salutations,

we are from Brazil, but we don't know if we understood the joke correctly, so that we can't translate it precisely to English, because it uses some idiomatic constructions that are difficult to translate to English without loosing its meaning. but here's our attempt:

1 - in the balloon 1, we think he means it's not still with this victory he's going for vacations with Helen.
2 - in the balloon 2, the defeated player is saying "with this defeat, I'll have to tolerate the VICTORY again!".

best regards,

Hello!

It seems that pc2 have no idea that the guy on the grass is David Beckham... Here's the translation:

1. Not even with (after) this victory will I go on vacation with Helen.
2. (David Beckham says): With (after) this defeat, I'll have to go back and tolerate / stand the Victoria (his wife) again.

To tell the truth : neither I did

... Therefore Pc2 are downright excusable...

That was a post for our senhor doutor Miguel ; he has got a PhD in soccer, or just about...

But, Sisyphe, I wasn't accusing anyone. Pc2 are from Brazil, they were born socker players or F1 drivers, but perhaps they are less familiar with the European players...

Apparently senhor doutor Miguel is on holiday... So, I'll take over the Portuguese translations untill he comes back, despite not having got my PhD in soccer yet... To be honest with you, about soccer I know just as much as I know about space rockets or nuclear power plants... That they exist

'Cause he hasn't appeared in any advertisment. I have only recognised Beckham from the Pepsi and Gillette ads...

salutations,

to tell the truth, we don't know anything about soccer/football. we are more interested in things like computer science, computer programming, computational linguistics, historical linguistics, and things like physics, astrophysics, math. these things are very interesting.

Cãlin, we know you're not accusing anyone. you're right. we had no idea that player was David Beckham. we've already heard or read this name somewhere, but we had no idea he was a player.

you're right, we've never heard this name before.

Hello!

Sure, no problem. Look:

Cristiano Ronaldo and Katia were godparents at his sister’s wedding and assisted with emotion at their niece’s baptism.

The football player returned to Madeira in order to be godfather at the wedding of his sister ELMA and in order to assist at his niece’s baptism.

CRISTIANO RONALDO returned from holiday and was in the spotlight at his older sister’s wedding.

You're welcome
