No more changes: Ajax says no to 40 Million!
It’s over and done with. No more transfers till the Winter window.
Ajax found itself in a little dilemma when two sub top clubs from Europe dangled a carrot of the value of 40 Mio euros in Van Basten’s face: Klaas Jan Huntelaar being the sacrifice for that. But, Ajax said, they weren’t of the calibre [...]
Dutch Masters: Adrie van Tiggelen
Adrie now…
EC1988 winner Adrie van Tiggelen is assistant coach at Sparta and is a happy trooper. “Head coach Foeke Booy allows me to do the training often. He just observes, while I do the work. I keep track of progress and discuss the program with him. When Aandewiel was coach, the board asked me to [...]
Bert van Marwijk’s summer-tour
Mark van Bommel is back!
Today, Bert van Marwijk’s tenure with Oranje really starts. In the past couple of weeks he traveled around Europe to see his boys perform again after the EC2008. The friendly against Russia will be “the introduction game”, according to Van Marwijk, who knows six players from personal history at Feyenoord and [...]
Wondergoals: Marciano Vink
We live in the YouTube age and everything that has been filmed or will be filmed can be found in a matter of seconds (or if you live in Australia: minutes…).
I will never forget this particular moment. A great goal by one-time-supertalent Marciano Vink. The Ajax player – destined to become the next Ruud Krol [...]
A bit of everything
FC Twente played an impressive match against big guns Arsenal for the CL qualifications in Enschede.
Although the McLaren team never looked liked they’d whip the Gunners’ arses, a goalless draw seemed possible. Arsenal benefited from a defensive blunder after an hour of play, when the Tukkers forgot to clear a Van Persie free kick and [...]
Ruud van Gol: enough is enough
Almost ten years after his debut in Oranje Ruud van Nistelrooy decided to stop as international. The 32 year old striker wants to focus fully on his career with Real Madrid.
He already told new team manager Bert van Marwijk that the WC2010 is a bridge too far. Van Nistelrooy said he didn’t take his decision [...]
Best Oranje Ever: part 3: creative midfielders
I’ve got myself into a pickle a bit… I explained it earlier… Being totally biased ( ) I expect we all want Marco to be our center striker, but what do we do with one Johan Cruyff, who played basically on every position (apparently, he was a very good goalkeeper as well!)? So, [...]
Looking ahead to the WC2010 :-)
The 2010 World Championship in South Africa is unique to start with. Never before was there a WC in Africa. Holland shares the qualifications group with Scotland, Norway, Macedonia and Iceland. None of these nations were at the EC2008.
The WC will be held from 11 June to 11 July 2010.
New team manager
After the EC2008, [...]
Jaap Stam farewell match with Romario and Maldini
Arsahvin: “I’m sorry I never had to chance to play against Stam… NOT!”
Jaap Stam is one of those players who took the long and winding road to the top. Never acknowledged by the selection-masters of Zeist when he was young, Stam started his pro career at FC Zwolle. Went to Cambuur before making a name [...]
