O jogo está bem equilibrado até agora, não acha?
............................................................................................
Yes, neither side have looked like scoring a goal so far.
Sim, nenhuma das equipes conseguiu marcar um gol até agora .
............................................................................................
Except that one time when our strickerValdivia was almost through but was fouled by the fullback Chicão. The referee didn't see it.
Tirando aquele momento quando nosso atacante Valdivia quase marcou mas foi derrubado pelo zagueiro Chicão. O juíz não viu nada.
............................................................................................
Are you crazy or blind?, it really gets up my nose when something like that happens. The ref was right this time.
Vc está louca ou cega? Fico realmente irritado quando isso acontece. O juiz estava certo dessa vez.
............................................................................................
Well, I hope that the ref will be looking right way if he  tries playing dirty again.
Espero que o árbitro esteja vendo caso ele jogue sujo novamente.
............................................................................................
And I hope you learn a little more about soccer to stop tting up my nose with your comments.
E eu espero que vc aprenda um pouco mais sobre futebol e pare de me irritar com seus comentários.

A rolling stone gathers no moss		A person who never settles in one place or who often changes his job will not succeed in life ; one who is always changing his mind will never get anything done.
As you sow, so you shall reap		One will either enjoy or suffer the consequences of his earlier actions or inactions.
Barking dogs seldom bite		Those who make loud threats seldom carry them out.
Better late than never		To do something that is right, profitable, or good a little late is still better than not doing it at all.

Dead men tell no lies		( often used as an argument for killing someone whose knowledge of a secret may cause one loss or get into serious trouble.)
A great talker is a great liar		A smooth and persuasive talker may be a good liar.
Every cloud has a silver lining		If you say that every cloud has a silver lining, you mean that every sad or unpleasant situation has a positive side to it. If you talk about silver lining you are talking about something positive that comes out of a sad or unpleasant situation.
All that glitters is not gold		Do not be deceived by things or offers that appear to be attractive.
Eat to live, but do not live to eat		Man was created for a divine purpose and he has a destiny with his Creator - he was not born just to enjoy food.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket		One should not risk everything he has in a single venture.
Every dog has its day		Everyone will get a period of success or satisfaction during his lifetime.
Every one can find fault, few can do better		It is easier to find fault in other people's actions or methods than to do it properly or correctly.
Any time means no time		When an event is not decided on or planned earlier it will never take place.
Fair exchange is no robbery		A contract is fair as long as both the parties understand and agree to the conditions willingly; after a deal is closed neither side can turn around and say that he was unfairly treated.
Fire is a good servant but a bad master		Fire, like any other manmade tool or device, will serve man well only when it is controlled and used wisely.
