Here are a few from today's game. All in English.

Current: "[Defender] tackles and take both the ball and the player"
Should be: "[Defender] tackles and takes both the ball and the player"
Comment: Subject-verb agreement.

Current: "[Team] has a lot of space in the opposing half! He could counter-attack"
Should be: "[Team] has a lot of space in the opposing half! They could counter-attack"
Comment: Teams are not a guy. They are several guys, sometimes as many as eleven at once.

Current: [On a corner kick] "[Player 1] kicks a weak centre pass/[Player 2] throws himself in for the header!"
Should be: "[Player 1] kicks a soft centre pass/[Player 2] throws himself in for the header!"
Comment: Or possibly a "short" pass. A weak corner isn't going to be at head height by the time it reaches the box.

Current: [On a corner kick] "It's a chance! But [Player] arial defense dominates"
Should be: "It's a chance! But [Player] aerial defense dominates"
Comment: Aerial is an adjective. Arial is a font.

Current: "[Player] is trying to dribble passed his opponents"
Should be: "[Player] is trying to dribble past his opponents"
Comment: Typo.
