Feyenoord beat PSV 2-1 at De Kuip over the weekend to whittle down Eindhoven's lead at the top of the Eredivisie to just three points, but it was the guff that followed the match which has gained the most attention.
Having already had a bit of a barney on the pitch during a tetchy match, PSV's Jeremaine Lens was caught on 'tunnel-cam' lurking at the top of the stairs for Joris Mathijsen to come in from the pitch and, after waiting for some time, Lens pounced on the Feyenoord centre-half, grabbing a handful of Mathijsen's shirt before a multi-man fracas ensued.

The world cup is over which means it's time to analyse it till we are blue in the face.

In yesterday's World Cup final preview, I picked out five key matchups for today's World Cup final.
Five obvious player vs player battles that could decide who goes home with the trophy. I know it's
cliché and I know it's not an entirely accurate way to represent a football match.

A Holanda foi a primeira seleção a reduzir seu grupo de convocados para a Copa do Mundo da
África do Sul. Nesta sexta-feira, o técnico Bret Van Marwijk anunciou o corte de três jogadores,
todos meio-campistas: Otman Bakkal, do PSV Eindhoven, Wout Brama, do Twente, e David Mendes da
Silva, do AZ Alkmaar.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's international career appears to be over after the veteran striker missed out

Holland coach Bert Van Marwijk has named his provisional squad for this
summer's World Cup, with the former Feyenoord boss selecting a draft of 30 players, to be trimmed
down to 23 names before the deadline passes on June 1st.

Ok, so we've reached the most decisive month of the football calendar (oh come on now.. it's
never about Ibiza in December!) and that means that ya'll should tune your ears
and start sending roses to Del Bosque, Fabio Capello and van Marwijk's assistants
as soon as possible!
Holland head coach Lambertus Van Marwijk has announced the 26-man training squad for the world cup.
The former Feynoord and Borussia Dortmund manager has opted not to call Arjen Robben, Mark van
Bommel and Wesley Sneijder to allow them to remain in their club prior to the UEFA Champions League
final next month.
The Dutch have been the poorest shooting team in the Euros averaging almost 14 attempts off
target per match. They managed to beat Russia and Aleksandr Kherzakov to second best by about 3
attempts. Against Denmark, the Dutch sprayed the ball all over the place like drunks taking a
wiz.
Most of this scoring futility has been the result of leaving the ball at the feet of Arjen
Robben and Robin Van Persie.
Transfer are always the talking point during pre-season (and for many, the lack of them).
Obviously we're all much more aware of what's been happening here in Albion and the big money
transfers, but around Europe teams have been snapping up bargains all over the show, so we have
compiled an eleven of players signed up in what may turn out to be inspired deals.
Fabio Capello is embarrassed. The Capello Index has turned sour for the England coach after the
team was dumped out unceremoniously by Germany. Who can vouch for an index that bears his name? It
is like calling it the Bernie Madoff Index of Business Integrity.
Going over the "best team of the tournament" is always difficult since some really good players
play for some inferior teams, and thus don't get to strut their stuff late into the tournament,
when most have already forgotten about them.
So we've solved the problem: one XI with those who've received maximum exposure semifinal teams
only and one best XI of those dumped out in the quarterfinals or earlier.
For some reason this feels like an upset. I thought I considered Netherlands and Brazil to be
pretty much equals going into this game, but Netherlands 2-1 win now feels like an underdog biting
one of the alpha dogs.
Fulham's supporters just put the icing on the cake for Clint Dempsey's historic season.
The club announced Thursday that Dempsey has been voted Fulham's Player of the Season by the
club's fans for the second straight year. The honor comes as no surprise for the 29-year-old, who
scored 23 goals in all competitions despite logging most of his minutes in the Cottagers'
midfield.
The Netherlands begin their UEFA Euro 2012 preparations with a friendly against Bulgaria. The
match will take place at the Amsterdam Arena in Amsterdam, Netherlands with kickoff is scheduled

"We will do everything, although I won't explain how we will do it.
Most domestic seasons haven't closed, yet the names of those heading off to the lands of
continental glory in the Polkraine are already dropping, along with some of the squads to be
whittled down in the coming weeks (the deadline being May 29th). Today Giovanni Trappatoni
announced Ireland's formal 23 and Germany a damn close 27.
For the first time in quite a while, neither Real Madrid nor Barcelona placed among the five
biggest spenders of the summer according to Transfermarkt.
Madrid shelled out just 55 million euros, and a large chunk of that was reserved for Fabio
Coentrao. Nuri Sahin, Jose Callejon and Raphael Varane arrived for modest fees, while Hamit
Altintop was acquired on a free.

Is He Sure He's German? Helmes Misses Twice From The Spot.
What a round! Mainz, Borussia Dortmund, Hamburg and Bayer Leverkusen have all been knocked out
of the DFB Pokal tonight after some shocking results. Germany's lower league sides certainly have
shown that they can battle the best of them, but Bundesliga supporters will be dismayed by the
night's events.
Louis van Gaal's side were lucky to leave the Imtech Arena with anything at all after Die Roten
were outplayed by their hosts for large parts of the match. Bayern Munich's inability to sustain
periods of possession nearly cost them, but some heroic goalkeeping from Hans-Jorg Butt and a
little bit of paint off the woodwork saved Bayern Munich from succumbing to what could have been
their fourth defeat of the season.
