Well.... After all this talk about football, I'm going to have to watch a game. I like the idea of getting together every Sunday to bar hop and then go to the game. It sounds fun. I bet a lot of Spanish women join in the fun as well... eh, Esti?

Esti, you've seen people jumping onto the field naked or you've jumped onto the field naked - please clarify.
How do you say "streaker" in Spanish anyway?

I don't think we have a word in Spanish, it would be a "persona que corre desnuda en público." Also you might say "nudista" but that is a "nudist" which is not the same, so the first option is the best choice.

"persona que corre desnuda en público" doesnt really roll off the tongue, but will take it.

roscovanbasten, jajaja, I´d tried myself several times, but my friends discourage me from doing it ...
We´d say, "un espontáneo desnudo saltó al campo"

docmolly, yeah, for me the best time is the one before the match when you gather together with some friends to have some beers...

Esti,
I think I found you on YouTube - and you're actually pretty good at football, too: http://youtube.com/watch?v=edZFvaTGZ7k&feature=related

Esti,
That was a golazo. But people aren't going to respect you as a footballer if you can't keep your jersey on.

Oh my goodness!!! But... what WAS she doing on the field? How did she get there?
(and the commentary: ay, que verguenza! Un golazo de un streaker!)
...Actually, I think if more matches looked like that football would be even more popular :D
