Germany played the current\u00a0Weltmeister\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(World Champion) France, and lost. With 1-0, an\u00a0Eigentor\u00a0<\/em>(own goal) by Germany. Whoops. But let’s not give up, there are many more games to come! If you want to get some vocabulary down for the next game, look no further – here’s a list of some essential football vocabulary, so you can follow the German commentary in any way you want!<\/p>\n

Where can I find German commentary?<\/strong><\/h1>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uG8ZicPt4Z0<\/p>\n

If you want to get German commentary for the games (or any sports), the ARD Sportschau<\/strong><\/a> is often a good bet. It’s the public German channel. You can watch their livestream, but only from Germany, sadly. But there are also other channels, like Manu Thiele<\/a><\/strong>, who makes commentary videos on Fu\u00dfball<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The video above is a parody of Germany being in\u00a0die Todesgruppe\u00a0<\/em>(“death group”), Group F, in the Euro 2020. It gets this name, because three out of the four teams in the group are very strong – Frankreich, Deutschland und Portugal <\/em>(France, Germany and Portugal). Ungarn\u00a0<\/em>(Hungary) is the fourth one, but not a favorite like the others, so it’s an\u00a0Au\u00dfenseiter\u00a0<\/em>(m, outsider). It’s pretty funny and full of flat humor. Just the way Germans like it.<\/a><\/p>\n

On to the vocabulary!<\/p>\n
