'despite injury'

Sorry, that was poor editing on my part. My intention was to imply that Neeskens suffered injuries during the 1978 World Cup, rather than Cruyff missing the tournament through injury. We all know of Cruyff's reluctance to play in Argentina, damn him!!!

[edit] Holland/Netherlands

I appreciate the fact that Holland is not a nation - however, for most English speaking football fans, the name 'Holland' is associated with the national team, rather than the Netherlands. I think some leeway and interchangability should be allowed in this matter - same deal with Cruyff/Cruijff.
