This statement is false. Moira asks Enrique if this is a "tournament or maybe a championship match" to which Enrique replies "No Moira, this is a friendly match with nothing on the line". The expression "nothing on the line" signals that there is nothing "at stake" or "at risk". In other words this match has no important implications. Enrique also mentions that this is a "friendly match", and Brent adds that it is an "exhibition match".
This is a true statement. Moira says the correspondent Enriqué de la Cruz is "joining us right now from the Azteca stadium in Mexico City". To "join" someone is to meet or contact them. Example: Why don't you join us in the bar later when you are ready?
This is a true statement. Enriqué says that two goals have been scored so far and that the first was scored "in the first half (by Mexican striker Jorge Luis Garbajosa on an amazing bicycle kick from the penalty area)." Enrique says that the Americans equalized in the second half. To 'score (a goal or point) is to mark a goal or point.
This statement is false. Enrique says that in the second half, "the Americans equalized on a header from Joe Umbabwe". Although the US didn't score any goals in the first half, they score one in the second half. To "equalize (the score) is to match it, or make it equal. Example: The score was 2-1 to France but Zodone equalized with a goal in the last minute to make it 2-2. A "header" is a 'shot" made by intercepting the ball with the head in order to pass or score with it.
