      "He can't speak Turks, but you can tell he's delighted."

      "The 33 or 34-year-olds will be 36 or 37 by the time the
      next World Cup comes around, if they're not careful."

      "There'll be no siestas in Madrid tonight."

      "They compare Steve McManaman to Steve Heighway and he's
      nothing like him, but I can see why - it's because he's a
      bit different. They are both called Steve."

      "In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg.
      But leukemia is worse still. Probably."

      "Despite his white boots, he has real pace and
      aggression."

      "Goalkeepers aren't born today until they're in their
      late 20s or 30s and sometimes not even then. Or so it
      would appear. To me anyway. Don't you think the same?"

      "The substitute is about to come on - he's a player who
      was left out of the starting line-up today. There were
      others as well."

      "The ref was vertically 15 yards away. He has a
      moustache."

      "England have the best fans in the world and Scotland's
      fans are second to none."

      "The tide is very much in our court now."

      "It's like a toaster, the ref's shirt pocket. Every time
      there's a tackle, up pops a yellow card. I'm talking
      metaphysically now of course."


      "I'd love to be a mole on the wall in the Liverpool
      dressing room at half-time. And not for the reasons that
      you're thinking of Clive."

      "The game has gone rather scrappy as both sides realise
      they could win this match or lose it or draw it even."

      "I don't think there's anyone bigger or smaller than
      Maradona. You seen the pictures as well Clive. Like an
      acorn I tells ya, just like an acorn."


      "I know what is around the corner. I just don't know
      where the corner is."

      "You can't do better than go away from home and get a
      draw."

      "...using his strength. And that is his strength, his
      strength. You could say that that's his strong point."

      "Chile have three options - they could win or they could
      lose. It's up to them, the tide is in their court now."


      "I came to Nantes two years ago and it's much the same
      today, except that it's totally different. The red light
      district is still the same mind you.

      "Though it's a lot bigger. And more expensive. I prefer
      Hamburg, more variety. There are these ladies there with
      fully formed moustaches, know what I mean."

      "Argentina are the second-best team in the world, and
      there's no higher praise than that."

      A tremendous strike which hit the defender full on the
      arm - and it nearly came off."

      "The good news for Nigeria is that they're two-nil down
      very early in the game."

      "That decision, for me, was almost certainly definitely
      wrong."

      "I think Ron will be pulling him off at half time and no
      mistakin'."

      "You'd think the Moroccans would have learnt their lesson
      by now. You can't win games without scoring goals."

      "You'd think the Cameroonians would have learnt their
      lesson now. You can't get very far with such brutal
      tackles. It's just not cricket you know."

                  Bank staff in Japan led an armed robber into its vault - then locked him
                  inside. The man armed with a knife demanded cash from staff at the UFJ
                  bank in Tsu on Honshu island. Staff say they played along with his demand
                  and led him to the vault. They say they made their move when the man,
                  thought to be a Brazilian, "dropped his guard".

                  Scotland has the highest concentration of UFO sightings on the planet,
                  according to figures released Monday. VisitScotland said around 300
                  "Unidentified Flying Objects" per year are spotted in Scotland - 0.004
                  UFOs for every square kilometre of Scotland - a rate four times as high as
                  in France or Italy, this planet's other UFO hotspots. The 2,000 UFOs are
                  spotted every year in the United States represent just 0.0002 sightings
                  per square kilometre. "This confirms that Scotland is the nearest thing
                  there is to the Costa del Sol for aliens," a VisitScotland spokesman said.

                  The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, ruled on
                  Tuesday that the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. It said said
                  the words "one nation under God" (added by Congress in 1954) violated the
                  First Amendment's Establishment Clause, which requires a separation of
                  church and state.

                  apartments widely believed to be haunted reports the South China Morning
                  Post. Gruesome murders and suicides have taken place in some of the
                  apartments, which are among 3,000 units with "unfavourable conditions"
                  being offered to help needy families find affordable housing, the newspaper

                  Police in Peru say criminals are coating ants with drugs and trying to
                  smuggle a heroin base substance into Europe. They say they've intercepted
                  a package of 5,000 giant Amazonian ants coated in opium latex.

                  A group of drinkers who congregate in a churchyard have asked bell ringers'
                  to tone down the noise. They've told officials at St Peter's Church in
                  south Croydon the sound is ruining their drinking sessions. Janet
                  Harkness, who visits the cemetery to look after her aunt's grave, said: "I
                  think the drinkers have got a sauce to complain about the bell ringers,
                  given their own behaviour."

                  Two men accused of eating human body parts have been freed by a Cambodian
                  provincial court because there is no specific law against cannibalism. 'I
                  ordered the military police to release them because there is no law to
                  charge them with,' said Nhou Tholsaid, a public prosecutor.

                  New York widow Gloria Trenchley has found a novel way to deter carjackers:

                  'Leonard always liked the open road, so keeping him in the car just
                  seemed like the most natural thing in the world. I was told that, as long

                  way he is for many years.'


                  A five-year-old Italian boy destroyed £1,000 after his grandfather told
                  him money wasn't important. The unnamed boy, from Mirabella Imbaccari,
                  Sicily, took the money from his father's wallet, completely shredded the
                  banknotes and threw the pieces out of the window, Il Nuovo website reports

                  A 95-year-old man who couldn't read three years ago has become Taiwan's
                  oldest primary school graduate. Chang Tien-chun from Hsinchu says he was
                  embarrassed when he watched his granddaughter reading and writing.

                  A five year old boy in Thailand has passed Microsoft's Office User
                  Specialist examination. The Bangkok English language newspaper The Nation
                  reports that Anji Puri got the computer bug when he was nine months old.
                  He scored 984 out of a possible 1000 in the Microsoft PowerPoint
                  proficiency test.

                  Shemuel Nahum Ben Yisrael from South Carolina who covers himself in urine
                  whenever he's arrested (so far 20 times for trespassing) is suing local
                  authorities for $10M, claiming he's been illegally imprisoned, defamed on
                  police radio, emotionally distressed and assaulted by police. Yemassee
                  police chief Sammy Rivers says he keeps buckets of waste around his
                  property and dumps it on himself each time police try to arrest him.
                  "He'd run in the house and pour paint, urine and doo doo on himself,
                  whatever he can get his hands on". Yisrael says he pours "stuff" on
                  himself because the arrests are unlawful.

                  A plan to build houses in Ireland's most famous cemetery, the final
                  resting place of some of the country's greatest patriots, political
                  leaders and artists, has been shelved amid a storm of protest. Dubbed
                  "Ghoulish Terrace" by critics, the proposal by the 170-year-old Glasnevin
                  Cemetery in north Dublin to build 11 luxury townhouses inside its walls
                  was seen as infringing on the national heritage and an exercise in
                  questionable taste.
