Sports Slang in Spanish: Argentina vs Mexico vs Spain
Gustavo, Ana, Sofía · Argentina · Mexico · Spain
About this episode
The same sport. Three countries. Completely different languages for the same moments. Gustavo, Ana, and Sofía go head to head on eight concepts — the informal pickup game (picadito / cascarita / partidillo), the star player (crack / cañón / figura), the useless player (pecho frío / freno de mano / petardo), the fans (hinchada / porra / afición), going all out (meterle pata / echarle ganas / echarle huevos), screaming at the ref, celebrating a goal, and the phrase for when a team completely collapses. Every concept side by side — Argentina, Mexico, Spain — so you know exactly which register to use depending on who you're watching the game with.
