i know that our mod loves football so i hope she enjoys this thread
this year i am watching mundial thanks to diario libre that links all matches through antena 7 en vivo. two commentators, avelino cuadra and damasco garcia are pretty good. i enjoy their narration of the game and info shared during slower times, so to speak: bio of the players, some history, few jokes.
i learnt the rules of football when i was still a kid and watched with my dad but all my vocabulary regarding this subject is in polish. it's the first time i watch and read about it in spanish so i thought i'd make this post to seal the new words and expressions in my memory and maybe help others to enjoy transmissions in dominican media.
let's go, then
football field - cancha de futbol
referee - arbitro
goalkeeper - portero or arquero
free kick - tiro libre
corner - tiro de esquina banco popular :laugh:
penalty - penalti
goal (the net) - porteria (i also heard "****" but i think this refers to the immediate area of the goalpost)
yellow card - tarjeta amarilla
red card - tarjeta roja
feel free to add, correct or comment.
ps GO CROATIA!
