Fortunately for me, its my most favorite drill, and that is finishing. However, from a young age, soccer players in this country are not taught how to properly finish, and I think you see that through the professional ranks, that we dont have that killer instinct of the forwards from other countries.
Your love makes me strong, Your hate makes me unstoppable".
Soccer and cricket were my main sports growing up. I had trials as a soccer player with a few clubs interested, Crystal Palace being one, but it was cricket which became my chosen profession.
I was surprised, but I always say nothing surprises me in football.
The ball is like a woman, she loves to be caressed.
It's better to have ten disorganized players than ten organized runners.
According to Ferguson, grey things are invisible. Apparantly its just total luck that planes manage to find aircraft carriers in the middle of the ocean.
In a bygone era, penalty-takers would put their laces through the ball and threaten to put a permanent bulge in the netting. For reasons that remain a mystery, the modern preference is for side-footed placement and so the dilemma of goalkeepers has changed from whether to take a guess at dive right or left to if they should dive at all. Or at least that ought to have been their reappraisal. Almunia was feted as the hero in Rome but had he and Doni stayed in the centre of their goal then the number of saves they made in the shoot-out would have been doubled.
We scored a goal and defended until the end with great spirit. We have a lot of young players and I hope we can keep on like this.
Who ever wins today will win the championship no matter who wins.
The league, I think, is doing well. It's growing, it's maturing, and it's becoming a better league. (on Major League Soccer)
Rupert Murdoch gave up his Australian citizenship in order to buy television stations in the United States, which is symptomatic of the way Murdoch operates. Everything is for sale, including his birthright. The Mirror is not read by soccer hooligans. It's read by ordinary people of this country. That comment is simply patronizing. But to be criticized by the Moonies and Murdoch in one breath is really just a fine moment for me.
We are on top at the moment, but not because of the club's financial power. We are in contention for a lot of trophies because of my hard work.
I don't understand referees. It appears like some players can't even be touched, but in my case, everyone can hit me as hard as they can.
Peter Shilton conceded five, you don't get many of those to the dozen
The goal was scored a little bit by the hand of God, another bit by the head of Maradona.
Red Bull is committed to providing not only quality domestic soccer, but also quality international soccer. You can't get much better than Barcelona. Our entire organization is excited about the opportunity to play one of the premier teams in the world.
For those fed up with the lack of mystery at the top of the Premiership, could I refer you to the commanding heights of the Conference. The wide points gap between first and second says we are about to witness the return to the football league of Accrington Stanley. So legendary have they become that everyone across the generations knows them, yet even those of the certain age required (you'd be pushing 60) can scarcely believe they were ever there. What proof do we have that this most Garcia Marquez of football teams was, is and yet may truly be?
I can't even spell spaghetti never mind talk Italian. How could I tell an Italian to get the ball - he might grab mine.
I always tell Cristiano before training, 'If you do stepovers on me, I will break your legs and rip up your shirt. ' I have no wish to have the mickey taken out of me all week.
