My free-kick secret? I just look at the net and say take the kick, Cristiano.
Walsall have given City more than one anxious moment amongst many anxious moments
At the Argentina game, how would you have guessed that Darren Anderton would have gone off with cramp?
I didn't want to be the rebel who was bottom of the class, so I worked hard. They wanted me to stay on for A-Levels, but football came calling - that was my real love.
When I was playing soccer at the age of 14, the first thing we'd do before going out onto the field would be to climb up on one another's thighs and massage the legs; it was a regular thing. None of us had a thought of being gay, absolutely not, and it's the same with most bodybuilders.
I'm a total soccer freak. I total soccer freak. Absolute total.
Yorkie has officially retired about 5 times. . . The man's a clown. . . People are going on about the game and agents and directors of football and managers losing their jobs, but we should be worried about people like him. . . Clowns.

They do not even have the philanthropic excuse that softens the otherwise unendurable tedium of testimonial matches.

Get the best player because whether it's soccer or whether it's anything else the team with the best players wins. So focus your energy on getting the best and getting rid of the weakest.
Everybody has down times and stuff that they have to work through. I worked through that stuff because I've always wanted to be playing soccer.
I support building a soccer stadium in the District of Columbia, and I support investing public dollars to get it done.
Players taught to watch the man with the ball leaves them totally unprepared for the next move, which is always dictated by a player without the ball.
I keep to a minimum dialect, in-jokes about football (soccer) teams and soap opera characters, so as not to lose North American readers.
Ronaldo can do whatever he wants as a footballer. There are some things he does with the ball that make me touch my head and wonder how he did it.
He is as tough as anything. You can crack him once, but he won't let it bother him. He's back on his feet in no time and getting on with it. He is a strong character and a great sight when he's heading for goal.
A few question marks are being asked in the Honduran defence
I played English football - soccer - instead of American football, because we couldn't afford the equipment.
