DF: Hello and welcome to the show for everyone who wants to practise their English and who loves the beautiful game of football. My name is Damian and I am in London where we finally have some summer weather: blue skies and sunshine. How is the weather where you are at the moment? I was chatting to Damon, who is of course the other member of the Learn English through Football team, and he told me that it is really hot in Tokyo in Japan where of course he is based.

DF: Now, we hope you are all well. It’s been a week since the two continental finals took place: Congratulations to Argentina who won their 16th Copa America after defeating Colombia 1-0 in the final in Miami. This win meant that Argentina have now won more Copa America titles than any other side – they have won the most South American titles; they are the most successful side in the region. And congratulations also to Spain who won their fourth European title – that’s the most titles that any European side has won. Most people think that their win was fully deserved, especially as Spain won all of their seven matches and defeated former World Cup winners Italy, Germany, France and England on the way to the title. They were definitely the best team in the competition.

DF: Yes, you are listening to Languagecaster and that message or stinger was in Spanish. So, on today’s football-language podcast we are going to look at some examples of the best, the worst, as well as the least and the fewest in a look back at the Euro 2024 tournament. So, we’ll be looking at some examples of the superlative forms. For example, who scored the most goals? Which team scored the fewest goals? What was the best goal of the tournament and which keeper made the most saves? And what was the dirtiest game? As I said, we’ll be looking at these and many other similar examples of superlatives in today’s show.
