Learn English Through football Podcast: 2019-20 Manchester United vs Liverpool

Introduction

DF: You’re listening to Languagecaster.com’s football-language podcast. Hi there everyone and welcome to the Learn English Through Football podcast; the podcast for all those who love the beautiful game of football and who are aiming to improve their English language skills. Now, my name is Damian and I’m based here in London and first of all we’d like to apologise for the delay in this podcast’s appearance – we really did have some technical issues with our hosting. We are, as regular listeners will know, usually two presenters but Damon is unable to make it ‘live’ this time round though we will be hearing from him later.
