#WorldCup #LearnEnglish

In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Jack and Rich host their third World Cup podcast. In this podcast, they are going to do two roleplays.

This podcast was recorded on the 20th of June and the roleplays are based on an imaginary result for England's match against Panama. The result sets up the language focus on speculating before and after a football match with a specific emphasis on conditional forms.

Your task is to write about the action at the World Cup and write some conditional sentences about the past and the future. As always, we also have a new football phrase for you to guess and news about our World Cup competition and World Cup programme.
