Football English - Losing

JACK RADFORD
About this episode
In this week's Premier Skills English Podcast, Jack and Rich are watching their team on the TV. Their team is losing and they're not happy. The language focus is on football English and words and phrases we use when our team is losing and we also take a look at the phrase if only and pronunciation of should have been. In this week's task, we want you to tell us about a match you've watched or played which ended in defeat. Don't forget to listen to the end of the podcast because we have a new football phrase for you to guess.
