robben

We've been robben of our means of survival, and forced to work as slave in corporations.

Going beyond subsisting in captivity, he emerged from 27 years imprisoned on Robben Island---South Africa's Alcatraz---to become President.

While imprisoned on Robben Island, Nelson Mandela wrote a letter (or two) to my Great Aunt.

Also, Robben Island (where Mandela spent the majority of his time) isn’t that notorious.

For a great article about Mandela and Shakespeare in The Australian recently, google for 'The Bard's role at Robben Island' and click through.

I would much rather be incarcerated in Robben Island than today’s Pollsmoor prison.

The other players who started playing along with them retired years ago or moved to less demanding leagues (Rooney, Fabregas, Van persie, Robben all retired years ago.

Mandela was arrested and detained on Robben Island, in part, because he was part of a group that violently opposed the white supremacists of apartheid South Africa.

Today, I can read Hacker News from my desk in Cape Town, South Africa while looking out at Robben Island or Table Mountain.

And I can admire Robben cutting in diagonally from the wings on his weak foot to create an opening or even Suarez's almost instinctive genius.

If anything, seeing the likes of Brian O'Driscoll get spear-tackled vs Arjen Robben chewing scenery all around him, the Rugby equivalent is exponentially more damaging to the players and the game.

He was just one of the many talents among robinho, robben, rooney, van persie, fabregas, quaresma (to name a few i remember) - all of them rated better than cristiano.

Might reflect impact of actual players (Robben being a right-sided left footed impact winger).

For the ultimate exposure to Berlin-style directness (some people mislabel this as rudeness) I would also recommend renting a Sprinter van at Robben-Wientjes.

I dunno, I can do without Robben's no era penal.
