Mad Brit Diary Edgar Davids needed special permission from FIFA to wear his goggles. Juventus web site photo (Friday, March 7, 2003) There are many things to notice about Dutch star Edgar Davids, the aggressive midfielder who plays for the Italian giant Juventus. For starters, he is arguably one of the best midfielders in the world and his tenacious tackling and never-say-die attitude has earned him the nickname "Pitbull." Then there are the long dreadlocks and the blistering speed. But the most glaring thing about Davids is that he wears tinted wraparound protective goggles. It might be common in basketball, but it's rare to see a professional soccer player wearing protective glasses, especially a player as prolific as Davids, a three-time European Champions League finalist with Dutch club Ajax and Juventus. The Mad Brit thought about Davids recently after watching him play in the 3-0 loss to Manchester United in the Champions League. The Mad Brit used to wear prescription goggles to play a few years back in a Sunday League on a team that was more mixed than the United Nations. But the MB turned to contacts after the goggles broke while he was taking a header. Why, thought the MB, doesn't Davids wear contacts? Surely his peripheral vision is affected wearing the goggles.

Mad Brit Diary (Friday, September 12, 2003) Some years back, German legend Franz Beckenbauer aired his frustration about all those dinky, little countries he said clogged up the World Cup qualifying process. At the time, the Kaiser was upset that his mighty Germany had to play some country called Albania. Franz wanted those little countries to have a pre-qualifying around before meeting the big and "important" teams. Poor Franz, who owns more Mercedes than you and I will ever have, was expecting a weekend on the Riviera instead, but now he had to dust off his old map of Europe and figure out where Albania was. Well, the Mad Brit, thinks the very talented and esteemed Franz had it all wrong. All those little countries make international soccer exciting. That's the great thing about soccer, the small teams always get a chance, whether it's the Cup finals in England, France or Italy, or the U.S. Open Cup in the USA, or the European Championship and World Cup. Soccer gives the little guy an opportunity to steal some headlines. You can't imagine the gridiron New York Giants playing a team from Rochester or the New York Yankees playing a baseball team from Schenectady. One wonders how Franz felt recently when Germany, with a population of 82 million, was held to a 0-0 tie in Iceland with a population of 274,000. We know how the guys from Reykjavik felt over smoked herring that night as they warmed their weary feet in an Icelandic hot spring very good indeed.

Extractions: When done right, this move is actually more complicated than it looks. It has three distinct parts: Davids starts off with the ball caught on his instep. First, he tosses the ball up ever so slightly (it will almost feel as if you are dropping it) and immediately retrieves his foot. Using the toes of the same foot, Davids clips the ball on the outside as it's dropping (this will be the setup). Lastly, he volleys the ball with a semi-circular motion using the outside of the same foot. You'll notice that his setup touch is just a little off, because it doesn't give him enough time to retrieve his leg, before volleying it.
Extractions: Davids, 32, won the last of his 73 caps for the Netherlands against Finland in October 2004, but has been assured by national team manager Marco van Basten he still has an international future. The midfielder, who has signed a two-year contract with the Premier League club after a difficult spell in Milan, said: "Playing in the World Cup is very important to me. "I have spoken to the coach and I respect his position, but I really want to play in Germany because the finals come along only every four years and this could be my last big tournament."
Extractions: The 32-year-old midfielder, who wears distinctive eye glasses on the pitch as protection for glaucoma, will undergo a medical and agree personal terms later this week, the club said. "He is one of the most versatile midfielders, a ball-winner with great stamina and huge charisma and one of the best midfielders to come out of the Netherlands in the last 10 years," Spurs coach Martin Jol told the club's website. "This is a player who went to Barcelona when they were middle of the league and took them close to winning the title. "It's terrific that he is joining us. This is the player we have spoken about who will lift the team's mentality. We have a young squad with an average age of 23 and I believe Edgar will come in and lead by example."

His contributions to the Dutch national team were immense despite not winning any major tournament in the orange jersey. His most vital contribution came in the 1998 World Cup in France in the second round against then Yugoslavia where he scored a lovely goal with a strong volley from just outside the penalty area to earn his team a quarter final meeting with Argentina He was often nicknamed 'Pitbull' for his ferocity in fighting for 50-50 chances at tackling the opponent for the ball as did his off-field antics. He is regarded as a difficult character, and often comes over as aloof and alien, only listening to his own opinion. The most notorious example was during the Euro 1996 , where he was sent home by then Netherlands team manager Guus Hiddink after saying: "Hiddink must take his head out of players' asses, so he can see better."
