I've never been to a soccer game

[bmarquis124]

what would it be in Spanish?

nunca he estado en...

[Rusty]

Nunca he ido a un partido de futbol/fútbol.

[pjt33]

I'd use "Nunca he asistido a un partido de fútbol" on the grounds that the "go" in the English sentence is about presence rather than movement.

[irmamar]

Nunca he ido a un partido de fútbol is correct. Yo tampoco he ido nunca :D

[sosia]

agree with all! :D
Nunca he ido/asistido a un partido de fútbol
Nunca he estado en un partido de fútbol

"I've never been to a football game" (asistir) or "I've never played in a football game" (although better "I've never played football") are ok, but "I've never been in a football game" sounds wrong.

Nunca he estado en un partido de futbol.

American English equivalents:
I've never played soccer.
I've never played a soccer game.
I've never played in a soccer game.
I've never been in a soccer game.

The last sentence could mean that you didn't actually play the game, but you were with/among the players.

"I've never been in a football game" sounds wrong for an english and good for an american
I've never been to a soccer game" it's oke for both?? :D

Yes, but expect Brits to correct you for speaking American rather than English ("soccer" vs "football"). :p

:D :D :D
They are playing more "soccer" now. In 30 years it will be "football" and "football" will be "US football" :D :D
