" 我知道我违反了规则，但裁判没有警告。

每个人都这么做，只有抓住的人才是骗子。"

美国守门员在洛杉矶时报上说。

"我知道我违反了规则，但裁判没有警告。每个人都这么做，只有被
抓住的人才是骗子。"

What a cheater!

不过说回来，这在美国相当普遍。

骗子骗成功了就是英雄--看美国人对点球犯规的解释


俗话说："老实人吃亏"，这个世界里，老老实实循规蹈矩做事的人往
往都得输给那些会耍小聪明的人。不承认残酷不行。

《洛杉矶时报》7月11日体育版

标题："什么造就了英雄"

。。。

　　斯卡里用她的智慧的策略击败了刘英。（原文中"智慧"一词是斜体
以示强调）斯卡里知道规则里写着"守门员准备点球时，在球被踢出之前
只能在球门线上移动而不能向前移动离开球门线。"她也知道裁判可以判
提前移动犯规。但是她用谢慧琳罚的第一个点球试了试当场的瑞士裁判，
泥抠耳，（译者按，这裁判整个就是一没读过书的大傻。。。）。

　　斯卡里说："当时我抢先离开球门线来看看裁判会怎麽判，如果裁判
判犯规，没什麽。但是她没有，於是我就决定这麽干下去了。"（译者按，
某些人心比皮还黑）。

。。。

　　是不是不合规则呢？

　　"有一点点吧。"斯卡里露出恶作剧般的咧嘴一笑。（译者按，什麽叫
无耻）

。。。

　　德奇科，美国教练，守门员出身，为斯卡里辩解。他把规则书里严格
规定的解释推向了一个新的阶段。

　　他说；"你是该严格遵守规则呢还是去领会规则的精神？。。。

　　斯卡里一个人面对着十二码外的射球高手，她就得竭尽所能设法去阻
止皮球，这正是规则的精神所在。"（译者按，美国人的理解力是高。）

　　这就是一些懂得足球知识的行家们怎样让美国从中国手中夺来了世界
杯。（译者按，她欺负了人还有理了！！！译者译完後就当场气晕了。）

Bare Facts Make These Two Heroes


Chastain and Scurry made the biggest plays at the biggest time in the 
biggest game in U.S. history.

By MIKE PENNER, Times Sports Columnist

Jennifer Lopez serenaded the crowd before kickoff, Hanson
crooned their way through the national anthem, but the
biggest hitmakers on the field for the Women's World Cup final
Saturday were the Bare Naked Ladies, Briana Scurry and Brandi
Chastain, now forever linked by nothing and everything.
Before the penalty-kick shootout that decided the 1999 world
championship, Scurry, the U.S. goalkeeper, and Chastain, David
Letterman's favorite left fullback, were best known for being the
two women's soccer players you could tell without a scorecard--no
number required.

No jersey or shorts or shinguards or socks, either.
Scurry made headlines in 1996 by following through on her
pre-Olympic promise and running naked through the streets of
Athens, Ga., after the U.S. women's soccer team won the gold
medal.

Chastain made readers of Gear magazine stop and peruse
awhile with her pre-World Cup bare-but-for-the-boots modeling
assignment, a photographic study of the nude female football form,
a pair of cleats and a soccer ball.

Total pieces of clothing worn by Scurry and Chastain during
these two off-the-field forays:

Nil, nil.

Same as the China-United States score after 120 minutes of
sun-burned, lung-scorched soccer at the Rose Bowl, with the
World Cup up for grabs and both teams too battle-weary to leap
up and claim it.

So, as it did with Brazil and Italy on the same plot of grass in
another scoreless World Cup final five years earlier, it came down
to the dread scourge of international soccer, penalty kicks. There
has to be a better way, but, in the words of U.S. Coach Tony
DiCicco, "until some genius comes up with a better way," we're
stuck with it.

So Scurry and Chastain did whatever they could with it, made
the best of an unwanted situation.

Scurry made the save that ultimately separated two hopelessly
logjammed teams, stepping up--and stepping forward, a technical
breach of the FIFA rulebook--to deny China's third penalty-taker,
Liu Ying.

Everyone else who walked up to the spot--the first four
Americans, the other four Chinese--converted their kicks. China 4,
USA 4, with one kick to be taken.

By Chastain, the same player who shanked a penalty against
China in the United States' 2-1 loss to China in a tournament in
Portugal in March. The same player who found the back of the net
twice in the World Cup quarterfinal against Germany--once for the
Germans, beating Scurry to her right, and then countering for the
Americans for a second-half equalizer.

To put it another way, Chastain is unpredictable. A party gag in
a No. 6 shirt. Like an exploding can of mixed salted nuts, with a
mean left foot.

And it had been a typical Chastain romp on the pitch up to the
moment she placed the ball on the penalty spot. In the first half, she
was poised for a chance to score after China goalkeeper Gao Hong
punched Mia Hamm's corner kick right to Chastain, but she slipped
and landed on the seat of her shorts, the opportunity skittering
away. Late in the second half, with China pushing forward and
Zhang Ouying tiptoeing through the American central defense,
Chastain sprinted in from her left fullback spot to clean Zhang out
with sensational tackle.

It had been a full day for Chastain and now this: stepping up for
the decisive penalty kick, doing her best not to look Gao in the
face.

"Gao likes to get into a staring match and smile at you to make
you uneasy," Chastain said. "So I didn't look at her."

Chastain's kick won the World Cup, finding the right-hand
corner before Gao could blink. Chastain got so excited, she
temporarily lost track of time and place and acted as if she was
posing for the cameras of Gear again.

Off went the top in one delirious clean-and-jerk, leaving her clad
in a black sports bra. Chastain brandished the jersey as if it were a
lasso, whipping it over her head and the crowd into a frenzy.

"Momentary insanity," Chastain laughingly explained when asked
about her impromptu half Monty. "I just thought, 'My God, that's
the greatest moment of my life in soccer.' I just lost control, I
guess."

Scurry made it possible with her--how shall we put it?--savvy
outmaneuvering of Liu in the shootout. Scurry knows that the
rulebook states that as a goalkeeper prepares for a penalty kick, he
or she can move laterally along the goal line but not forward before
the ball is kicked. She also knows that this is a judgment call by the
referee and Scurry had previously tested the Swiss referee, Nicole
Mouidi-Petignat, on the shootout's first kick, converted by Xie
Huilin.

"I came out [early] to see what she was going to give you,"
Scurry said. "If she calls the kick back, fine. But she didn't, so I was
going to stay with it."

Scurry did it again against Liu, knocked the shot away, heard no
whistle and the United States had the edge it would need to finally
break the stalemate.

Illegal?

"A little bit," Scurry said with a mischievous grin.

DiCicco, a former goalkeeper, defended Scurry's decision to
push a strict interpretation of the rulebook to the outer limits.
"You've got to stretch it," DiCicco said. "Sometimes in America,
we lack so much sophistication [in international competition].

Sometimes in America, we play exactly by the written rule.

"Do you go strictly by the rule or the spirit of the rule? It's like
that rule in baseball when a player's sliding into second base. The
rule says you're not supposed to interfere with the fielder, but you
ever see a guy sliding in to take out the shortstop to break up a
double play? That's the spirit of the rule.

"Same thing with Bri. You're out there, alone, against somebody
who's pretty damn good at putting the ball in the net from 12 yards.
You've got to get any edge you can. And that's the spirit of the
rule."

And that's how the United States stripped the World Cup from
China. By a couple of veterans who have the know-how.
