Picture of the Day: Goal!!!

Question

Hello Everybody! Welcome to the Picture of the Day!

This is a game where we can practice our Spanish and English, but still have fun at the same time!

The rules are very simple and remain more or less exactly as RelaxingCup designed them.

• Post your comments/titles/captions to this picture (both in Spanish and English) and vote for the responses you like. The best answer will be chosen tomorrow on the basis of the greatest number of votes as well as the language accuracy.

• Pon tu comentario/ título/ pie de foto a esta imagen (ambos en español y inglés) y vota por las respuestas que te gusten. La mejor respuesta será seleccionada mañana, tanto por la cantidad de votos como por la corrección en el uso del idioma.

• Please, give everyone a chance and only post one caption and no photos.

• Por favor, deja que todos tengan una oportunidad y pon solo una respuesta, sin fotos.

Please help each other with your English/Spanish sentences. And above all, have fun!

Answer 1

Eso en verdad duele, a mí me pasó en dos diferentes ocasiones, si no me equivoco.

That really hurts, it happened to me in two different occasions, if I am not mistaken.

After the first hit you probably are mistaken ;) - ray76, Apr 15, 2015

To me, it would be more natural to say "on" two occaisons. I cannot say why anymore than I could say why things happen on Wednesday but in April. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 15, 2015

I agree. - rac1, Apr 15, 2015

or...it happened to me twice. - gringojrf, Apr 15, 2015

"On two different occasions " works for me , but it is probably cultural. And probably more in common usage to point out that the occasions were separate , not consecutive. - ray76, Apr 15, 2015

Answer 2

Un nuevo deporte , golpee a un comentarista. con un disparo.

A new sport, hit a commentator with one shot.

I'd watch it ;) - 00ffada9, Apr 15, 2015

Chistoso Ray - porcupine7, Apr 15, 2015

...golpee a un comentarista... :) - Pablo064, Apr 15, 2015

@tiempo, there I go again , at least I am consistent in my mistakes , you know what to expect , no surprises . ;) - ray76, Apr 15, 2015

Thank you porcu. - ray76, Apr 15, 2015

H C A S , there are some that are so inane that a good crack on the noggin may help them. - ray76, Apr 15, 2015

Answer 3

Si tiene una puntería tan buena, lo quiero para mi equipo- necesita algunos jugadores que puedan marcar un gol.

If he has that good an aim, I want him for my team- it needs some players that can score a goal.

This is a hypothetical sentence, I don't watch soccer much, my football is American. :) - bosquederoble, Apr 15, 2015

Answer 4

Okay, pay up. I won the bet.

Bueno, págame. Gané la apuesta.

...la apuesta.. :) - Pablo064, Apr 15, 2015

Answer 5

Damn! That's my hair messed up.

Maldita sea! Esa es mi cabello desordenado.

Answer 6

Reportera: Si supiera que esta ocupación es tan peligrosa, seguramente habría escogido algo menos peligroso.

Reporter: If I knew that this occupation is so dangerous, certainly I would have chosen something less dangerous.

..algo menos peligroso... :) - Pablo064, Apr 15, 2015

Gracias Tiempo de estar - porcupine7, Apr 16, 2015

Answer 7

El arco es un lugar estupido para poner un estrado de TV...

Between the goal posts is a dumb place to put a TV podium...

Ya think?! jeje - rac1, Apr 15, 2015

Answer 8

Did anybody get the number off that truck?

¿Alguien obtiene el número de ese camión?

Answer 9

Female commentator: "What the heck just happened?!

La comentarista: ?¡Qué diablos acaba de pasar (ocurrir ) !?

Male commentator: "One of the players (has) just kicked the ball off the pitch!"

Con correcciones:

El comentarhista: ?¡Uno de los jugadores acaba de patear la pelota fuera del campo! ?

Female commentator: "It's a good job that I have been practising my ball skills, recently, especially my headers, but if they want me to play (participate) they should ask me properly!"

La comentarista: ?¡Menos mal que llevo* practicando mis habilidades con control de balón recientemente, sobre todo hacer los cabezazos.....pero si quieren que juegue (participe), deberían pedirme de manera correcta! (o correctamente)

o he estado practicando*

Llevo + gerund ( idiomatic grammatical construction used in Spain eg: Llevo aprendiendo español cinco años = I have been learning Spanish for five years) I learnt this from a previous native teacher from Spain.

Corrijan mi español, por favor

you have to clear that the player kicked the ball to avoid confusion (because you didn't mention the ball previously) ...acaba de patear el balón/la pelota fuera del campo...' :) - Pablo064, Apr 15, 2015

Muchas gracias por tu correccion, a tiempo : ) - FELIZ77, Apr 15, 2015

¿Hay otras correcciones? - FELIZ77, Apr 15, 2015

..a fews...'menos mal que recientemente estuve (or 'he estado') practicando...sobre todo los cabezazos(more natural than 'hacer los cabezazo' but it's okay)..deberían pedírmelo de manera... :) - Pablo064, Apr 16, 2015
