Passage 2
Speaker 1: And David Seaman is in goal for the England team down to our right ... It's difficult to get used to the change of team colours here ... I'm looking at the white shorts and thinking they're English players, but they're not. For this match it's the Germans who are wearing white. I hope the English players don't have the same problem. We don't want them to pass the ball to the Germans. Now Gascoigne for England passes to McManaman for the first time ... McManaman is immediately surrounded by three German defenders ... He brings the ball to the near side of the pitch (球场近端)...still McManaman for England, crosses the ball to Pearce ... Pearce takes a shot! ... saved by the German Ziegler, and picked up by Ince only 25 yards away from the German goal ... good effort by Ince, aims at the goal! ... and Kopke,the German goalkeeper pushes the ball over the top of the goal. So a corner kick(角球) for England.
Speaker 2: A great shot by Ince, I'm sure he knows that Pearce set that up for him, but Kopke put the shot out of danger.
Speaker 1: He does like to punch the ball, that Kopke in the German goal ... England's first corner of this semi-final ... Gascoigne will take it ... Here comes the corner kick from Gascoigne ... and Shearer's there and Alan Shearer scores for England... England have scored after only two minutes' play ... with a corner kick by Gascoigne ... aimed at the near post(近端球门柱), and Alan Shearer heads the ball into the German goal ... It's an absolute dream start for the semi-final ... Shearer has got his fifth goal of the tournament ... Would you believe it? It's England one, Germany nil!
