He was born in Pest, Hungary, to an Ashkenazi Jewish family originally from Zimony (today Zemun, Serbia), which was then part of Austria-Hungary. He was second child of Jeanette and Jakob Herzl, who were German-speaking, assimilated Jews. A precocious, moody daydreamer, he aspired to follow the footsteps of Ferdinand de Lesseps, builder of the Suez Canal.

This passion would later develop into a successful career in journalism and a less celebrated pursuit of play-writing.[1]

We always complain at the Berkovic-Revivo-Banin-Nimny-Davidovitch generation as not producing..but the only high we had is the transition between them. We had a good run and then we fell back. What happened to our U21 team? What happened to good management?

Latvia is playing where we used to play......
