The ball that unites the whole nation

Could you provide some programmes introducing the British soccer – I mean the Premier League – and the teams and famous football stars, and some soccer terms like kicking off?   Chris, Peking University

Chelsea, West Ham and Manchester United. What do they all have in common?

They're all teams that are part of the Premier League, the highest professional league for football clubs in England.

In this week’s Ask About Britain we meet a man who works for Chelsea and has met famous players including John Terry, Ashley Cole and Cristiano Ronaldo.

We also learn some football terms. What happens when you commit a foul? And what does it mean to score a scorcher?

Join Andrea and Sun Chen to find out.
