A: Did you see the match between Chelsea and Leeds last week? Some of the crowd threw bottles and things at the players. One of them — it might have been Morris, I couldn’t see properly — was hit on the head and was taken to hospital with concussion. Apparently, he’s still in hospital.

B: He must have been quite seriously hurt, then. But, you know, I don’t really feel sorry for people like that — I think footballers are paid far too much these days.

A: Oh, really? I do. After all, although they earn a lot for a few years, it doesn’t last forever.

B: Yes, but look at Mills. Despite getting out of the game at the age of 30, he’s a millionaire. I certainly wouldn’t mind being a millionaire at that age.

A: So would I!

Перевод диалога:

A: Ты видел матч между «Челси» и «Лидсом» на прошлой неделе? Некоторые из толпы бросали в игроков бутылки и разные предметы. Одним из них — возможно, это был Моррис, я не смог как следует разглядеть, — попали по голове, и его отвезли в больницу с сотрясением мозга. Кажется, он всё ещё в больнице.

B: Значит, он, должно быть, довольно серьёзно пострадал. Но знаешь, мне не очень жаль таких людей: я считаю, что в наши дни футболистам платят слишком много.

A: Правда? А мне жаль. Ведь хотя несколько лет они зарабатывают много, так продолжается не вечно.

B: Да, но посмотри на Миллса. Несмотря на то что он завершил карьеру в 30 лет, он миллионер. Я бы точно не отказался стать миллионером в таком возрасте.

A: Я тоже!

Between употребляется при двух названных сторонах; although вводит придаточное с подлежащим и сказуемым, а после despite используется герундий. So would I выражает согласие с утвердительным высказыванием.
