I don't play football so I don't know much about the terminology.
Play the ball - ? (my guess is: mängi) I am open - ma olen vaba Pass it - sööda Press - if verb then: suru, if noun then: pressing Tackle - ? Shoot - löö However, you're totally in luck, because as it happens, there's a masters degree project about English-Estonian football terms available online as PDF. Dictionary part starts on the page 21.

The idiomatic meaning of "saame ära" is "we will be defeated". The literal meaning is something like "we will be had (by them)". 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

Vihelik is probably right on this one. Sports and games terms can sometimes be really
weird and make no sense without context. Edited by aabram on 09 April 2014 at 9:32am 1 person has voted this message useful |
