196次将手插进一个有机玻璃瓶中,196次使世界各地无数双眼睛紧张地注视着电视机里国际足联秘书长布拉特手中挥舞的小纸条上到底写的什么。 在巴黎为1998年世界杯预赛举行的抽签仪式是一次马拉松式的活动。也许这个仪式太长,使评论家常常从他们自己的角度出发来发表评论,而遗漏掉了基本观点。世界杯以一次大型锦标赛方式团结了全世界的足球家族,而每一个新加入的会员都会受到尊敬和注意。对于172个参加竞争的会员来说,抽签仪式只是壮观的世界杯长长足迹的开始。 196 times putting his hand in a plexiglass bottle, 196 times with countless pairs of eyes around the world watching nervously over what was written on a small piece of paper waving in the hands of FIFA general secretary Blatter. The draw for the 1998 World Cup preliminaries in Paris is a marathon event. Perhaps this ceremony is too long, so that critics often comment from their own point of view, leaving out the basic point of view. The World Cup unites the world’s football families in a major tournament, and every new member is respected and noted. For 172 competing members, lottery is just the beginning of a spectacular World Cup long trail.
