- The second round will be the second series of games in a competition. If you’re knocked out, you lose and are then out of the competition. The team / person that beat you goes through to the next round. If you scrape through, you go through to the next round, but after a very difficult, hard-fought game / match that you only just managed to win.
- They hope the decision will be overturned. They disagree with the decision that has been made and want it to be changed. The opposing player hopes the decision will be upheld.
- They might have to do a blood test or urine test before or after a game or a race. If they’re caught doping (taking banned substances), they’ll probably get a lengthy ban, or in some cases be banned for life.
- They get beaten very badly and lose by a large margin. The crowd may well boo and abuse their team or demand the manager gets sacked, or they may feel embarrassed or go silent.
- If you’re sin-binned, you have to leave the place of play for a short period of time because you’ve committed a foul that’s bad, but not bad enough for you to get sent off. In football, if you’re sent off, the referee gives you a red card – which can be after a second yellow card or can be a straight red for serious fouls or misconduct. Being sent off is worse than being sin-binned. Sin-binning happens in ice hockey, roller derby, rugby league, and rugby union.
- If you’re suspended, you have to miss one or more games because you were sent off in a previous game. If you’re substituted, you’re taken off during a game and replaced by someone else. This may be because you’re not playing well, or it may be tactical – it may suit the game better to bring a different kind of player on. If you’re dropped, you’re left out of the team for one or more games because you’ve not been performing well or have upset the manager in some way.
- Because you’re tired and are running out of energy. It could also be because you’re losing psychological motivation.
- You have a great chance to win something, but fail to. Often it’s because you crack under pressure or lose a crucial game.
- They pay / bribe someone to ensure they get the result they want. Maybe they bribe the officials to encourage them to make unfair decisions; or else they bribe players to encourage them to play badly, make crucial mistakes, etc. They usually do it because they have large bets riding on the results.
- In a close game, the two sides or players are very evenly matched and one wins by a very narrow margin. In a one-sided game, one player or team is much better and thrashes the other. A dirty game has lots of fouls in it, and maybe lots of yellow cards, red cards, and players getting sin-binned.
- If you get cramp while playing / running / swimming, you get sudden severe pains in tired muscles. The muscles become very tight. The day after exercise, your muscles may feel stiff when you move.
- Because they’re doing it for charity and you want to give them money if they complete it because the money goes to the charity. Perhaps because they are someone you know, and you want to encourage them.
