Nothing is a violent as football and I bet you like. Just say you don't like it, or can't identify, don't come up with excuses like "It's too violent" while you wear some team's NFL jersey.
Professional football is the most violent thing your eyes have ever seen.
The good thing is I don't put the ball in my right hand and I'm predominantly left-handed when I'm running the ball. I just have to take care of the football and even if I have two hands that are 100 percent, I still can't turn the ball over. It's just something I have to mentally prepare for, and I think I'm strong enough to do that.
Sometimes a minute is really the difference between success and failure. There are times when you finish with ten seconds left, and one extra minute could've meant everything. You almost have to think of it as a sporting-event type of atmosphere: A football game is sixty minutes long. Think of how many games could be won or lost if the team had one more minute?
When I finish playing football, I would like to work with kids and sleep!
We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football.
My ultimate goal is for that next generation coming up, who didn't see me play, go, 'Oh, he used to play football?'
Do ballet and play football. Sing and dance. Laugh and cry.
I am very athletic, actually, and I'm good at most sports. But I was never a successful athlete, because I have a lot of trouble with authority. To be a good athlete, you have to have sort of a military attitude. You have to enjoy being coached, and that was not something I ever liked. But more than that, I don't like practice, and coaches hate anybody that doesn't like practice. If you saw me throwing a football, you'd say, "Wow, he knows how to throw a football." But put me on a field, I'm not gonna stand out.
I was obsessed with football when I was growing up.
In football, I need full concentration even though I really enjoy it.
It has all happened so quickly, but it's exciting, I just wanna get back to playing football you know.
The bottom line is that I wanted to come back and play in the Premier League again and wake up on Saturday morning and really fancy getting out there and playing in front of this fantastic support, scoring goals and enjoying football. (on returning to the premiership)
I have never thought of a scenario where international football was not a massive part of our [England] game.
Everton have a healthy list of injuries.
A lot of people have lost interest in watching England play. To get motivated to watch international football, you need your country to be having some form of success and England haven't had any for a long time now.
I don't particularly enjoy watching international football in the way that I used to. It hurts me to say that, but it's true.
Football is the No. 1 sport in America.
Football is controlled violence, but it is violence, which people have loved to watch since the gladiatorial contests in ancient Rome.
The arrangement bore the same relation to actual finance as fantasy football bears to the NFL.
I'm taking T.O., every day... He gives me the whole football field.
You can see the relief on Falcao's shoulders.
Talking about football on TV is something I can do with my eyes closed.
It's just that with football, when you don't get the ball, you can't show your talents and that's always been something in the back of my mind.
Never played football, but I'm an athlete. I'm a competitor.
