Friday 9/1 Bonus Round: German Idiom

ins Wasser fallen: to fall through

zB: Das geplante Fussballspiel gegen die Nachbarstadt fiel ins Wasser, weil viele unserer Spieler Grippe hatten.

auf Englisch: The planned soccer game with our neighboring town fell through because many of our players had the flu.
