原文:Five Memorable Quotes
1. Till death do us part.
"I'm not married to David Beckham -- I'm not even engaged to him."
England coach Sven-Goran Eriksson denies giving his captain preferential choice in the England starting lineup, even when on-field performance indicated that England may have been better served with Aaron Lennon at right midfield instead of Beckham.

"We have agreed we will take fishing rods to hunt these frogs."
Ukraine central defender Vladislav Vashchyuk offers a novel excuse for his team's woeful display against Spain, complaining that frogs were disturbing the team's sleep at their lakeside hotel in Potsdam.

3. The perfect regimen.
"I have sex, although not much lately, and I sleep a lot. I don't smoke and I don't drink alcohol -- though I do drink Coca-Cola. Can I say that?"
Italian captain Fabio Cannavaro reveals how he maintains his physical condition. If only all players had it so good.
4. Fat or fiction?

5. Don't judge a book by its cover.
