i copied and pasted em from different sites, anyway, the question is: ARE FOOTBALLERS AND MANAGERS ALWAYS SO STUPID WHEN IT COMES TO SPEAKIN?

Answer 1

My God you must have been bored writing this question

Answer 2

some of my favorites from the Italians:

“I'll be in the team for Wednesday's Italian Cup final. We've yet to decide whether it's on the bench or from the first minute.” -Francesco Totti

“When you talk for days about a result, a 2-2 result, not just a draw, and then it comes out like this, well I'm very surprised.” -
Gianluigi Buffon

“Maybe it's better like this. Without too much pressure, this team can go far.” - Fabio Cannavaro

Answer 4

Stupid Soccer Quotes

Answer 5

I understand Hugo Sanchez's enthusiasm about soccer, but I really hope that he doesn't get struck by a thunderbolt from thr Heavens because of his blasphemic quote.

Answer 6

Most of them are really stupid, but few of them from great players are correct and need to be understood.For eg the Henry one, " Sometimes in foot...imp to score".He was talking in a post-match show where he was asked why Arsenal lacked thier passing flair, on that he told a few things followed with that sometimes by showing too much of flair u miss out on the main goal of scoring goals. So, most of the quotes r stupid, but some of them r a part of a big conversation and when a particular quote is singled out from them it makes no sense.

Answer 7

These are my favorites:

There's no in between - you're either good or bad. We were in between.
Gary Lineker

'I've had 14 bookings this season - 8 of which were my fault, but 7 of which were disputable.'
- Paul Gascoigne

'I'm as happy as I can be - but I have been happier.' - Ugo Ehiogu

Answer 8

'We lost because we didn't win.' - Ronaldo





"Alex Ferguson is the best manager I've ever had at this level. Well, he's the only manager I've actually had at this level. But he's the best manager I've ever had."
-David Beckham

Answer 9

LMAO those are funny, I got one too

I'll be in the team for Wednesday's Italian Cup final. We've yet to decide whether it's on the bench or from the first minute.” - Francesco Totti

Answer 10

Andriy SHEVCHENKO (UKR)
It would've been difficult for us to draw tonight, never mind win. We faced a very good Italy team who deserved to win. They exploited the opportunities created by their star players. We played well, we attacked a lot and did everything in our power. We played with a lot of courage. To win you need to give everything and be lucky. We were unlucky this evening. The only consolation is we’ve been eliminated by my Italian friends. I’ll be supporting them now.



my favorite quote.
