home side: 主队

目前世界各地进行了多场世界杯预选赛比赛。欧洲、非洲和南美洲总共有14支球队又获得参加明年德国世界杯的资格。荷兰、意大利等欧洲六强目前已获得参赛资格，本周三的预选赛中，将产生最后3名幸运者。请看报道： The Netherlands advanced with 2-0 win at fellow Euro 2004 semi-finalists the Czech Republic. Barry Opdam of the Netherlands headed the second in the 37th and though the home side made most of the running after the break it was the massed ranks of orange-clad visiting fans celebrating at the end. 报道中的home side 指的是"主队"，还可以用home team、host team来表示；与之相关的"客队"可说成visiting team 或guest team.
