00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
You're listening to the Footglitch Podcast. Love football, learn English.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:11,000
Will Robert Lewandowski feature in the next big tournament?

3
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:16,000
Who will win their quarterfinal battles in Euro 2024?

4
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:19,000
Who will lift the Euro 2024 trophy?

5
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:31,000
And what does it mean when a player is getting on a bit?

6
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:53,000
Hello listeners, I'm Zdenek Lukas and you're listening to another episode of the brand new English learning podcast about football called the Footglitch Podcast.

7
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:59,000
Today's guest on the Footglitch Podcast is Staszek from Poland, aka Stan.

8
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,000
Hi Stan, welcome to the podcast. How are you?

9
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Hi Zdenek, thank you. I'm fine. It's really a pleasure to be here. Thank you for inviting me.

10
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:16,000
Yeah, it's a pleasure for me as well. We've been in touch for a long time and I know you are a huge football fan.

11
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:24,000
So of course we are talking about the Euro 2024 here and I thought I might as well have Staszek on.

12
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:35,000
Thank you for that. I'm following almost each of the episodes of Footglitch so I'm really honored that you decided to invite me.

13
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Great, so it's a pleasure to have a listener on the podcast of course.

14
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:50,000
So Staszek, you are from Poland and your team didn't do exactly well. Actually it's a very similar story to my team, to Czechia.

15
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,000
So have you managed to get over this disappointment already? Because I'm still struggling.

16
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:15,000
We didn't expect anything from the team. Really the expectations in Poland were on so low level that after the first game in the Netherlands they played really well.

17
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Despite the fact that we lost the games but the fact how they presented was really something good.

18
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:38,000
So our expectations were a little bit higher but unfortunately the second game with Austria was really poor.

19
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:46,000
We lost and we were the first team actually who was eliminated.

20
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:56,000
So it was kind of sad but I see some positive sides because there are some changes in our team.

21
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:07,000
We got plenty of young players, some old players like Lewandowski for example need to step aside a little bit.

22
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:17,000
I think we are in the process of changing the generation and we got a really good coach.

23
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:25,000
I'm not a huge fan of him but the atmosphere in the team is quite good.

24
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:40,000
I'm definitely a supporter always. I remember three years ago I was on Euro 2020 but it was in 2021 in Sevilla.

25
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:48,000
When we drew 1-1 with Spain on their land so it was really successful.

26
00:03:48,000 --> 00:04:02,000
I remember how we were excited but unfortunately in Poland most people did not believe that we could achieve something.

27
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,000
We hoped that within the next Euro we would play better.

28
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:18,000
Being realistic here and objective both our teams did not deserve to make it to the last 16 and then the quarter-final.

29
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,000
I think there were better teams at the tournament.

30
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:31,000
I like your positivity. I can't exactly say I can be positive in the same way about the Czech team.

31
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:44,000
They put their hearts in the Czech Republic. Despite the fact that Barak received a red card in the last game with Turkey,

32
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,000
they really did a great job and were really close.

33
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:54,000
Turkey is like a host on this tournament.

34
00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:00,000
That's right. They have a lot of support in Germany because there are so many Turkish people living there.

35
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,000
No Lewandowski in the next tournament? Was this his last tournament?

36
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:18,000
I'm not sure. We talked about it with friends and there are some voices that he probably will be part of the team.

37
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:27,000
Of course if we qualify for the next World Cup because it's not that easy.

38
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Maybe it depends if he will be able to start from a bench for example.

39
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
It can happen.

40
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,000
He can still have an impact from the bench because he's an experienced player.

41
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:50,000
Let's be honest, he's getting on a bit. Who knows?

42
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:58,000
We can see that these players who are around 40 years of age and they have been big superstars,

43
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,000
we can see that it's not always the best thing to do to keep these players around.

44
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
We can see it on the example of Cristiano Ronaldo.

45
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:12,000
But people are divided on this. Some people think he's a legend of football and he should always play.

46
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:20,000
But others say that he's making it harder for other players to show what they can do.

47
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:29,000
In a team like Portugal that is full of talent, maybe he's just taking someone's spot.

48
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:39,000
I'm a huge supporter of Lewandowski. The things that he's done for our country, for me he's the best player.

49
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:46,000
I don't like people who criticize him. There are plenty of people like that in my family.

50
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:50,000
We argue every time about it.

51
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,000
I understand. It's always difficult.

52
00:06:53,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Especially if someone has the status of a legend or deserves to be in the team on merit and on the previous achievements.

53
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:09,000
But at the same time it should be about the current form.

54
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:14,000
We should look at what the player can really bring to the team.

55
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
And weigh up the fact that the player is getting on.

56
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Enough of talking about Poland and the Czech Republic.

57
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:26,000
We should move on to the quarterfinals.

58
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:31,000
We have got eight teams there. It is a quarterfinal.

59
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Spain is playing against Germany tonight.

60
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Portugal is against France tonight.

61
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:42,000
Next day we have England against Switzerland.

62
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
The Netherlands is taking on Turkey.

63
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Let's go through each of these games and try to predict what the result might be.

64
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:59,000
The first game is Spain vs Germany. What do you think, Stan?

65
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,000
In my opinion, Spain so far is the best team.

66
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:07,000
They played really consistent football.

67
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Mostly they control the game.

68
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:13,000
Their wings are really great.

69
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,000
Jamal and Nico Williams are super fast.

70
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,000
Young is something amazing.

71
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:27,000
As a midfielder, Rodri Pedri controls the game.

72
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:35,000
I only see some negatives on their defence.

73
00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:42,000
But for example, maybe Morata is not playing so well.

74
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:50,000
I remember when we were in Spain, the Spanish people called him an offside guy.

75
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
I wonder why.

76
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:58,000
Always in an offside position. Is that why?

77
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Definitely. His performance is not that great in this tournament.

78
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
But the rest is super good.

79
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000
He is also always criticised by the fans in Spain.

80
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,000
But he has got a track record of scoring goals.

81
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
That's probably why he is being picked.

82
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Yes, statistics are on his side.

83
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:30,000
For me, this is a game that should probably be the final.

84
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000
I think this is the game of arguably the best two teams.

85
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
Germany is the host.

86
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,000
For me, they have fantastic support.

87
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:44,000
They have been playing alright.

88
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:48,000
There was one game that was not exactly brilliant.

89
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
The game against Switzerland was their worst game.

90
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:57,000
But overall, they also have a team of fantastic players.

91
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:01,000
Jamal Musiala has scored three goals.

92
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Then they have this big guy, Fyl Krig, who can come on from the bench.

93
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:12,000
Some people say he might even start this one.

94
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Then Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen doesn't even start sometimes.

95
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:21,000
He is also a German wonder kid.

96
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Of course, we need to mention Toni Kroos in the middle of the park.

97
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000
He is pulling the strings.

98
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Yes, definitely. I saw some statistics that Fyl Krig is scoring every 55 minutes.

99
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Usually, he starts on the bench. So, it's crazy statistics.

100
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:46,000
It's really tough to predict the result of this game.

101
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000
I will support Spain because football is really attractive.

102
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:58,000
Despite the fact that in Germany I have plenty of friends from my company.

103
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:03,000
I hope they will not listen to this podcast.

104
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,000
I hope Spain will win.

105
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Do you know this famous quote by Garen Inecker?

106
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:19,000
You know that there are 22 players chasing the ball.

107
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:24,000
And always Germany will win.

108
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:28,000
I hope it will not be the same this time.

109
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:33,000
I can see this game going to extra time and possibly even penalties.

110
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
I think this will be a very tight game.

111
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
I look forward to it.

112
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Yes, definitely.

113
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:46,000
The next one on the menu is Portugal vs France.

114
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:51,000
That promises an attractive game as well.

115
00:11:51,000 --> 00:12:00,000
It's also crazy to predict the result of this game because there are two teams that are really strong.

116
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:04,000
This part of the draw is crazy.

117
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:08,000
The second one is much weaker.

118
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Here, I will probably support...

119
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:19,000
I don't know, to be honest.

120
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:27,000
I like two teams but I don't like the performance of France.

121
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:35,000
Their huge advantage is super strong defense with Saliba.

122
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:44,000
I'm a gunner so I usually support Arsenal's players.

123
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:52,000
But their offense is not playing well.

124
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
Mbappe has some problems with his nose after the injury.

125
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
He has to wear a mask.

126
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,000
Who do you think will win this one?

127
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:06,000
I will go with extra time and probably penalties.

128
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:17,000
I'm sure Cristiano Ronaldo will be crying whether he loses or wins.

129
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:21,000
I think that's the reason why people love him.

130
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:27,000
He's giving everything he's got.

131
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:32,000
Personally, my secret tip is that France wins this one.

132
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:41,000
The first time they show up, I think it's because the Portuguese can't sit back.

133
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:44,000
They will want to play football with them.

134
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:48,000
I think they will be punished for it by France.

135
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
That's my secret tip.

136
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:58,000
I don't mind whichever of these two teams advance because they are both excellent teams.

137
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:02,000
The champ as a coach is worth mentioning.

138
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:05,000
His statistics are really good.

139
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:18,000
I have a French friend who told me that they believe that his cat always brings luck.

140
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,000
His haircut?

141
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
No, his cat.

142
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:28,000
I got it.

143
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:35,000
On the other side of the draw, as you said, it's slightly weaker.

144
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,000
But still two interesting ties.

145
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,000
We've got England versus Switzerland.

146
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,000
What do you think will happen there?

147
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Switzerland is for me one of the most organised teams in the tournament.

148
00:14:54,000 --> 00:15:01,000
I'm really happy that they are playing so well with Akangy as a leader of the defensive.

149
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:05,000
Chaka as a...

150
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000
Holding mixed leader.

151
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:12,000
Yeah, his performance is really good.

152
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,000
Some players like Shakiri for example.

153
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
I think he will start on the bench.

154
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:26,000
But really strong Mbolo and this player Mdoye from Bologna.

155
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,000
His performance is really good.

156
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:36,000
On the other side we have England, one of the overrated teams in the tournament.

157
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:41,000
They almost lost with Slovakia.

158
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:47,000
So maybe it will be a trigger that they will change something.

159
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
We will see.

160
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:55,000
But so far they are really under a lot of criticism.

161
00:15:55,000 --> 00:16:00,000
And I know that people in England are really pissed.

162
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:04,000
Southgate is really not in a good position.

163
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

164
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
This is interesting. You said they are pissed.

165
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,000
Actually in British English that means they are drunk.

166
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:16,000
I think you meant they are pissed off.

167
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,000
Yeah, yeah, definitely. They are pissed off.

168
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:25,000
It's interesting because pissed in American English it means pissed off in British English.

169
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,000
So you are right as well.

170
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:32,000
It just sounds funny because they are also drunk probably.

171
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,000
Because they like to drink, especially during matches.

172
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:41,000
I saw some video when Valingam scored a goal.

173
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,000
How they celebrated. It was crazy.

174
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:50,000
What happens is that whenever they score a goal they throw the beer.

175
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,000
They will get rid of the beer and it spills everywhere.

176
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,000
And then they need to buy a new one.

177
00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:04,000
So I think it's a great opportunity for beer making companies to make a lot of money if England score a lot of goals.

178
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:08,000
Because then they have to buy a new beer each time.

179
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
For sure.

180
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Alright, so for me Stan, like France, I think England will finally show up in this one.

181
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:25,000
But it's not so clear cut for me because if Switzerland keep England at bay for a long time,

182
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:31,000
then they might start getting nervous and something similar to the Slovakian game can happen actually.

183
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:36,000
So I'm not sure about this one. It could go again to penalties extra time.

184
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
But I would put the money on England again.

185
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,000
But not as sure about this game as I was with France.

186
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,000
Yeah, definitely.

187
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,000
And then we have the last game. And that's the Netherlands, Turkey.

188
00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:56,000
So what do you think about this one?

189
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,000
I didn't expect that I will say that.

190
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:08,000
But probably the Netherlands for me right now is one of the main candidates to be in the final.

191
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000
But it's mostly not because of how they are playing, but it's because of the draw.

192
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,000
It's really good for them.

193
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:21,000
Austria lost with Turkey.

194
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,000
So right now they will play against Turkey.

195
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:31,000
Last game versus Romania was really good for them.

196
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:39,000
But I think it's because of the way how Romanian players were playing and the tactics,

197
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:44,000
because they were really offensive.

198
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:48,000
I think that if you let the play,

199
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:55,000
the Netherlands players using counterattacks, if you will be not deep enough,

200
00:18:55,000 --> 00:19:05,000
because they have really speed players, really fast players like Cody Gagpo,

201
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,000
Xabi Simons, Malen.

202
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:17,000
So if you give them space to play counterattacks, it will be tough to stop it.

203
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000
And Turkey are such an unpredictable team.

204
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
They are capable of anything.

205
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:25,000
And when I say anything, I mean anything.

206
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
It could be a fantastic performance.

207
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000
It could be a worse performance.

208
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:34,000
They are capable of moments of brilliance.

209
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:38,000
They have some incredible players like Arda Gülen.

210
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
These guys are just out of this world.

211
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
So you never know.

212
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Anything could happen.

213
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:48,000
And I think in this game in particular, it's really important who scores the first goal.

214
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,000
If it's the Turks, I would favor the Turkish to actually go to the semifinal.

215
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,000
That's my prediction.

216
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:58,000
If not, then it's going to be the Dutch.

217
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:03,000
Yeah. And it's really likely that Turkey will score by free kick.

218
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,000
They did it two times with Austria.

219
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:11,000
Like you mentioned, Arda Gülen, his passes are really good.

220
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000
So the Netherlands should be afraid of this part of the game.

221
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Exactly. Exactly.

222
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,000
Okay, Stan, I'm going to ask you one last question.

223
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Can you please respond quickly?

224
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
Who do you think will win the tournament?

225
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:31,000
I will go with Spain.

226
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:37,000
Okay, I will say Germany to make it interesting.

227
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:43,000
But by the time people are listening to this podcast, I think they will probably already know the result.

228
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:44,000
But that doesn't matter.

229
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
This is an English learning podcast.

230
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,000
As long as we discuss football, I don't think it matters.

231
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:52,000
Right, Stan, it's been a real pleasure to have you on the podcast.

232
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Thank you very much for talking to me and have a great day, man.

233
00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Thank you, Zdenek.

234
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:06,000
It was really a pleasure to talk with you about football and we'll talk to each other next time.

235
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,000
Absolutely. All right, man. Take care. Bye bye.

236
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:15,000
Take care. Bye bye.

237
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Welcome back.

238
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,000
In this part of the show, as always, I'm going to teach you something.

239
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:21,000
This is the language corner.

240
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:24,000
This is the bit that you like the most.

241
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
I'm not sure actually if you like this bit the most.

242
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
You probably like it the least.

243
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000
But that's where I showcase my teaching abilities.

244
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:36,000
And today I would like to explain the phrasal verb to get on.

245
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Because I said in this episode when I was talking about Lewandowski, the Polish player,

246
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
I said he's getting on a bit.

247
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Yeah. So what does it mean if a player, a football player or any kind of person,

248
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,000
any human being is getting on?

249
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Well, it means that that player is getting old.

250
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,000
It's euphemism for saying that player is getting old.

251
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:04,000
If you say someone is getting old, that sounds quite strong.

252
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:09,000
So instead you can say, oh, he or she is getting on a bit.

253
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,000
That sounds a bit weaker.

254
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:18,000
And as you know, in the English language, people like to talk in an indirect way in order not to offend anyone.

255
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Yeah. So that's a lovely phrase to use.

256
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:24,000
But you could also say he's not the youngest anymore.

257
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
That would be your alternative.

258
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:30,000
When it comes to these phrasal verbs, by the way, these are verbs which have two parts.

259
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Get on and they are used together, right? To get on.

260
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:39,000
This one, by the way, is tricky because it has other meanings, right?

261
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,000
So the first meaning is to be getting old.

262
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:49,000
But then you can also get on with someone, which means to have a good relationship with someone.

263
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:56,000
For example, I don't know, Lewandowski is getting on with his teammates,

264
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:04,000
which means there are good relationships between Lewandowski and other players in the Polish squad.

265
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,000
And you could also get on a bus, right?

266
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:15,000
You could get on a train, get on a plane, which means to basically enter that vehicle.

267
00:23:15,000 --> 00:23:18,000
The opposite is to get off the bus.

268
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:23,000
And then one more is you can ask someone a question.

269
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,000
How are you getting on?

270
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,000
It sort of means how are you doing?

271
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,000
Usually it refers to some specific activity.

272
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:37,000
For example, how are you getting on with that house you're building or something like that?

273
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,000
How are you getting on? Are you successful with it?

274
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
So that's another meaning.

275
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
And I'm sure there are more.

276
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Just be careful with these phrasal verbs because they have several different meanings

277
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:53,000
and they might be used in a different way.

278
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
So hopefully this has been useful for you as always.

279
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:59,000
Thank you very much for listening to this episode of the Footglitch Podcast.
