25 Apr 2010: Ajax - Feyenoord

[SPL]

The biggest farce is that we have to wait 2 weeks for the final league game. Why is next sunday now in Amsterdam when it was in Rotterdam .

[Cedric]

Because according to the draw, Feyenoord is the home team.

2 weeks to wait to know who will win the championship and another 2 weeks to know who will win the Cup. Great...

[Monkey Tonk]

Love it. Ajax will stay in rhythm by playing a big game. And Twente has an extra week to let the nerves get the better of them.

[Monkey Tonk]

But for a Cup final this is a fiasco. Two games with only home fans? lol

Only in Holland?

[ajaxusa]

Does anyone know if there will be SOPcast for this game?

[Tom_]

I'm fairly certain there will be... I've watched a couple of cup games on SOP this season.

Hey guys, I'm currently in Toronto and will fly today to Halifax, Nova Scotia. Does anyone know a bar/pub in Halifax that will have European football on TV? Or do you know a typical Canadian sportsbar that does this kind of things?

There will definitely be a sopcast -- which channel won't be put up until close to game time -- but I would guess it will be one of the usual NSV channels. Anyway, you can check with sopcast (since it's not an eredivisie game they can post it on their site), or on rojadirecta.org, when it gets close to game time.

I lived in Halifax N.S. for three years in thre nineties, lovely place but a football desert...

A quick scan of the net would suggest your best bet is "Bubba Ray's Sports Bar" (on Spring Garden Road);

Match is on Sopcast, NVS1. Let's get ready to rock and roll!!!!!

[shinnyplayer]

1-0 De Jong

[Orange14]

Wow, terrible goalkeeping and de Jong makes it 1:0

[shinnyplayer]

2-0 De Jong!!

[Tom_]

Make that 2-0!!! And we should already have had a penalty for a rugby tackle by van Bronckhorst

[Orange14]

Siem de Jong on TWO!!!

[Van basten]

Yeah baby!!!!

[Van basten]

WTF? Is GIO untouchable?

[Tom_]

WTF? Is GIO untouchable?

I know. He could've had three or four yellows by now. And de Zeeuw gets one for diving. Bizarre refereeing.

[Orange14]

Not a particularly well officiated match. I don't know why there are not any decent referees in the Eredivisie. I don't understand why de Zeeuw received a card and Von Bronkhorst didn't for grabbing Stekelenberg. A decent first half for us but we should have had a third goal. Feyenoord doesn't have much imagination on offense at all.

[Tom_]

Yeah. I'm slightly concerned about the amount of possession they're getting, but so far they have done absolutely nothing with it.

[ajaxusa]

Ajax needs to score another one. I worry that F'noord is going to get a crappy goal near the end, and then play for 1-0 at de Kuip. Suarez is crap today...

Come on Ajax!

[ajaxusa]

I take it back. F'noord look utterly uninterested in scoring. They're bunkered in, protecting a 2-0 defeat. Brilliant.

[Tom_]

The two-legged-ness made that pretty boring if you ask me. Once it was 2-0, Feyenoord just went into damage limitation.

Good result but not awesome, if we score in De Kuip they're fucked. If they score first it could be nasty.

[Orange14]

I would have wanted the third goal just to lock things up tight. I have to say that this was one of the best defensive performances that I've seen in several years. We denied them any space in the midfield and we dealt with all the corner and free kicks without a problem. Hope this is not the last time that Marko plays in the Arena for us.
