Wonderful news!

I assume you've already gotten the little rascal an Ajax jersey?

Congratulations Ko, one more Ajax fan I presume.

Congrats Ko!

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations Menno hope mother and baby are doing well.

Hey, great news! We know the little beauty will not only be an Ajax fan, but she'll listen to good music and she'll crack wise all the time. Plus, Dad will make sure she loves America, so I might even get to show her my city of San Francisco some day...

Congratulations, Ko. You'll be a great dad, of course.

(Today is my son Ryan's birthday. He's twelve, but he still sleeps with an Ajax teddy bear named Jari. Don't tell him I told you that...)

Yes to Ajax. Yes to San Francisco (my hometown too). Yes to the teddy bear named Jari. Sounds like a kids' book waiting to happen - get busy!

Can we please stop polluting the baseball topic with talk about babies?

Ko and fam congrats: "Dat het een mooi mensch mag worden."

Thought I'd post some phot's from Croydon Athletic last weekend. As things stand it could be the last ever game.....

Thanks very much, everybody. These are wonderful times.

Janneke (my girlfriend) and little Elin are very, very well.

She's so beautiful, you know... And so sweet.

I put a few pictures up on Facebook, if you're interested: check 'em out.

What a sweet little girl - she's got your hair I think lol. Elin and Sjoukje, Ajax ladies forward line 2030

Congratulations Ko! :)

This is truly one of the best little soccer video clips I have ever seen. It's like a Chekhov short story. Short, evocative, and devastating. Every goalkeeper in the world should be made to watch this video. No... every athlete in the world should watch it. It is so... educational.

Why goalkeepers shouldn't be too quick to celebrate

This happened to my team once. I was 7 and we played the semi finals in a tournament where the winner would play Ajax. Our goal keeper stopped the final penalty in the shoot out but the ball bounced and span back in the goal. There was a huge upset because nobody knew the rules. Apparently the balls direction is determined by the first bounce after the goal keeper stopped it. And therefore the goal stood and we didn't play Ajax. I blocked this experience for many years. Thank you for releasing it again.... ;)

CONGRATULATIONS KO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guys, I'm goofing around with the ajaxusa.com domain settings (doing some testing for a friend's non-profit website), so don't be too surprised if you see something odd there. (ajax-usa.com should still point to our friendly old, long-dormant web site.)

Hey, guess what my Under-12 Boys soccer team gave their coach (me) as a thank you gift at the end-of-season party?

Check out my new shirt. :-)

Was at the World Powerboat Championships today and ran into Louis Van Gaal who was in town to shill for Qatar's WC 2022 bid. I was about to try to convince him to come back to Ajax, board be damned, but couldn't catch up to him before he walked away. I should see him tomorrow, maybe I can persuade him then.

Hey guys,

Just had a quick question for the English fans around here. Do you happen to know how I can get tickets for a home game of Leeds United? I want to visit the game against Middlesbrough on the 1st of January and I was looking around how to buy tickets from Holland, but I can't really find the answer. Seems that I need a Club Membership or something.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not familiar with procedures at Leeds but I'd be very surprised if you needed a membership card to get a ticket. Middlesbrough are a recent Premier League team though not a "big" name as such although being 1st January this game will probably sell out. From looking at their website the membership requirement seems to relate to how many reduced price tickets a member can buy in the family stand.

Why don't you just give them a ring or e-mail them? This game won't sell out for ages yet (assuming it does at all) and I'm sure they'll be happy to sell you a ticket.

Edit: Had a look at the New Years Day fixtures for you. If you can't get a ticket for any reason (and assuming that you're in the Leeds area) you could do worse than Sheffield Wednesday v Peterborough United in League One. Assuming that the trains are running you can get there easily from Leeds and Hillsborough is a massive ground and you shouldn't have any problem I'm sure just buying a ticket on the day.

Great. Thanks for the info (also about the other fixture). Will send them an email.

Or even Doncaster versus Scunthorpe for a local derby game

Not that I understood anything but an old friend of this site Menno Pot was on Ajax TV!

See his few second (0:23-1.04s) here.

Since I didn't understand a word of it, I think Menno was FAR more interesting that boooring old Denny Bergkamp.

I thought this tactic might come in handy if all else fails.....
