From the Daily Prophet's Quidditch correspondent in the Patagonian desert, Ginny Potter. | |

Nigeria 400 - Fiji 160 | |
|
可憐的斐濟隊搜捕手約瑟夫·斯努卡，他試圖證明自己球隊能以160比400慘敗在奪冠熱門尼日利亞隊的手上。 |
Pity Fijian Seeker Joseph Snuka as he tries to justify his side's bruising 400 – 160 defeat at the hands of tournament favourites Nigeria. |
|
在比賽的初始階段，斐濟隊的打擊手昆迪亞·恩加拉塞和納林德·辛格就沒有尼日利亞的同行阿利科·奧科耶和默西·奧朱古那樣兇狠。搏格給斐濟的追蹤手造成了嚴重傷害，他們在第一個小時裡只有一個進球，而尼日利亞隊卻進了四十個。 |
In the early stages of the game Fijian Beaters Quintia Qarase and Narinder Singh lacked the ferocity of their Nigerian counterparts Aliko Okoye and Mercy Ojukwu. The Bludgers did serious damage to the Fijian Chasers, who managed only a single goal during the first hour, compared with Nigeria's forty. |
|
讓評論員困惑、斐濟隊球迷憤怒、尼日利亞人嘲笑的是，搜捕手斯努卡選擇在第141分鐘抓住飛賊，而當時他的球隊正以400比10落後。雖然存在搜捕手通過抓住飛賊的方式縮小球隊失分差距的先例（最著名的當屬最近一次維克多·喀浪在1994年的決賽上抓住飛賊），但是在斯努卡抓住飛賊時，他的對手塞繆爾·埃奎亞諾離得還遠。斯努卡以前曾被隊友稱為利己主義者，而他如今的舉動並不會改變他的聲譽。 |
To the bewilderment of commentators, the fury of Fijian supporters and the jeers of the Nigerians, Seeker Snuka chose to capture the Snitch in the 141st minute, when his team was trailing 400-10. While there is precedent for a Seeker choosing to catch the Snitch if so doing will minimise the margin by which their team are about to lose (the most famous recent occasion being Viktor Krum's Snitch capture in the 1994 final), Snuka's counterpart Samuel Equiano was some distance away when he chose to snatch the Snitch from the air. Snuka has previously been dubbed an egoist by teammates and today's actions will do little to change his reputation. |

斐濟隊經理兼教練赫克托·波羅波羅在賽後只說了一句話：「我要殺了他。」 |
Fijian manager and trainer Hector Bolobolo's only comment after the match was 'I'm going to kill him.' |
|
Nigeria will face the winner of the Japan versus Poland match. |
