Learn English Through Football Podcast: 2022 Women’s Euro Final
DF: Hello again everyone and welcome to
Languagecaster.com – the football-language podcast for learners of English who love
the beautiful game of football. I’m Damian and I’m in a very sunny Sweden – I’ve been travelling around the north of Europe for a few days and that’s one of the reasons why the podcast has been slightly delayed this week. Now, it’s [been] a week since the final of the Women’s 2022 European Championship game [final] between England and Germany which the
hosts England won 2-1
after extra time and this of course has led to huge celebrations in England.
Now, I’m one half of the languagecaster team, the other member of course is Damon who’s based in Tokyo, in Japan and for those regular listeners who listened in to the preview to the
Women’s 2022 Euros final in our podcast from last weekend, you may have noticed that one of us went for a Germany win
on penalties after a 1-1 draw (that was close), while the other one (yep, that would be me!) went for a 2-1 England win. Congratulations to England – the
Lionesses – on winning their first ever major international tournament. So, in today’s podcast we will look at some of the phrases to describe the three goals from the final and to do this we will use a report from
The Guardian newspaper. The three phrases are: ‘clip the ball over‘; ‘turn in‘ and ‘ping‘.
