While watching soccer matches in Brazil, I quickly realized I had no idea how to comment on a game in Portuguese. There were so many moments when I wanted to yell at the TV along with everyone else, but I needed an entire Portuguese lesson just to keep up! I figured the same thing might be happening to you guys in English. In Episode 216, you’ll learn how to comment on soccer matches in English using natural vocabulary, expressions, and phrases. You’ll also hear about one of the biggest and best upsets in U.S. World Cup history. :) ⭐ Start improving your English today! ⁠⁠⁠Learn more about the Academy.⁠⁠⁠ ⭐ Take part in our Free ⁠⁠⁠14-Day English Slang and Expression Challenge.⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Hi, everybody.

  • My name is Shauna, and this is the American English Podcast.

  • My goal here is to teach you the English spoken in the United States.

  • Through common expressions, pronunciation tips,

  • and interesting cultural snippets or stories, I hope to keep this fun, useful, and interesting.

  • Let's do it.

  • Hi, everyone.

  • Welcome back.

  • As you guys know, if you listened to the last two episodes, I'm in Brazil watching the World Cup with Lucas's family.

  • And it's an event.

  • They have their horns out.

  • And every time there's a shot on goal, everyone jumps up and screams.

  • It's a big deal.

  • And at the same time, I don't feel fully in the room.

  • I'm in my head wondering what are the vocab words they use in Portuguese to describe that someone is offside.

  • Is it empejito?

  • I want to comment on what the calls are that the referee makes.

  • But the problem is yelling in a foreign language, in a second language,

  • third language, whatever, it takes confidence and also the right vocabulary, right?

  • I'm not going to yell if I'm not 100% sure that what I'm yelling is accurate.
