Soccer Spanish

I am not athletic or sporty, I exercise in the way I brush my teeth. It's important, so I do it, and pay some attention to the results. However, I watch the Olympics - curling was especially interesting in Vancouver this year - and I am following the World Cup. I have been watching the Univision evening re-broadcasts and am hopeful my Spanish will improve. "Gol" is just short for "golazo," which is a reference to the complete phrase, "goool, golaazo, GO-LAA-ZOO," in crescendo. I also know that "la pelota no rueda mas" means the end of a period. Above all, I find it fascinating that coaches range from well-coiffed and elegantly suited to round-tubbed spitting types. Check back soon to see if I've learned more.
