On a lighter note.......I found this, I highly encourage you to watch it two or three times.

I wish I could understand what the announcers were saying:)

Ha ha!  I heard "espectaculo" and "increible" in between laughs.  That was amazing!  I thought I'd seen some pretty bad dives in the Liverpool-Stoke match today, but that takes the cake! 

Thanks, sac.

My daughter is coming home this week-end. I will have her listen to it and see if she can figure it out.

Because the daughter with sophomore spanish said they talk too fast for her but she did find the video funny.

Yes, I've spent a lot of time in Chile but 1) they talk really fast and 2) they use a lot of idioms.  I did just get an email from a friend there, so I might send it to him for a proper translation.  I think even Chile supporters would agree that was just ridiculous.

Better than using a lot of idiots!! And if you get a translation, make sure you post it (as long as it is appropriate0

The inappropriate ones are the funniest! 

Although I doubt they'll be too off color, since this was on TV.

Most of the time I record games to watch at a latter time and I often purposely avoid seeing scores, so I was quite shocked today to see Fabrice Muamba suffering what they are calling a heart attack on the pitch in the Tottenham/Bolton game.  Terrible scene, hopefully he pulls through.

To say this would be a miraculous recovery might be a bit of an understatement:

Muamba 'dead' for 78 minutes

What a story!!!  Hoping he's able to continue to improve.  Whether he plays football again is secondary at this point...

The best part of the Olympic games is the Track and Field and Swimming.

And the daughter who talks to Spanish speaking parents when they call school, said the same thing.

I forwarded the clip to a student who's just spent a semester in Chile but I haven't heard back from him yet.

My Chilean friends make the point that they use more words than English speakers to say an equivalent sentence--we counted once, and it was about 30% more words on average.  So they have to talk 30% faster!  That's their story and they're sticking to it.
