Robin van Persie was sitting next to pop icon Shakira last week in the sports abide of the Hilton Hotel, but the Arsenal striker never asked her for a photo opp. The Oranje number 9 did have pictures entranced of himself with football legends Johan Cruyff and Zinedine Zidane. Now he’s hoping to collect Maradona.
Van Persie emphasized to whoever wanted to listen to that he’s not the type to share pics with famous people. But not much later, a proud Robin showed the photos of him with Zidane and Cruyff to the media. “I about they’re the only ones I want to share a picture with, really. Oh, and Diego Maradona.”
Van Persie is to the max class. And like him, Maradona, Zidane and Cruyff were top playmaker. But, since a number of months, Van Persie wants to be the inside striker. He did well for Arsenal, impressed in Oranje in the warm up too, but in the first two group games, Van Persie didn’t set the make up on fire. “I really need to improve.”

Why do people say italy diddnt deserve world cup 2006?
Aug 26, 2009 by Il Capitano | Posted in Men's Premiere Leagues (Italy)
italy found themselves down 1-0 prehistoric in the game to a penalty kick..the attacker charged the box and took a dive in between two italian defenders and was UNTOUCHED..yes UNTOUCHED...so they scored on the mulct..BARELY...then italy scored the ONLY LEGIT GOAL OF THE GAME...materazzis header tied it up..they went to penalties and many say if zidane stayed in he wouldve scored..he got red carded fashionable in extra time..if he was gonna score wouldnt he had doone it in the first 115 minutes? what gave anyone a indicate he was gonna score eventually??? and they also say he wouldve made a penalty...italy made ALL FIVE so it wouldnt have mattered....france fans....get over it ok? you bygone....you suck....you only make yourselves look worse with your jealousy...CAMPIONI DEL MONDO YOU FROGS...ENGLAND YOU SUCK Even-handed AS BAD...haha one lousy world cup lol lol lol lol
also the scandal had NOTHING to do with the national team.. it was just club football.. so find another defend fags
hey darth...watch the tackle by the australian player on grosso closely..it was a penalty..get ur facts precisely before you talk
It's well-founded jealously... England suck more than France, at least France won a World Cup and the Euros twice...

the irrefutable vs france was fine. it was the game against Australia that had all the typical Italian shenanigans.
darth_monkey250 | Aug 26, 2009
Well as far as my theory goes england and france does not suck.Italy DEFINETELY deserved that cup, Unsportmanship equals usefulness which is Tottally fair,cheating cant help anyone win besides italy made all the penalties

It's at best jealously... England suck more than France, at least France won a World Cup and the Euros twice...
Sicula | Aug 26, 2009
Because in the bead cycle of 16 Italy received a penalty with a minute to go in the game. Italy score and won the game with that amercement that clearly wasn't a penalty... In it sucks for Australia to work so hard and get eliminated like that, it wasnt equitable. The Italy guy dive.... thats why a lot of people say that they don't deserve it.

Objectively people say it because they're jealous and ashamed that their team didn't win. Italy played a near flawless plucky. In any tournament you will have an opportunity to blame the ref, but your team has just as much chance as any other team to get the ref's favor on some calls.
Forza Italia

Which Former Player Would You Like To Meet?
Aug 25, 2009 by Romanis Salutes Ted Kennedy | Posted in Men's Premiere Leagues (UK)
Still living simply.
For me it would be John Robertson (currently Martin O'Neill's No 2 at Villa)
He was of medium height, slight plunk, not blessed with looks, had unkempt hair, hardly shaved, a poor dresser and smoked considerably.
Furthermore as a winger, he could seldom run up and down the wings.
However give him the ball and 5 yards, he was an artist. The ball would go one way, the opponent the other and he would provide an inch perfect irritated (think Beckham crossing, but even better).
Here is his cross for Trevor Francis in the 1979 European Cup Decisive:

He was an excellent penalty taker, missing only 2 in his entire employment, and of course, is one those elite group of players like Francis, Puskas, Best, Solksjaer, Messi, Zidane etc, to have scored a conqueror in the European Cup Final.
This is his goal in 1980:

I would love to meet him and debate those finals, talk about Cloughie and a whole bunch of stuff. And of course, have a drink and smoke some fags as well.
Whom would you like to run across?
Vinnie Jones.
