One question: what do you mean with football team?
We are calling soccer in german Fußball - and this is translated verbatim foot (Fuß) ball (ball).
Also we called football - american football. In this case I can't say anything, because I don't know anything about american football.
And soccer? If you mean this - you must be mistaken - because Germany had lost 2 games the days before. We have actualy the european championship in Switzerland. Yesterday Germany played again Croatia and lost this game.
This was no problem for me, because I am a half german and a half croatia. I am not interesseted in soccer, but I noticed, that the german team lost this game.
So today I entered the class - an jubilated: Croatia won the game yesterday and germany lost.
Then I learnt, that eraser are able to fly.
To my luck, the thrower missed me, so I was able to say: It is no wonder, that germany lost the game, when the player plays soccer as you are throwing an eraser.
After this words I have been ask to run for my live.
I hope this is giving you a little impression about the soccer passion in the european area.
And thank you for the link for the grammer. I think I have to use it often.
