Spanish players at the World Cup will have to give up social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook during the tournament as coaching staff consider them an unnecessary distraction.
“The coaching staff have told us that they prefer that we are isolated from everything,” striker Juan Mata told a news conference on Thursday.
“I have to respect that, we must be focused on each match and on our rivals. I don’t think it’s a big deal.”
Barcelona defender Carles Puyol has already said goodbye to his Twitter fans.
“Hello everyone, from today we cannot connect until we get back from the World Cup, I will tell you about it when we get back! Greetings!” he said in a tweet.
Coach Vicente Del Bosque said days before the players gathered for training that they should not use social networking sites in order to focus on the tournament, which takes place in South Africa from June 11 to July 11.
“They have asked us not to go into Facebook or Twitter from now until the end of the World Cup,” midfielder Andres Iniesta said on Facebook.
“We’ll meet again as soon as the tournament finishes for us, which I hope will be on July 11,” he said, referring to the scheduled date of the final.(AFP)
為避免不必要的分心，本屆世足賽西班牙隊的教練團要求球員，比賽期間不得使用「推特」和「臉書」這類社交網站。
前鋒胡安•馬塔上週四在一場記者會上表示：「教練們不希望我們和外界有所聯繫。」
「我尊重他們的決定，我們得把全副心力放在每一場比賽和對手上。我覺得這沒什麼大不了。」
巴塞隆納隊後衛卡勒斯•普約爾已經向推特上的粉絲道別。
他推特上的一則短訊寫著：「大家好！從今天開始到世界杯結束為止，我們都不能在此交流了，我會再告訴大家我們何時歸來！保重囉！」
總教練文森•迪•博斯克在集訓展開前幾天向球員表示，為了專心準備六月十一日至七月十一日在南非舉行的世界杯足球賽，一律禁止使用社交網站。
中場安德雷斯•伊內斯塔在臉書上說：「他們要求我們從現在起到世界杯結束為止，都不可以上臉書或推特。」
他說：「等世界杯一結束，我們就會再相見。我希望是七月十一日那天。」世界杯總決賽定於七月十一日舉行。

The third-hottest July worldwide ended a string of record-breaking temperatures last month, but many regions were still devastated by extreme weather amplified by global warming, the European climate monitoring service said Thursday last week. Heavy rains flooded Pakistan and northern China; Canada, Scotland and Greece struggled to tame wildfires intensified by persistent drought; and many nations in Asia and Scandinavia recorded new average highs for the month. “Two years after the hottest July on record, the recent streak of global temperature records is over,” Carlo Buontempo, director of the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service, said in a statement. “But that

Peacocks are among the most beautiful birds in the world. Their bright feathers and graceful movements have fascinated humans for centuries. These magnificent creatures belong to the pheasant family and are found in regions across Asia and Africa. Let’s explore peacocks’ unique characteristics and cultural significance. There are three main species of peacock: the well-known Indian peafowl, native to South Asia; the endangered green peafowl from Southeast Asia; and the rare Congo peafowl, found in African rainforests. Although the term “peacock” technically refers only to males, many people use it for both sexes. Male peacocks display their colorful tail feathers, which
