Football Language Podcast: 2017 Women’s European Championship

Welcome back to the new season of football language podcasts from Languagecaster – this is our 11th year. This weekend sees the start of some of the European football leagues, the Community Shield in England and of course the final of the Women’s European Championship in the Netherlands and we’ll be looking ahead to those games in this week’s show. We’ll also be explaining some football words and phrases – the verb to fancy, the phrase financial fair play and the nickname the Lionesses – asking a quiz question and of course talking about our predictions for the big games from this weekend. There is also a transcript for those who wish to practise their reading and listening skills
