20 Jan 2013: Ajax - Feyenoord

[zeux]

I think the Patriots are more like the 'Yankees' for some, judging from the spite around them.
I don't dislike the Yankees.
I don't dislike the Patriots.

I hate them because I'm from NY. I hate all Boston teams. Even little league baseball. LOL.

Also - I love the Yankees.

I don't hate. I just love the game(s). :-)
(uh, well, the Phillies don't have my sympathy... )

Are not the Patriots the Ajax of American football? Just asking as I really gave up following the sport about six years ago because of the rampant steroid use and countless injuries. I suspect that most of those playing today will suffer early dementia.

No, I wouldn't say so. There is no real equivalent, imo, but the Patriots don't have Ajax's history; they've only been good over the last decade or so. Quite frankly, I think there is no easy comparison with respect to the NFL.

Hey guys, been a while. What a great way to start the second half of the season!

Actually I was worried about this one but Feyenoord looked...weak. Especially their forwards.
Everybody has an off game and glad it was this one. Of course Fischer's early goal no doubt spoiled there game plan. Really like this kid, what a talent!
