I'm sure Johan Cruyff (or Cruijjff, if you prefer) had performed his famous turn long before the
1974 Wolrd Cup. He was probably Cruyff Turning all over the place while playing football for Ajax
in the '60s and '70s. But that was long before YouTube, long before footage from any league in the
world could be uploaded and shared globally.
In April 2009, Holland coach Marco Van Basten criticised Rafael Benitez's handling of Ryan Babel,
noting that the player had taken a step backward since his arrival at Anfield. This week, Babel has
once again expressed his dissatisfaction with the way he is treated at Liverpool. Has Babel failed
or is Rafa Benitez to blame for not giving the player a consistent chance?
The last time many of us saw DaMarcus Beasley, his miss on a corner launched a
Brazilian counter-attack that led to the eventual trouncing of the US in the group phase of the
Confederations Cup. It was the culmination of a number of mediocre and lackluster performances
from him in the national team shirt, which was the only shirt he was wearing due to his lack of
play at his club Rangers in Scotland.
Must be nice being a director of sport or the like. Christmas doesn't start and stop on December
25th it just goes on and on until we hit the month of February. It's like Hanukkah on steroids, but
without the menorah or latkes. Though much like Christmas, it's filled with ridiculous stories, far
too [.
(video gol highlights di Timisoara-Ajax)
Tutto deciso nel Gruppo A. L'Ajax rimonta la rete iniziale di Goga e, con la coppia gol
Suarez-Pantelic, vola nei sedicesimi di Europa League. Sconfitta indolore, invece, per i belgi
dell'Anderlecht che cadono, in casa, contro la Dinamo Zagabria (0-1, gol di Slepicka) ma passano il
turno a braccetto con gli olandesi.
Sixteen year old midfielder Kristjan Gauti Emilsson is to join Liverpool in the first weeks of
December, according to the Icelandic website fotbolti.net. The attacking midfielder who is already
six feet four, currently plays for Icelandic champions FH Hafnarfjordur - he has already made his
senior debut for them - had a trial at Melwood during which he impressed enough for Liverpool to
make an offer.
The Arsenal and Holland legend Dennis Bergkamp has turned down an offer from Arsene Wenger to
return to Arsenal. Bergkamp is currently working at Ajax training the youth teams, but he says he
is not looking for the high pressure work that he would be expected to do as head coach at the
Emirates. "They want [.
The Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen, who has built up a special relationship with William Gallas
since his arrival from Ajax, believes that Arsene Wenger is building a "new Barcelona" with his
gifted youngsters. The fans have given him the nickname "The Verminator" for his no-nonsense style,
and he is more than happy with the new monniker.
I've put some effort in and tried to work out exactly when Johan Cruyff scored this incredible two
touch goal. It's definitely for Ajax and against ADO Den Haag, and so may be the 1972 KNVB Cup
Final which Ajax won 3-2. Equally, it could be a random Eredivisie game. If you know for sure,

According to ESPN Soccernet, the agent of Ajax defender Gregory Van der
Wiel stated that Manchester City have been following his client.
Hakim Slimani told Voetbal International,
"There is no official contact between Ajax and Manchester City .
The MLS Generation Adidas team closed out their trip to South Africa today when they took on the
reserves of Cape Town Ajax. The GA team came away with their second win of the trip, defeating Cape
Town 2-0. Once again, Chicago Fire forward, Patrick Nyarko got a goal, his 3rd goal of the trip, to
open the scoring for the MLSers.
Olympiakos v Panathinaikos, Greece
History
In 1908 the rich boys from central Athens founded Panathinaikos. It wasn't until 1925 when the
rivalry kicked in when the workers from a port city called Piraeus started Olympiakos. By 1940 the
workers had won 6 championships, proving that money doesn't buy titles.
Se dice que la oferta de Cruz Azul por el Chaco Gimenez es demasiado jugosa para los
tuzos y lo cederían para el clausura 2010.
Ante esto, el club Pachuca estaría a punto de firmar a Dario Cvitanich,
procedente del Ajax de Holanda.
Este jugador de 25 años es argentino de origen croata y viene de una mala
temporada con el conjunto holandés donde estuvo más minutos en la banca que dentro del terreno de
juego.
Adriano is one of the hottest properties on the seas after helping Flamengo win their first title
in three and a half decades. "Many offers have arrived already, largely because he's on a "free".
And in Adriano's case, "free" means...he'll probably show up to training some combination of fat,
drunk and/or stupid, earn a long [.

The Arsenal defender Thomas Vermaelen, who has had a massive impact on the club since joining from
Ajax at the beginning of the summer, has admitted that he had the chance to join Tottenham three
years ago, but turned down the chance to join Arsenal's great rivals. "As I say that is one of the
reasons [.
Anyone who knows me knows I love to travel to Europe to scout and do professional development.
Let's face it, there's a lot we can learn by going over there and seeing how training is done and
what the atmosphere is like. Not that there's anything wrong with American training methods per se,
but you can always learn more, you can always improve, and a lot of Western European teams are at
the place we want to be.

Real Madrid Dutch midfielder Rafael Van Der Vaart is linked with a January move to Arsenal.
Van Der Vaart is desperate to leave Spain and revive his career in the Premier League, according to
the News of The World.
Wenger in need to strengthen his squad with the long-term injury of forward Robin Van Persie and
the lingering fitness doubts of two his attacking midfielders in Rosicky and Walcott.
Still feeling it? I know you are. You're not quite sure what the underlying feeling is, but you
know you like what it is. It's called confidence. It may not last, such sweet things are often
fleeting, but I'm enjoying feeling confident that if we could pull that around at Anfield, if the
boss is able to raise his voice and declare all before him unfit to wear the Arsenal shirt, then
maybe, just maybe, this team might just be starting to get it.
Uruguay striker Luis Suarez has reiterated that he will not be leaving Ajax before the World Cup
finals.
The 22-year-old is the leading scorer in Holland by some margin, with 18 to his name already this
term.
This has seen the likes of Liverpool and Manchester United linked with him, though Chelsea are
believed to be leading the chase for his services.
"Sí, vuelvo", contó Paolo Suárez desde Uruguay. Viaja el 1 de enero y se incorporará a
Metapán. El uruguayo se fue a mitad de año, intentó probar suerte en Holanda, donde su hermano
juega en el Ajax, luego firmó con Fénix de Uruguay -último en la tabla-, pero no pudo jugar.
Así que ahora regresa al equipo donde más rindió.
Stasera conosceremo le altre squadre qualificate ai sedicesimi di Europa League. Si chiude la fase

Having spent the majority of last weekend hunched over a PC producing the Onion Bag Christmas
podcast (which I really hope you'll take the time to listen to) there was no oppurtunity for me to
watch any football. Naturally I've caught up with the latest shenanigans with Jens Lehmann and the
hilarity that was Hannover managing to score 6 (six) goals and still lose to 'Gladbach but that's
old news.
Ecco i sorteggi dei Sedicesimi di Finale di Europa League. La Roma pesca il Panathinaikos, la
Juventus l'Ajax.1. Rubin Kazan (Rus) – Hapoel Tel Aviv (Isr)2. Athletic Bilbao (Spa) –
Anderlecht (Bel)3. Copenaghen (Dan) – Olympique Marsiglia (Fra)4. Panathinaikos (Gre) – Roma5.
Atletico Madrid (Spa) – Galatasaray (Tur)6.
The "eliminated" teams from the Champions League join the qualifiersof the Group stages in the
Europa League to march onward & be allthrown into a draw celebrated today to be matched up.Here is
the result of the draw:Rubin Kazan - Hapoel Tel Aviv ; Athletic Bilbao - Anderlecht ;Copenhague -
Olympique de Marsella ; Panathinaikos - AS Roma ;Atletico de Madrid – Galatasaray; Ajax -
Juventus ;Brujas
Se, nel sorteggio della Champions League, la mano di Butragueno non è stata per nulla fortunata
per quanto riguarda le italiane ancora in corsa (Inter, Milan e Fiorentina), è andata meglio
invece a Romae Juventus, in Europa League. La Roma se la vedr con i greci del Panathinaikos (la
prima ad Atene), avversari di tutto rispetto ma sicuramente non i primi della classe.
Classic games coming up. The group stages aren't that exciting for me, but now we're talking!!!
Juventus beat Ajax in the 1996 Champions League final ( I still remember Frank de Boer and Ed van
der Sar stumble) and this next Europa League game offers the Sons of Gods

Ties to be played February 18th/25th
*Bold signifies our predicted winners over the two-legged match ups.
News emerged recently suggesting that Ferguson will not spend money in January on another
striker; choosing instead to place his faith in the goalscoring of Berbatov to complement
Rooney's.
The article was quick to pounce on Ferguson's rationale; highlighting ignorant yet pivotal
stats about Dimitar's goalscoring: ‘18 goals in 58 games and just five in his past 28 matches for
the club.
About this time last year if you were asked whether you wanted Klaas-Jan Huntelaar in your team
you'd probably have been pretty excited by the prospect.
The man was a goal-machine, albeit in a weaker Dutch league, but was untested in a stronger
European one. However, he has a strong goal-scoring record at international level.
He looks relaxed in his trainers. He just played a game with the ex internationals, in which he is
his dominant self. Fanatical and directing the defence. Winston Bogarde (38), ex Sparta, Ajax, AC
Milan, FC Barcelona and Chelsea. And now: studying to be a coach in Ireland. Bogarde received the
Pro Duta may have the big names, including one time Ajax trialee Irvin Museng, but they were rarely
in this game as Persikota's slick passing tore them apart time and time again.
The home side looked stronger at the back than they did against Persiba, despite or because of a
player being suspended, while going forward plenty of neat passing had the tardy visitors chasing
shadows of shadows.
Martin Jol's Ajax played amateur club WHC Wezep at their 500-seat ground in a Dutch Cup round of
16 match today and they won. By a lot. Like, 14-1 a lot. Seriously, they won 14-1.
It was 6-1 at halftime, with all six of Ajax's goals coming in the first 33 minutes, then WHC
nipped their lone goal just before the break.
(video gol highlights di Whc-Ajax)
Spaventoso Ajax in Coppa D'Olanda. C'è da dire che l'avversario, il Whc Wezep, squadra che milita
nella serie corrispondente alla nostra Lega Pro, non era sicuramente un test attendibile, ma i
lancieri fanno sul serio e spaventano la Juve, prossimo avversario nei sedicesimi di Europa League.
Luis Suarez scored six goals for Ajax against WHC in the fourth round of the KNVB Beker.
The game can be described as generally being a one sided no contest as the final score line read 14
- 1 .
