1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 You're listening to the Footglitch Podcast. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,000 Love football, learn English. 3 00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Who is to blame for the bizarre own goal the Turkish team conceded against Portugal? 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:20,000 How are the Turks most likely to play in the game against the Czech Republic? 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000 What could be a good strategy for the Czechs in this game? 6 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:30,000 And what does the word screamer mean? 7 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000 Hello, welcome back to the Footglitch Podcast, an English learning podcast about football. 8 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000 And we are discussing Euro 2024. 9 00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000 And there's one game left in the group stage. 10 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,000 Only one game left, would you believe it? 11 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000 Next Wednesday, my team, Czechia, faces Turkey. 12 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000 So this time I've decided to invite a Turkish fan. 13 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:13,000 And he also is my former student, in fact. 14 00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,000 His name is Boran. Hi Boran, welcome to the Footglitch Podcast. 15 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:18,000 How are you? 16 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,000 Hi Zdeněk, I'm good. How about you? 17 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:29,000 I'm great. It's a great chance to have you here on this podcast because I always wanted to have a Turkish fan on it. 18 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000 Since we are in the same group, the Czech Republic and Turkey. 19 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,000 Yeah, thanks for the invite as well. It's good to be here. 20 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000 And I want to talk about the games as well. 21 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000 Yeah, yeah, perfect. 22 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:48,000 So the next game is Turkey, Czech Republic, or is it Turkey, yeah, Czech Republic. 23 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,000 Which one is it? 24 00:01:51,000 --> 00:02:03,000 I mean, we can say that it's pretty much the same thing, but the country's name just had gone under rebranding, let's say. 25 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:10,000 So there's no significant difference between one or the other. 26 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:20,000 It always used to be Turkey. But now these days I see even in international football in the English language, they use Turkey. 27 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000 Just like the Czech Republic has been replaced with Czechia. 28 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:29,000 So it seems like this is a trend and more countries are going through this. 29 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:39,000 Yeah, maybe they chose it because of like to seem a bit more authentic, let's say, instead of just using the English one equivalent. 30 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000 OK, but a more important question is, are you following the Euros? 31 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000 Yeah, I'm following it as a football fan. 32 00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000 Of course, I know you are a football fan. You are actually currently based in Torino. 33 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000 That's where you're studying at university, right? 34 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:01,000 Yeah, right. And if you know Torino, you must have heard about Juventus. 35 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000 I must have heard about what? 36 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Juventus. 37 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000 No, never heard of Juventus. 38 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:07,000 No? 39 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000 No, no, no. No, obviously. 40 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000 Yeah, that's a that's a of course well known team. 41 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000 And of course, you're watching the Turkish games and any other games you've seen? 42 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,000 Pretty much all of it. 43 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:28,000 Who does it remind me of? 44 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,000 I guess myself. 45 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:36,000 All right. So Boran, your last game was against Portugal, which you lost 3-0. 46 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:44,000 Which is a bit of a letdown after the three points from your opening game against Georgia, where you beat them 3-1. 47 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,000 Now Portugal was obviously a tougher, tougher opponent. 48 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000 So how did you see this game? 49 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:54,000 I mean, the first game was great in all terms. 50 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:00,000 Like we started well, even though we conceded one, we just bounced back well and won the game. 51 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000 But in the Portugal game, they were clearly better than us. 52 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000 So we can relate to that as well. 53 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:15,000 The Czech Republic, you know, we were only beaten 2-1, but we thoroughly deserved to lose that game. 54 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000 So, yeah, they are a different animal. 55 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:25,000 The Portuguese, I think, clearly, especially like there are some talent from Italy as well. 56 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000 I'm playing in that Portuguese team. 57 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 If you know Rafael Leo, he's a good winger. 58 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:38,000 Like in his day, he can smash everybody going down from that wing. 59 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000 Yeah, it's overall the team is just so well balanced. 60 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:49,000 And it's everybody just mentions Cristiano Ronaldo, but he must be he might be the weakest link there even. 61 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000 You know, we have so many good players there. 62 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,000 But anyway, 3-0. 63 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,000 I have to tell you, I have to admit that I did not see the game. 64 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:06,000 And that's because the Czech Republic, Georgia game, which, of course, you can imagine was more important for me, preceded your game. 65 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:10,000 And after that, how to put it, I had to recover. 66 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000 I had to recover because that was very nail biting. 67 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:19,000 And I almost had a heart attack at the end of the game where we almost lost it. 68 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:23,000 So I had to have a few beers and I had to recover from that. 69 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,000 So I didn't see what exactly happened. 70 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:33,000 But then I watched the highlights and you have to explain to me what happened with that second goal that Portugal scored. 71 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:37,000 Oh, wait a minute. Was it that you scored? 72 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:44,000 Clearly. I mean, if you're passing the ball to your keeper, you should look at the goal. 73 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000 That's basics. 74 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000 And I think the reason is like since our coach, he changes the first 11 so frequently. 75 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:56,000 You lost the chemistry between the players. 76 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:59,000 That might be a huge reason for that own goal. 77 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Yeah, but that own goal, that was like a circus move. 78 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000 I don't know how to describe it. 79 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:12,000 It's one of those that you would put on YouTube and it would get millions of views and it would go viral because it was just so comical. 80 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:18,000 So basically your defender had as much time as he could imagine. 81 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:26,000 Like there was no one around and he was passing it back to your keeper. Can you give me the names? 82 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:35,000 The defenders, Samet and the keeper is Altay, who is a keeper of Manchester United as well. 83 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:40,000 Right, right. So it was like I thought it was quite a decent pass. 84 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000 Like you're right that probably shouldn't be directed at the goal. 85 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:47,000 But still, I thought it was quite slow. The ball was quite slow. 86 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:52,000 But the keeper wasn't just there. It wasn't in the path of that pass at all. 87 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:55,000 And then somehow it was going to the goal. 88 00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:02,000 And then the second part of this was that both the defender and the goalkeeper were trying to chase the ball. 89 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000 And there was like a sliding attempt, last second clearance attempt, which failed. 90 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,000 And the ball went past the goal line and must have been a sucker punch for you. 91 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:21,000 Yeah, up to that point, I mean, we were watching the game with my friends up to that second goal. 92 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:27,000 It was OK, because like if he comes from Portuguese, it's OK up to certain point. 93 00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:33,000 But when you can see it's such a goal, such a long goal, let's say it's bad. 94 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:40,000 Yeah. Do you think it could have some sort of impact on your team, on particularly these players, 95 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:48,000 but also on the confidence of the whole team? Or do you think they will shake it off quickly? 96 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:55,000 For the next game? Yeah, I believe that we will shake it off. 97 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,000 Because I mean, in this group, the Portuguese side is the best team. 98 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:07,000 So like far away from the other three. So I don't know. 99 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,000 So since the defender who considered the own goal won't be playing in the next game as well, 100 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,000 I think it will just be OK to a certain degree. I see. 101 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000 Well, there are so many goals, so many own goals at this tournament, by the way. 102 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:31,000 They have they have been showing this meme with like statistics of who the top top goal scorers of the tournament are so far. 103 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:43,000 And the person at the top is his name is own goal, followed by Lukaku's three disallowed goals by VAR. 104 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:47,000 And then there are some players who scored two goals. 105 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:55,000 Yeah, so we have got center defender who also scored an own goal and he was responsible for a penalty. 106 00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:02,000 So he is he has got a bit of bad luck, too. His name is Robin Hranac. He's a very young, young player. 107 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:07,000 He's playing quite well, but he's been very unlucky so far. 108 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:17,000 So what else can I ask you about? I suppose the third goal was interesting as well, because Cristiano Ronaldo went on the goalkeeper. 109 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000 It was just Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno Fernandes to his left. 110 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:29,000 And everybody expected Ronaldo to to to shoot. But for some reason, he decided to pass the ball. 111 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:35,000 What did you think of that? At first, I thought, oh, he was going to score. 112 00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,000 It's himself. But then he passed the ball. 113 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:44,000 So I think it was a kind of a reasonable choice because Fernandes, he was. 114 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:50,000 Available by so far, and there was no pressure on him whatsoever. 115 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,000 I agree. I totally agree. 116 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000 I'm just I'm just surprised it happened because we all expect Ronaldo to be a little bit selfish as well, 117 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,000 like because he's chasing all his records and all that. 118 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:07,000 And he seems to be playing for the team, actually. 119 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:14,000 I think he thinks about he thinks about winning the Cup instead of just scoring goals this time. 120 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000 Yeah, I think that's a good sign. 121 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:22,000 That's a good sign for the Portuguese team. They might win it if this is what's happening there. 122 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:28,000 You know, because we always think, oh, Ronaldo, like what happened that united with him, right? 123 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:33,000 Oh, he's going to just disrupt the balance in the team and everything has to be about him. 124 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:38,000 But maybe not this time. Maybe he's a team player. 125 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:42,000 I mean, it's up to him because he's the oldest one, I guess. 126 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:47,000 And that's good. Or let's say the most experienced one. 127 00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:53,000 I think they also have Pepe. Yeah, it's natural for him to step up in this moment 128 00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000 and just try to build the chemistry and sent a national team, because if you look at it, 129 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000 there are just five or six games to the final in total, maybe. 130 00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:08,000 So it's a good responsible move to do. Yeah, fair enough. 131 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:13,000 OK, let's talk more about the Turkish team. So who has been playing well so far? 132 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:21,000 I mean, we can say, can I yield this? If you ever heard of him, he's playing for UN2 as well. 133 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:30,000 And the Yilmaz in the center forward position. 134 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,000 I can say Çalhanoğlu is playing well. So some say he's good and he's playing well for the team. 135 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:44,000 But I can't see it. If you go back to that Georgia match, you scored some fantastic goals as well. 136 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:50,000 They were real screamers. So that was. Yeah. 137 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:56,000 And also the youngster, Arda Guler, playing for Real Madrid. He's a talented kid. 138 00:11:56,000 --> 00:12:02,000 So I think if we say, I would say just four or three names in total. 139 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:08,000 And who would be the real danger man, someone we should really mark if I could pass this information onto the Czech team? 140 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:13,000 Don't worry, it's not going to happen. I don't have such contacts in the team. 141 00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:19,000 But, you know, let's just play that role. Who would you pick as the danger man? 142 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:25,000 If I have to say just one name, definitely Arda Guler. He's the man. 143 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:33,000 You might want to, you know, mark Çalhanoğlu or Yildiz. But Guler is unstoppable. 144 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:46,000 If he takes the ball close to the penalty shooter or just a bit behind to go that position from like 30 yards, 40 yards, he can score. 145 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:50,000 Oh my God. Yeah, you saw in the Georgia game. 146 00:12:50,000 --> 00:13:00,000 We have to keep him at bay then. We might have to prevent the Turkish players to cross the halfway line then. 147 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:06,000 That might be the way to go in this game. So how do you think the game will be played? 148 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:10,000 What do you expect from this game? So it's played on Wednesday. 149 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:18,000 So we are recording this podcast on Sunday. So what do you think will happen? 150 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:23,000 I think you guys will be defending site. 151 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:25,000 Probably, yeah. 152 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:32,000 And we'll be like try to do much counter attacks. 153 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:38,000 You will just, I think you will try to catch us in the break most of the time. 154 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:45,000 And you might succeed in most of the positions, I guess. And might score it one or two. 155 00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:57,000 I think we will try to take the ball. If our center to midfielders play Guler and Celhanoglu, we will try to take the ball. 156 00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,000 And try to score an early goal in the first 20 to 30 minutes. 157 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:10,000 If we score then I think we get a high probability to win the game by one or two, maybe three difference. 158 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:15,000 If you guys score first then it's difficult for us to win the game. 159 00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:23,000 We might get a draw but after that if we concede first then it's difficult for us. 160 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000 I don't know what will happen in this game. It's hard for me to call it because I think it's quite unpredictable. 161 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:33,000 Especially because it looks like all you need is just a draw. 162 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:40,000 You guys just need a draw to finish, probably to finish second most likely. 163 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:44,000 Whereas for us we will need to win. 164 00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:51,000 But draw might not be enough if Giorgio wins against Portugal. 165 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000 Which is not very likely. 166 00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:59,000 But I will take the third position by far instead of the second position. 167 00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:03,000 Because if you take the third position you get Spain I guess. 168 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:08,000 I don't think it makes much difference if you play the teams there are like Spain, France. 169 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:14,000 Honestly we are just hoping to make it through. 170 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:19,000 We might have to beat you or play in that way to beat you. 171 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:25,000 And you are right, it's possible that we will start by sitting back a bit. 172 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:31,000 Since you are so good on the ball and you will probably have more possession than us. 173 00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:34,000 But that could be to our advantage. 174 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:39,000 Especially I heard that two of your centre defenders are suspended as well. 175 00:15:39,000 --> 00:15:43,000 How big of a problem is it for your team? 176 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:50,000 I don't see much problem. But I don't know how good is your attacking players. 177 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:55,000 I have some good news for you. It looks like Patrick Schick is injured. 178 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,000 That's good. 179 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:02,000 He has a calf problem, he had to be brought off. 180 00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:08,000 There is a tiny little chance because he has got a medical check-up. 181 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:14,000 But I don't think it's going to happen. It didn't look like it certainly. 182 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:22,000 If we take the ball I can't see a big difference in terms of quality between our defenders. 183 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,000 But if you guys catch us in the transition. 184 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000 Like when we are passing the ball in the middle. 185 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000 Then you catch us intervening the ball. 186 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:42,000 Then it might be a huge problem because our defenders can't run back. 187 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000 What about in the air? 188 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:49,000 Because we seem to have players very good at heading the ball at the moment. 189 00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:53,000 This specific team has a lot of players who are excellent at it. 190 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:57,000 Including Socek, Krejci and others. 191 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:01,000 So I wonder, is this something that could be your weakness? 192 00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,000 Yeah, definitely. 193 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:12,000 Because in the midfield we have all the players who are shorter than you. 194 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Here is the strategy we have to go for then. 195 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:25,000 You might try to just kick the ball long and try to get the ball afterwards. 196 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:30,000 The old school English football. Let's go for that. 197 00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,000 It might work really. 198 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,000 I don't know. 199 00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:40,000 It's also about speed and I think your players are pretty fast, aren't they? 200 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,000 Yeah, some of them. 201 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:50,000 If he gets you in the break, he might be really dangerous. 202 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:55,000 And Boran, there is something we could also talk about. 203 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,000 We could speculate about something here. 204 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:04,000 Looking at the other groups, yes, it looks like you might need three points. 205 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,000 Definitely four should always be enough to qualify from the third place. 206 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:13,000 But there is still a chance that two points could be enough. 207 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:19,000 What if there is a situation, because by the time our game is played on Wednesday, 208 00:18:19,000 --> 00:18:23,000 we will know everything, because our game is one of the last games. 209 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,000 What if a draw suits both teams? 210 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000 What if that scenario happens? 211 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:39,000 Do you think we could make some kind of a deal? 212 00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:48,000 Yeah, I mean, no, I don't think so, because either side, like... 213 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:56,000 I guess if draw is enough for both of us, then we will try to win the game as well. 214 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000 Either way. 215 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000 But it's not as if we haven't seen this before. 216 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:04,000 We have seen this before in world football. 217 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000 Absolutely. 218 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000 There were moments when if both teams know that all they need is a draw, 219 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:17,000 I've seen some moments where defenders were just passing the ball in their own half. 220 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000 There was no pressing from the other team, because what's the point? 221 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,000 If nobody wants to play. 222 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:30,000 But maybe second position, like if you get the second position, 223 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000 you might get a different opponent rather than being in the third position. 224 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000 So it's still a difference. 225 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,000 True, true. Let's be honest, there's not much to choose from. 226 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000 All these teams are very good. 227 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,000 I mean, of course, I'm just having a laugh here. 228 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,000 I'm just joking. 229 00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,000 Anyway, Boran, thank you very much for being on the podcast. 230 00:19:53,000 --> 00:20:00,000 Normally, when I have an Orin guest, I would wish you good luck. 231 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:04,000 But unfortunately, in this case, I cannot do it. 232 00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:10,000 So all I can do is to say thank you for coming on. 233 00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:15,000 And hopefully both our teams qualify. 234 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000 Hopefully. 235 00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:20,000 Okay, man. Take care. Thank you again. Bye bye. 236 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:21,000 Bye. 237 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000 Welcome back. As you know, this is a podcast about football, 238 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,000 but it's also an English learning podcast. 239 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000 This is a podcast which can help you learn English. 240 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,000 And since I am the teacher, your host, Zdenek, 241 00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,000 in case you don't remember my name, you know, 242 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000 I might as well live up to the expectations here and teach you something. 243 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:52,000 So at one point I said to Boran, in the match against Georgia, 244 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,000 you scored some fantastic goals, real screamers. 245 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,000 A screamer is basically a powerful and impressive goal 246 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:06,000 scored from a significant distance or an acute angle, 247 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000 often with great velocity and accuracy. 248 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,000 Velocity means speed. 249 00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:15,000 Accuracy means it's precise, very precise shot. 250 00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:20,000 And it's a term used to describe a goal that is struck fiercely 251 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:23,000 and hits the back of the net with force, 252 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,000 often leaving goalkeepers with little chance to save it 253 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:30,000 due to its speed and placement. 254 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,000 Yeah. There are other words we can use for a goal like that 255 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000 from a long-range shot which finishes in top corner. 256 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:45,000 And that's a rocket, thunderbolt, stunner, cracker, bullet, or thunder strike. 257 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,000 Okay? My personal favorite is screamer and stunner. 258 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000 Those are my favorite words to describe this kind of goal. 259 00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:57,000 Okay. That's it for this episode. 260 00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,000 And before I finish, let me ask you to share this episode 261 00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:05,000 of the podcast with your friends, share it on your social media. 262 00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:09,000 Help this podcast out. We need to reach out to more people. 263 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:13,000 I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who would appreciate a podcast like this, 264 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:18,000 a podcast where you can listen about your favorite passion, football, 265 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000 and learn English at the same time. 266 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,000 Thank you very much for listening and have a great day, everyone. 267 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:35,000 Take care.
