A genuine "fuck me" moment of genius this one. Apparently the Dutch commentary to this is an essential accompaniment.
The best fucking goal of any World Cup period, scored by a brilliant, brilliant player, in the last minute of a classic match. Frank De Boer's howitzer pass. The leaping control. One touch to go past Ayala (it only ever seems to have taken one touch to go past Ayala, taking Owen into account. God knows how he kept his reputation at all). Outside of the boot finish. Wim Jonk on his knees celebrating.
I celebrated by buying porn for my 16 year old chum from the newsagent opposite the swimming baths. On this day, a glorious one on which Croatia destroyed Germany 3-0, I'm sure it was the proprieters 14 year old girl working the till (there's nothing quite like buying pornographic magazines from a teenage girl. Especially if it's Purely 18, or Just 18, or 18, or the like).

Favourite player of all time. Str8 up.
And I fucking love Terry Henry as well.
I cannot fucking stand the way that the media these days have used Henry's slight decline and a handball to thoroughly tarnish his legend. As if he wasn't pretty much the best footballer to play English league football in about 130 years (Best might have been better).
Bergkamp was a beautiful player. He wasn't adverse to sticking the boot in either, for such a fancy dan sort.
