    Never seen another footballer as good as van Persie at killing and then volleying blind passes coming in over his shoulder. I would reckon that's the toughest skill in football. Some player.

    I played a huge amount of soccer when I was younger and would agree that dealing with a ball coming over your shoulder is by far the most difficult skill to perfect regardless of whether you're looking to volley or control it. Van Persie's touch was disgustingly good.

    He reminds me so much as Denis Bergkamp - no coincidence they are both Dutch.

    Sorry for old clip with odd corny music - but he was before HD. (lol)



    Van Persie had a shocker of Euro 2012.

    I'm a 'pool fan - but there will be nobody again like Torres, when he first arrived.

    Owen and Fowler had something like that, but not the same.

    A bit easier for RVP than Suraez IMO.

    Suraez playing his heart out for a **** team ???????
    RVP as in Euro 2012(where was he?) plays when it is handy.

    Was it handy with arsenal last season when he single handedly dragged them through the season similar to the way Suarez is doing with Liverpool this season.

    Messi hasn't did it at international level yet. Are we to dismiss his achievements too?

    Wouldn't agree that Messi has not had a great International career. He is young still. Has scored over 30 goals.

    Suarez, unreal international career - 2010 world cup, 4th with Uruguay.

    The Dutch, well, we know they are tempermental when it comes to international football.

    Anyway, hard to agree anything when it comes to football, too many vested interests and sentiment.

    He is finished as a world class player.
    Unreal for a season or two. Pretty sad to see his decline really.

    Sad - was the best I ever seen at Pool that first few seasons , was the best in PL too at that time. Jesus, the goals he scored, week in week out. Top corner or side net.

    Don't have those exact ones but do have a pair of Adidas golf shoes that would probably be a slightly older version of the above. They are probably one of the most comfortable golf shoes I've worn and a good fit. The only flaw I have with them is the 3 stripes and not joined to the actually shoe, they wrap around it, so they tend to pick up a fair bit of dirt, grass etc. Its a bit of nuisance when cleaning them

    Do you mean for breakdancing or doing salsa, they are good - only joking - this is not golf here. It is the dancing forum.

    But, had a pair of Adidas last, fell apart, could not believe it.

    Have gone to Footjoy. Ok so far, but not as dry as expected around laces.

    You can do an evil moonwalk in the footjoy. ;)

    Bought a pair recently, have worn them three times and found them the most comfortable shoe yet. Fantastic grip too.

    Missus watching that Xpose prog on TV3 this evening. There was an interview with a couple of those airbags from Tallafornia. Interviewer asked which 'TV3 celebrity' they'd like to have in the house? Good God, dumb meets dumberer.

    Mad show that. Was watcing, waiting for V.B. , one girl went away with them without drinking, amazing she could go on holiday with that gang and not drink. Stay at home would be my tip.

    Watching Vincent Browne now - the abortion debate seems to be a debate amongst extremes.
