How Football made Andy Burnham’s political career

Andy Burnham is destined to be the next Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. His policial career is tied DIRECTLY to his rhetoric and actions around the 20th Anniversary of the Hillsborough Disaster. I want to note something - this is a POLITICALLY CHARGED issue and video. I am trying to be as down-the-middle here as possible though I do express my low opinions of Tony Blair and The Sun coverage of Hillsborough pretty clearly. I am not looking to start a political debate here even though I freely acknowledge I like and respect both Simon Heffer and Boris Johnson on the right (well Johnson is on the right today, as he was on the left yesterday and in the middle the day before :)) as well as Andy Burnham of the soft/squishy left. My own policy and societal views are not being imposed in this video and I don’t want the comments to reflect anything but commentary on this specific matter discussed. Thanks!

The Dutch have given football so much - time for the sport to pay that debt?

The Netherlands have been as responsible (if not more responsible) as any nation for the development of the modern game as a global phenomena- its style, its tactics, its business prowess. But outside of the Euro 88 tournament they have fallen agonizingly short in World Cups and Euros, in fact getting to the finals of three World Cups and losing all three. Is this finally the time they break through? This is a public episode.
