Robben is known for his dribbling skills, speed, crossing ability and his accurate left foot long-range shots from the right wing.

Robben first came to prominence with Groningen, for whom he was player of the year for the 2000–01 Eredivisie season. Two years later he signed for PSV, where he became the Netherlands' Young Player of the Year and won an Eredivisie title.[3] The following season Robben's signature was pursued by leading English clubs, and after protracted transfer negotiations he joined Chelsea in 2004.

In August 2009, Robben transferred to Bayern Munich for a fee of around €25 million,[6] scoring two goals on his debut. In his first season in Munich, Bayern won the league title, Robben's fifth league title in eight years, and Robben scored the winning goal in the 2013 UEFA Champions League Final.

Ahn Jung Hwan

Ahn Jung-hwan (Hangul: 안정환; Hanja: 安貞桓; born 27 January 1976 in Paju, Gyeonggi) is a South Korean former football player. He made world headlines by scoring the winning golden goal for South Korea against Italy in the 2002 FIFA World Cup second round, and earning him dismissal from the Italian club Perugia.

Ahn also played for clubs in Japan, France, Germany and China, as well as being selected for South Korea in two more World Cups, in 2006 and 2010.

After starting his professional career with K League's Busan Daewoo Royals, Ahn joined Serie A's AC Perugia in 2000–01, on loan. In a 2013 interview, he claimed to have been ostracised at the club, and bullied by his captain, Marco Materazzi.[1]

In the 2002 FIFA World Cup, he scored an extra-time header in the round of 16 game against Italy that sent the South Koreans through to the quarter-finals. The next day, Perugia owner Luciano Gaucci cancelled his contract and was quoted as saying, "I have no intention of paying a salary to someone who has ruined Italian football." Gaucci stated that his decision was not due to the goal, alleging comments by Ahn about the Italian nation. South Korean national manager Guus Hiddink criticised the decision.[2]

Perugia later took back what they had said, and offered to outright buy Ahn's contract, but the player rejected it, saying "I will no longer discuss my transfer to Perugia, who attacked my character instead of congratulating me for a goal in the World Cup."

During the World Cup in 2002, Ahn also scored the late equaliser in South Korea's match with the United States. After scoring the goal he performed a goal celebration with his teammates, mimicking the movements of compatriot Kim Dong-sung. Six months earlier, during the 2002 Winter Olympics, speedskater Kim was disqualified for "cross tracking" American skater Apolo Anton Ohno in their 1500 m short track event. Because of the disqualification, Ohno won the gold medal even though he had finished second to Kim. Ahn's celebration was a form of protest against the ISU's decision, which many Koreans felt was biased

Presiden Soeharto Mundur dari Jabatannya sebagai Presiden RI
21 Mei 1998
​

Pagi menjelang siang, pekik kegembiraan terpancar di seluruh pelosok Indonesia. Kepalan tinju dan teriakan kemenangan menggema di udara.
Hari itu, Kamis 21 Mei 17 tahun lalu, tepat sehari usai peringatan Hari Kebangkitan Nasional, untuk pertama kalinya dalam sejarah Indonesia, Presiden Soeharto, yang telah berkuasa 32 tahun, resmi menyatakan mundur dari kekuasaannya.

Soeharto mengumumkan pengunduran dirinya. Kekecewaannya tergambar jelas dalam pidato pengunduran dirinya, "Saya telah menyatakan rencana pembentukan Komite Reformasi dan mengubah susunan Kabinet Pembangunan VII, namun demikian kenyataan hingga hari ini menunjukkan Komite Reformasi tersebut tidak dapat terwujud, karena tidak adanya tanggapan yang memadai terhadap rencana pembentukan komite tersebut. Dalam keinginan untuk melaksanakan reformasi dengan cara-cara sebaik-baiknya tadi, saya menilai bahwa dengan tidak dapat diwujudkannya Komite Reformasi, maka perubahan susunan Kabinet Pembangunan VII menjadi tidak diperlukan lagi. Dengan memperhatikan keadaan di atas, saya berpendapat sangat sulit bagi saya untuk dapat menjalankan tugas pemerintahan negara dan pembangunan dengan baik. Oleh karena itu dengan memperhatikan ketentuan Pasal 8 UUD 1945 dan secara sungguh-sungguh memperhatikan pandangan pimpinan DPR dan pimpinan Fraksi-fraksi yang ada di dalamnya, saya memutuskan untuk menyatakan berhenti dari jabatan saya sebagai Presiden RI."

Seusai Soeharto mengundurkan diri dari jabatannya, dan BJ Habibie mengucapkan sumpah sebagai Presiden, Panglima ABRI Jenderal TNI Wiranto dalam pidatonya menyatakan, ABRI akan tetap menjaga keselamatan dan kehormatan para mantan Presiden/Mandataris MPR, termasuk mantan Presiden Soeharto dan keluarga.

Mundurnya Soeharto menjadi babak baru dalam perjalanan Bangsa Indonesia. Era Reformasi telah bergulir, dan hari ini genap 15 tahun lengsernya Soeharto.
