With the 2010 World Cup in South Africa staring in June we felt it would be great to put up some Spanish vocabulary for the World Cup and Soccer in general.

Learn some basic terminology in Spanish for the game of soccer. What are the positions called in Spanish. What do you call a referee in Spanish and more.

Then take a look at some Spanish vocabulary for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

What team are you cheering for? There are seven teams from Spanish speaking countries competing. Mexico, Hondruas, Paraguay, Chile, Uruguay, Argentina and Spain.

Listen and enjoy the 2010 Official theme song sung by K'naan and David Bisbal in both English and Spanish
