dar un paseo

[Orma]

Hi,
In Argentina slang to refer to a soccer game, we say "le dio un paseo" to mean that the team was really superior.
You can say "Boca le dio un flor de paseo a Racing" (meaning that Boca played better and won the match)
Can you say "Boca took Racing for a ride"?Does that have the same meaning?
Any ideas if not?
thanks a lot

No, that would mean that he defrauded or took advantage of racing. You sometimes hear "was the better man on the day" which has a similar (and obvious meaning)

Hi Orma

To take someone for a ride means to deceive them, so I don't think it's quite right here. You could say:

- Boca walked all over Racing
- Boca ran rings around Racing
- Boca thrashed Racing
- Boca outclassed Racing
- Boca breezed past Racing

...I'm sure there are more, but hope that helps!
