100 Football Words?


Fabio Capello said he only needed 100 English words to manage the England team. The Cambridge Dictionaries Online (CDO) produced a list of these words. Can you guess 15 of them?

Write them down then check the full list here. You can use some of them to name the positions on the pitch & in this listening comprehension about football tactics. And you can read about how the FA Cup began.

There's also a great football story
The Big Match (with audio and a new worksheet).
