Lesson 11 Key Conversation We're Going to Take It Tonight!

Miranda: Ooh! Score! Your team is SO going down!

James: Yeah, well, the game's off to a rocky start, but we're going to take you. Just watch!

Miranda: I don't think so. You guys are getting schooled today.

James: Nah, this game's going to be tight. Both teams are strong, and there's no point in crying about it yet.

Miranda: Yeah, it's going to be a close match, for sure. But I'm picking Spain to take it all.

James: Really? I think Argentina's got a stronger lineup this year, and they were awesome in the semi-finals.

Miranda: Shh, we're missing the game. What? Why did he get yellow carded?

James: Yeah, didn't you see that foul? It looked like he interfered with number 6.

Miranda: Well, if your team keeps playing like that, we're going to be getting a lot of penalty kicks.
