Ben ik echt vanochtend wakker geworden? PSV 1-4 Ajax? He? Wat? Hoe?

I stand corrected! (tot mijn grote geluk!)

He? Waarom nou? Echt vreemd.

Ik blijf nog steeds nuchter, maar dit is toch NIET SLECHT, om het zacht uit te drukken! :eusa_dance:

Idd, als Ajax wint. Dit is de make-or-break wedstrijd.

Dat zal wel belangrijk zijn voor de tweede plaats, want AZ heeft verder vrij makkelijke wedstrijden over. Als Ajax gelijkspeelt tegen PSV of verliest eindigt Ajax denk ik lager dan tweede waarschijnlijk.

Ik wacht af met juichen...na jaren Ajax-PSV-wedstrijden weet ik het gevoel van misplaatste hoop wel...maar dit zou goed uit kunnen pakken als PSV meer aanvalt en meer ruimte achterin laat.

It goes against all my principles of how football should be played, and definitely against Van Basten's original intentions when he took the job (words like 'attractive' 'fresh' and 'attacking' football are now forgotten, it would seem). So you definitively forgot something about Van Basten's philo...

The so-called 'Group of Death' turned out as I had expected - Holland's first two matches were the (relatively) easiest, and Argentina won both their games, and both are through. If we'd have had to play Argentina in the first two matches we'd have been screwed - they are ten times better than Holla...

* Dąbrowski is a national hero - he is founder of polish legions in Italy. Brave defender of Warsaw in 1794, chosen the commander of polish army by Napoleon Bonaparte. Was that the Polish revolution? I thought the Poles had a revolution like the French, but it was removed by a Russian invasion. Sam...

You think the Dutch can exploit the Ivorian defence? I think collectively they were poor, i.e. they made some collective tactical errors, but Kolo Toure is a damn good defender, up there with the best for sure. Eboue is pretty good too, not sure about the other two. What I noticed about Angola aswel...

Holland's full-backs were, defensively, sh*te. Heitinga got bypassed repeatedly, stood too far away from his opponent to begin with, and often wasn't to be seen at all. So nervewracking to watch when Serbia went down their left. Van Bronckhorst has always been a defensive liability, that's nothing n...

Sweden will do well eh Ko? Against ten Trinidadians! They're gonna struggle to get out of the group at this rate... England were atrocious second half v Paraguay, but the South Americans couldn't punish them. They are a tenacious side, but have no punch at all up front. If an early goal goes in they...

Apparently, Trabelsi has rejected PSG because of (yet again) his huge wage demands. He is waiting for other clubs now, with Manchester City now reported to be stepping up their interest.

I would definitely be up for Gabri coming to Ajax; but not if it's instead of Davids. Davids could really be the inspirational focus of this relatively young team, as well as an energetic, tough, skillful midfielder. I don't see Gabri in the same mentor-like way as Davids could be. It would be ideal...

I think that, with the way the order of the games has panned out, it benefits Holland. I have the feeling both Holland and Argentina will simply win their games against Serbia (who don't have the players they used to have) and Ivory Coast (ok, two decent strikers and Kolo Toure, but that's about it,...

I've been to Nantes before, it's a nice city. Underrated if you ask me. A really cool huge castle in the middle of town. Not so sure about the football team, though. They have a good youth program but, like Ajax, are always forced to sell (e.g. Karembeu, Loko). They've been the bad end of midtable l...

I doubt he's gonna get a starting place, though. I think he was brought along because of is ability to play in several positions (full-back, centre-back, even defensive midfield). The starting lineup will probably be: Kromkamp-Bouhlarouz-Mathijsen-Van Bronckhorst. Kromkamp is looking vulnerable, tho...

What about Heitinga right back? Then Vermaelen can go centre-back next to Stam, Vermaelen's had a good season I think...then again, if that happens we need some more cover for the centre-back positions. A young player who could be built up to replace Stam...not sure who though. Davids would be a gre...

Henk ten Cate has signed his contract - it's official. Source: SBS6. Apparently Blind will get another position at Ajax.

Yeah same here (as Menno), I mean it shouldn't be even close with a team of Groningen's budget etc. Ajax should not be scrapping for CL qualification rounds with provincial teams, it should be top of the pile. Considering Ajax is the richest club in Holland, I don't think that's an unrealistic expec...

Venezuelan Ajacied wrote if we score one goal at their place than it's game over I'm not so sure. They scored 3 against us (and several other teams) at home ... and with away goals not counting double, one might not be enough to stop this tie going to a third match. Remember, though, that that was ...

I love Yannis, he's such a legend. Really nice guy. And got some important goals while he was here too.

Last year, I was in China. I went back again a while this year. I never stopped following Ajax though, as Chinese TV has a sports programme that goes round all the European leagues.
