"Play pretty!" is an English equivalent of the Portuguese phrase Joga bonito! The phrase most famously references encouragement among Portuguese-speaking soccer players to play with honor, pride, respect and strength even though in other contexts it also translates literally as "He plays pretty" and "You play pretty" in English. The pronunciation will be "ZHAW-guh boo-NEE-too" in Cariocan Brazilian and continental Portuguese.
