For the inpatient:

It's a game of two halves.
The ball is round and the game lasts 90 minutes.
After the game is before the game.
The round thing has to go in the rectangular thing.
There is only one possibility: victory, defeat or a draw.
When the man in black whistles, the referee can no longer change anything.
Sometimes you lose, sometimes the others win.
Milan or Madrid is the most important thing in Italy.
The Swedes are no Dutchmen -- we saw that very clearly.
Football has become the number one (sport) in France. Handball too.
The score is currently 1:1. But it could also have been the other way around.
The chances are currently 50:50 or even 60:60.
You don't always need to have an absolute majority behind you, sometimes 51 percent is enough.

That was good, but no-one can top the Madden. It took multiple men to make that list...John has one all to himself.

German soccer pros' quotes are almost as notorious for crudeness as their haircuts.

"If the quarterback throws the ball in the endzone and it is caught, that's gonna be a touchdown."

What if it is caught by the opposing team?
