as a long-time fan of clarence seedorf i am very happy to see he was recalled into the dutch squad for the friendly. he is a world-class midfielder with incredible skill. i have been a long-time advocate of him being in the dutch squad (i was dismayed at him not being in germany). you could have use...

portugal are taking all the piss for all of the diving they did against france. but to be honest, it was probably the "great" henry's dive for the penalty that set that all in motion. the portugese were going for the obligatory "make up call" that usually does come in those situations. look at villa...

it looks like materazzi is just a typical italian puss boy. works up the balls to mouth off to zidane, but falls over like a sack of potatoes, or rather, spaghetti when anything comes of it. did he need his momma mia to come and rub his little stomach after zidane headbutted him? i say italian puss ...

this world cup officially sucked...i don't remember too many GREAT games. i'll have to really jog my memory to think of say 10 great games from the whole tournament. for me, this was a tournament of divers, yellow cards, and an eye-opening realization that fifa has to introduce video replay or SOMET...

did anyone realize that france got all the way through the knockout rounds without scoring a goal from play? they were all from frees, and mostly dives at that! v spain, a henry dive, holding his face after puyol didn't even come anywhere near contacting his face (what a whinging bitch!), the result...

it would be nice if the players themselves could step up and be men by stopping the diving about, but do you think a team like portugal or italy would really do that? not much of a chance. players need to be punished for this behavior, they are making a joke out of the sport to be honest. players ne...

I agree with danK and the others who have called for new implementations of technology/rules. The truth for me is this: soccer has always been great for me, simple as that. i look forward to the World Cup and European Championships as much as anyone. I even chose a profession where I have the summer...

Yes, another game, another free kick goal by the french who created nothing......and......another dive by thierry henry. there was contact by the defender (was it carvalio?), and the arms went up (i'm sure this was well practiced) and a penalty. this was just about the only chance france created all...

Had to watch the first game here in the us, in a good irish pub. sad to say there were about 20 krauts behind us. their accents sound kind of like 20 geese going to their death-horrible. Anyway, couldn't get out of work so had to leave after the first half of overtime..just as well...didn't have to ...

Sad to see the Aussies go out, especially that way to a diving fucking deigo. Some things never change though. It was funny, and I actuallu couldn't believe what I was reading when Gattuso and some other spaghetti bender were accusing Nedved of being a diver before their meeting with the Checks!!! I...

I hate to say it guys, but i said it long ago.....it's a big mistake not taking seedorf to the world cup....he's an absolute world class midfielder...and if someone calls him a dissenter, well who did he idolize and have to look up to as a young footballer? some of the biggest dissenters football ha...

Once again lads, Clarence Seedorf covering every blade of grass on the pitch, picking the ball up at the edge of his area and spraying passes all over the pitch, supplying killer passes at the edge of the lyon box and down the flanks, having a few long range drives, he is the very heart of the milan...

Once again, Seedorf in the engine room of Milan's midfield, tirelessly running, covering every blade of grass on the pitch twice, supplying the killer pass over and over, tearing bayern's midfield to shreds, and no dutch call up? :nooo:

can someone please tell me about the dutch view of the career of clarence seedorf? i think he is one of the best midfield players i have ever seen. i first saw he and davids play together in the dutch team that beat ireland to reach the euro finals in i think it was '94. why is he not considered for...

can someone please tell me why Clarence Seedorf isn't on the holland squad?? This seems amazing to me, as I feel he is one of the best midfielders in the world now. I realize that there must be a problematic history with him. can someone fill me in on his playing history? I know all the teams he pla...

can someone please tell me about clarence seedorf?? i am a player from the states, and seedorf has been one of my favorite players for over ten years now. Why in God's name is he not on the Dutch side? I guess that there must be some issues with his personality. Is he a trouble maker in the dressing...
