si puo dire anche 'segnare' per 'scoring', penso di averlo sentito?
Hope you don't mind.
You're right,we are used to saying 'segnare' or 'fare goal'.
Concerning football (soccer for americans):
The player who scores a goal is a 'marcatore', never a 'segnatore' though.
Moreover, "tripletta" stands for hattrick.We also have a word for a player who scores twice,which is 'doppietta'.I wonder if there is any correspondent noun in english.
Furthermore,since i like this topic,if a player scores when there is really few time to go,we talk about 'zona Cesarini',which stands for Cesarini time.I guess that Cesarini was a player who was used to score in the last minutes,i'm too young to remember about it.
