Wonder goals: Ajax
So, you liked the PSV goals. Pfff…..take a look at these! JC, Marco, Schip, Zlatan, Jari and some bloke called Dennis?
Brits compare Van Persie with Rembrandt
By JONATHAN NORTHCROFT
As humble inhabitant of a nation of football players wearing slippers instead of football shoes, I was eagerly awaiting the birth of a new superstar: Robin van Persie.
I know his parents are both artists so I’d like to compare him with Rembrandt: a man with genius in his brush.
In the EPL, we saw [...]
Wonder goals: PSV
I’ve seen a lot of beauts and to be honest…some where by players wearing the PSV jersey. We’ve seen Van der Gijp’s rocket, Nilis’ trickery but in my search for Jurry Koolhof crackers I found this compilation. The best goals ever scored by a PSV player. Hmmm….I did miss Willy van der Kuylen, Kieft, Ronaldo [...]
Oranje prepares…
Robin van Persie will be fit enought to play with Oranje against the Socceroos on Saturday and Macedonia on Wednesday. The Gunner hurt his ankle last weekend, but it’s only a slight bruise.
Ibbie Afellay and Mark van Bommel train separately from the group, because they are obnoxious.
No, really :-). Afellay has a minor injury and [...]
Van Basten still in the dark…
Marco van Basten isn’t too confident for the first competition match with Ajax against Willem II tonight. “I am positively surprised with the enormous potential of this group. There’s a lot of very good young players. But, we’re basically a long way from the level that we’re looking for.”
You’re in the job for a month [...]
Dutch Eredivisie to start…
It’s about time too… The Olympic football tournament didn’t do it for me (while at this very moment Nigeria and Argentina play for the gold…). I think partly due to the horrible broadcast of this here Olympics, and due to Holland’s inability to live up to their reputation and ambitions.
So, let’s see if the Dutch [...]
Wonder goal: Pierre van Hooijdonk
Bert van Marwijk led Feyenoord to the UEFA Cup victory in 2002. Or did he?
This is probably one of the best free kicks ever! Eat your heart out Platini, Beckham and Roberto Carlos.
Pierre was da man!
Wonder goal: David Beckham
He’s not Dutch, I know… But he could have been, right? And it’s a yummie goal.
Why not?
Foppe: we didn’t have a Messi
Team manager Foppe de Haan admitted it. During the quarter finals yesterday between Holland and Argentina at times he really enjoyed Lionel Messi’s game. “Yeah, that’s a type of player we just don’t have,” he sighed.
Oranje lost 1-2 against Argentina in added extra time. De Haan was a bit sick of the late misses of [...]
Dutch Masters: Arnold “Arnie” Muhren
Arnold Muhren has been Ajax’ youth coach for eight years now and he is scout at Ajax. “I love working with players in the age group 10 to 14. That’s when you can really help them to progress. They’re sponges. Although it’s hard too sometimes. You see them back after summer break and they’ve grown [...]
