And considering that some of the most successful and respected current and retired palyers on the Swiss national team have names like Kubilay , Hakan and Murat, that was really a stupid incident last Wednesday.

I’ve just spoken to the heroic officer who bravely attacked Eric Cantona when Galatasaray played Manchester United and he says this incident has made him feel ashamed of his badge.”

Ahhhhhh worldcup! I don't think the Dutch team will get very far, but it is a great worldcup for dutch football as a product. Of the 32 participants 4 have a dutch coach

I will be hoping for what I always hope, a finale between Holland and Brazil.

Gullit, Rijkaard and Van Basten were youngter players when I used to watch the world cups.

Good fun, and quite flattering, really, from my perspective. I mean that final draw to complete that group of death for Germany...

Oh, I do so hope to play the Germans and hammer them 4-0 on their own turf..
