Of the 736 players participating at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, 60 will
celebrate their birthday during the competition, said FIFA Communications
Division on Wednesday.
Furthermore, two coaches and two referees will also mark a birthday
between 9 June and 9 July.
Of the 64 competition 'birthday boys', six, mostly Frenchmen, will be
celebrating in style as their birthdays
coincide with a match day of their home nation.
They are:
KLOSE Miroslav (09.06.1978), a German striker who will mark his 28th
birthday by playing in the opening match against Costa Rica.
MALOUDA Florent (13.06.1980), who will turn 26 on the day of France's
first match during the tournament against Switzerland.
LEMERRE Roger (18.06.1941). The Frenchman who coaches Tunisia is the
only coach to celebrate a birthday at the group
stage. His birthday coincides with France's match against South
Korea.
LAMPARD Frank (20.06.1978). On the occasion of his 28th birthday, he
will be partying on the pitch with his team mates against Sweden.
And two maestros on a same day: ZIDANE Zinedine (23.06.1972) and VIEIRA
Patrick (23.06.1976). They will not only share a birthday, but also
celebrate it by playing for their national team against newcomers Togo in
their final group match.

本周三，國際足聯媒體部透露，參加2006世界杯賽的736名球員中，有60名將在比賽期間過生日。
而且，還有兩位教練和兩位裁判也將在此期間（6月9日--7月9日）度過生日。
在這64位“世界杯壽星球員”中，有6位（大多數是法國人）將以一種與眾不同的方式慶祝生日，因為他們的生日恰好和本隊的某場比賽是同一天。
這六個壽星是：
克洛斯·米洛斯拉夫，生于1978年6月9日，德國隊前鋒，將在德國對陣哥斯達黎加的揭幕賽中度過28歲生日。
馬盧達·弗洛倫特，生于1980年6月13日，將在法國隊對陣瑞士隊的首場比賽中度過他的26歲生日。
勒梅爾·羅杰，生于1941年6月18日，法國人，突尼斯隊教練。是唯一一位將在小組賽階段過生日的教練。他過生日那一天，恰逢法國隊和韓國隊交鋒。
蘭帕德·弗蘭克，生于1978年6月20日，他將在英格蘭對陣瑞典的綠茵場上度過自己的28歲生日。
其余兩位重量級人物--齊達內·齊達丹（1972年6月23日）和維埃拉·帕特里克（1976年6月23日）將在同一天過生日。他們不僅要一起過生日，還要在這一天共同為法國隊與新秀多哥隊進行的最后一場小組賽效力。
