I never quite know what to think of Cruijff. Sometimes he seems to be just some old sap mouthing off. Then I recall how much he knows about the game, and I have to give him a bit more respect.

And A Last Mail On Fantasy Punditry
Does anyone remember Johan Cruyff's punditry for the BBC during Euro 2000? I think he just happened to be passing and there was a spare chair, but he was wonderful. No rubbish, no clichés, just insightful and elegant comments. Plus, the presence of the man in the studio was tangible...

“Between spectacular, controlled football, which I defend and will always defend, and results-based football there is a world of difference.

“An inadequate team has to try to defend as it can, but a great team, with great players, always has to give something more. What’s more, it has to for the good of football.”
I wholeheartedly agree, but I'm Dutch so that shouldn't surprise anyone...

Watch it before I go all urban legend on your ass :D
Erik, please.. I know you don't have a real country, but trying to adopt someone else's, (and of African descent, of all races) is not the answer.. ;)

Erik , I have a green cap that my uncle who lives in Belgium gave me. It says "ACV Kempen". Any idea what that is? It's supposed to be some political party or something.
