a little late, but i’ve been away and playing catch-up on all the great posts i’ve missed when i was gone.

fav club: ajax, arsenal, barca
fav player (current): van der Vaart, van Persie, Kuijt and non-dutchies like xavi, gerrard and cesc
fav player (all-time): Cocu, Bergkamp and Cruijff
best moment: EC88, Bergkamp vs Argentina WC98, and oranje-italy EC08
Changes: this blog is awesome as is, but i really like the potential of the new “thanks for the memories” series, hopefully revisiting great moments and players in Oranje’s history (especially for those of us who weren’t around for the great teams of the 70’s). Btw kuddos to Jan and all other contributors for creating a place for true oranje fans to interact without all of the BS and fighting/insults that is apprent on most of the other football related blogs.

1. Favorite club today – Ajax forever!
2. Favorite player today- Luis Suarez, Ismail Aissati and Jari Litmanen (he is still playing : )
3. Fave player ever- Jari Litmanen, Brothers De Boer, Marco Van Basten
4. Most memorable football moment – Goal No 1 (Litmanen) Ajax-Bayern CL 95, Bergkamp’s last minute goal against Argentina in WC 98.
5. What would you like to see differently on this blog in the next season – bit more Ajax and Dutch league news would be nice. More focus on other teams in the dutch league.

@Sandesh: There are often different inside perspectives around the national teams that Holland faces. For example, I have done frequent updates on Norway and Iceland, somebody did one on Scotland, and someone even did one on Tunisia. I am sure Carlos will do one on Australia. I think that is very useful and exactly what one wants on a Holland blog.

I think if you want more than that, just do what Carlos suggests, take a look at the country of your choice.

Sandesh – If you want to read what’s happening in other countries there are 30+ blogs on this page about other countries from the biggest fans of those countries. As fiercely loyal (if not more) as us and some good inside views. Just scroll up and look at all the flags to click on for the inside stories.
