If you also want to improve your English language skills, youa€™ve come to the right place! My name is Damian, and this is week 3 of the 2016-17 football season and today on our football language podcast we will be reviewing some of the football news, introducing some football phrases and taking a look at the Premier League games coming up this weekend. Now, in here London the weather here has recently been really really hot - I wonder what it is like in Tokyo, where Damon is hopefully there at the end of the line. Damon, how are you doing? DB: Hi there Damian. Yep, good to hear from you. Well, over here I'm doing well after a battering by a couple of typhoons, Tokyo is now sunny, hot and humid - the sun is good, the rest is not! Now, ita€™s been an interesting week of football with Brazil becoming Olympic mena€™s football champions for the first time after a penalty win over Germany, the qualifying rounds for the Champions League have finished and the draw has already taken place - a nice draw for the English sides - and the transfer deadline approaches, thata€™s the 1st of September. Damian, talking about the Olympics, does the football competition mean much? DF: I think for fans in Brazil it most definitely did; though we should remember it is mainly an under 23 tournament, I 'm not sure I'd actually say that in Brazil.. I am not sure either that it means that much for fans here in Britain however. How about in Japan, is it a big competition there? DB: Well, yeah, I think it is a bigger over in Japan than perhaps in Europe. It's seen as a big scalp if you can do well in that tournament, I think,A  in Japan.

Not bad for the tiny side from Accrington. Now, what about bad? Bad DF: Well, it was a bad day at the office for four-time European Champions Ajax, as they were thumped 5-2 over two legs by the Russian team Rostov and they crashed out of the Champions LeagueA in the qualifying round. The Dutch outfit were hammered 4-1 in the away leg and A Rostov, appearing for the first time in the tournament, will be looking forward to the group stage draw! How about ugly Damon. What was ugly this week in football? Ugly DB: The future isA looking ugly for Joe Hart, England's first choiceA keeper, at Manchester City as Pep Guardiola has demoted him to the bench and seems...
