And then you wave and plead to the store manager to give the sales clerk a yellow card, right? And when he does, you wink at the mannequin?

Whenever I try a Kuyt jersey, I can’t stop running. I ran out of the mall once and was busted for theft!

Funny, but everytime I try on a Portugal Ronaldo shirt, I seem to slip and fall in the store. Very strange.

Oops Marco, you spotted a typo there…. You’re right of course, but eh…don’t rub it in, ok? we know we never won a WC…

Are you going to keep Boulah with the group? When will you inform us on the last sent offs?

It was the EC1988 and not WC1988. Holland never won the worldcup but were close to it three times in ‘74, ‘78 and ‘98.

I also thought it was a bit too much.

I was at that game in Hamburg (and I saw the finals live as well) and I only met nice Germans. The atmoshpere in the stadium changed a bit after Koeman’s shenanigans and I believe that winning against them was enough, if you know what I mean. You lower yourself with that, while you just won… Not good.

By the way, I went to Munich without tickets for the finals and the Germans were selling theirs in the center of Munich for outrageous prices. I was lucky to literally bump into two Germans who didn’t want to go to the finals (Germany lost, remember?) and they sold me their tickets for the official price! I loved that and I am much more positive about Germans since then

Play hard, play fair,give it your best–but never descend to stupid and class-less behavior. Koeman was wrong, Rijkaard was wrong, Zidane was wrong, anyone and everyone who reacts in the manner of these three examples is acting against the spirit and purpose of the sport. I have seen the Dutch team lying exhausted on the pitch after losing a very competitive match– how would we feel, as their fans, if another team’s player did was Koeman or Rijkaard did? Outraged, probably. That would be the right response. It is also the proper response when one of “ours” does the same thing.

I agree with goose – were it Voller’s shirt it would have been fine.

I remember most players back then were a bit upset. Interisti Klinsmann, Brehme and Matthaus hung out with the AC Milan three in Italy a lot and Franz Beckenbauer stepped into the Dutch bus to congratulate all the players personally. I remember the Dutch players thought he was a class act and most of them denounced Koeman’s antics.
