Portuguese masterclass: Busuu offers fun-football themed lessons online
ENGLISH
The referee needs glasses!
It's not over until it's over!
Only one team is going to be the winner today
We're just going to concentrate on each game as it comes
My nan could have scored that!
At the end of the day, the best team won
He certainly knows where the goal is
That was clearly a penalty!
That was definitely off-side
There are no easy games in international football
PORTUGUESE
O juiz precisa de óculos!
O jogo só acaba quando termina
Somente um time será o vencedor hoje
Vamos nos concentrar em um jogo de cada vez
Até a minha avó poderia ter marcado esse gol
No final do dia, o melhor time ganhou
Esse sabe onde fica o gol
Isso foi um pênalti claro!
Isso foi um impedimento com certeza
Não existem jogos fáceis no futebol internacional
ARGENTINIAN
¡El árbitro necesita gafas!
Hasta que pita el árbitro no se ha acabado
Solo un equipo va a ganar hoy aquí
Nos vamos a centrar en cada partido
Mi abuela podría haber marcado
Al final del día ganó el mejor equipo
El sabe dónde está la portería
¡Fue penalty claro!
Era fuera de juego seguro
No hay partidos fáciles en competiciones internacionales
ITALIAN
Arbitro, mettiti gli occhiali!
Non è finita finché non è finita
Oggi la squadra vincitrice sarà solo una
Ci concentreremo su una partita alla volta
Quel goal lo poteva segnare mia nonna
Alla fine, ha vinto il migliore
Conosce certamente la via del goal
Quello era chiaramente un fallo!
Quello era sicuramente fuorigioco
Non ci sono partite facili nel calcio internazionale
