恭喜德國策劃了一次很了不起的世界盃。從一個球員的角度看，舉辦的很出色，而且我知道從球迷們的角度來看也是一樣。場館很棒、很新，有著極佳的設備而且總是滿坐；交通很有效率、旅館也是頂尖的；而且每個人難以置信的樂於助人。他們也都能說出無懈可擊的英文，這真的很有幫助！他們提供了我們球員所可能需要的一切東西。
很多我的朋友和家人都去了德國，而且他們也都講了對世界盃的驚喜。他們喜歡場館，他們對在德國能夠如此輕易又便宜的旅行感到印象深刻，而且他們都醉心於安排在所有城市的球迷慶祝活動-每個城市都有大螢幕，而且有一堆為支持者所安排的活動。他們說，隨著球迷可以輕鬆自如的混雜在一起，一起唱歌打發時間、並且真的去享受足球，對於創造一個真正的節慶氣氛有很大的效果。在那樣的感覺下，有時候會覺得身為一個足球員是一件遺憾的事-因為你總是不能只去體驗世界盃是多麼盛大的一件事，也不能好好欣賞它可以變成多大的全球慶典。
Congratulations to Germany for organising a fantastic world cup. From a player’s point of view everything was exceptional and, having spoken to friends, I know that the same is true from the fans’ perspective as well. The stadiums were wonderful, very modern, with excellent facilities and always full; the transport was efficient and the hotels excellent; and everyone was fantastically helpful. They also all spoke impeccable English, which helps! The players were provided with everything we could possibly need.

A lot of my friends and family went to Germany and they all spoke wonders of the tournament too. They loved the stadiums, they were impressed with how easy and cheap it was to get about and they have all been raving about the fans festivals that have been laid on in all the cities – every city had giant screens and lots of special events laid on for the supporters. That, they said, helped to create a real party atmosphere, with fans mixing trouble-free and spending time singing songs together and really enjoying the football. In that sense, it is sometimes a shame to be involved as a footballer – you don’t always appreciate just what a huge event the world cup is, how much of a global party it can become.

One thing my friends said really struck me. They kept telling me that all the stadiums were incredibly clean. The reason was a simple but effective idea: every drink came with a Euro deposit for the “glass” (it was plastic). That automatically meant the everyone took their glasses back at the end of the game instead of leaving them around and letting rubbish pile up, because that way they got a bit of their money back. Even in the simple things, the Germans arranged a great world cup. Let’s hope South Africa can do the same in four years’ time.
有一件我朋友跟我說的事情真的打動了我。他們不斷跟我說所有的球場都是絕對的乾淨。原因是一個簡單但是有效的方法：每罐飲料買來都要加上一筆歐元保證金(飲料是塑膠包裝的)。那自動代表了一件事：每個人都在比賽結束時帶走了他們的罐子，沒有留下，而且讓垃圾集中在一起，因為這樣他們可以拿一點錢回來。即使是在微小的事情上，德國世界盃仍安排的很好。讓我們期待南非四年後可以做到同樣的地步。

Owen真的大稱讚德國耶XDD...
不過還是暗藏笑點--->They also all spoke impeccable English, which helps!
噗.....歐文應該對4年前去日本的世界盃英文不通而感到很頭痛XDDD.......
還有最後一句，人家FIFA主席都說要找到像德國辦這麼好的國家大概沒有了，你還對南非這樣奢求XDDD....
