Leave him alone !! He's one of my favorute footballers , i honestly don't think it looked like the nazi salute. More like the usain bolt gone wrong maybe ?.
If you believe he was doing the Nazi salute as a Dutchman in front of millions viewers worldwide, then you're trying too hard to find problems with people.
Di Canio got slaughtered for doing something similar whilst at Lazio.
Surprised the press havent picked up on this one
I can see why you are suprised the press havent picked up on a non event in order to sell more copies or airtime. It doesnt take much to see how DiCanio was celebrating in an utterly different style,
It looked more like a Roman Gladiator salute to me, admittedly the Nazis took the idea of Heil Hitler from Hail Caeser and loved the banners, eagles, helmeted legions and all that stuff, but are we not all a little bit too over sensitive nowadays? Every facet of language and action is analysed to destruction by pundits and observers who are well paid for doing sweet f*** all other than criticise, demonise and find fault where none exists ... get a life methinks
I'm also sure I saw Iain Dowie goose-stepping in the technical area once, so he can get locked up too. And anyone with a German Shepherd Dog and a silly tash. And Uwe Rossler.

I can see what you mean

What a ridiculous generalization!
world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the
Dutch.
This!!!!!!
Regardless, it still looks very dodgy.
I'm adding 'fascist' to the list of reasons to dislike him. Cheat being another and 'no smoke witout fire' being the third.
No copyright on stiff-arm salutes. Denis Law ?
He actually did it off of both shoulders just after that clip ends!
