Cruyff is great because he invented the concept of 'total football' which revolutionized the sport.
Also he won plenty of European champions cup trophies, both as player and manager, and furthermore the man has introduced many new phrases and words that are used up to today, in Holland as well as in Spain.
But you do have one point, he never won anything with the national team :-(
Yeah, thats what I mean:
We defeated him in 74 and the Argentinians in 78...
Quite frustrating...
I'm gonna take a page out of the DNC election book and say:
in 74 you cheated! and bribed the referee! :-)
Is a little late for that...
You were just too stupid to make the second goal thats all...
The dutch penalty wasn't better either and you should have gotten a red card as well..
Haha ;-)
Wij kunnen trouwens ook in het Nederlands communiceren....
