FOOTBALL EXPRESSION
This week’s English for football expression is the phrase to kick off. In football this is the term used to describe the start of the game and it can also be used when describing the start of a league campaign, for instance, this weekend La Liga kicks off. However, this phrase also has a negative connotation in that it can be used to describe the start of a violent situation between fans from opposing teams. This week saw violence kicking off between Millwall and West Ham fans in the Carling Cup though few were surprised as it always seems to kick off between these two sets of supporters. To kick off.
