看上去，1978年的6月24日是足球明星誕生的日子。像日本的前鋒中村俊?，阿根廷的中場裏克爾梅，西班牙的路易斯加西亞，瑞典的米卡埃爾尼爾松都在這一天出生。當然，還不包括在這一天進入26歲的巴西後衛西西尼奧和剛19歲的梅西。

　　此外，1958年的6月24日，巴西隊在斯德哥爾摩以5比2戰勝了法國隊。貝利在此役中完成了他世界盃歷史上第一次也是唯一一次的“帽子戲法”。一個神話誕生了。

　　原文:Birthdays

　　24 June 1978 was quite the day for footballers, it seems, as Japan striker Shunsuke Nakamura, Argentina playmaker Juan Riquelme, Spain’s Luis Garcia and Mikael Nilsson of Sweden all turn 28 today. The celebrations do not end there either, since Brazil defender Cicinho is 26 and Argentinian prodigy Lionel Messi hits 19.

　　A FIFA World Cup blast from the past

　　24 June 1958, Brazil 5-2 France, Stockholm

　　Five days after opening his FIFA World Cup account against Wales, Pele destroyed semi-final opponents France with his first-ever finals' hat-trick. A legend was in the making, and would gather even more pace thanks to two goals against hosts Sweden in the Final.
