作为世界第一运动，足球令无数人神魂颠倒。它的魅力不仅源于球员们在球场上的杰出表演，无孔不入的传媒对圈内人士场外言行不遗余力的报道也给人们带来了更多乐趣。以下是过去一年中足球名人们的一些精彩言论：

    事情是这样：至少我现在不会再受伤了——因跖骨折断而不得不努力恢复以赶上世界杯的大卫-贝克汉姆如此看待伤病的光明一面。

    不光是卡拉克，今天整条后防线都在犯错。他来自澳大利亚，但这并不意味着他能像袋鼠那样跳得比横梁还要高——佩鲁贾队教练瑟斯-科斯米在惨败后为备受指责的守门员泽尔科-卡拉克辩护。

    If you listen to Lothar， you will get the impression he had never lost one single match in his career. He wants a position on our club‘s board of management. But I promise， as long as Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and I have some responsibility at Bayern， Lothar will not even become the groundsman ？ FC Bayern M？nchen general manager Uli Hoeness responds to criticism from the club’s former captain Lothar Matthus.

    要是听洛塔尔的，你会以为他在自己的职业生涯中一场比赛都没输过。他想进入我们俱乐部的管理层。但是我保证，只要卡尔-海因茨-鲁梅尼格和我还在拜仁管事，洛塔尔连球场管理员都当不上——拜仁慕尼黑队经理乌利-赫内斯如是回应前队长洛塔尔-马特乌斯的批评。

    If you put all the players in a sack and punched it， whoever you hit would deserve it ？ Franz Beckenbauer is perhaps a bit premature² in his judgement of Germany‘s World Cup prospects³.

    如果把所有队员装进一个大袋子里来打，无论谁挨了打他都是活该——弗兰茨-贝肯鲍尔对德国队世界杯前景的结论可能下得有些早了。

    I thought the referee⁴ would be fairer in a quarter-final match like this ？ Two disallowed⁵ goals in the World Cup defeat by Korean Republic leave Spain coach Jos？ Antonio Camacho feeling sore.

    我本来以为在这样（重要）的一场1/4决赛中裁判会更公平一点——世界杯上败给韩国的比赛中两个被吹掉的进球使西班牙队教练何塞-安东尼奥-卡马乔心中酸楚。
