LOL what happens at Ajax. I've been following it every day and it's way better than any soap. I'm on Cruijffs side btw. (I'm fan of Feyenoord (arch rival) but this is fun.

And @Van Bommel discussion. I don't hate his style of playing what has been suggested, although I don't like it too. I think he's getting too old now to play in midfield, especially with his style of playing (more phisically than technically).

Are you a Porto fan since you go to Uni in Oporto? My apologies if you're not

dear god, rather dead then being an oporto fan. . . .

i am tremendous benfica fan but i have been greatly disappointed with benfica's transfer policy for the past few seasons. i mean there are only so much foreigns you can hire and portuguese superb talents you can waste. . . .

according to benfica's president tho that is supposed to change over the next couple of years, i will believe it when i see it.

btw timmy is there any valid reason for you to hate ronaldo and nani? i mean nani isn't even that famous and at least ronaldo isn't a complete hypocrite like saint messi or as i like to call him "the messiahs", you can smell the falseness on messi's i am such a good humble person attitude from continents apart.

I totally understand the amusement value of what's been going on this week for supporters of other clubs. On the other hand I, and most other Ajax fans, have been absolutely livid about the disgraceful and disrespectful way that one of the game's greatest ever icons, Johan Cruijff, has been treated by a bunch of nasty back-stabbing opportunists, who were only employed by the club in order to help put Cruijff's vision into practice.

I'm sure that all Dutch football fans watched VI and P&W tonight, and I'm sure that all will have been as shocked as I was to see the depths of duplicity these miserable schmucks sunk to in their efforts to discredit and embarrass Holland's greatest ever player and football thinker.

I urge anyone with any interest in the game to try and catch something of tomorrow night's game, Ajax vs NAC. The Amsterdam ArenA will be full to bursting and I fully expect massive, vocal pro-Cruijff demonstrations to take place. The majority of hard core fans share my feelings, which are basically, 'we're f***ing mad as hell and we're not going to take this sh!t any more'.

My apologies. I had idea you would support Benfica as your hometown is near the Spanish border, so I figured if it wasn't Porto, it would be a team like Braga who would be closer to where you live, rather than a team in Lisbon (unless your or family are from there, or have always just supported them).

I consider having ever seen him play to be a valid reason to hate Ronaldo. He represents everything that is wrong with the game (except one thing: he doesn't have his first name on the back of his shirt. If he had "Cristiano" on his shirt then we would be legally obliged to execute him).

O maravilho sem queixo is one of the most loathsome characters to ever play the game.

I can understand that.

The problem is two of 'them' (commissarissen) talked to the supporters who now don't know what to do. They were so smart to get Van Gaal so now the fans can't choose between Van Gaal and Cruijff. I heard the fans won't sing pro-Cruijff or pro-Van Gaal but pro-Ajax.

After the CL game against Dinamo Zagreb, Ronaldo said in response to being kicked throughout the game that the Dinamo players were jealpous that he was 'rich and handsome':

You really know how to bring out the worst in every footballer, don't you.

1 day to go for the biggest Asian club match.

Je kan er gif op nemen - you can bet your bottom dollar that the ArenA will be totally behind Cruiff tonight!

I'll trust you then

 

[Michielveedeebee]

And here I thought Axel Witsel was only interested in breaking people's legs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NuERX-5kc0

Man he's been cut down here in Belgium for that foul for 2 years, cut the guy some slack already

 

[Michielveedeebee]

I think these boys will win euro and if not in 14 then wc in 18.
Spain dominance must fear germany to some extent.



I hear ya, I didn't see the game but when we play abd were generally very good at it Van Bommel is a thug

They had to fear it at WC 2010 as well, best team of the tournament imo but played their worst match vs Spain in the Semi's

 

[Amsterhammer]

I've got a ticket for tonight!!!!

100% pro-Cruijff


...and proud of it!!

 

[ramjambunath]

Gladbach 5 Bremen 0

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Sundays match between Sevilla vs Athletic bilbao could be interesting..i will go for a Sevilla win, wont be suprised if its a draw. Libertine, what do you reckon?

every1 in my family has supported benfica for the past 3 generations so its in our blood

i am not ronaldo's biggest fan but its true that many people reason to hate him its because he is highly successful, in all departments( i mean have you seen his gf?!!! )

 

[Zam_Olyas]

Goetze scored so its dortmund 1 bayern munchen 0

 

[ramjambunath]

Dortmund win 1-0

Statistics for the season suggest Sevilla have to start as favourites (won 4 out of 6 at home, whereas Athletic have only won 1 of 5 away fixtures). Athletic will be happy with a point if you offer it to them now, but they have been in better form of late.

 

[palmerq]

saint mirren beat dunfermline 2-1... great result for the saints, 2 out of the 3 last games have been very good for us wins agaisnt direct rivals for survival... very important games and 2 wins... Kenny Maclean seems to be a good youngster(for scotland) I doubt he will be at saint mirren for long.... wait what do you mean no one cares abotu the spl :S

Schalke 4 - 0 with Huntelaar getting a brace:

 

[l.Harm]

Lol I watched Ajax-NAC, Amsterhammer must be mad. Ajax controlled the game and scored 2-0 with seven minutes to play. NAC didn't have a chance the whole game and then they scored two goals in the remaining time. Must have been 5-0 or something, this is really unbelievable.

But fun

 

[craig1985]

What a game between Valencia and Real Madrid with some lol wut defending and goal keeping and a miracle that there are still 22 players on the pitch.
