Reply to comment by LloydDoyley in Thousands urge FIFA to boot Iran out of World Cup over Russian 'kamikaze drones' by 29PiecesOfSilver

>the 1978 WC was held in Argentina when an army dictatorship was in charge,

if I remember correctly, Cruyff bitched out at Dutch officials and the manager and used "political reasons" to boycott the 1978 World Cup

I think for years this is what people believed and it wasn't until after he died when people realized he boycotted because he threw a Roy Keane-esque tantrum

Lol yeah. To be honest I don't think the players should be forced to have an opinion on this either.
