Football 足球
特快英语每周一个话题，今天的话题是你对足球最初的记忆是什么？
来自南非的Matthew Booth和来自尼日利亚的Peter Odemwingie对于1990年的意大利世界杯记忆犹新，因为当时喀麦隆队的Roger MIlla在进了一球之后跳了一只奇怪的舞来庆贺。
今天就一起来听听英国人怎么说，而你的看法有事什么呢？
Matthew Booth, South Africa:
My earliest memory would probably be the 1990 World Cup in Italy. Seeing Roger Milla and Cameroon do so well, I think was a particularly proud moment for Africans, you know. His celebration at the corner flag will always be a stand-out memory for me.
Peter Odemwingie, Nigeria:
Well, I watched Italia ’90. Of course as an African, I remember the team of Cameroon and the dance of Roger Milla after scoring his goals.
Did you know…? 你知道吗…?
Fact
Most goal keeps dive to the left or the right, to save a goal. However research shows they would be better of standing still in the middle!
