Her teeth were like a soccer crowd, crammed in.
I was the kid who always liked to take the ball down to the school even in my free time, kick it against the wall, juggle it in the front yard and so it was kind of a perpetual state of playing soccer for me.
I'm as happy as I can be-but I have been happier.
It is better to win ten times 1-0 than to win once 10-0.
The first task is to get to know the players really well-watching them as individuals in training and in match play-to see what is good in their natural game. Then, and only then, can we begin to outline the general tactics.
I can see the carrot at the end of the tunnel.
Give a man a soccer ball, he plays for a moment. Teach a man to play soccer, he plays for a life time.
I watched Italia '90 with my Mum and Dad and my brother, you know, leaping around the house when the penalties were on. . . It would be great to be part of that, to have that kind of impact.
Chelsea's players, coaches and agents are now football's wealthiest millionaires. Surely the billions taken from the Russian people by an oligarch in questionable privatisations couldn't be better spent?
This is a game between players from 12 national sides, a game that if you have a friend in China, in Brazil, in Qatar. . . in half the world he wants to watch. I was thinking of this game when I signed for Chelsea.
In England everything is liberalised. Within certain boundaries and rules everybody can do what he likes. Maybe London's society has a different tempo, a different dynamic. London is fast, productive, creative but it is not England. If you want to transfer that to football, you could say: in the four big English clubs and maybe in the one or two behind them there is a top level. Everything that comes after that rather mirrors English society. It's honest, fair and hard, sometimes also fast, but not always so perfect.
I've never really liked the Yanks. . . . You can't trust people who pick up the ball all the time when they play football.
What I said to them at half time would be unprintable on the radio.
When I saw contestants fighting for their lives on 'The Biggest Loser,' I realized I just wanted to be healthy - to have fun playing soccer with my son or teaching my daughter to shoot hoops. Then it was so much easier to say no to carbs, soda, or dessert, and the weight just came off.
I never promise anything. I don't promise anything to my mum. I don't promise anything to the supporters.
He lived in a fantasy world. There was not a day when he didn't add some Mickey Mouse story about a club that wanted him. First of all, he came in and told me that Arsenal wanted to buy him, then the next week it was Manchester Utd, then the next week it was Real Madrid. He made it clear that he did not want to be at the club so, in the end, there was only one thing I could do - send him to Wigan.
His left foot is fantastic. It's like Mozart. God gave Freddy the gift to play soccer. If he is prepared mentally and physically, nobody will stop him. (on Freddy Adu)
Martin O'Neill, standing, hands on hips, stroking his chin.
When you've got a player who does what he does at that pace this late in the game than you know you've got an invaluable talent.
Did you used to play for Barcelona? Because that's not Barcelona football.
