Bulgaria 410 – New Zealand 170 | |
|
丹尼斯·莫恩在第106分钟被罚出场外后，新西兰队经理查理·贝弗斯托克说自己“比跟一群恶婆鸟关在一起还要糟心”。这一损失无疑是让新西兰以170比410不敌保加利亚的一个关键因素，许多人都因此觉得能出线就不错了。 |
New Zealand manager Charlie Baverstock proclaimed himself 'madder than a bloke who's been locked in a box of Fwoopers' after Dennis Moon was sent off in the 106th minute. This loss was undoubtedly a crucial factor in New Zealand's 410 - 170 loss to a Bulgarian side that many feel was lucky to qualify at all. |

追球手莫恩和博格米尔·莱弗斯基的空中对撞从许多的角度看都像个意外事件。不过裁判乔治斯·泽纳基斯所处的位置更好，他判定莫恩是故意造成的碰撞。不管泽纳基斯是否受了莫恩和莱弗斯基长期不和的传言的影响，他的裁决无疑让比赛转向了对保加利亚有利的一面。 |
The mid-air collision of Chasers Moon and Bogomil Levski appeared accidental from many parts of the stadium. However, referee Georgios Xenakis was better positioned and judged that Moon had deliberately caused the crash. Whether or not Xenakis was influenced by rumours that Moon and Levski have a long-standing feud, his decision undoubtedly turned the match in Bulgaria's favour. |

在过去五十年中曾两次获得亚军的保加利亚队如今仍旧让人眼前一亮，他们以令人印象深刻的比分击败了六个强壮的新西兰人。其中的两个球员——莱弗斯基和沃卡诺夫，他们的父亲曾参加了1994年那场让18岁的威克多尔·克鲁姆扬名世界的比赛。而本届世界杯的头条新闻，无疑就是退役的克鲁姆重返赛场。三十八岁的他现在是比赛中年龄最大的球员，还因为挤掉了一个年轻球员的位置而受到了所谓“感情用事”的尖锐批评。不过，克鲁姆还是抢在二十一岁的纳波·伯尼卡之前抓到了飞贼，这无疑展现出了他曾经的辉煌，也让保加利亚的球迷们欢欣鼓舞。 |
Twice runners-up in the last fifty years, the current Bulgarian side showed flashes of inspiration as they racked up an impressive score against the six-strong Kiwis. Two players – Levski and Vulchanov – had fathers on the 1994 side that introduced an eighteen-year-old Viktor Krum to the world. One of the headline stories of the current World Cup is, of course, Krum's re-emergence from retirement. At thirty-eight he is the oldest player in the competition, and has faced stiff criticism for taking the place of a younger player on what some have called 'sentimental' grounds. However, Krum's capture of the Snitch ahead of twenty-one-year-old Ngapo Ponika unquestionably showed traces of his old brilliance, and delighted the Bulgarian supporters. |
