I think they originally made the Super Cup, to try to challenge Ajax after they won there third Champions League, because it started in 1973. As for Zenit, they would be competitors but the group is too tough I’d say, probably better for them to try to for the UEFA cup again. Not as tough as PSV’s group though. You know theres something wrong when Sporting Lisbon is a 2nd tier team, and Atletico is a 4th tier team.

@Jan & Goose: I had nothing better to do. Wasn’t a great game anyway,but it is hardly “pre-season” though.

Agree it is nothing but commercial nonsense, but still better than watching American soaps.

@Jan; youre just a very negative person!! haha..geintje

didnt watch the game and agree; just another change for the Uefa boys to fill their pockets!

this behaving thing will be a problem for us in the future; too many of these kids have problems being a proffessional; esp. the ones from the ‘lower classes’ out of broken families (sorry for the generalisation)…like Kluivert has shown us, it takes more than talent to be a great football player and i often wonder if any of these guys realize they play a TEAM sport, if the team win, they win and not the other way around

would love to see Drenthe let the Feyenoord bus wait in the years of Israel, vHanegem and Laseroms, hehe…they would make him an invalide!!

I haven’t seen the game. I’m not a fan of Super Cups. It’s stupid. Me thinks it’s just for commercial reasons. I can’t imagine players ever telling their grandchildren they won the super cup. It’s all pre-season and all… Couldn’t be bothered…

Am I too negative?

Did anyone see EVDS mess up on the first goal of Zenit in the Supercup? Pretty rare to see him flapping around like that.

Zenit will be no pushover in the CL for sure. I like the big fella Pogrebjonak or whatever his name is. Imagine Russia had him available in the EC as well?

I’d like Drenthe to keep the bus waiting with Van Bommel inside it (or Neeskens for that matter)… That’s how these little jerks including VanPersie learns their lessons.

Buying an expensive watch (in China of all places…I think Rolex is made in Switzerland so why not fly there on a day off from Madrid? It’s not like he is poor, is it?…) is really not one of the priorities in life for most people.
