Sarah shares a few thoughts about football.

○音声を聞く


英語リスニング・本文

Todd:Sarah, so what sports do you like?

Sarah:My favorite spectator sport is football. I support Newcastle United in England.

Todd:Newcastle United.

Sarah:Newcastle United, Yeah.

Todd:Are they a good team?

Sarah:Um, yeah, I think they're pretty good. They finished fifth in the premiership this year, so they're near the top.

Todd:OK, so right now we have the Euro cup. And last night England played.

Sarah:They did

Todd:Yeah, did you see the game?

Sarah:Ah, no I was going to watch it tonight actually in Shibuya but I'm thinking maybe not now 
because we lost on penalties.

Todd:Yeah, what was the score?

Sarah:Ah, the final score was 2 all (2-2) and then it went to penalties and I think it was 6-4.  
So England always lose on penalties.

Todd:They always lose on penalties?

Sarah:Yeah

Todd:Well, sorry. Maybe in the World Cup, next time!

Sarah:Maybe. Maybe! Yeah.

Todd:Now do you ever play football?

Sarah:No, I've never played.

Todd:Never

Sarah:Never played, no!

Todd:OK. Do you ever go and watch games in Newcastle?

Sarah:Um, it's very difficult to watch games in Newcastle because it's a big club and it's Premiership 
and you have to book in advance quite a few years but I've seen some first division football clubs 
play against each other.

Todd:You have to get tickets two years in advance?

Sarah:For the big clubs, yeah. They're booked up.

Todd:That's pretty intense. So when there's a game on TV then what do you do? Do you watch it at home? Do you go to a pub?

Sarah:Ah, it depends on the game. I like it and I like Premiership football, and I like World Cup football 
and Euro 2000 but I wouldn't watch particularly a first division game on the television, but normally I would go to the pub with friends and watch the game.

Todd:Do you think that athletes make to much money?

Sarah:I think footballers do. Yeah, I think they do. I think they do a good job but I think they're incredibly overpaid.

Todd:Yeah, I think it is the same thing in the states. I think they make too much money.
