111
I spent three seasons at Benfica looking to be in the first eleven. Sometimes I got in and sometimes I didn’t. Sometimes injuries denied me. Sometimes the strikers who were in my position, they were scoring and scoring so it was difficult to play.

132
I feel like there should be a statute of limitations on scoring political points on the tragedy that was Hurricane Katrina.

134
To score points, you need a lot of consistent effort over the course of the game. If you’re throwing it or running it in, it’s not a big difference in terms of the score at all, obviously. But turnovers limit your scoring. That’s the problem with turnovers.

156
It’s fun scoring goals, but I also like to stop them.
157

171

The way I play, people might say I’m not technically the best. They say I’m powerful, I’m strong. But one thing I learned from when I was young is how to help my team win the game. And that’s scoring goals and being strong.
198
I don’t see why I should be happy scoring a goal against an opponent on a much lower level than we are.
199
For me, scoring goals is the most fun. That’s why I love soccer so much.
200
I think it’s a great competition and it’s a great thing to be scoring in the FA Cup.
201
Playing at the highest level alongside your friends, scoring runs for your country are things that I look back and go, ‘Ah, I miss that a little bit,’ but there’s a lot I don’t miss. I don’t miss 90 per cent of it.
202
Scoring goals is scoring goals. From a striker’s point of view, the aim is the same.
203
Scoring at Old Trafford was a very nice feeling. A great memory and something I won’t forget.
204
Sadio is a world-class player. He has so many qualities. He’s a very strong player; he’s a very quick player. He’s always scoring goals and creating chances for the team.
205
I have never played cricket for selfish reasons like scoring 800-900 runs on flat tracks to make a comeback.
206
I think scoring runs in the Ranji Trophy is a bit easier than in T20s because the fielders are always inside the circle at the start of the innings and look to attack. So if you push in the gap you will get runs. At the start it is not quite difficult, once you settle down it becomes easier.
207
Growing up, playing in a World Cup, scoring in a World Cup, is what you dream about.
208
Football’s not just about scoring goals – it’s about winning.
Alan Shearer
209
There is no better feeling for a Manc kid than scoring for United.
210
Female goalkeepers are seen as equals in academies now. We’re trying to set a good example for the younger boys so they’re used to seeing us women around, making great saves and scoring great goals.
211
I don’t think about scoring more goals than a team-mate, only to score.
212
I’m happy to be scoring important goals in the national team and here in Guangzhou, too.
213
I think any time an offense struggles with developing a rhythm, struggles with scoring points, I think the first thing you have to examine is the quarterback.
214
I enjoy playing, especially when you’re having success, when you’re driving the ball down the field scoring touchdowns.
215
With Kyrie and KD, if you’re telling me I get to come out here and pass to two phenomenal scorers and get 10 assists a game and maybe be in second gear a lot of times with my scoring, I’m fine.
216
Running in transition and scoring in transition, prevents you from setting your defense up on the other side.
217
You dream of scoring hat-tricks and scoring last minute winners when you are young.
218
I want to be perceived as a guy who played his best in all facets, not just scoring. A guy who loved challenges.
219
Cristiano is not obsessed with scoring goals. Goals always come in the end when he works hard and the team works hard, too.
220
All goalscorers go on droughts. It is how you cope with that. And it is not just about scoring, it is about what you bring to the team, bringing others into play and getting assists.
221
I played with Romario. Sometimes you think he’s sleeping, then in one split second he’s scoring. It’s a big quality. That means a lot of concentration for defenders. He’s always fast, always on the line of sight. That’s his best quality.
222
I do research for every single book, regardless. For ‘Double Dutch,’ I learned to jump and learned the scoring system. For ‘November Blues,’ I interviewed pregnant teens. I like to get up close and personal with the kids involved in the situations I write about.
Sharon Draper
223
I was only interested in scoring goals. I wasn’t interested in anything else.
224
The news media tends to act like the kids on a young soccer team. We all follow the ball as it moves from one side of the field to the next – like a kids’ soccer game. And the kid who ends up scoring a goal was the one who’s off to the corner by himself just waiting for the opportunity.
225
I think the love of the game and the love of scoring goals helps you get yourself in the right area at the right time.
226
Scoring goals is the best feeling in the world. It’s a habit. It’s a drug. Everybody runs away in the playground pretending they’ve scored in front of thousands of people. I do that for real.
227
And I think that I’d be a natural for scoring horror movies.
228
I don’t like watching others batting and scoring runs I could be scoring. It is nice to see guys being successful but at the same time I want to be the one out there doing it.
229
I think there are a lot of ways to play the PG position. Scoring first is a way that works for them and their teams. I personally like to watch PGs that like to work for others.
230
I’m excited to doing more scoring work in the future.
231
I’ve never been in this position where I’ve had to take an ‘X’ amount of shots, where I’ve had to focus on scoring. All of my career has been being a defensive player just running the floor.
232
You cannot only be remembered by scoring goals; you want to be remembered by winning trophies.
233
I played in different positions as a kid, and it helped me learn different parts of the game, but I found that I was always scoring goals, and that continued as I got older. I’ve always enjoyed scoring, and it seemed to come naturally. Fortunately, that has carried on into my professional career.
234
I had lost my grandfather just a month-and-a-half before I made my debut. I was suddenly scoring runs and getting into the fray. It was a very trying period for me. I was happy as well as sad.
235
I’m not silly enough to say I don’t take note of what other strikers are doing. I was totally aware players were scoring that were in the squad – and of English players scoring who weren’t in the squad.
Callum Wilson
236
I have always been interested in entertaining, scoring goals, making things happen, doing things off the cuff, and Chris Coleman offered me that.
237
I could never hate Inter – make that clear to everybody. It’s impossible because they were my best years. I did everything for that club, scoring almost a goal a game, suffering, celebrating and experiencing emotions which I’d never felt anywhere else.
238
The most important thing is to be a midfielder first, not scoring goals. You have to make the game, make an assist for the team, and if you can score, it’s a plus for the team.
239
There’s a lot of things that go into scoring touchdowns and leading your team. It’s not just the game itself, but going back and studying tape to pick apart everything I did. It’s nice to have something to go on, doing it full speed in a game situation.
240
Obviously, when you do something with drama and comedy in it – and by that, I mean a scene that has drama and comedy in it – you know the minute you introduce music, you’re either scoring the drama or you’re scoring the comedy, and therefore the scene becomes either dramatic or comedic.
241
Here’s how much I know about hockey. Mike Royko and I were in a tiny bar one winter night, and the radio kept reporting goals by the Blackhawks. I mentioned how frequently the team was scoring. ‘You’re listening to the highlights,’ Royko observed.
242
I respect opinions, I don’t give opinions on them. I learnt to respect them. And I also have a very clear opinion on Rivaldo. He was a great player and the image that comes to me is of him controlling the ball on the chest and scoring in Barcelona. The most beautiful thing in this world. That’s my opinion.
243
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter who is scoring and who is not scoring. It’s about winning games.
244
I’m sorry to see Balotelli waste his talent the way he does, but I think he can keep people entertained by scoring goals.
245
Soccer helped especially with my footwork. When I played soccer, I was on offense scoring goals – I didn’t pass the ball so much so it probably didn’t help much with being a point guard.
246
I have been a midfielder who is a regular goalscorer and scoring 20 in a season was normal for me.
247
I know nothing will compare to that feeling of scoring hundreds in a big game.
248
I don’t think people know how much time and effort truly goes into the game and goes into simply just scoring a touchdown. So when you get that opportunity, you should be able to be free and be relaxed from all the pressure that went into scoring that touchdown and have fun.
249
I’ve often thought that my background in rock ‘n’ roll has gone to waste in film work. My background was that I was a rock ‘n’ roll drummer and I don’t think I used drums in my first ten years of film scoring.
250
I always like to assist more than scoring: it gives me another feeling; I cannot explain it.
251
The job of the offense is not to score points. The job of the defense is not to stop the other team from scoring points.
252
If done correctly, dynamic scoring will provide a more complete picture of Congress‘s actions. This is exactly the type of modeling the private sector uses, and advances in data collection and analysis create an opportunity for it to be employed accurately.
253
With a runner at second base with nobody out, you’re trying to punch somebody out. You understand when there are guys in scoring position; hitters like to be aggressive early.
254
Individual honors and scoring championships are great, but my No. 1 goal is to win the Stanley Cup.
255
Being a home-grown player, I achieved what I set out to do by playing and scoring for Barca. I consider I was a success.
256
I used to feel like not scoring runs is the worst thing in life but I started thinking: ‘No, at least I’m getting to go out on the field wearing the Indian jersey.’ Not many get to do that. I am lucky. Now, if I get runs or don’t get runs, I’m just going out there trying to enjoy my cricket.
257
I won the national award for the best music composer and also had the fortune of scoring music for songs penned by M. Karunanidhi for the movie ‘Pasakiligal.’
258
I think football must be attractive for fans, and that means scoring goals.
259
Having the ball means creating chances and scoring goals.
260
I almost want to ask the judges, ‘If you don’t count leg kicks, if you don’t count body kicks, why not?’ So if you don’t think they’re effective in the scoring criteria, they’re not effective striking, effective grappling, so how about I kick you in the body, I kick you in the leg, and you tell me how that feels?
261
I used to say I preferred midfield because I enjoy trying to make goals, and scoring is a buzz.
262
When you’re Scottish you’re brought up to play anywhere and it’s fine to play for one or two games but you need to play in your right position, especially on the back of scoring nine goals for Hull City.
263
I hope I can keep growing and scoring goals.
264
I love scoring for the fans, for the team, for myself. That’s not to say that I won’t pass if I see a teammate in a better scoring position. But I like to score.
265
Usually, I can get the job done with guys in scoring position.
266
I’ve been promoted, relegated, won big trophies, gone months without scoring, played for my country at World Cups, been bought, sold, loaned, and called ‘a freak.’
267
I think sharing your experiences with younger players is something that’s hugely valuable for your team, for your program. It kind of gives me a sense of self outside of just connecting your passes, scoring your goals – it’s being a part of the larger picture.
268
Bench scoring overall I think is overrated. The question is, do you have enough scoring?
269
I will never, ever take for granted scoring a hundred for Australia.
270
People ask me what it’s like scoring a goal. Well, think of the best thing that could happen to you and times it by 10.
Charlie Austin
271
Most players have a basic shot with which they do most of their scoring. Mine is the hook shot and I suppose you could call me an authority on that.
272
I just worry about playing well and helping Liverpool go as far as possible in the Premier League. If that is achieved by me scoring goals, even better.
273
Stats are important to me, especially the ones related to scoring. You’re going to miss fairways and greens out here, so how you play from the sand really matters.
274
Obama has been perhaps the most partisan President since Truman. He hasn’t learned to be civil – note his insulting speech to Paul Ryan, who did us the courtesy of scoring a budget. The president has to talk to Republicans when it comes to the debt ceiling. He has reached the debt ceiling before anyone expected.
275
I’m the Inter striker, and in football, if the strikers aren’t scoring, then they’re not helping.
276
For me, in the past, scoring has not always been the most important thing. My priorities have been to play well, to be important for the team. After that, I’ve always told myself that if I score, then that’s just okay.
277
I gave up at the right time, scoring a goal against Derby. I didn’t hear anybody shouting, ‘Please stop, you are getting too old.’ That’s a success. And I don’t want to come back for the sake of it.
278
I feel like I have built different aspects of my game, not just scoring goals.
279
Football is about scoring, and if you want to do that, you have to go forward.
280
As a No. 9, I have to be there to score goals, but that isn’t the only thing. I also participate in the build-up and help my team-mates, but, above all, it’s about scoring goals.
281
Why can you not enjoy scoring and celebrating a goal for your new team with your fans? They have travelled all that way; enjoy it – simple as that. Some players choose not to, and that’s fine, but it’s just who I am – celebrate scoring goals. It’s a great feeling.
282
If it’s playmaking, I’ll do that. If it’s scoring I’ll do that. I’m trying to figure out that balance.
283
I’d be lying if I say that not scoring a Test century was a burden on me.
284
A lot of people just think I’m a big man, but I’m a basketball player. I am able to do everything that a basketball player can do – from playmaking and scoring to just passing the ball and just being a leader and post presence.
285
Going into games, it’s not like I’m thinking about scoring or doing other things for me individually.
286
I used to love watching Match of the Day and the goals. I used to love seeing people scoring.
287
I’ve always been a guy to try to create contact; create scoring opportunities based off the free throw line and being aggressive in that way.
288
Football has been good to me. Everyone has their destiny, but you have to make use of the opportunities. I have spent 15 years at the top of my game. It makes me happy. I love the game. I love scoring goals. But I have always taken it seriously. It is not what the game gives you, it is what you give it.
289
Scoring a goal feels a bit like a liberating act. It is a mix of sensations that only strikers can feel in their own guts. We work for that, to score. It is like a commitment, an obligation we take with ourselves.
290
I have always been scoring goals, and now the quality of goals I am scoring is better.
291
If you’re not a scoring point guard, people don’t think of you as highly. They don’t think of you as the type that’s going to make an impact in college because you’re not trying to score 20 points a game. You’re more trying to get 10 assists.
292
As a child, I wanted to be an astronaut, then a fighter pilot, and then later, as I grew up, I was focused on scoring high marks so that I could do an MBA in marketing.
