It almost feels like a world championship match!

Let’s not get into reverse discrimination now. He’s probably the best player or the
most experienced in international competition.
* reverse
discrimination: to engage in racism or ostracize members of the majority or
ruling class
ex> When I moved to Africa, I felt
what seemed like reverse discrimination, even though I was the minority.
Yeah, I guess so. It’s just hard not to see everything through the eyes of the victims of apartheid, you know?
* see
through the eyes of: to understand another’s perspective
ex> If you could see through the
eyes of an animal, you would be unlikely to continue eating meat.
Well, it doesn't look like the apartheid
era in the stadium today, does it? Everyone seems to be getting a kick out of the game equally.
* get
a kick out of: to find enjoyment in something
ex> Billy got such a kick out of
sports cars as a kid, that now he sells them.
It’s great to see people able to look past their differences, even if it’s
just for a few hours.
* look
past: to ignore problems or differences
ex> Try to look past the
candidate’s troubled youth and see him for the man he has become.
