Watching soccer in Mandarin

[Danilo-11]

I watch a lot of soccer with chinese tv.

Is there a page that list all the channels and say whether they are in mandarin or cantonese?

Can somebody make up a list of the most common words used in soccer games (in pinyin) to help my listening, for example:

pass, ball, goal, goalie, forward, offside, foul, handball, kicked, shot, great pass, excellent play, etc, etc.

Thanks for the help.

There's a list here, which I've converted to pinyin using Adsotrans and attached as an Excel file. Sample below, but I won't paste the whole thing in. Note that the pinyin has been automatically generated and there may well be inaccuracies, plus I can't guarantee the original list is spot on.

football, soccer, Association football 　　 足球 zu2qiu2 zúqiú

field, pitch 　　 足球场 zu2qiu2chang2 zúqiúcháng

midfied 　　 中场 zhong1 chang2 zhōng cháng

I'm sorry for my mistake.

forward is qian2feng1,instead of qiangfeng.
