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 based here in a chilly London and of course the other member of the Languagecaster team is Damon and he is based in Japan. Indeed, you might have heard him on yesterday’s World Cup language podcast when explaining the phrase ‘side footer‘ – this was from the Ecuador versus Senegal game on day 10 of the tournament. On today’s World Cup language podcast – this is of course day 11 – I am going to explain the phrase ‘a peach of a free kick‘ after Mexican player Luis Chávez‘ wonder strike against Saudi Arabia in their Group C game.
