Hi Everton Sierra Leone
Great to have you on the website. If you want something a bit more challenging, take a look at our weekly podcasts!
How do you think Everton will do this season? Good to have Wayne Rooney back?

Hi Ramisb18
Fixtures are scheduled matches, for example, the first fixture of this season will be Arsenal v Leicester on 11 August. A knockout stage is the stages of a cup competition where a winner goes to the next round and the loser goes home; for example, a quarter-final or semi-final. Finally, go wild means to go crazy; fans often go wild when their team scores a goal!
Hope that helps,

Hi Joan
Draws happen in cup competitions. Before every round of a competition, the teams are given a number and people choose the numbers. This decides which team will play which. The group stages are the part of the competition is like a mini league. The Champions League and World Cup both have group stages at the beginning.
Hope that helps!
