Famous quotes containing the words football and/or soccer:

    In football they measure forty-yard sprints. Nobody runs forty yards in basketball. Maybe you run the ninety-four feet of the court; then you stop, not on a dime, but on Miss Liberty’s torch. In football you run over somebody’s face.
    Donald Hall (b. 1928)

    If we were doing this in the Falklands they would love it. It’s part of our heritage. The British have always been fighting wars.
    —British soccer fan. quoted in Independent (London, Dec. 23, 1988)
