After watching this match I can see why dutch football is not where it was in the past. Although both teams tried to play and open game most of the time the ball was played around in the midfield and only on a few occasions, mostly on the counter, the ball reached a penalty box.
Feyenoord won the game with two goals to zero, both scored in counterattack situations and one of them with a lot of help from a naive and very young PSV central defender.

One to watch - Georginio Wijnaldum (now playing for PSV after coming from Feyenoord)
I always thought of the Eredivisie as a league with very attractive football, always straightforward and with lots and lots of goals. Today I'm going to watch the match between Feyenoord and PSV, two of the giants in dutch football.

I saw a very nice match last night, a match that had almost everything in it, penalties, a very late goal and great comebacks.
CFR seemed the team that had the better players and controlled the first half, but in spite of their dominance the first goal was scored by Dinamo. 0-1 but nothing was even close to being decided.

Today I'm going to watch the match between the teams in second and first place in the Romanian League.
CFR Cluj is a team that has enjoyed a good spell in the last four years with two qualifications in the UEFA Champions League which is pretty big for Romanian standards. They had a new approach for a Romanian team which was to heavily import foreign players and so far it seems to work for them with seven trophies won in the last 4 years.

Although the game ended 1-1 it was a very disputed match. After a quickfire goal by Wolfsburg in the 65th second through Mandzukic, the wolves retreated and Hamburg pushed forward in a good fashion and the goal could not be very far. Petric equalized in the 56 minute and Hamburg seemed ready to push even harder and get the win, but that didn't happen as they seemed out of fuel.

Heiko Westermann - Hamburgs captain
Today I'm going to see a match from the Bundesliga between Hamburger SV and Wolfsburg.
Hamburg is the only team that always played in the Bundesliga from its foundation in 1963, thus earning the nickname "The Dinosaurs". Unfortunately for them, they currently are in the last place.

Liverpool 1-1 Manchester United
I just saw a good match, maybe not as good as I was hoping, but all in all a good watch. United started with a team that was almost unrecognizable, with Phil Jones and Danny Welbeck. It seems that after last year's Champions League final, Ferguson is trying to bring some fresh blood to his first eleven, and today was a perfect example for that if you look at the substitutes bench where he left Rooney, Nani, Anderson and Hernandez between others.

This is a list with the top 10 football derbies in Europe, each with a little history and some graphical information. To make it clear a derby is a match between teams from the same city, so no, Barcelona - Real and such other very important and fascinating games will not be on the list. I will focus more on the rivalry and not really on international results.

After a 2-2 on Sunday, we will have another El Clasico on Wednesday, at Nou Camp. The season has barely started and we are offered a double portion of the most expected game in the world. Some might say that the SuperCopa is not a really sought after trophy, and I agree with that, but the rivalry will surely make it another disputed match.

It's time for a little history as we talk about the best Romanian football player of all time.
The Romanian national football team had the most success in the '90, when they only missed one final tournament, the Euro 92. One more notable period for the team is the participation in the first 3 World Cups (1930, 1934 and 1938), although without much to brag about.

The European Cup is the most prestigious club tournament in world football and in the last few years, since its expansion into its current Champions League format, the tournament has become even more honoured (if that's even possible!) with teams battling away every season to become part of the rich history of the European Cup.

This article is based on a talk I had with my girlfriend the other day about the routine of her job. Being a pharmacist, she always feels the need to inform me on the lastest medical products that appear on the pharmaceutical market, although my lack of interest regarding this subject is more than obvious.

I am not only a football fan but I also enjoy reading a good magazine and looking at beautiful women. You can do that also in this month's edition of FHM, featuring Nicole Scherzinger. Yeah, I'm sure you know her, but you can also find a lot of other great articles. Find out more about that here: http://www.
