The treatment of officials is very much at the forefront in Dutch football at the moment as the country continues to mourn and lament the tragicallysenseless death of amateur linesman Richard Nieuwenhuizen and, with that firmly in mind, refereeSerdar Gozubuyuk made a pronounced point of standing up for himself on Saturday evening.
When Jozy Altidore steps onto the field for AZ Alkmaar this weekend, he will be looking to do more than just help the club grab its second win in its last five games.
He will also be aiming to score for the first time in more than a month.
Though he has delivered a pair of game-winning assists during the same time frame, Altidore has not found the back of the net in a league game since Sept.

This is probably taking youth scouting to an altogether different level! Catching them young? Yeah,
catch kids when they are still in their nappies! VVV Venlo, a Dutch professional football outfit,
have signed 18 month old toddler Baerke van der Meij. Van der Meij came to VVV Venlo's attention
after his father posted a video [.

better team but we took our chances," [.

AZ Alkmaar hit six against Venlo. Eredivisie front-runners PSV Eindhoven fired home a 90th minute

the home side after defender Bart Biemens [.
EINDHOVEN, Netherlands PSV Eindhoven enjoyed a one-sided 3-0 victory over strugglers VVV-Venlo to
maintain their slender advantage at the top of the Eredivisie. Wilfred Bouma and Jeremain Lens gave
the visitors an interval lead before Atiba Hutchinson put the result beyond doubt at the start of
the second half.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands The cold snap wiped out three of Sunday's four scheduled games in the
Eredivisie, including the clash between arch rivals Ajax and Feyenoord. The Dutch FA opted to
postpone the fixture due to heavy snowfall in Amsterdam with the game rearranged for January 19.
They were advised that road conditions around the [.
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands Ajax moved to within three points of Eredivisie leaders PSV Eindhoven as

VVV Venlo may well be the winner of the best celebration of the season so far. The club won their game 3-1 this weekend, but the match was in severe danger of being postponed. The cold weather in Holland had led to the pitch being frozen after recent snowfall. Home supporters braved the temperatures by [.
Forgetting the loose morals of the issue, we are thinking of creating a baby football team. Last year we scouted our striker: the one-year-old Dutch baby who was given an eighteen month contract by VVV Venlo after showing his skills in the playroom. We now also have our goalkeeper, who showed incredible bravery in saving [.
Nigerian youngster wants to play for Arsenal by AM
CSKA Moscow attacker Ahmed Musa has said that he wants to play for Arsenal sometime in his future. The Nigerian international is highly rated and was brought by the Russian side this summer from VVV-Venlo. The Dutch side does have a considerable reputation in producing young talents.
Sport.co.uk understands that CSKA Moscow striker Keisuke Honda will not be leaving the club in the
summer despite rumoured interest from Liverpool, Arsenal and AC Milan.
On the back of the Japanese international's superb performances at the World Cup finals last
summer, the 24-year-old was lauded as the player of the tournament by Gunners boss Arsene Wenger,
who alongside Kenny Dalglish and Serie A giants AC Milan, have been perpetually credited as
admirers of the precocious youngster.
Keisuke Honda's agent has stamped on rumours that Liverpool have tabled a £10million offer for the
Japan midfielder.
Honda, who joined CSKA Moscow from Dutch club VVV Venlo, has impressed in the Russian top flight
since his arrival in January on a four-year deal.
The 24-year-old has attracted interest from top outfits across Europe, with Liverpool the reported
front-runners to secure his signature, prompting CSKA to reveal on Wednesday they are willing to
let him go for the right price when the transfer window opens.
FC Twente's hopes of a first ever league title took a potentially huge blow at
the AZ Stadion this evening as outgoing champions AZ Alkmaar narrowly won a closely fought
encounter 1-0.
The end may be nigh for AZ Alkmaar's reign as kings of Holland but this
victory, secured by way of a Peter Wisgerhof own-goal in the 7th minute, could
well determine their old crown's next destination.
Ajax annihilated Venlo at the Amsterdam Arena as they put pressure back on league leaders FC
Twente. Luis Suarez and Marko Pantelic both scored hat-tricks.

The Champions League group stage starts this week, and so this weekend was always going to be a
bit of a preliminary hangover, as teams prepare for matchday 1 on Tuesday and Wednesday. Though
teams are always a little softer before European matches because of squad rotation and some players
probably holding back to avoid injuries, this seemed to be a particularly bad weekend for the
Champions League bound.

Altidore scored his latest goal for AZ Alkmaar on Friday,netting the third goal for the club in a 4-1 victory over VVV Venlo.

Rarely do we have the opportunity to offer thanks to the powers that be in football for
addressing the issues that matter to us. We're still waiting for the ruling that abolishes base
layers, for a start.
Depois de não ter conseguido convencer os responsáveis de Club Brugge e VVV Venlo, Rabiu Ibrahim
está agora, de acordo com a imprensa do seu país, a efectuar mais um período de testes no
Telstar SC, actual 15º classificado da IIª Divisão da Holanda. Aos 19 anos, o nigeriano - que
