FOOTBALL EXPRESSION
This week’s football phrase for English is sorry. Now, sorry is used as an adjective usually to say you apologise for something or that you feel regret: for example, you say sorry for a mistake. It can also be used for a different meaning – to say that something is in a poor or bad condition, that it is awful. So, in football, if a team had a sorry performance, then they played very badly. If something is a sorry state of affairs, it means that something is in a very bad situation. Last weekend, PSV beat Feyenoord 10-0, an amazing scoreline. Feyenoord put in a sorry performance. The headlines said, ‘PSV thrash sorry Feyenoord‘
