Harvsky 2,363 Posted March 22, 2017 Surprised we don't have a thread yet. Fatrick Pievert's son scored his first Eredivisie goal 10 years after his father scored his last in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tarzanontoast 10 Posted April 21, 2017 I’m all for Video Refs instead of 5th officials who stand beside the goal like lemons. They are not worthwhile, at all! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cannabis 3,421 Posted April 25, 2017 The Cruyff Legacy lives on: Ajax agree to new stadium name On the day Johan Cruyff would have turned 70, his home city has agreed to name Ajax's stadium after the Dutch football legend. Amsterdam Municipality says it has agreed with the stadium and Eredivisie giants Ajax to change the name of the Amsterdam Arena to the Johan Cruijff Arena - using the Dutch spelling of the Ajax and Barcelona star who died last year. The agreement, announced Tuesday, is expected to be finalised within six months. A club statement read: "The board of the Amsterdam Arena (Stadion Amsterdam), the board of AFC Ajax and the mayor have agreed in a letter of intent to change the name of the Amsterdam ArenA to the Johan Cruyff Arena. "With the name change, the three parties want the best footballer Amsterdam has had to get a worthy tribute. "Jordi Cruyff (Johan's son) has stated that he was pleased and honoured by the letter of intent to change the name on behalf of the family. "Details are spelled out in a contract that within six months will be submitted to the city council, the management and supervisory boards of Stadion Amsterdam and Ajax. "The parties are convinced that this will do justice to the memory of Johan Cruyff and express the hope that the Johan Cruyff Arena is an inspiration for players from all over the world." * Incredibly touching this piece of news, especially once you have read his thoughts on Ajax as a football club. He would have broken every bone in his body for them and it's nice to see that they are repaying all of his time, effort, commitment and love by re-branding the Amsterdam ArenA to incorporate his name. The legacy lives on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Panna King 755 Posted May 8, 2017 Riot police used water cannon to disperse Feyenoord fans after their team lost to Rotterdam rivals Excelsior to take the Dutch league title race to the final day of the season. Leaders Feyenoord started four points ahead of nearest challengers Ajax. But Feyenoord lost 3-0, while Ajax crushed Go Ahead Eagles 4-0. Thousands of Feyenoord fans had gathered in the city centre hoping to celebrate their club's first Dutch league title since 1999. Ajax are one point behind Feyenoord going into the final day next Sunday. Feyenoord will win their 14th Dutch league crown if they beat mid-table Heracles at home. But Ajax can finish top if they win away to Willem II and the leaders slip up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DarthBlaug 42 Posted May 12, 2017 I love this gesture. And even more so that they revealed it on the day that would have been his birthday, too! I hope they can win the Europa League in further honour of the great man himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grizzly21 1,427 Posted May 14, 2017 Happy for Feyenoord. Important club in the Netherlands without many titles wins in forever. Remind me of Cruz Azul and Alianza Lima. I'm more happy for Renato Tapia though. Sure he didn't get much playing time this season but that's 2 Peruvians winning titles in one weekend. Not something you see every week.
