Soccer Frenzy, Soccer Mania, 'Genoun el kora'!!

Helloooooo....yes, yes..I'm a big football fan...I like the game and I'm following the World Cup games...fa mish fadyalkom!! Bas ma yimna3sh nidee shwayit vocab 3al football and some sports in general.

Ne shouf la3bit el kora 3obar 3an eh?

Well, first you have to have players that make up a team. (la3eba yakawinu ferka).
They play on a field (mal3ab). On the field there are two goals or goal posts and the goals consist of three bars (3awameed) and a net (shabaka). And the field is in the middle of the stadium (el stad).

Taba3an ma yinfa3sh teams min gheir fans (meshaga3een)...mal meen ha yishtim (curse) el referre (el hakem) wa el players??
Bas mish kol el fans lesanhom taweela. Fe fans hadyeen wa halween yeshaga3u ( cheer or root) el team beta3hom. (opa eh! opa ah! inshaAllah ha niksab...(eya kalam!! bas ma3 3alina).

I'm cheering for England....who are you cheering for?

Each team has 11 players including el marmar (goal keeper). Some teams are known for (ma3roufeen le...) their offense (hegoum) like Brazil. Other teams are more known for their defense (defa3) like Italy. (3ala a al kanu keda zaman).

The object of the game (el hadaf..mish hadaf be ma3na goal) is to score a goal (tigeeb goal). But you're not allowed to use your hands. You can only kick the ball (teshoot) or use your head. A goal with the head is called a header.

At the end of the match the referee blows his whistle (sofara). And the winner of the World Cup receives a trophy (el kas...we don't say receives a cup...mish fingal shay hena!)

The match has begun now...so I have to go...but you can get more vocabulary on these links:
