he's a review from BBC Learning English Hello and welcome to News Review The program where we show you how to use the language from the latest news stories in your everyday English I'm Dan and joining me today is Catherine.

Well, today we're looking at a story about racism in sport.

OK, well, let's hear more about that from this BBC World Service news report.

Racism has overshadowed a football match between England and Bulgaria in Sofia.

The referee stops the game twice in the first half after Bulgarian fans directed racist chance and gestures towards the black English players Raheem Sterling and Tyrone Ming's.

The match came close to being called off completely.

Yesterday, the England football team played a euro 2020 qualifier against Bulgaria in Sofia.

Now play was stopped twice during the game.

This was due to the fact that some Bulgarian supporters were singing abusive songs, making abusive gestures on the grounds off race towards the black players on the England side.

Now that much wasn't completely called off, but it came very close to that FIFA has a three strike rule.

1/3 stoppage could have meant the game being abandoned completely.

Okay, well, we've got three words and expressions that our viewers can use to talk about this story.

We have overshadowed you'd gesture on Dhe as clear as day.

Can we have our first headline then, please?

First England's win over Bulgaria, overshadowed by racist abuse, overshadowed made to seem less important than something else.

Now I see some word building coming up here.

Don't we have two words here over O v e r and shadowed s h a D o W e d.

It's all written together as one word overshadowed.

You can overshadow something, but we use it in the passive.

Okay, so what exactly is a shadow for a clarification?

Well, a shadow is an area of darkness caused when the light coming towards that thing is blocked.

So you can probably demonstrate for us now.

Yes, If I kind of stick my hand up like that and block the light there, you can see that my face is on your face is no darker because your hand is between the light and your face, so that's a shadow.

Obviously, we're not using it in the literal sense.

But the idea that something is less visible is really important here.

If you overshadow something, something that is usually quite good, positive and successful, something which people should be focusing on as well.

You stopped looking and celebrating at that thing because something bad or different happens that draws the attention away.

So it's a negative thing, usually, isn't it?

If you are overshadowed, it's normally negative.

You don't get the the praise that you would be expecting to get in this context.

Of course we're talking about I mean, England won six nil.

But actually everybody's talking about the racism, which is a negative thing, exactly that the racist behavior off some of the fans has overshadowed the game, not just the England victory, but just the game itself.

So you then look at that other thing instead.

I mean, people said that, um sadly, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle wedding was over.

Shuttled both with the difficulties that she was having with her father.

And that cancellation overshadowed the wedding to an extent.

Well, let's not overshadow the next two headlines by talking about this one any longer.

And we'll move on to our second headline, please.

Barclay appears to make You'd gesture in response to racist chanting after scoring lewd gesture, rude body movement.

You can pronounce it you'd or lewd, that's all.

A gesture is a body movement, usually a hand movement to communicate an idea.

Now we all use gestures all the time as part of communication.

And you just can you make a happy accepting symbols like I did at the beginning?

That's a whole body of not your hands in the air hands.
