You're listening to the Footglitch Podcast.

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:05,600
Love football, learn English.

3
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
How many shots on goal did the Scottish have in their opening game against the hosts from Germany?

4
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Did the holders manage to beat Albania despite a shocking start to the game?

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,400
How did the Poles do against the Dutch?

6
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:30,400
And what do you know about the word performance?

7
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,800
Hello Footglitchers, the listeners of the Footglitch Podcast.

8
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,800
Welcome to another episode.

9
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:54,000
My name is Denik Lucas and I'm an English teacher.

10
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,000
And this is my podcast about football.

11
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,800
I hope you like the podcast by the way.

12
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:01,800
It's new. It's still a bit rough around the edges.

13
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:06,000
Yeah, I still need to find the right way to do it.

14
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,200
Some of the episodes are interviews.

15
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:11,400
Some of them I'm recording solo like this one.

16
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:17,000
And obviously when you start with a new project like this with a new podcast,

17
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,400
it's absolutely crucial that you get some feedback immediately.

18
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:25,000
So I need you guys to tell me what you think if you like this.

19
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:31,600
And you know, obviously if I see that people keep listening because I can see the numbers.

20
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,400
Yeah, I can see the number of plays and downloads in my analytics.

21
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:42,000
If I see that people like it, well, it will motivate me to keep producing more episodes for you.

22
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,600
Anyway, the European Championship 2024 in Germany is in full swing.

23
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,800
And we have already had five matches.

24
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,000
We have seen some nice goals, some excellent performances,

25
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,600
some individual and team performances that are worth mentioning.

26
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,800
Some less good performances as well.

27
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,400
But what I would say is that we haven't seen many upsets yet.

28
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,000
Yeah, not any surprises at all in my opinion.

29
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:15,600
And we are still yet to see at least one surprise.

30
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:21,000
We have also had an incident, unfortunately, that happened today in Hamburg.

31
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,800
A maniac with an axe and pickaxe wielding maniac.

32
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:31,000
He also had a Molotov cocktail on him, apparently was shot by the German police

33
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:35,800
because he had threatened the fans apparently.

34
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,800
That happened at a fan parade.

35
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:44,600
So I have to say that I wish we didn't have to hear about stories like that.

36
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,400
And hopefully, hopefully we will not anymore.

37
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:53,400
And it's good that the German police managed to deal with this so quickly and effectively.

38
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:56,400
I'm actually pretty glad about that.

39
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,600
But we are here to talk about football, of course.

40
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:03,200
So let me give you my thoughts on those five matches.

41
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:08,600
I did not see them all, but those matches that I did not see, I saw the highlights.

42
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:14,200
So the first match of the tournament, the opening game was Germany against Scotland.

43
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:20,400
And well, it was kind of written in stars what would happen in this game.

44
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:27,400
The Germans, they were really excited about the tournament starting and they absolutely thrashed the Scots.

45
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Not a chance for the Scottish.

46
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,000
When I say not a chance, they actually did not have a single shot on goal.

47
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
Yeah, they did manage to score a goal.

48
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,800
It was a consolation goal.

49
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:45,400
It was Anthony Rudiger who actually put the goal into his own net.

50
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,000
So the Scottish didn't even have a shot on goal.

51
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:53,200
Like I said, Germans looked like a well-oiled machine.

52
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,600
Are you really surprised?

53
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,000
I'm not, to be honest.

54
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Some excellent performances from the Germans.

55
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,600
It was a great team performance as well.

56
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,400
Florian Wirth, the German wonder kid who plays for Bayer Leverkusen,

57
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:11,400
scored the opener that happened pretty quickly.

58
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:17,800
Was it like 10th or 11th minute or something along those lines that took the pressure of the Germans?

59
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,400
And they absolutely dominated the pitch.

60
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:26,400
Then at the end of the first half, a Scottish player was sent off.

61
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,200
So that made things even worse for the Scots.

62
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:36,200
They were down to 10 men and paradoxically, they played much better in the second half.

63
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:40,000
Yeah, because I think half time it was 3-0.

64
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:44,100
And then in the second half, like I said, they scored a goal.

65
00:04:44,100 --> 00:04:48,400
And for a long time, the Germans couldn't score the fifth goal.

66
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:52,400
So it looked like that half was going to end 1-1 actually.

67
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,900
But in the end, 5-1.

68
00:04:54,900 --> 00:05:00,800
Yeah, I was a bit disappointed by what the Scottish players showed.

69
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,100
I don't think it was brave at all.

70
00:05:03,100 --> 00:05:09,300
And we remember them beating Spain in their qualification group.

71
00:05:09,300 --> 00:05:13,500
They are the reason why we don't see Erling Haaland,

72
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:18,000
because Scotland finished above Norway in their qualification group.

73
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:24,300
So considering all this, this was disappointing by Scotland.

74
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:29,300
But, you know, what I will say, another thing I will say is that such a heavy defeat

75
00:05:29,300 --> 00:05:33,500
is a massive blow to Scottish chances of progressing from their group.

76
00:05:33,500 --> 00:05:39,900
Because if you have to lose in this system, you better not lose by a large margin.

77
00:05:39,900 --> 00:05:44,400
Because now the Scottish kind of have to win both their games really.

78
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:47,700
So it's not an easy position to be in.

79
00:05:47,700 --> 00:05:50,400
The next game was on Saturday.

80
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,500
Hungary got beaten by Switzerland 1-3.

81
00:05:54,500 --> 00:05:58,000
And it seemed like a comfortable win for the Swiss.

82
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:06,300
I did watch this one and I like the headline that I saw in the Czech media after the game

83
00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:12,300
saying that the Hungarians had goulash in their defense.

84
00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:16,700
Goulash is a national dish of Hungarians, I believe.

85
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:19,900
And well, basically this is making fun of that a little bit.

86
00:06:19,900 --> 00:06:24,900
But also in the Czech language, when we say there's goulash, it means chaos.

87
00:06:24,900 --> 00:06:27,800
So yeah, it was a little bit like that.

88
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:33,300
The Swiss were better organized and they absolutely deserved this win.

89
00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:41,100
Then later on, Croatia-Spain, that seemed like a really game that people would look

90
00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:42,900
forward to, right?

91
00:06:42,900 --> 00:06:48,000
Both teams tend to do really well in the tournaments.

92
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:55,200
And well, I would say it delivered to a point, although Croatia didn't score a goal in this

93
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:58,100
game, which was slightly disappointing.

94
00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:00,500
Spain won it 3-0.

95
00:07:00,500 --> 00:07:03,800
I did not watch this game, so I only saw the highlights.

96
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:10,700
But the takeaways from this game, one of the takeaways was Jamal.

97
00:07:10,700 --> 00:07:14,100
Jamal is a 16-year-old player playing for Spain.

98
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:17,500
He became the youngest player to set up a goal.

99
00:07:17,500 --> 00:07:23,600
It was that third goal scored by Dani Carvajal, a Real Madrid player.

100
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:33,200
And Jamal, honestly, 16 years of age playing at such a high-profile tournament, this kid

101
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:34,800
is amazing.

102
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:38,020
And he has a bright future ahead of him.

103
00:07:38,020 --> 00:07:44,960
And his assist was an excellent cross, really a well-bent cross into the six-yard box.

104
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,700
An excellent moment for the youngster.

105
00:07:47,700 --> 00:07:53,200
And then there was, yeah, I should mention that Morata, I believe, scored the first goal.

106
00:07:53,200 --> 00:08:00,800
Alvaro Morata, the Atletico Madrid player, who often is criticized by the media in Spain,

107
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,800
but he keeps scoring goals.

108
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:08,700
So if you score goals, you know, I think you justify your position in the team.

109
00:08:08,700 --> 00:08:15,700
Then when it was 3-0, there was a controversial moment that had to be dealt with by VAR.

110
00:08:15,700 --> 00:08:20,240
Basically, there was a mistake by the Spanish goalkeeper.

111
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,680
And Petkovic was fouled by Rodri.

112
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:28,880
And it looks like it might have been a red, but Rodri was only showed a yellow card for

113
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:29,880
that.

114
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:33,440
I later watched an Instagram post by a referee.

115
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,640
I follow one referee who explains these moments.

116
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,700
And that referee was saying that it's fine.

117
00:08:39,700 --> 00:08:41,280
This is fine as a yellow.

118
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:42,920
I don't think I understand it enough.

119
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:44,400
For me, it was a clear red.

120
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:52,600
But anyway, the referee Mark Oliver pointed to the penalty point and then Petkovic himself

121
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,400
took the penalty, but he missed it.

122
00:08:56,400 --> 00:08:58,800
Then it came back to him.

123
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,160
It bounced back to him and he scored.

124
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:04,060
But this goal was disallowed by VAR.

125
00:09:04,060 --> 00:09:07,040
And that's because there was apparently encroachment.

126
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:10,360
I thought it was actually quite harsh, this on the Croatians.

127
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:15,400
Encroachment, by the way, if you don't know what encroachment is, is basically when the

128
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:21,880
players run into the box before the penalty taker even touches the ball.

129
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:25,240
And apparently the Croatians, it was shown by VAR.

130
00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,900
It was really just by a small margin.

131
00:09:28,900 --> 00:09:32,520
So it's surprising that this goal was chalked off.

132
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,180
But it is what it is.

133
00:09:34,180 --> 00:09:36,680
I believe the Spanish deserve their win.

134
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:42,780
Even though if you look at the stats, based on the stats, it looked like an even game.

135
00:09:42,780 --> 00:09:45,080
But I think the Spanish had the game under control.

136
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:50,320
I didn't watch it, as I said, but I think when you have a comfortable lead, this is

137
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:51,320
often what happens.

138
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:58,400
So basically the Spanish saw the game out in a comfortable way, I think.

139
00:09:58,400 --> 00:09:59,400
Right.

140
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,480
Then there was a game, Italy, Albania, a very interesting game.

141
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:06,240
Albania, I have to mention this, won their qualification group.

142
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,400
They finished above the Czechs.

143
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:16,280
So we remember Albanians and we got only one point from our two games against Albania,

144
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:17,280
I believe.

145
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,320
So very tough opponent.

146
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:21,600
They are a small country, a small nation.

147
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,920
But I have to tell you something.

148
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,200
They have some excellent players playing in the Serie A.

149
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,520
And in this game against Italy, they were not given many chances.

150
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:38,560
I think it was the fact that they had these experienced players playing in Serie A.

151
00:10:38,560 --> 00:10:42,760
I think it gave them at least some hope in that game.

152
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:49,000
And the way the game started, I don't think anybody expected really, because Italy had

153
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:59,000
basically, Italy had a throw-in and it was in their own half.

154
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:05,600
I don't know who it was, but a player threw the ball towards their own goal.

155
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:11,200
It looked like a comfortable position, but the defender did not control the ball at all.

156
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:13,080
He actually hesitated.

157
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:18,360
And then an Albanian player, I can't remember the name, but he took advantage of that and

158
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:20,020
scored a brilliant goal.

159
00:11:20,020 --> 00:11:26,480
And it was also the fastest goal, I believe, of all time of the Euros in history.

160
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:28,080
It was really quick goal.

161
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:32,680
Something like 20, 23 seconds, something like that.

162
00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:38,440
So 1-0 for Albania, but Italy equalized pretty fast.

163
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,480
It was in the 11th minute and then they took the lead in the 16th minute.

164
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,200
And they did deserve to win overall.

165
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:53,360
It wasn't an impressive performance by the Italians, but they know what they were doing.

166
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,580
And what I will say is here for me, that's the difference.

167
00:11:56,580 --> 00:12:03,960
If Albania lost by only one goal, that gives them a decent chance to still qualify.

168
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:10,280
Because compared to Scotland, their score will not be so bad.

169
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:17,720
So I think Albania still haven't said their last word in this tournament.

170
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,880
Then I saw the game Poland, the Netherlands.

171
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:24,580
And Poland started off really well.

172
00:12:24,580 --> 00:12:27,440
They scored a good goal from corner.

173
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:34,120
Adam Buksa's header, but the Dutch equalized with a deflected shot.

174
00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,400
It was Cody Gappo.

175
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:44,360
And basically he was the player that got into a lot of promising opportunities in that game.

176
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,440
And he missed a lot of chances, I would say.

177
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,300
Some of them were real sitters.

178
00:12:48,300 --> 00:12:50,600
The Dutch had so many chances in this game.

179
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,160
They were the better side, in my opinion.

180
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,280
They had more possession as expected.

181
00:12:56,280 --> 00:13:02,840
But I would also add that Poland didn't play badly at all, because it was expected, right?

182
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:05,920
Poland obviously knew what they had to do.

183
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,400
And they played good counter-attacking football.

184
00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:14,020
And they put on a heroic defensive display, in my opinion.

185
00:13:14,020 --> 00:13:16,920
Some of their defenders played incredibly well.

186
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:21,140
And their keeper as well, Bojtjes Chasny, of course.

187
00:13:21,140 --> 00:13:24,240
And they had a few chances as well.

188
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:29,560
They could have really won this game, or at least they could have equalized or something.

189
00:13:29,560 --> 00:13:33,440
But in the end, it was that guy again, Kurt Weghorst.

190
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:37,400
He had scored that amazing goal in the World Cup against Argentina.

191
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,200
Remember, was it the semis?

192
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:44,260
I think it was the semis in Qatar in the 110th minute.

193
00:13:44,260 --> 00:13:52,600
And this super sub delivered again, two minutes after he was brought on by the Dutch manager

194
00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:54,440
Ronald Koeman.

195
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:56,320
He scored the winner.

196
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:01,560
It was about 10 minutes till the end of the game, I think.

197
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:04,120
And yeah, great three points.

198
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,720
Great three points for the Netherlands.

199
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:08,720
Not so good for Poland, I think.

200
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:12,640
Again, they only lost by one goal, so it's not the worst.

201
00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:17,080
But the problem is that their next opponents are France and Austria.

202
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,400
So it will be a bit hard against France.

203
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:22,400
We never really know.

204
00:14:22,400 --> 00:14:23,400
It's football.

205
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,080
I'm just saying Poland are in a tough, tough group.

206
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,220
But I think overall this was a good match.

207
00:14:29,220 --> 00:14:35,160
This was an interesting match full of great performances and enjoyable to watch for sure.

208
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:39,000
Yeah, and one more thing I would like to mention.

209
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:48,340
There's a story doing rounds now because of a chant, a chant made by the English fans.

210
00:14:48,340 --> 00:14:54,560
It's some sort of children's song that the English fans sing to provoke the Germans.

211
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:58,440
It's like they are mocking them because it's something to do with the Second World War,

212
00:14:58,440 --> 00:14:59,440
basically.

213
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,840
The song is about 10 German bombers.

214
00:15:02,840 --> 00:15:08,720
And that basically makes fun of the German casualties in the Second World War.

215
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:15,660
Now while I understand why something like this is part of the UK's folklore, because

216
00:15:15,660 --> 00:15:23,320
the war really happened and what Germans did was terrible and they deserved that.

217
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,000
And of course you want to celebrate your heroes in the war.

218
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:32,000
But what I will say is that now it seems really unnecessary.

219
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,080
But you know, this is the English humor.

220
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:35,560
Sometimes they just take the piss.

221
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:39,760
Unfortunately though, this is a very sensitive topic in Germany.

222
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,620
And UEFA has warned England that their fans might have their tickets confiscated if they

223
00:15:45,620 --> 00:15:47,800
carry on in this fashion.

224
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,560
So watch this space.

225
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:56,520
Hopefully the English fans won't keep singing this, but I doubt anything will change really.

226
00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:02,160
But either way, this is something I wanted to mention.

227
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:09,360
Okay, as an English teacher, I have to live up to the expectations and actually teach

228
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:10,960
you something here.

229
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,560
So let's take a look at the word performance.

230
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,760
I have heard many people mispronounce this word.

231
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:22,280
First of all, be careful about the stress placement.

232
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:25,640
The second syllable is stressed in this word.

233
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,840
So it's not performance.

234
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,840
It's performance.

235
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,840
Performance.

236
00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,920
The form is stressed.

237
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:37,240
So pronounce it with more strength and prominence.

238
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:43,000
And what we should talk about here is also the collocations, the words that are used

239
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,640
before this word performance.

240
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,360
So let's talk about the verbs first.

241
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:54,680
I think the most common verb is give probably, to give a performance, to give a good performance.

242
00:16:54,680 --> 00:17:01,560
But if you want to sound more fancy, you could go for one of those two phraser verbs, either

243
00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:06,720
put in or put on, to put in a good performance, to put on a good performance.

244
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:10,100
I think I used it in this episode, for example.

245
00:17:10,100 --> 00:17:15,900
But if you want to use a more formal word, then you can use the verb to produce or deliver

246
00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:23,160
or display, yeah, to produce a good performance, to deliver an excellent performance, to display

247
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:24,880
a poor performance.

248
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,300
Speaking of the adjectives you could use here.

249
00:17:28,300 --> 00:17:35,880
So if you want to praise the team, you can say they put in an excellent or great or impressive

250
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,960
or outstanding or even stellar performance, right?

251
00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:48,560
If you want to sound less strong, then you can say good, decent, to put in a decent,

252
00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:50,120
solid performance.

253
00:17:50,120 --> 00:17:51,400
OK?

254
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:59,700
If you want to be more negative, then you can say the team have given a poor or disappointing

255
00:17:59,700 --> 00:18:03,000
or lackluster performance.

256
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:06,800
And then you could also use words like dominant or memorable.

257
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:11,320
Obviously, there is a lot of freedom there, a lot of flexibility as well.

258
00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:17,460
OK, if you want to avoid using the word performance, which by the way is a countable noun, yeah,

259
00:18:17,460 --> 00:18:22,640
one performance, two performances, if you want to avoid using the noun, then you can

260
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,600
use this word as a verb to perform.

261
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:33,320
The team performed really well, the team performed poorly, the team performed badly.

262
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,920
And if you want to avoid the word perform completely, then you can say the team played

263
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:41,760
well or they did really well or badly.

264
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:44,360
OK, that's it for today.
