Ajax v Feyenoord, Holland
History
It all began as a clash of cultures. Feyenoord were supported by the dock workers from the built up
part of Rotterdam, while Ajax by the richer, more sophiscated side of Amsterdam.
Magic moments
This fixture is full of goals, goals, super goals as big Frank frank would say.

This week included two gigantic matches in world football, the North London Derby, Arsenal against

place Juventus, Portsmouth start getting the three points needed to start moving up the Premiership
table.

Has to be a quick one this weekend due to the imminent arrival of most of wife's family for
lunch, then I'm straight off to a game in the Championship. Last weekend I managed to watch no
football whatsoever due to a family gathering and a wedding ('Likely Lads' moment: I was the guest
with the mobile phone looking at score updates from Liverpool/Man U during the
speeches), so I'm looking forward to this weekend, especially Ajax v
Feyenoord tomorrow lunchtime (ESPN)
It's about an hour or so to go before the lunchtime game: Arsenal v
Spurs (12:45pm, Sky Sports 1) looks a tasty one, Arsenal have won all four of
their home league games this season and Spurs have a decent away record; the rest of today's slate
is notable for the players that are missing.

The top two teams in Ligue 1 and the Portuguese First Division square off in two of the bigger
matches of the weekend in Europe.
French champs Bordeaux take on surprising Monaco in a battle of table-toppers, while Benfica

Those are just two of the weekend's best clashes.

Es divertido y ayuda a encarar las jornadas que se nos echan enicma con una sonrisa el acordarnos
de los que han ayudado a colocar al fútbol en el lugar que ocupa. Hoy es turno para un jugador que
quizás haya podido llevar mejor su carrera, pero cumplió siempre allá donde le reclamaron:
Pierre Van Hooijdonk.

With Rangers getting closer and closer to almost becoming Leeds United, maybe its time for both
Celtic and Rangers to run away from the Scottish Premier League and head for greener pastures.
Rangers 's club's bankers Lloyds are owed £30million by the end of the campaign. With a TV
contract that is nothing to celebrate the only way that they maybe be able to meet the payment is
to sell half of the first team.

After 415 goals in 769 games Henrik Larsson has decided to call it quits. The Celtic,
Helsinborg, Feyenoord, Man United and Barcelona legend was a player who was universally admired and
at 38 after two decades in the game he has hung up his boots. What's the Swedish for 'Well
done'?.

The Offside 21 October @ 03:30 PM EST
Henrik Larsson, the once ageless wonder who'd begun to show plenty of age, has finally decided to
hang up his boots with near immediate effect. Three games remain in a rather pedestrian
Helsignborgs season and three games remain in Henrik's footballing career. Unless he's summoned
back for World Cup 2014 qualifying, of course.

While the Aughts have been full of speculation/proposal about the Old Firm joining the EPL, the
90's was about the Old Firm joining what was dubbed as the Atlantic League. It was a joint proposal
from the big clubs in the Netherlands, Scotland and Portugal. ESPN is reporting that there may be
another attempt at this break away league, which would involve the aforementioned clubs along with
Belgium and the Scandinavian clubs.

Anfield Talk 12 October @ 12:40 PM EST
Dutch international Dirk Kuyt has stressed how he is enjoying life on Merseyside with Liverpool
despite the club's poor start to the season.
The striker, who played for his homeland in a friendly against the Socceroos in Australia this
week, is expected to feature against Sunderland despite his long round-trip and hopes that the Reds
can now focus on getting their title challenge back on track.

This could be nothing serious, but the definition of blogging is making something out of nothing,
so Fernando Torres' groin injury does seem to offer a bit of a silver lining for Liverpool attacker
Dirk Kuyt - from a fantasy footie perspective.
Torres always seems to suffer some sort of niggling injury or another every season he's been at
Liverpool - and when he does, it's usually the Dutchman Kuyt who steps in to fill the striker's
role.

Interesting results this weekend... Feyenoord wins (shouldn't surprise, but quite honestly still
does a bit) with the help of young guns Wijnaldum, Biseswar and Slory. The latter scored one,
Tomasson scored the second and Wijnaldum the third: 3-0 against RKC. Ajax played away against Roda
JC, since decades a tough opponent

A raíz de la entrada de ayer, caí en la cuenta de que en la sección de Leyendas no figuraba el

Getting better all the time.
A lot was made about the horrific challenge Robin Van Persie received during Arsenal's defeat at
Man City but the Dutchman also put away a very typical finish that illustrated just how instinctive
and lethal he can be in front of goal, he then went on to close on two or three more occasions as
the game to a close and further showed why, now in his sixth season at the north London club, he
may be hitting his best form, the form that could well get the Gunners purring again.

I have watched this 20 times and it's clear to me that a) Robin Van Persie puts in a poorly
timed (but not malicious) tackle and b) Emmanuel Adebayor deliberately stamped on the Arsenal
striker. Anyone think differently?

Yes the USA is very close to qualifying for the 2010 World Cup for next summer and this coming
October there will be two more matches remaining for the Nats when they visit Honduras on the 10th

qualified for South Africa then we can watch the World Cup Draw this coming December 5th.

The big clubs have been relatively quiet recently, but it looks like things are picking up on
that front as the end of the summer transfer season edges nearer.
Another long-running transfer saga has bitten the dust, as Wesley Sneijder's
future has been resolved, and though it may not be the ending that he wanted in the beginning, it's
the one that works out best for him.

Today is the day that I have decided to finally get something off my chest that has been bugging
me for over a season now. I do not doubt that it will seem somewhat controversial to many of you,
but let me tell you now before anyone has the audacity to disagree, I am right. It goes like this:
Behind the obvious talisman of Steven Gerrard and of course ‘Nando' Torres, Dirk Kuyt is the next
best Liverpool player.

Just a limited post on some football this weekend. Haven't seen much, so please comment or add to
my comments... In Holland, Feyenoord took the lead in the competition based on the goal difference.
The Been-led club won against Roda JC comfortably, 4-0 in De Kuip. Makaay, De Cler and Hofland

Heracles Almelo may have lost the game against Feyenoord last weekend, Heracles coach Verbeek must
have felt a little victorious when he saw his rebels on the bench. Roy Makaay, Kevin Hofland, Tim

Wim Rijsbergen was a debutant in Feyenoord 1. A young bloke, who came to the big smoke from PEC

El 15 de Junio de 1974, en mi opinión y en la de muchos, cambió el futbol al presentarse la
Selección de Holanda en la Copa del Mundo de Alemania 74.
Rinus Michel presentó un esquema innovador y revolucionario que entre otros

Argentina y Brasil, quienes no quedaron con ninguna duda de su
inferioridad.

On behalf of some of my MLSR colleagues, I have the following tidbits mainly from Tribal
Football:
-Jozy Altidore could be going on loan to Hull City
-Michael Bradley could go back to PSV Eindhoven or Feyenoord
-Freddy Adu wants to go Dutch, not just for the big teams like Ajax and Feyenoord, but even NAC
Breda or FC Groningen if he gets a chance to play and develop
-Bryan Arguez is on trial with Belgium giants Charleroi
-Tony Taylor, a USMNT U-20 striker, is on trial with IK Start
