That's not a nice thing to say about the greatest player of all time. Couldn't he use another word instead of 'idiots'?

Sneijder showing lack of respect and class. I liked him a lot but it appears that every interista learns how to be a scumbag in their training camp.

    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Sneijder tipped for Ballon d'Or[/FONT]
    Monday 5 July, 2010
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Inter’s Wesley Sneijder has been declared a prime candidate for the new FIFA Ballon d’Or. “He turns everything into gold,” wrote France Football.
    [/FONT] [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]It was announced today that the Ballon d’Or and FIFA World Player of the Year awards will be combined into one trophy to be assigned in January.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Having won the Champions League, Serie A title and Coppa Italia with Inter, Sneijder is in the World Cup semi-final with Holland.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“Champagne this season for Sneijder after the triumphant Inter campaign and his excellent performance so far in the World Cup,” read the article in France Football, the paper that assigns the Ballon d'Or.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“He has been so impressive that the Dutchman becomes a prime candidate for the Ballon d’Or.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“Sneijder may not be the biggest nor the strongest player in the world, but this year everything he touches turns to gold.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]“Not satisfied with the Inter Treble, he is back at work with Holland and until now has played perfectly.”
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]Sneijder could even win the Golden Boot for South Africa 2010, as he has so far scored four World Cup goals.
    [/FONT]
    [FONT=Arial,Helvetica,Geneva,Swiss,SunSans-Regular]It would be a particularly special prize for the 26-year-old, whose career was in trouble 12 months ago thanks to a spell on the Real Madrid bench.[/FONT]

    Apparently, he never said 'idiots', but said Maradona and Dunga are different from Van Marwijk, then explaining how he prefers a calm coach. The website that published him saying 'idiots' took it down straight away aswell.


    But, let's shoot him for it anyway.

    I will. Why does he feel the need to comment on Maradona and Dunga anyway? And what's with these bloody awful man of the match comments? I thought he had actually matured in Milan, but turns out he's still the little fuck he's always been.

    Yea I just saw an article on it on Goal.com.

    Makes sense, it would have been a stupid move from him.

    Yeah, what about comments on man of the match? I remember him making a joke about it, saying he clearly was, after playing rather shitty.

    I somehow don't think anything I say will change your opinion on anything anyway, but I'm really bored.

    That was not how the Dutch commentators saw it.

    Neither did I TBH.

    Ok, whatever floats your boat.


    He gave the camera an angry look during the game aswell. What a prick! I can't stand him.
