And mine is still scheduled for tomorrow. It's OK because it's a bunch of scientists and administrators from the National Institutes of Health here in Bethesda. I don't thing any of them are football fans. I wore my Ajax cap to a sub-group meeting right after the win against Juventus and they all thought it was a pretty hat having no clue at all about Ajax. I'll get home a couple of hours after the match is over and watch it as I eat dinner.

Maybe jumping the gun a bit here and don't want to curse it, but "if" we get to the final, are there plans for big screens going up around Amsterdam for the final?

that's the ajax fairy working her magic for you, amol. to orange14, sit in the back and try to stream on a phone, thought might not be feasible if you meet with the NIH. I have a meeting starting 430 but don't have to lead it so it'll be tv on and phone on mute

Veltman keeps his spot in the playing 11. Wow.

Nous starts on the bench.
Ajax lineup -
Onana; Veltman, De Ligt, Blind, Tagliafico; Van de Beek, Schöne, Frenkie; Ziyech, Tadic, Neres

Spurs lineup -
Lloris (C), Trippier, Sanchez, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Wanyama, Rose, Eriksen, Dele, Lucas, Llorente.

Looks like a 5-4-1/5-3-2 for Spurs which is what a few people had guessed.

Getting to the final would be incredible but I just want us to win that title so very badly. Getting to the CL final would be the icing on the cake ,winning it well thats still in the land of fairytales.

Great here in England to read fans and press praising us . Whatever happens v Spurs we have played some beautiful football,breathtaking at times.

can't wait for the game to start so that nash and co. finally stfu. horrible, generic commentary...

anyways, let's go!!!!!! going to be a very difficult game but we can totally do it. whatever happens, we've done great.

I know right. They are so annoying. Nash who knows nothing about football - didn't really know Ajax until 2 months ago. He can't even pronounce names correctly.

Poch blah blah blah - so awesome.

yeeeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!!!

Gooooaaaaaaallll!!!!!

Ugghhh. Jan got hurt bad on that header.

We should've been up 2-0.

Apart from looking dangerous on set pieces Spurs are flat, aren’t they?

Didn’t expect to say this but we need to take advantage and put a couple in the net.

Jan not looking good at all there. He couldn't even walk off by himself.

hop jan is ok. that didnt look good

That was crazy, why did they send him back on? He could barely stand up.

This is that part of the first half where we often concede. Let’s get in to ht with the lead...

Poch was trying to send him back in even when Jan walked out the 2nd time. WTF. Eff you Poch.

Phew. We were right on top for thirty minutes until we started giving away free kicks. Spurs are conforming to the English football stereotype - just pumping balls into the box looking for a big CF.

Good goal and so far so good.Hope Jan is ok.

spurs starting to come forward, when they get the ball they are quite quick moving forward, so must close down spaces. I think we can score one more.

Oh man - that Neres shot should've gone in.

We were under pressure until Mazraoui came on for Schöne.

Good result but we could’ve scored more and the tie is still balanced.

man that neres chance....but great result! we win away and now all the pressure is on tottenham. apart for the first 35 minutes frenkie and tadic had very quite games imo, ziyech has absent for the most part as well. but a great result to take back home.

Defended well in the 2nd half and only the Neres shot on the post our only chance.Tie is not over as Son will play next week and he is a quality finisher. Exhausted watching that. Next up the Cup .

More than happy with that! Tottenham seemed to be giving it everything and could not break us, and we were always a threat on the break I felt
