Ajacieden in Oranje
Stekelenburg has lost his spot, but Van der Vaart, Sneijder and Heitinga have been called up by Marco van Basten for Holland's 09 February friendly in Birmingham, against England.

Re: Ajacieden in Oranje
For those that live in the Asia Pacific region, ESPN (pacific rim) are showing the game live from 6:30 am Melbourne Time Thursday morning...and to relate this back to Ajax players (or in this case former ajax players). Davids has been overlooked:Blind3 schreef:Speaking of England v.

Ko, maybe I'm just a teaser but your topic title is in dutch, maybe the dutchies know what "Oranje" [Orange=thr nickname of our national team] is, but is "Ajacieden" a known word in America?
Welcome by the way to all AjaxUSA members, nice to have you aboard. :xyxthumbs:

Day off work, sleep in till 8.30. Watch the game. (provided of course the decoder doesn't screw up like it did for the Ajax-Bayern game.)Chugger schreef:Awesome, wonder if I can be bothered to get up at 6, drive round to my parents' house and watch it...DanK schreef:For those that live in the Asia Pacific region, ESPN (pacific rim) are showing the game live from 6:30 am Melbourne Time Thursday morning...

As for Ajacieden, we don't know the word, but when we start following Ajax and speaking to Dutches, we learn what it means. :headbang:
Btw, for the ones expecting Makaay to make use of his chance, I have heard he does not have one. Word is Kuijt is starting. If this is true, that is crazy!

i think kuijt and makaay both start. Makaay as deepest stiker, and kuijt as a supporting man. Kuijt is very good in picking up and passing the ball towards the deepest striker.
Its like playin as Ajax did in the time that Marco was a player of Ajax. Makaay in the Marco role, Kuijs as a new Johnny Bosman. Not a bad idea.
Further more the absence of Davids gives VDV a new change. He grew a lot as a midfielder last few months. and while his name doesn't appear on the scoresheets as often as it did he is really back! A very hard working midfielder. Don't say vicious, he isn't mean, he just wants to win.

Young England - Young Holland: 1-2
Young Oranje (the Holland U-21 team coached by Foppe de Haan) have won their friendly away game against Young England: 1-2. The name of Fulham's Collins John may sound English, but the kid is Dutch. He gave Holland the lead in the first half at Derby County's home ground. Vitesse's Eldridge Rojer made it 0-2. After the break England pulled a goal back (header by Leroy Lita), but that was it. Holland's win was well deserved.
As for the Ajacieden: Daniël de Ridder played the full 90 and Young Ajax's Hedwiges Maduro was brought on as a substitute to play the final 15 minutes. Former Ajacied Boy Waterman (now playing for Heerenveen) was in goal.

Saw the game on Sky last night, and I have to say I was toataly impressed by Daniel De Ridder. He had an outstanding game and was much the best man on the field of either team. The SKY commentators were also deeply impressed, as I suspect were the legions of EPL scouts in the stands. The best performance I've ever seen him give. He appears to have learned how to cross the ball accurately - which is good.
Also excellent was Nicky Hofs, he bossed midfield for much of the game, however towards the end his temprament started to get the better of him, and he lost the plot somewhat, allowing England back into the game. He was yellow carded, but he really should have been sent off for an assault on Richardson. If Hofs can learn to control his temper he could be a valuable asset for Ajax in midfield at some date in the future.
Just fyi, Boy Waterman was a total catastrophy in goal. I can't remember the last time I saw a goally who looked that terrified.
He has two responses to crosses...
1. To try and punch (or flap, I should say) at them, and completely miss.
Or
2. To try and catch them, and drop the ball at the opponents feat.
If the England strikers had been half awake, he would have gifted them 3 or 4 goals.
An embarrasment to the nation.

Can't say I'm surprised. I was never too impressed with him in the Ajax youth. Then he moved to Heerenveen and made his Eredivisie début in their home game against Ajax. He looked terrified indeed and seemed very insecure on high balls.The Purple Cow schreef:Just fyi, Boy Waterman was a total catastrophy in goal.

Didn't stop them from hammering us 4-1, btw. :X

Errr, no, it's not nice to hear. Because Ronald F. Koeman keeps refusing to give the guy a shot - and will continue to do so.
Ridders must play! Now is the moment.

I agree, if he's in form...God knows we need all the help we can get....but how do you fit the pieces of the puzzle together?
“If I wanted you to understand it, I would have explained it better.”
De Ridder can also play on the midfield or even as a left winger

The guy was utter crap! He was clearly trying to impress scouts with useless step-vers, nutmegs and keeping the ball at his feet for as long as he could every time he received a pass. He didn't once deliver a useful cross and didn't care about tactical organization or defending back.
But I guess to those without much soccer-knowledge it looked fairly impressive. :nooo:

This is not the way to discuss something - and you know it.

Nonetheless, De Ridder was a complete waste.
