Two meanings: a tie (like 2-2) and also how Cup fixtures are determined. Man City won a domestic treble in the 2018-19 season: League, League Cup, FA Cup. Apparently it goes back to the cities being on opposite sides of the English Civil War — in the 17th century! Advantage – when a player is fouled but the referee allows play to continue since the offensive team still has possession and has a good attack going (if the play does fall apart the referee can then call the foul – the referee is waiting to see how the play unfolds), Area chica – Spainish term for the six yard box in front of the goal, Back heel – hitting the ball with your heel (passing with the heel of your foot to a player who has made a run behind you), Ballon d’Or – European Footballer of the Year, Booking or booked – when a yellow card is given by the referee that player has been booked; usually the ref writes the player’s name down in his notebook of players who have been given cards during the game, Build up – usually when a team plays the ball out of the back rather than serving the ball up to the forward with a long pass; a slower and more methodical way to bring the ball out of the back where the defenders keep possession of the ball and move it laterally, Catenaccio – tactical system in soccer with an emphasis on defending; in Italian it means door-bolt; strategy where team tries to prevent goals more than anything, especially if they’re down a man or only need to tie the game, Check – to ask for the ball or make a run checking back to receive the ball, Chilena – name for an over head kick or bicycle kick in Latin America, Clasico – Spainish term for when local rivals are playing one another, Clean sheet – when a keeper doesn’t allow the opposing team to score, Clearing it – when a team decisively kicks the ball out of its defensive zone, stopping the other team’s offensive attack (if a team is being bombarded with an offensive attack and can’t seem to stop it, your team can boot the ball down field or out of bounds to regroup and get everyone back into position), Closing down – putting pressure on an offensive player so they have no space or time to operate, Capocannoniere – nickname for the top scorer in the Italian Serie A, Clean sheet – when a keeper doesn’t let in a goal, Cover – supporting the player closing down an opponent (the second and third defenders who cover the first player to help win the ball), Crack – slang term often used in Spain for a soccer / football star; someone who has amazing talent, skills and potential in the game, Diagonal ball – just what it is, a cross field pass or diagonal ball that opens up the game, Direct play – playing the ball forward; usually looking to pick out a forward who is posting up; not trying to slow the game down but looking to attack, Diving header – when a player jumps parallel to the ground in order to hit the ball with his or her head (when that’s the only way the attacking player can really reach the ball). What they mean is you’ve parked the team bus in front of your goal.
