SPORTS-RELATED EXPRESSIONS (UNDERDOG): meaning and examples

Hello everyone, and welcome to our last lesson of the week. I hope you are having a good day. 

As you know, this week we have been looking at sports-related expressions.  

This week's final sports-related expression is: Underdog

Definition: in a competition or a situation the underdog is the person who seems least likely to succeed or win. A person, competitor or group of people with less power, money, etc. than the rest of society.

Example 1: They went into the championship game as the underdogs, but in the end they were victorious. Nobody thought that they would win. 

Example 2: She always cheers for the underdog, whether it be in sports or in politics. 

That's it for this week, everyone. I hope you enjoyed the lessons.

I also hope you have a great weekend. Monday is Valentine's Day, so next week we will look at vocabulary related to Valentine's Day.

All the best!
