Learn English Through Football Podcast: Bayern Hunt Treble – 2020 Introduction DB: You are listening to languagecaster.com. Hello everyone, we hope you are all safe and well and welcome to the podcast for fans of football, especially those wishing to improve their English language skills. This show has been explaining the language of football since 2006, nearly 15 years ago, so we are a safe pair of hands when it comes to explaining the meaning of the words, phrases, and cliches used in football. My name is Damon and I am based here in Tokyo, Japan, where football also started a few weeks ago. The windy, rainy, and hot and humid weather, though, isn’t ideal for playing the game.

DF: Hi Damon and hello to all our listeners from a very, very windy London – definitey not my favourite type of weather to play football in – I much prefer a little bit of rain to play football as it helps with quick and accurate passing.
