尽管已经35岁，但澳洲中锋蒂姆·卡希尔的能力仍不容置疑。在亚洲杯1/4决赛中，这位纽约红牛球员梅开二度，力助澳大利亚淘汰中国。请看本报周五的报道：

    A moment of pure soccer magic sent Australia through to the semifinals of the Asian Cup, with an unforgettable Tim Cahill bicycle kick helping the Socceroos defeat China 2-0 in Brisbane.

    The Socceroos forward can already lay claim to a goal seen around the world, with his spectacular finish in the World Cup against Holland being one of the best on last year’s international stage.

    Now he has another. In the 49th minute, with the score locked at 0-0, Cahill set the game alight as he shed his defender, rocked back and sliced the overhead strike, off the outside of his boot no less, on the finest of angles past stunned Chinese keeper Wang Dalei.

    报道中的bicycle kick就是“倒勾球”，也可称为scissor kick或者overhead kick，就是跳在半空，两腿交叉发力的动作，常见于足球运动。
