2014年ESL之餐饮娱乐 15 Discussing a Victory or Loss

 

Discussing a Victory or Loss 

Yolanda: Did you see the game last night? 

Bob: You mean the crushing victory of my team over yours? 

Yolanda: That’s not how I would characterize it. We fell short in the final seconds, but we played a good game up until then. 

Bob: In your dreams. My team dominated from beginning to end. You’re just lucky that it wasn’t a complete blowout. 

Yolanda: We would have won if the coach hadn’t decided¹ to throw in the towel early. I think he just melted down under the pressure. 

Bob: It’s easy for you to play Monday morning quarterback, but I don’t think anything would have saved your team from going down in flames. 

Yolanda: There’s a rematch in three weeks, you know. 

Bob: And my team will whup your team again, no question. 

Yolanda: You can trash talk all you like. We’ll see if you’re still smiling after my team wipes the floor with yours!
