recently where said - I feel fantastic today - today I don't feel fantastic because I
1

00:13
was up a lot during the night and I've been awake since 3 a.m. I also played
2
13160

00:18
football yesterday so I feel tired from that and yeah I don't feel my best but
3

00:25
I'm making a video anyway. It's Monday morning about 11:30 a.m. I want to talk
4
25800

00:33
about sports today to give you some more listening practice and it will give you
5
33390
5680
00:39
practice related to sports vocabulary. Now, I did make a live video recently on
6
39070
6419
00:45
YouTube where I talked about the national game or the national sport, for example,
7
45489
6210
00:51
the national sport of England is cricket - ignore my dog -
8
51699
7581
01:00
the national sport of america is baseball - now, this doesn't mean that these sports are the most
9
60250
8000
01:08
popular sports in those countries but it's just saying it's the sport that's
10
68250
5060
01:13
most part of the culture - most embedded in the culture, however, the most popular
11
73310
6710
01:20
sport in the UK is football. I grew up playing football, I grew up watching
12
80020
4880
01:24
football I love it I'm always going to love it and when I moved to America, I
13
84900
5800
01:30
was a little bit worried that there wouldn't be anyone here who liked the
14
90700
5520
01:36
game. But to my surprise, it is super popular here in fact, they have a very popular
15
96220
7570
01:43
adult leaguge; adult soccer league and I play in this league and last night, as I
16
103790
6259
01:50
said, i played - we lost the semi-final we lost 2-1 but all is good because we
17
110049
6521
01:56
went out to celebrate anyway after because it's the end of the season. Now, I
18
116570
6220
02:02
am now 33 and
19
122790
3200
02:05
I'm not as quick as I was when I was 25/26 so it's getting more difficult every
20
125990
6320
02:12
year for me to play but I'm trying to get into training so that I get quicker; I
21
132310
6780
02:19
get faster; and I get better at soccer because I want to enjoy it as much as I
22
139090
5100
02:24
can. But I'm so excited I was so excited when I found out that there was a league here and
23
144190
6700
02:30
the standard is really high too. There are a lot of people who used to play college
24
150890
5160
02:36
football - college soccer as they call it - and a lot of people, well, in fact we played
25
156050
5600
02:41
against a professional player an ex-professional play yesterday, she was very
26
161650
5950
02:47
good, so yeah, it's very very popular here - I love love playing. The problem is as I said
27
167600
7710
02:55
I'm not as young as I used to be, so it's getting more difficult and I feel really
28
175310
6120
03:01
sore the days after - it takes me a long time to recover from the different games,
29
181430
6419
03:07
so it can be very difficult for me to go to the gym on Monday, Tuesday or
30
187849
5230
03:13
Wednesday - my legs feel really really sore still. What I want you to do is, for some
31
