The most famous Quotes in Football

1. “Football isn't a contact sport, it's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.”
--Duffy Daugherty

Perhaps Mr. Daugherty is trying to eliminate the notion that football is an unmanly “contact” sports. Believe it or not, a lot of people think, or at least give tease to the nature of football wherein large, muscular men get close to one another trying to grab the ball. I don’t see the harm in that.

2. “Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors.”
--Frank Gifford

3. “We can't run. We can't pass. We can't stop the run. We can't stop the pass. We can't kick. Other than that, we're just not a very good football team right now.”
--Bruce Coslet

If you can’t do all those things you said you can’t do, you’re never a good football team.

4. “I feel like I'm the best, but you're not going to get me to say that.”
--Jerry Rice

You already said it dude.

5. "You guys line up alphabetically by height."
--Bill Peterson

This may take a while.

6. “We've got to find a way to win. I'm willing to start cheating.”
--Marv Cook

Well that turned out well!

7. “I have seen women walk right past a TV set with a football game on and - this always amazes me - not stop to watch, even if the TV is showing replays of what we call a "good hit," which is a tackle that causes at least one major internal organ to actually fly out of a player's body.”
--Dave Barry

Women aren’t interested in things their men spend time on besides their women.

8. “There's no substitute for guts.”
-- Paul "Bear" Bryant

How about glory?

9. “Most football teams are temperamental. That's 90% temper and 10% mental.”
--Doug Plank

10. “Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up.”
--Knute Rockne

I bet Mr. Plank would beg to differ.

Spain ........ The 2010 Champions

Spain won the World Cup for the first time on Sunday, Andres Iniesta netting in extra-time to see off Holland 1-0 in Johannesburg and hand the Dutch their third final loss.

With just four minutes of extra-time remaining, substitute Fernando Torres slid over a cross from the left which was partially cleared as far as Cesc Fabregas and his pass found Iniesta lurking in the area.

The Barcelona star promptly set his sights and fired past Dutch keeper Maarten Stekelenburg.

Five minutes earlier, the Dutch were down to 10 men when referee Howard Webb red-carded John Heitinga for a foul on Iniesta.

A niggly game saw a proliferation of yellow cards and missed chances at both ends - most notably in the first period of extra-time when Spanish substitute Fabregas raced onto a pass from Iniesta only to see Dutch keeper Maarten Stekelenburg block his shot.

Then fellow substitute Jesus Navas looked odds on to score but his shot deflected off Giovanni van Bronckhorst and hit the side-netting.
