Introduction DF: Hello again everyone, this is Damian from the languagecaster team and you are listening to the Learn English Through Football Podcast. We hope you are all well and still staying safe. I’m here in London where the weather is bright and sunny and hopefully the weather is good where you are too. Right, on today’s show we continue with our series of podcasts about classic World Cup matches that have appeared on FIFA.com’s website in their #WorldCupAtHome series and on today’s podcast we’ll feature a game from the 1998 World Cup between Argentina and England – this was a last-16 match, one of the knock-out round games. Previous World Cup matches that we have featured include: Spain and the Netherlands from the 2014 World Cup, the Netherlands and Brazil from the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, the second round match between Brazil and Italy from 1982, the 1994 World Cup match between Nigeria and Italy and another last-16 game between two great rivals: West Germany and the Netherlands from 1990. First of all in this podcast, we’ll look at some of the background to the 1998 World Cup and and then explain some of the language used to talk about the match between these two huge rivals: Argentina and England. We then finish up with a look back at what happened in the rest of the tournament. Stinger: You are listening to languagecaster.com (in Portuguese)
