Comments on: Soccer Game

Thank you for this lesson, I love soccer. I am a soccer girl player so I also get injure too. Mi equipo favorito es el America!

Tengo dos preguntas. In the podcast, toward the end, Liliana talks about fútbol games as an excuse for a party, especially "cuando es una fiesta de _______, de tu pais...." I keep listening to this sentence, but I still have no idea what the missing word is. It sounds like oo-roo-yoh. ???? My other question concerns a word I hear a lot on a Spanish radio station when they talk about los deportes. They keep using the word "technico," but I don't understand what that means in a sports context. I'd love it if someone could explain this. Muchas gracias de antemano.

By:

cyberdiva, That word you're looking for is "orgullo;" it means "pride." So Lili was talking about those big national games where the whole country unites to cheer on their national team. As for your second question, I will let the latinos answer that one!

By:

Muchísimas gracias, JP. "Orgullo" is a word I recognize when I see it in print, but obviously not when I hear it said. With any luck, from now on I will!
