goal گول (gol)
victory فتح (fath)
defeat شکست دادن (shekast dadan)
defend دفاع کردن از (defa k)
attack / offense حمله
player بازیکن (baztkan)
soccer / football فوتبال (fotbal)
ball توپ (top)
cricket جیرجیرک (chercherak) (not entirely sure if this is only applicable to insect or both the insect and sport)
lose از دست دادن
win برنده (borda)
champion قهرمان (qaraman)
referee ریفری (refri)
