Welcome back to everyone’s favourite football podcast for English learners!
Damian and Damon have returned for a series of free summer football podcasts covering the Copa America from Venezuela and the Asian Cup from Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia.
On this week’s show our hosts discuss the Copa America semi finals, the Asian Cup debut of Australia, interview some Japanese football fans and of course, battle it out in the predictions competition. It’s good to be back!
IF!!!…Oz can get past the Thais it does make for a bit of a grudge match quarter-final in Hanoi and that could be a virtual final. However, an Iran game would likely follow soon after and we all know the “the gigantic choke” history there…
Hi Carlos,
I don’t know… In Brazil generally it’s more like, nothing really matters but the World Cup…
Sam, thanks for the comments and apologies to all Indonesian football fans out there for my forgetfulness. Can Indonesia qualify for the next round?
JohnS, is it too late for Australia to return to Oceania ;)?
However, if they beat the hosts in Bangkok on Monday I reckon they can still win the competition outright.
Hello Sam
This morning I have no bloody idea why Australia are in…
Fifa thought we were up to it…
Great podcast and good to hear something about the Asian Cup. A couple of comments.
1. There are 4 countries hosting the competition not three, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia!
2. Why are Australia taking part, are they now part of Asia?
Hi Ana,
congratulations on the win against Uruguay – it sounded like a hard game. What is the reaction like in Brazil?
Zico has been replaced as Japanee coach by Osim who is Bosnian and much like Dunga is very tough indeed!
Hi, the podcast was funny and I loved listening to the Japanese narration. I wish Japan good luck, I remember their performance at the World Cup (is Zico still coaching them?)
Yep, it wasn’t easy for Brazil alright! Can’t wait for the final.
