Slice of Life 25: Why I Love Football


Listen Later

We don’t have to get into the whole argument about soccer versus football, they are both pretty cool. However, in this episode we get to talk about something near and dear to all of our hearts, why we love American football. Great ready for a vocabulary challenge!

Dialogue

A: Então, por que é que você gosta tanto de futebol americano?
B: É fácil, é o jogo perfeito de equipe: todos os 22 jogadores precisam fazer o papel deles.
A: Sem dúvida, até o melhor quarterback do mundo depende da linha ofensiva dele.
B: E os jogadores da defesa secundária dependem completamente dos jogadores na linha de defesa.
A: E eu adoro como um jogador da linha pode chegar a ter mais de 2 metros e 160 quilos, mas os chutadores só tem 1 metro e 70 e 80 quilos.
B: E quem não gosta da análise do bloqueio, rotas dos recebedores, avanços, jogadas de lance ou jogadas de correr?
A: E não se esqueça como é legal ver o recebedor quando ele pega a bola e fica dentro da linha do campo.
B: Sabe de uma coisa? Quem traduzir esse diálogo sobre esportes vai querer nos matar!


A: So, why is it that you love football so much?
B: Easy, it’s the perfect team sport: all 22 players gotta do their part.
A: No doubt, even the world’s best quarterback depends on his offensive line.
B: Right, and the safety and the corner totally depend on the linebackers.
A: And I love how linemen can be a gigantic 6’8’’ and 350lbs, but the punters are just 5’8’’ and 175lbs.
B: And it’s a great game for breaking down blocking schemes, receiver routes, first downs, run plays, pass plays.
A: And don’t forget how cool it is to see a receiver pull in the catch and stay in bounds.
B: You know what? Whoever translates this sports dialog is gonna want to kill us!
