ENGLAND: “THREE LIONS”

英格蘭：三獅軍團(tuán)

Named thusly for the trio of lions present on England's national football team crest — and the English coat of arms. It's a traditional emblem dating back to the reign of Richard the Lionheart.

三獅軍團(tuán)之名來源于英格蘭國家足球隊(duì)隊(duì)服胸標(biāo)和袖標(biāo)上的三只獅子。這個(gè)傳統(tǒng)的標(biāo)識可以追溯到獅心王理查（理查一世）統(tǒng)治時(shí)期。

BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA: "ZMAJEVI" ("DRAGONS")

波黑：龍之隊(duì)

The team's nickname often referred to by international media is a little less ferocious than the popular Bosnian nickname: "Zlatni Ljiljani," or "Golden Lilies," for the lily native to Bosnia and Herzegovina, also appearing on the Bosnian coat-of-arms.

國際媒體提到波黑隊(duì)時(shí)使用的這個(gè)綽號沒有“金色百合”那個(gè)綽號兇猛，百合花是波黑出產(chǎn)的，他們隊(duì)服的袖標(biāo)上也是百合花。

NIGERIA: “SUPER EAGLES"

尼日利亞：非洲雄鷹

Erstwhile known as the "Green Eagles," the nickname comes from the eagle perched atop a soccer ball on the Nigerian national football team crest. Nigeria adopted the name after a controversial loss at the hands of the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in the 1988 Africa Cup of Nations final.

尼日利亞隊(duì)以前被稱為“綠色雄鷹”，這個(gè)綽號來源于尼日利亞國家足球隊(duì)胸標(biāo)上那只站在足球頂端的雄鷹。1988年非洲國家杯決賽中，尼日利亞隊(duì)在爭議聲中負(fù)于非洲雄獅喀麥隆隊(duì)，之后便開始使用這個(gè)綽號。

PORTUGAL: “SELEC??O DAS QUINAS" ("TEAM OF THE FIVE")

葡萄牙：五盾之隊(duì)

The team is nicknamed for the five shields present on the national football team crest.

這個(gè)綽號來源于葡萄牙國家隊(duì)隊(duì)服胸標(biāo)上的五個(gè)盾牌。
