Weltmeisterschaft / World Cup Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Weltmeisterschaft / World Cup:

You have to show up in the World Cup, and in the World Cup anything can happen. Lionel Messi

Brazil goes into every World Cup expecting to win - so when it is in Brazil it is expected even more. You can't understand what the World Cup means to our country.

Ronaldinho

We did the World Cup to relaunch our international efforts, and that served as a foundation.

Gary Bettman

If I remain healthy, I can win more races, but I don't think so much about setting new records. I'm already proud to have become the leading Austrian World Cup racer.

Hermann Maier

We knew that if we had to win the World Cup, the defensive side of the game had to be better, which means bowlers will have to bowl tight and we will have to field better.

Ricky Ponting

I like English football, always have. It's just that people go on about the World Cup in 1986 and then I'm seen as the real bad boy.

Diego Maradona

If I can push myself up to the 2018 World Cup, then I'll go on. After that, I'll close the door and stop playing football.

Gianluigi Buffon

I think it's pretty crazy when I walk down in the airport and a 12-year-old boy comes up to me and says, 'Hey, I watched you at the World Cup. Great game! Great job!' I love that.

Julie Ertz

The '54 World Cup was the first time the people got the recognition back after the second World War and felt like they are proud of something you know it brought people back together and you know now we can keep our heads up again.

Jurgen Klinsmann

They knew who I was in Australia in 2006, but not to a great extent. Now, with the momentum of a second World Cup, it has gone crazy.

Timothy F. Cahill

Some have said it is the easiest group at the World Cup, but we realize it won't be like that. Germany are a tremendous side, but to be honest I don't know much about Cameroon and Saudi Arabia.

Robbie Keane

My goals are for the U.S. team to get to the second round of the World Cup and to win a championship here in the U.S. with my club team the Columbus Crew.

Brian McBride

Winning the World Cup was very special because it meant so much to so many. One thing about our country that is constant is cricket. The smile it brought to people's faces was the thing I shall always remember. It reminded me, reminded all of us, of our importance to the lives of the Indian people less lucky than we are.

MS Dhoni

After all these years, I'm finally into soccer. The World Cup is on, and my band is an international group - they're all around me, cheering in the hotel bars.

Art Garfunkel

I would love to win the Champions League once again. Winning big trophies like the Champions League or the World Cup is usually making people think, 'The players are not hungry any more.' Still, that's not what I feel.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

Brazil is a country I hold very dearly. I've got followers there who I've been interacting with for years, as well as fellow artists like Ivete Sangalo, and it also has huge figures like Pele. I'd love to go to that World Cup - I'm not sure in what capacity, but I'll definitely be there. I know that nobody wants to miss it, least of all me.

Shakira

There was a tremendous amount of disappointment in missing the World Cup finals in 1998, so they're getting excited about this one and I really think we could do well in the Far East.

Robbie Keane

Once the World Cup preparations begin there will hardly be an opportunity to do so, since we'll have to put all our energy into the team. We coaches have a list of priorities and dealing with the media isn't in the top five.

Jurgen Klinsmann

The World Cup is a truly International event.

John Motson

Well, we've made huge strides since the 1990 World Cup, USA '94, and obviously since '98. Unfortunately, those strides only register with the public once every four years.

Lamar Hunt

As a kid growing up in the back streets of Dublin I used to pretend I was playing in the World Cup with my mates out on the streets, and now I will be doing it for real.

Robbie Keane

The Confederations Cup is interesting. It served Spain very well to take part and then go on to win the 2010 World Cup. We knew the stadiums, the atmosphere, the conditions and also the difficulties of a tournament which simulated the World Cup format.

Vicente del Bosque

I've got to do everything extra to put myself in the best shape to get in the World Cup squad.

Sonny Bill Williams

Qualifying for the second stage would be a successful World Cup for us. I think we can do it.

Robbie Keane

For sure, 2010 was the best year I've ever had. It couldn't have gone any better for me. Even if I just won the Olympic gold medal, that would have made it the best year of my career and the best day of my life, period. Winning the World Cup races and the overall title just topped it off.

Lindsey Vonn

I think the World Cup is going to be bigger than what a lot of people are anticipating. At this stage in my career, when there is an opportunity, albeit a small one, of being on the team, what a great way to possibly end my career.

Al Leiter

It would make me a lot happier if I could meet up again next year with as many friends as possible from all over the world who I've met during my career. That's where the great opportunity lies, for me personally, in our role as World Cup host.

Franz Beckenbauer

If you can beat New Zealand, then you're probably going to win the World Cup.

Brian O'Driscoll

I will be a World Cup winner.

Neymar

The World Cup tournament overall and, naturally, the new stadiums at its heart, are the ideal platform to portray Germany as a positive and exceptional location, and above all of course, as a highly capable economic location.

Franz Beckenbauer

Consequently, I won just about everything I set out to win, everything bar the World Cup, of course. But even now, I don't regret that, because I was part of a team which twice reached the semi-finals.

Michel Patini

You know the marathon in my country is just exceptional. It's like soccer in England. If England win the world cup and Ethiopia win the marathon - it's the same.

Haile Gebrselassie

I was diagnosed with the illness right before the 1995 World Cup.

Jonah Lomu

At any rate, I can only see such a success having positive effects for everyone, particularly as our anticipation of the World cup would only increase further.

Franz Beckenbauer

My father and I rarely saw eye to eye when I was growing up. We saw the world differently. It was only when we were both adults that we were able to share spectacles. However, football, and particularly the World Cup, was when we, enemy combatants, could traverse trenches and be together.

Rabih Alameddine

I wasn't as fit as I would of liked to have been, going to the World Cup, but I'm not sure what difference that made.

David Beckham

Dennis Bergkamp is, in my eyes, still 'The Master'. The fact that he never won the Champions League, the European Championship, or the World Cup does not take anything away from his greatness as a player.

Robin Van Persie
