do you like him because he found a game-breaking bug?Football - Arjen Robben
Haha, I don't think I understand football well enough to pick up on something like this.do you like him because he found a game-breaking bug?
Haha I see. It's a good footballing opinion to have had because he was really, really good.Haha, I don't think I understand football well enough to pick up on something like this.
I watched a couple of seasons of football in my pre-teens around 2004 and 2005 mainly to fit in with my cousins. I remember feeling like he was an incredibly efficient and opportunistic player right of the bat who made the most of whatever times the ball was on him and was increasingly frustrated that the kids around me who thought he was decent back then but didn't think he was particularly great when I was convinced he had to be one of the best surely. So he basically became my 'boy'.
Since then I've stopped following football apart from the world cups but when I did watch football during the WCs, I was a single agenda Arjen Robben fan. It basically became a ritual every 4 years to me. I usually even started an Arjen Robben fanboying thread in the WC subbies to this effect.
I'd imagine I'd be more annoyed by the diving and whatnot if I was more invested in the sport but for me they just add to the amusement of watching him play. More than anything, Arjen Robben is a childhood meme hero for me.
