Newsflash! Dutch names are goofy?

May 8th, 2006 | By: Mike | 4 Comments »

If you needed an idiotic rundown of a few things Dutch on this Monday morning check this out. Three cheers for American football journalism.

“the Dutch have the goofiest soccer names on the planet”

Are they serious? Not only that but they entirely mis-interpret Total Football making it out to be a system to basically cover for Johan Cruyff if he ever decided he wanted to play at centre back.

Exactly. I’m surprised they didn’t purposely mispell Ruud and comment on his rude behaviour or else point out the Kuyt sort of sounds like kite.

HAHA, seriously, you americans, how do you think we ( the dutch ) think about your names and football clubs, we have a laugh about that aswell, but we are not that sad to publish things in the news paper about it. but i must agree, it is quite funny
