OK, Great - I think at least one of these is worth a trip. Been to Bristol City a couple of times but never to Southampton (assuming they are still in business by then...)Benji schreef:Ajax also plays a friendly against Southampton on the 18th of july.

Re: Ajax friendlies
I had heard that Ajax were on the shortlist to play a friendly against Toronto FC in Toronto this summer. MLSE went with Real Madrid (for 1 million $ including bringing in grass for one game - $250,000) and River Plate instead.
If they had come, I sit beside 3 guys who split the 2 seats, one of which is a Feyenoord fan! It would be nice to get them in North America soon!

If this is all the action they get before the season starts, it certainly isn't much, especially as the first game is reportedly on Sunday August 2.
Why are they starting so early this year?

Yes. That and the fact that pretty much everybody (players, coaches, fans, police, etc.) wanted the winter break back (and it is back: from 20 Dec to 23 Jan or something).Over Pasanens Head schreef:World cup in 2010

I hadn't heard about that. Anyone think that's a realistic possibility for Ajax in the future?
They are a historically big club, and I would still think they have a larger following than many clubs. I know the past few years there have been quite a few big European clubs that have come over here to play MLS teams. Maybe wishful thinking, but I'd love to see Ajax be a club that does it in the future. I'm not sure they would have the same draw as a club like Chelsea, but I would imagine the financial aspects of having Ajax play in North America would be slightly less.

Re: Ajax friendlies
Ajax had to cancel their planned January trip to South Africa, because the Eredivisie match at NAC Breda has been re-scheduled to January 17th.
Instead, the team will go to Albufeira, southern Portugal, just like last season. They will go on a training camp there from January 6th to 13th. One friendly fixture has just been announced: against FC Groningen in Portimao. This was announced not on Ajax.nl, but on the official FC Groningen website.
A second friendly fixture has been announced: on Saturday 09 January Ajax will play... Ajax Saturday-1 (the amateur team). This is also in Portugal.

Re: Ajax friendlies
Ajax will go on a post-season trip to the island of Curaçao (one of the Dutch Antilles in the Caribbean) from 18 to 25 May. Without the internationals picked for the World Cup in South Africa, of course. Ajax will play friendly matches against NEC and Hubentut Fortuna, the 2009 champions of Curaçao.
Would be a nice little trip... although I'd sure as hell skip the games and stay on the beach.

Vermeer, Verhoeven
Oleguer, Alderweireld, V d Meulen , Will, Supusepa, Ogararu.
Urby, Bonevacia, Overtoom, Danilo, Donald , V d Heijden

Kappelhof ought to have been but may have picked up an injury this weekend in the youth tourny.
Jong players Will and Supusepa have contracts expiring shortly and I quess this is their last chance of impressing .Not many attackers.

Re: Ajax friendlies
Saw brief highlights of the Al Alhy friendly last night. Sulejmani scored the only goal. He seems much fitter than the past season and at least for now, it seems like he wants to do something with himself this season.

Re: Ajax friendlies
Lol - I only saw a 3 minute highlight reel. But he had one move where he took the ball through 3-4 opposition players (I know it's only pre-season and it was against Al Alhy). He also seemed to want to get the ball.
Last season - around this time, Jol was telling him to lose 20 pounds. So, lets see.
