6. Discussing soccer players and teams
Nicholas: Mike, what do you say to our watching a good soccer match at the city stadium?
Mike: No, I don’t feel like going out now. It’s likely to rain.
N.: I hardly recognize you, I must say. Nothing can stop you when football is played and such a surprise! Growing older, eh?
M.: No, not that, so far. The trouble is I don’t feel quite well for a couple of days. Cold, I think. So either you go alone or make me company in front of the TV screen.
N.: So let it be TV to-night. When will they televise the game?
M.: Don’t know for sure. But here’s a sports paper. Switch the television on, will you? It’ll be on the air in ten minutes. I think our city has a good chance of winning this cup match now that Armstrong keeps goal again. A superb goalie he is and in excellent trim now.
N.: Yes, but what happened to him last season? He wasn’t in good form. I think it was all due to the injury he sustained at the outset of the season.
M.: Probably. But this year he really works wonders – he is always in top form and doesn’t concede goals. In short, the old-time has got all his pep back. But what about the goalie of the visiting side? As far as I know, he is a crack player too.
N.: Yes, only think of that, man: this starry-eyed tyro joined the team only a couple of seasons ago. And now, I hear, he is one of the best players.
M.: I’ve really never seen such a cool-headed and daring chap as he is. Well, Nick, prick up your ears; the sports commentator is declaring the make-up of the guest side. Their forward line looks formidable, doesn’t it?
N.: Yes, quite an all-star team. And the captain of their team is very good. I think we are in for a bitter disappointment tonight: I’m afraid they will win.
M.: Well, you sound convincing but I am sure the home side may spring a big surprise on the guests. I assure you their forward will fail to grind down our defense but our youngsters from the forward line may too much for their defense.
