    My personal favourite soccer quote is possibly by Steve Lomas, from after a poor result in a Northern Ireland game against some no-hopers like Armenia:

    "It was a tough game, they had 11 internationals on the pitch."

    George Ham(ilton) - "he's pulling him off, the spainish manager is pulling his captain off"
