利比里亞半島之戰(zhàn) Iberian neighbors rivalry
Portugal and Spain share the land on the westernmost point of Europe, called the Iberian peninsula. Living so close, they have had a checkered political and cultural history. In one case, in the Middle Ages, King Philip II of Spain decided to declare himself Philip I of Portugal.
葡萄牙與西班牙雙雙地處歐洲最西部，那里被稱為利比里亞半島。由于相互毗鄰的關(guān)系，兩國(guó)的政治文化史有著許多交匯之處。一個(gè)例子就是，中世紀(jì)時(shí)期，西班牙國(guó)王菲利普二世自稱葡萄牙菲利普一世。
On the football pitch, they couldn’t be more alike. Both teams play a similar passing game with flashes of brilliance. And both are considered perennial underachievers. Most of the Portuguese players also play in the Spanish league.
在綠茵場(chǎng)上，他們簡(jiǎn)直太像了。兩隊(duì)不時(shí)閃現(xiàn)出相似的傳球手法，都被認(rèn)為長(zhǎng)期成績(jī)平平。許多葡萄牙球員同時(shí)也在西班牙足球俱樂(lè)部中效力。
If the two meet in the second round, the clash will mean more than life itself to the fans. Consider ex-Portuguese coach Luiz Felipe Scolari’s comment before a game against Spain in 2004: “This is war, and I have to kill and not be killed.”
如果兩隊(duì)在第二輪相見，那么球迷一定會(huì)將這場(chǎng)比賽看得比自己生命還重要?；叵?004年時(shí)，葡萄牙隊(duì)前主教練路易斯•菲利佩•斯科拉里在與西班牙隊(duì)對(duì)陣之前曾表示：“這是一場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)役，只許勝不許敗。”
