Learn English Through Football Language Podcast: 2023 Winners
DF: Hello again everyone and welcome to Languagecaster.com – the football-language podcast for learners and teachers of English. I’m Damian and I’m here in a very, very sunny London and it’s the day after West Ham United had their victory parade through the local streets after winning the Europa Conference League earlier in the week – 43 years after their last silverware and so the locals are very happy indeed!
DB: Hi Damian. Yep, congratulations to West Ham there’s nothing better than winning some silverware. It sounds very nice over there in London, by the way, my name is Damon everybody and I’m based in Tokyo which is pretty rainy at the moment I’ve got to say. So, again congratulations to West Ham but it’s not just the London team that’s been winning in Europe, is it Damian?
DF: Hi Damon and yes, you’re right, it’s not just been West Ham who’ve been winning. We recently posted a football language podcast on the Europa League final between Sevilla and Roma which of course Sevilla won on penalties, while we have also looked at some of the language describing other wins: West Ham’s victory parade of course and some newspaper headline language describing Manchester City’s title win in England (it was called ‘Coronation Day‘). So, on this week’s podcast Damon and myself will be looking at some of the language that described some of the teams that won some of the trophies this season.
