Sample Text from World Cup 2018 Assembly:
Referee: Sorry, I didn’t quite catch that. What are we here celebrating today?
Whole Cast: (Shouting louder) THE WORLD CUP!
(Referee blows the whistle)
Referee: OK. OK. Sit down, everyone. Don’t let’s get too excited! It is, after all, only football!
English Fan: (In outrage) Pardon? Have you never heard what the great Bill Shankly had to say?
Referee: No. But I’ve got a feeling I’m going to!
English Fan: He said “Some people believe football is a matter of life and death. I’m very disappointed with that attitude. I can assure you it is much, much more important than that”!
Referee: (Shrugging) And there was me, thinking it was just sport! So, let’s find out a little more about the World Cup, starting with where it’s going to be held this year, 2018.
Russia: In Russia! We, as the host nation, (turning to cast) are happy to welcome you all!
(Everyone cheers)
Referee: Thank you, Russia. Tell me. How many countries are there competing this year?
Russia: Thirty-two!
Referee: Let’s meet them! In Group A
(Each country, represented by a fan dressed in his team colours, stands and waves the national flag in turn before sitting down again)
Russia: Russia! We’re the host nation
Saudi Arabia: Saudi Arabia. The first team to take on the host nation in the opening match!
Egypt: Egypt!
Referee: Welcome back!
Egypt: Yes, it’s been 28 years since our last appearance in a world cup, in 1990.
Uruguay: Uruguay! We were the very first host, in 1930. Thirteen teams took part – only four from Europe. Guess who won? Uruguay! Beating Argentina 4-2. And guess what? We won again in 1950, 2-1 against Brazil!
Referee: (Blowing whistle) Next group! Group B!
Portugal: Portugal! Current European champions! In the same group as our neighbours
Spain: Spain! We hosted the World Cup in 1982 but had to wait until 2010 to win!
Morocco: Morocco!
Iran: Iran!
Referee: Wow! That’s some tough call, being in the same groups as Spain and Portugal!
Morocco: We know it!
Iran: But we will give it our best!
Referee: Splendid spirit! (Blowing whistle) Next group – Group C!
