Learn English Through Football Podcast: 2019 Copa America and Women’s World Cup Semi-finals

Introduction

DF: You are listening to languagecaster.com’s football-language podcast. Hello everyone and welcome to the Learn English Through Football podcast for all those who love the beautiful game of football and for those who are aiming to improve their English language skills. My name’s Damian and I’m based in London where the sun is shining and the skies are clear – it’s very much summertime here. It’s only me this week as Damon, who regular listeners will know lives in Tokyo, is away but he’ll be back on the podcast next week.

Now I wonder if Damon has managed to see the new film on Diego Maradona’s life which was made by Asif Kapadia and I was lucky enough to see it yesterday and would strongly recommend it to all our football fans – some fantastic stories and of course some wonderful football action from Diego. Brilliant stuff.
