A FOOTBALL MATCH
Mr Green is very fond of football. He is a football fan. He thinks that the Blackpool team(1) are very good. But he knows that they are not as good as the Manchester City team. Manchester City beat Blackpool three to one in the last match.
When the Manchester City players come to Blackpool next Saturday the Football Ground will be crowded.
If the day is fine it will be very difficult to get tickets. That’s why Mr Green has booked tickets in advance.
Next Friday Mr Green is going to have a Russian guest: Sedov is coming to Blackpool on business. Mr Green will meet him at the station and bring him to the hotel in his car. On Saturday they will go to the Blackpool Football Ground.

"I ʹwonder if ↘Harris is playing," says Mr Green. "ʹWho does he ↘play for?" ͵asks Sedov. "↘Manchester City. He’s their top ↘scorer. He ʹgot a ʹ1eg ↘injury a couple of weeks ago. If he ʹplays to ↗day ≀ the ↘Manchester City ↗team are ʹsure to ↘win."

Notes
(1) the Blackpool [ʹblækpu:l] team, the Manchseter [ʹmænʧɪstə] City team. Команды названы по имени городов —Блэкпула и Манчестера.
Собственные имена существительные, выступающие в качестве названия футбольной (хоккейной) команды, обычно согласуются с глаголом в форме множественного числа и заменяются личным местоимением they. Существительное team (чаще в сочетании с собственным именем) также может согласовываться с глаголом в форме множественного числа, если говорящий хочет подчеркнуть, что речь идет об игроках команды.
(2) Here they come! Вот они идут! Here he comes! Вот он идет!
(3) they wait for the match to begin они ждут начала матча
(4) will give Blackpool a lead даст команде Блэкпула преимущество
