The most deceptive course in football is straight at the goalposts.
In life, as in football, you won't go far unless you know where the goalposts are.
This is evangelicalism today: sensual, carnal, unconverted people that have just enough deceptive religion to drive them straight into Hell! Are you that kind of person? Or do you have new affections?
Combine speed is overrated. It might give you a good look to see what you can run in a straight line, but football's not played in a straight line.
Why isn’t it fun to watch a videotape of last night’s football game even when we don’t know who won? Because the fact that the game has already been played precludes the possibility that our cheering will somehow penetrate the television, travel through the cable system, find its way to the stadium, and influence the trajectory of the ball as it hurtles toward the goalposts!

I used to go play football matches in the morning, and Id go straight from me football game to a dance competition.

Of course Cristiano - what he has done over the last 15 years in football - is probably one of the best players ever in the history of football, so no comparison to him.
You train far more in France than in England. Here, we still see football as a game. Football is a job. There is still the mentality where training is at 11, you come in at 10:30, and when it is finished, you leave straight away.
A silly comedy needs a straight guy, and that guy needs to be as straight as possible. The moment you start playing straight you're not straight anymore, you're bent straight, so it really requires the usual serious, straight-forward analysis and research, looking into it and finding the dramatic function, all of what you do until you feel you've collected enough points to safely and securely play the part.
I can't count how many goalposts I've hit!
