Este juego está muy bien cuando juegan muchos, pero cuando solo hay dos personas resulta ser casi tanto ejercicio como jugar al fútbol.

This game is great when there are plenty of you playing, but when there are only two people it's almost as much of a workout as actually playing football!

Este juego está muy bien / está genial cuando juegan muchos... :) Very good, Jenny! - cogumela, May 11, 2011
