I swim. I do a little bit of surfing. I would say I'm a beginner at surfing. I run. I cycle. I play a little bit of soccer.
I have never played against anybody like that in my life and I was pleased to be taken off.
I am delighted to have you play football. I believe in rough, manly sports. But I do not believe in them if they degenerate into the sole end of any one's existence. I don't want you to sacrifice standing well in your studies to any over-athleticism; and I need not tell you that character counts for a great deal more than either intellect or body in winning success in life. Athletic proficiency is a mighty good servant, and like so many other good servants, a mighty bad master.
My father was never around. But I glorified my father, and I was always daddy's little girl. He was my first soccer coach.
It is a game before a product, a sport before a market, a show before a business.

Vladimir Putin bribed a soccer official with a Picasso painting so he would support Russia's bid to host the 2018 World Cup. Putin was like, 'It wasn't Picasso, just picture of what his face would look like if he said no. ' (Nose over here, eye up here, ear in forehead. )
When you're surrounded by flowers, you breath better.
You cannot say that you are happy when you don't win.
The first World Cup I remember was in the 1950 when I was 9 or 10 years old. My father was a soccer player, and there was a big party, and when Brazil lost to Uruguay, I saw my father crying.
Do you know who I am? Why, have you forgotten?
The game must have been past my bed-time.
I don't hold water with that theory
Look at my haircut. I am ready for the war. The objective is to win the Premiershp. I don't want to dominate, to finish without defeat, record points or goals or consecutive wins. The Premiership is so difficult you cannot be focused on that. I just think about winning.
We played soccer a lot with our friends and at school. We weren't on an official team or anything, but we'd definitely be up for it in gym or in after-school pickup games where we live.
There's more chance of me flying Concorde to the moon blindfolded than there is of you taking Wales to the World Cup.
I'm not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.
I don't like soccer. I think it makes you soft. And by the way, you telling me it's the biggest whatever in the World, look, they drink tea everywhere too; they're pussies, you understand? I want some coffee.
