Football terminology?
so... I'm sure this is probably a stupid question, but I hear the term "crack" being said when talking about a good football player, now I'm in the US where football is as popular as killing cows is in India, so I don't get most "common terms" that are relatively new (or maybe not so new?) in the game and the players, so could anyone just please tell me what the deuce a "crack" is and how it started? I'm guessing it's a term used in Spanish speaking countries because Rijkaard uses it when talking about some of his players in El Barca.
hmmmm: I don't think it refers to a player shoving another player and such, I mean, every single time I hear the term it's a compliment, like they'll say "I think he'll become a crack soon"
oh well, i can see this question is a hit, so I'll just have to search around yahoo Spain, see if I can find anything.
EDIT: found it! a crack: an expert football player, a player with extraordinary quality, one who is at the level of Pele, Maradona, Cruyff, etc.
Thanks anyways "hmmm", those Spaniards and their terminology are cray-zay. XD
