Because they are world champions? Who cares! Italy is a joke. The whole country is a joke, with violence and corruption. 80% of the people are afraid when they go to football games. Palermo recently picked up a coach they've fired three times the last two years. Its a joke. Italy shows no respect against the football so I'm not really interested in respecting them. Respect for titles, money, cars, pimpness etc in general is pretty overrated - you shouldnt respect anyone more than anyone else really. We're all equal. But I know that thinking doesnt exist in some countries, which sucks, but we're still equal in my opinion. In countries like Italy and USA they think that titles, girls and money is something worth extra respect. I'll never agree with that. I think Marco van Basten did the right thing when he didnt stand up for Silvio Berlusconi. F*ck respect! Why should you be respectful when talking about Italy? Because they are world champions? Who cares!

Goose can tell you all on Abe... What I know is that he was one of the famous old players of way back when... I believe Johan Cruyff idolized him and I also believe Abe played in Italy before the war.... Although that could've been Faas Wilkes instead, another icon from those days. Abe apparently was one of those blokes who would work on the farm all day, than ride his bike home, eat potatoes and meat and ride his bike to the stadium to astonish the world with his dribbling and goal scoring... But again, Goose should humor you on Abe. Hup Holland Hup was translated for this blog a year ago or so :-)... It's something like this: Go Holland Go Don't let the lion out in the cold (WHAT???) Go Holland Go Don't make the animal wear his slippers Go Holland Go Don't let yourself be played off the pitch coz a lion wearing football shoes can take on the whole wide world...

It’s something like this:

Go Holland Go
Don’t let the lion out in the cold (WHAT???)
Go Holland Go
Don’t make the animal wear his slippers
Go Holland Go
Don’t let yourself be played off the pitch
coz a lion wearing football shoes
can take on the whole wide world…

Jan,if you are ashamed, then what am I? I do not know who Abe was, or is. Apparently he was a high quality footballer for Heerenveen and perhaps had my favorite Dutch coach, Foppe de Haan, as a coach. Please advise.

I belong to an organization, originally formed in New York City, called the Holland Society of New York. The purpose of the Society is to complete genealogy work for Dutch-Americans whose ancestors came to North America prior to 1675, the date the English finally took control of this area of the world. The Society also supports the work of those scholars translating Dutch language documents from that early period, and those historians interested in the so-called New Netherland historical period (1609-1675). In 2009, there will be a celebration of the 400th year of the Henry Hudson exploration of this part of the country, with his ship DE Halve Maen. Come on over and enjoy the festivities! Good ol' Henry was English but he was sailing a Dutch ship with a Dutch crew and for the VOC (Dutch East India Company). HUP HOLLAND!
