At times, European football can be very slow but it speeds up in the final third.
I wouldn't give up European football. It's very enjoyable.
Most drugs work on only about a third of the population, they do no damage to another third, and the final third can have negative consequences.
When my two boys were growing up and asking me about what I did and what kind of player I was I showed them all the matches from the European Championships in 1988 when we beat Germany in the semi-final and won the final against Russia.
I'm a Benedictine Nun in outlook; I divide my time evenly so one third is spent in academe, another third on writing and the final third on television and radio.
I was adapted to European football after playing in Germany for three years, but English football is very different to the Bundesliga.
Xavi has won the Champions League three times, the European Championship twice and the World Cup. He's a real football player, a man who focuses on his football, hard work and training instead of the glamour, and that is why he has stayed at such a high level for so long.
I grew up in Europe, and I used to like those very slow-moving European films. I've been contaminated by the American TV culture, and I just want things to move faster now.
Why do 'slow down' and 'slow up' mean the same thing? Why is the third hand on the watch called the second hand?
Many of the things the slow food people honor were innovations within historical times. Somebody had to be the first European to eat a tomato.
Football is one-third offense, one-third defense, and one-third special teams.
Anytime you slow the speeds down, racing will always be better.
What we should grasp, however, from the lessons of European history is that, first, there is nothing necessarily benevolent about programmes of European integration; second, the desire to achieve grand utopian plans often poses a grave threat to freedom; and third, European unity has been tried before, and the outcome was far from happy.
Being Welsh means you sometimes get exposed to international football earlier. Again, that helps player development, speeds up their thought process in a different kind of environment.
European teams have always shied away from South American football. They struggle to get to grips with it. The South American game is more technical and about keeping possession, while European football is more dynamic, physical and direct.
If you like, there is a Guinness time. The reason for that it's fundamental. It is not that we have to keep shortening the time. It turns out all molecular and biological systems have speeds of the atoms move inside them, the fastest possible speeds are determined by their molecular vibrations and this speeds is about a kilometre per second.
Football's football, it can change very quickly. I know that, I've experienced that many times.
