England's World Cup dream is over after a heartbreaking semi-final defeat to Argentina. In this episode, I'm joined by Luke from Luke's English Podcast, who shares his thoughts as a gutted England fan.

We discuss where the game was won and lost, who looked more aggressive in the first half, what ultimately cost England the match, and why everyone has to take their hat off to Lionel Messi, who once again produced a world-class performance. Plus, you'll learn the football expression "to hit your stride" and other useful English vocabulary along the way.

This week's episode is a special crossover with Craig from the Ingles Podcast! ⚽🎙️

We look back at the role football played in our childhoods, share our thoughts on the ongoing World Cup, and even venture into the thorny subject of politics in football—with Craig, as always, doing his best to play devil's advocate.

Along the way, we naturally introduce plenty of useful football-related English, including different types of football fans such as die-hard supporters, fair-weather fans, glory hunters, and armchair supporters. In the Language Corner at the end of the episode, I go through all of this vocabulary again, explaining the key expressions and how to use them naturally.

Whether you're here for the football, the English, or the friendly debate, there's something for everyone.
