gol muy bueno
Gol olímpico gol directo desde el tiro o
saque de esquina
Soccer field cancha
Ball - balón, pelota o esférico
Referi – juez
Coach- entrenador
And
some verbs?
Let's
tell them with examples:
England
beat Iran 6-2.
Argentina
lost 2 to 1 against Saudi Arabia.
The
United States drew against Wales 1 to 1.
Mexico
also tied 0 to 0 with Poland but Memo Ochoa, the Mexican goalkeeper, saved a
penalty.
We all
applauded him a lot. Clap clap clap
To
save or stop the ball is to avoid a goal.
But,
we can also talk about the geography of soccer,
What
is that like?
My dad
always asked me for information about the countries participating in the World
Cup. I studied a lot and that's how I learned some geography.
You
had to look in encyclopedias and books?
Yes,
there was no Google... Let's play: Gales in English is called...
Wales
and its capital is...?
Cardif,
it is a very old city, from the 1st century AD.
The
venue of the World Cup?
Qatar,
which in English is spelled with a C, capital: Doha. Population?
2,641,669
inhabitants.
