Taglines

If I am going to go with with this tongue in cheek approach i need to have a proper look at football phrases and how tey could be taken a different way. The following are from 'http://www.englandfootballonline.com


A team - The No. 1 or strongest team a club or a country fields.  It is sometimes referred to as the senior team or side.

Golden goal - The name FIFA has formally given to a goal scored in extra-time which wins the match for the scoring team and brings an end to the match.  It is also known as a "sudden death" goal.

Half-time - The interval which occurs midway through the match, between the first half and the second half, which are each 45 minutes in length plus any time added on.  Half-time was once 10 minutes in length in English football, but, after the advent of televised matches, it was lengthened to 15 minutes.

Match-fit - The term used to describe a player's physical readiness for match play.  A player may be generally fit in the sense that he has recovered from an injury and yet still not match-fit because he has not yet achieved the physical condition required for the rigours of match play.


Pretty bog standard phrases, i will have to dig around for some more...
