The French team has given me so much and I want to help it. I told myself I did not have much time left in soccer, and I want to profit from it to the maximum.
Fitness has always been one of the top priorities in my life because that's the way I grew up, with soccer being the sport of choice.
For me, acting in scenes with other people is like playing soccer with a bunch of legless five year olds. It's not really fair to them, but what else can I do, you know?
Books lined the shelves of bookstores like kids standing in a row to play baseball or soccer, and mine was the gangly, unathletic kid that no one wanted on their team.
I still regret that I never played soccer in high school. I chose basketball over soccer.
I grew up playing soccer and always loved playing it.
In Scotland football hooliganism has been met by banning alcohol from grounds but in England this solution has been circumnavigated
I don't think special attention should be given to an actor or a singer or a baseball player or a soccer player more than anyone else, but they do have an opinion like anyone else.
I have a very broad demographic, from the 8-year-old who knows every word to 'Ice Ice Baby' and the college kid who grew up on 'Ninja Rap' to the soccer mom and grandparent.
It is better to win ten times 1-0 than to win once 10-0.
The scoreline didn't really reflect the outcome
With no one collecting his knockdowns, what was Crouch supposed to do, juggle the ball with his head until the midfield support arrived?
If I'd just paid money to watch a soccer game, I'd want to kill someone too (once the buzz wore off and I realized where I was, because the only thing that would make me pay to watch a soccer game is perhaps a half gallon of whiskey).
I can remember certain Manchester United defeats the way most people remember family bereavements or great political events. The four-nil drubbing by Barcelona, the failure to score against West Ham, the New Year's Day calamity at home to Spurs, the mauling by Middlesborough.
Soccer's not a game that you can restrict players, especially creative players and players who have proven themselves at that level.
The game of soccer has been able to give me what I wanted out of life. I just remember being a total Tomboy and athlete as a girl, but never having a lack of opportunity.
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.
If you had to name one particular person to blame it would have to be one of the players
The dice are stacked against them
My strength is my distance. I can swim two-and-a-half soccer fields on one breath.
I've gone from being a brilliant captain of a TV soccer team to an average rugby player on a real team. I've gotten so used to ruling the roost and just saying whatever the hell I wanted, and I had to get back to reality.
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.
My message to the fans would be that hopefully I can continue to perform as consistently as I have done this season and lift a trophy for them soon.
I think we could do with being a little more adventurous in certain areas and push on that little bit more, while a bit of luck also wouldn't go amiss.
Unfortunately, at this moment in time, Robbie Keane can't hit a barn door for us.
