world cup

Do you have a bad case of World Cup fever? Good! I need your help. In my house we made a wee mistake. We scheduled our TV service to be cut off on June 11th so that we could enjoy our summer without distraction. Oops we forgot about the World Cup.

Without TV I'm going to be counting on the Internet to keep me in the World Cup loop! For the most part, I'm going to count on all of you. Please use the comments below to share thoughts and news about anything and everything World Cup related. You can write about favourite players and teams, upcoming games, injuries, and bad calls. You can write your predictions, add your rants and raves, and share new words that you learn as you watch.In return for your updates, I'll create a resource list for you.

  • Today Argentina won Nigeria ;1-0
    So Expector Smith must be happy now ....
  • i probably will roar for Asian countries.. go japan and korean.. (^-^)v
  • "You bet!" No doubt Argentina is one of the "hopefuls". But don't forget about Brazil, Spain, Germany, Italy, England, Netherlands, etc.
  • Thanks for the great note Expector. I love how you are putting words in bold for learners. This is very helpful. So, are you going for Argentina?
  • great idea
  • I am going to watch the World Cup on TV, even though because of the different time zone, I have to stay up late if I want to watch a live match and even though the Chinese team is absent from the Cup.

    Yes, it's a good idea to share some news and thoughts here. When I was young, I used to play football/soccer and enjoyed watching the matches so much. I am a fan of Maradona who is now the coach of Argentina.

    Um, yeah, don't forget to learn some sports English when you enjoy the Cup. It isn't easy for learners to understand what the TV commentator is saying, especially when he/she is so excited. So it can be a listening challenge for learners.

    Do share your thoughts and news here!
  • I think that if you forgot about the football world cup it is because you don't like it, then just let it pass.
