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 in London and of course Damon, the other member of the Languagecaster team, is in Japan – I wonder if watching football in the middle of the night is having an effect on him! We continue with our look at some language from the last-16 knock-out matches and on today’s World Cup language podcast we explain the phrase ‘to coast past‘ which was used in a BBC report to describe the French victory over Poland.
