英格兰，是那个很有名的队。

England is the very famous team.

大家都说，英格兰很厉害。

Everyone says England is formidable.

英格兰队里，有很多很好的球员。

England has many very good players.

加纳呢，名气没有英格兰大。

Ghana is not as famous as England.

可是，加纳的球员也很努力。

But Ghana's players also work very hard.

所以，大家都觉得，英格兰会赢。

So everyone thought England would win.

好，比赛开始了。

Okay, the match began.

两个队都想进球。

Both teams wanted to score.

"进球"，就是把球踢进去。

"To score" means to kick the ball in.

比赛一开始，英格兰就一直往前踢。

From the start, England kept pushing forward.

他们想快点进球。

They wanted to score quickly.

大部分时间，球都在加纳的门前。

Most of the time, the ball was near Ghana's goal.

英格兰踢了一次，又踢了一次。

England attacked once, then again.

他们射门，射了好多次。

They shot at goal many times.

可是，球就是进不去。

But the ball just wouldn't go in.

为什么呢？

Why?

因为加纳守得太好了。

Because Ghana defended too well.

加纳的人，都站在自己的门前。

Ghana's players all stood in front of their goal.

大家一起，守着自己的门。

Together, they guarded their goal.

英格兰往左踢，他们就往左守。

When England went left, they defended left.

英格兰往右踢，他们就往右守。

When England went right, they defended right.

不管英格兰怎么踢，就是进不去。

No matter how England played, it just wouldn't go in.

有几次，球差一点就进了，可是没有进。

A few times the ball almost went in, but didn't.

英格兰踢了很久，还是没有进球。

England played a long time, still no goal.

看球的人，都很着急。

The people watching were all anxious.

最后，比赛结束了，零比零。

In the end, the match finished, nil-nil.

两个队，谁都没有进球。

Neither team scored a goal.

对英格兰来说，这有一点可惜。

For England, this was a little bit of a pity.

他们踢了那么多，却没有赢。

They attacked so much, yet didn't win.

可是对加纳来说，这是一件好事。

But for Ghana, this was a good thing.

因为他们守住了，没有输。

Because they held on, and didn't lose.

对着这么强的队，能不输，很不容易。

Against such a strong team, not losing is hard.

他们一直很努力，每个人都很拼。

They kept working hard, everyone fought.

所以，他们守住了自己的门。

So they protected their own goal.

他们拿到了一分。

They got one point.

对加纳来说，这一分很重要。

For Ghana, this one point is important.

加纳的球员，都很高兴。

Ghana's players were all very happy.

他们守得很好，大家都很佩服。

They defended so well, everyone admired them.

对一个名气没那么大的队来说，这真不容易。

For a less famous team, this really isn't easy.

他们的球迷，也都特别高兴。

Their fans were all especially happy.

其实，这就是足球好玩的地方。

Actually, this is the fun part of football.

踢得多，不一定就能赢。

Attacking a lot doesn't always mean you win.

能守住，也很厉害。

Being able to defend is impressive too.

有的时候，小的队也能守住大的队。

Sometimes, a small team can hold off a big team.

好了，今天的足球比赛，就说到这里。

Okay, that's all for today's football match.

英格兰和加纳，零比零。

England and Ghana, nil-nil.
