Trophy’s Best Friend

最佳“杯”友

A few months before the 1966 World Cup, the Jules Rimet trophy, which is awarded to each tournament’s winner, went on display at a London stamp exhibition. Despite 24-hour surveillance, thieves managed to break into the trophy’s display case and make off with it. A flurry of ransom notes, negotiations and arrests followed, but none of the clues led police to the trophy. Six days after it disappeared, a man named David Corbett and his dog, Pickles, were taking a stroll in London’s Beulah Hill district when Pickles began sniffing a newspaper-wrapped parcel. The trophy had been recovered, making Pickles an immediate international hero. England went on to win its first and only World Cup that year.

1966年世界杯开赛前几个月，作为冠军战利品的雷米特杯正在伦敦邮展向公众展示。尽管全天候监控，小偷还是打破了展示柜，拿走奖杯逃之夭夭。紧随而至的是索要赎金，谈判，被捕归案，然而关于奖杯去处警方毫无线索。失窃后的6天，一个名叫David Corbett的不明真相的群众和他的狗狗Pickles正在伦敦Beulah Hill 区遛街，狗狗突然对着一坨报纸包一个劲儿的闻。奖杯找到了！狗狗成了国际英雄。那一年英格兰第一次也是迄今唯一一次折冠。（译者注：枉我那么支持，今年英格兰还不如那条狗狗靠谱叻）

No Shoes, No Seeding

没鞋，别赛！

Although India qualified for the 1950 World Cup in Brazil, the team chose to withdraw from the competition. Financial concerns played a role in the team’s decision, but so did FIFA’s requirement that all players wear shoes during matches: The Indian footballers were only accustomed to playing barefoot at the time.

1950年巴西世界杯，印度队尽管入围决赛圈，但球队却选择退赛。除了财政问题，国际足联的规矩也是重要原因，因为球员比赛必须穿鞋，而印度人在那个年代偏喜欢光脚踢球。

Hotheaded

一头热！

During the final match of the 2006 World Cup, France’s star midfielder, Zinedine Zindane, abruptly charged at the Italian defender Marco Materazzi, striking him in the chest with his head. The bizarre assault shocked spectators and commentators, leading some to believe that Zidane, who is of Algerian descent, was reacting to a racial slur. A few days later, the truth came out: Matterazi had insulted the Frenchman’s sister. The incident received a massive amount of media attention and even inspired a song entitled “Coup de Boule” (“Headbutt”), which topped the French and Belgian charts and went viral on the Internet.

2006年世界杯决赛，法国中场齐达内突然用脑袋冲撞意大利厚盾马特拉齐，这一壮举令在场观众和评论员为之一震。有人揣测说齐达内是阿尔及利亚后裔，八成是受到了种族中伤。数天后，真相大白：马特拉齐其实中伤的是齐姐姐。这一插曲招致媒体广泛关注，有人还为此赋歌一曲“Coup de Boule”（头撞撞），这首歌登上法国和比利时音乐榜，并在网路迅速传开。

One for the Blooper Reel

搞笑一幕！

The 1994 World Cup, hosted by the United States at Chicago’s Soldier Field, opened with a moment of pure comic relief. The American singer Diana Ross, the main performer at the introductory ceremonies, led an elaborate song-and-dance number that was to culminate in a triumphant shot. Ross went wide of the net and hit the post, causing the entire goal to split open and fall apart.

1994年美国世界杯开幕式在芝加哥战士球场举行，整个开幕式充满了轻松搞笑的气氛。美国歌星戴安娜.罗斯（注：老友记里有一集钱德勒调侃莫妮卡头发的桥段就是说她）是开幕式的主要演出嘉宾，在一段精心编排的歌舞之后，以一记惊天射门引爆全场。当时，罗斯站到门前，射门，击中门柱，整个球门被踢成两半摊到在地

The Pantsing of Peppino

Peppino的脱拉裤

One of the greatest Italian footballers of all time, Guseppe “Peppino” Meazza played a crucial role in his country’s 1934 World Cup victory. He was as famous for his lifestyle off the field as for his shooting and dribbling prowess. According to legend, Meazza routinely slept in brothels on nights before matches and would stumble onto the field for practice several hours after the rest of his teammates. In one if his most memorable moments, Meazza’s shorts fell down as he took a penalty kick against Brazil in the 1938 World Cup. Unfazed, he picked them up with one hand and made the shot past the Brazilian goalie, who was still busy laughing, sending Italy into its second consecutive World Cup final.

意大利足球史上最伟大的球员之一——Guseppe “Peppino” Meazza 在1934年意大利夺冠历程中曾经扮演了重要角色。如同他的射门和盘带功夫一样，退役后的生活同样令他名声鹊和。据小道消息透露， Meazza在比赛前夜夜都要去天上人间哈皮哈皮，然后等其他队友都训练结束了才晃晃悠悠练习数把钟头。他一生中最值得纪念的一刻便是1938年世界杯同巴西一战，当时他正准备踢点球，结果...杯具了——裤子掉下来了。不过哥很淡定，拉上裤子，一蹴而就。巴西门将还没走出被雷的瞬间，就只能眼睁睁的看着意大利晋级第二轮！

Self-Medicating

悟本真经

Lev Yashin, the great Soviet goalkeeper, played in three World Cups (1958, 1962 and 1966). Known as the “Black Spider” for his signature all-black outfit and ability to block balls as if he had more than two arms, he was voted best goalie of the century by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics. When asked about his pre-match routine, he said that the trick was to "have a smoke to calm your nerves, then toss back a strong drink to tone your muscles.”

前苏联最伟大的门将雅辛被人称作“黑蜘蛛”，不光是因为他比赛时一袭黑装，更重要的他那千手观音的扑救本领。雅辛总共参加了1958年，1962年和1966年三届世界杯，并荣膺国际足联历史统计投票选出的史上最佳门将。当被问到赛前准备时，雅辛说道："秘诀就是，抽两口定神，喝两杯强肌！"
