The 2018 FIFA World Cup kicked off in Russia on Thursday 14th June. This is the first World Cup held in Europe since 2006 and the first ever to be held in Eastern Europe. It’s time for football vocabulary to enter the EFL classroom again and as the World Cup also coincides with Wimbledon, it’s going to be a sporty month!
The World Cup Russia 2018 Groups
The World Cup Russia 2018 involves 32 national men’s teams, including the automatically qualifying host team (which this year is Russia). During the competition, there will be a total of 64 matches, which will be played across 12 different venues, located in 11 cities in European Russia.
The World Cup Final will take place on 15th July at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow. The group stage is now over and all the teams have battled it out to decide on the top twowinning countries in each group.
The Knock-Out Stage
At the end of the group stage, the top two teams in each group go through to the knock-out stage. This stage contains the last sixteen teams and the loser from each of the remaining matches will be eliminated (i.e. ‘knocked out’).
The knock-out stage is when it starts to get nail biting as there must always be a winner in every game. This means matches can go to ‘extra time’ and penalty shootouts become a possibility!
After the ‘last sixteen’ comes the quarter finals (including the last 8 teams), followed by the semi-finals (the last 4 teams) and then the big final on 15th July, which will decide the winner of the World Cup Russia 2018!
The World Cup 2018 is another chance to use football in the EFL classroom. We have looked before at footy vocab and phrases during the FA Cup and Women’s Euros, including some interesting historical information about these competitions.
We’ve also prepared some general football vocabulary which can be useful for discussing any soccer competition or football matches in general.
World Cup Opening Ceremony
The special aspect to the World Cup 2018 is that it is being held in Russia. The country that plays host to the World Cup always gives the competition an individual flavour.
From the music on the television before each game, to the quirky opening ceremony that is a staple of every World Cup, the host country is always an important part of the competition.
Russia surprised viewers by holding quite a short opening ceremony lasting just fifteen minutes with performances from British pop star Robbie Williams and Russian opera singer Aida Garifullina.
Other interesting elements of the opening ceremony this year included giant footballs, jugglers, a giant bird made out of crepe paper, representatives from each country in colourful dress, dancers with footballs on their heads and a brief performance from a harpist.
There was also a short speech from President Putin, who welcomed World Cup visitors to an ‘open, hospitable and friendly’ Russia.
