News about Edgar Davids

OLIVER HOLT: Any list - your list as well as mine - can be dominated by those who are not on it. However, it should really be about the participants who are on it. This list is meant to be a salute to them and of football's rich, rich past, as well as what the game means to all of us and what players represent and why they capture something in us. You'll disagree with some of the names on the list, and you'll be correct. Another man's garbage is another man's treasure. The depth of our passion for the game and the ferocity of our opinions about the players are only two of the factors that make football so beautiful.

Glaucoma, which affects two percent of over-40s in the United Kingdom, can have a large variety of signs.

Argentina coach Lionel Scaloni has defended his team after being chastised following their World Cup quarter-final victory over Holland. Following their penalty shoot-out victory, the South American nation advanced to the semi-finals in a tumultuous competition that culminated in horrific scenes. Argentina players screamed at their disconsolate Dutch counterparts as they raced away to celebrate qualifying for the next round after Lautaro Martinez scored the decisive spot-kick.

CRAIG HOPE: Save for Brazil, are there any colours more synonymous with a World Cup than those of Holland and Argentina? The feelings invoked are personal to some, but not mine. For me, it was one of the last truly memorable World Cup matches (pictured). Influencing such sentiment is the belief that, as opposed to nearly every tournament's charmless, identikit bowls, Marseille's majestic Stade Velodrome is immediately identifiable. Qatar's stadiums may look stunning from the outside, but every game has taken place at the same central venue, according to a television viewer at least. The best World Cups have always been about the exoticism of the location - the shadows, patterns of the grass, architectural distinction, camera angle, and the seat colors. Think about the Azteca, San Siro, Giants Stadium. Consider Stade Velodrome. And there was a sensory overload of chaos, color, and entertainment in 1998's sunny Saturday afternoon.

Van Gaal, a boy no older than 12, looks like his typical jovial self debating with the child's shared suspicion of the media. The boy claims, 'This is the stupid media.' 'That is the stupid media,' Van Gaal says. 'I think you've heard me talking about them,' he says.' They will discuss the young boy's own playing exploits before proceeding to address the kid's own playing exploits. The boy tells the legendary Dutch coach, 'I'm also a good actor.' 'What position?' He asks. 'Right-back.'

Nike has released their official advertisement for the 2022 World Cup, describing it as one of the best clips to have ever been created. The ad, 'GOAT Experiment,' displays how footballers from the past and present compare to each other.

Barcelona is looking for a winter midfield recruit who could help Barca resurrect their season in a similar manner as their legendary former player Edgar Davids.

Louis van Gaal has seen most things in football, but after being forced to bow out of retirement for one last shot at glory with Holland, he now has the opportunity to finish his glittering managerial career with the ultimate triumph. The Dutchman is now in his third term as the head of the national team, having previously ruled Holland from 2000-2001 to 2012-2014. This winter's World Cup in Qatar looks to be Van Gaal's last dance, at 71 and after recently fighting an aggressive form of prostate cancer. No one would begrudge him for lowering the trophy.
