Some users are born Marx Brother: gentle_man_ is a case in prime. Awful at this game, helpful as an MA, a good laugh and a highly starred player. He used to have a fluffybunny in his team card. This sweet picture and his gentile behaviour even make you as an opponent, with tears in your eyes, happy to lose from him from time to time: he is after all a gentle man.
His passage through the highly respectable Titans clan, his presence in the forum, his qualitative and supportive performances, his appointment first as La, then as CA and recently as Master Assistant, were accompanied by a YES, YES, YES by all of the Marx Brothers. Gente-man_ is the brother, uncle, father, friend, husband, etc. etc. we never had. He belongs here, at the Marx Brothers. After a long struggle – he was a faithful Titans Clan member and had some difficulties giving up on them, an asset we strongly praise – he finally decided to follow his dream and become part of the Marx Brothers, more than ever your hope in dark days…
We are sure he will be able to live up to the expectations. He will be a great clan brother, an ever great member of the Powersoccer Community and a star with no equals. Welcome, Flying Dutchman! Welcome gentle_man_
As we don’t introduce new clan members without a video, I have selected a video that is really close to my heart. Belgium is a lousy football country. We used to have a decent team but since long, those days are over: we are happy that Spain only beats us 2-1 and cheer if we successfully beat Estonia, a football dwarf, 3-2. We can however cherish two moments in the Belgian football history, two moments in which we hurt our archenemies the Dutch so badly that all of their country wept. I have chosen the most painful of the two.
In 1985 Belgium and Holland needed to play a play-off game to decide who could go to the World Cup in Mexico. Belgium won the first game 1-0 in Brussels On the legendary cold November evening, it faced Holland in de Kuip, home ground of Feyenoord Rotterdam. Holland – with its hurd of extremely talented players – was leading 2-0, almost certain that it would qualify for the World Cup in Mexico as there were only 4 more minutes left on the clock. Belgium was nowhere in that game and all would have agreed that Holland deserved the victory and the ticket to the World Cup. And then… out of the blue this happened.
(short version)
Belgium scored 2-1 and qualified for the Mexico World Cup where they only lost in the Semi-Final after playing one hell of a tournament. Those were the days, let’s all remember them, including my dear mr. gentle_man_
(extensive version – actually even more painful for Dutchmen to watch but nevertheless exciting, as you know Belgium has to score)
This video is equally brilliant. It got the goalkeeper of the Belgian national team the prize of best goalie of the tournament (he is better than our PS goalies for sure) and got us another victory in a high level match against the Dutchmen. This is the World Championship 1994 in Atlanta. As Marx Brothers are almost by law Fulham supporters, they will be very happy to see who scored the actual goal:

we lost 1 lousy match against belgium and you managed to use this for my entrance...
@ Pascal, dear friend, buddy, mate, sugarpops, ...
you actually lost two!
It's all right, our poor sippy feels much the same about DAVID PLATT!!!
David Platt?
Who's that? Sounds like the name of my old grandmother's cat: Platt the Cat...
He is the man who single-handedly knocked poor little Belgium out of the 1990 World Cup.
Look here:~

@ AF9: with this footage, david Platt can go back to his fish and chip shop. Grün - Albert: those are heroes!
Platt is a football player of one of the worst football teams in the world (England) :P
