Down to the wire in the Eredivisie (NED)
Holy crap! I've been watching the dramas of the Dutch league unfold in front of my eyes and I can't believe what I'm seeing! Now I don't have the privilege of watching it on TV or Internet TV for that matter, so I've been getting the updates through FootieFox on my web browser. Anyway, I'm going to quickly try and sum up whats going on.
Pos. Team Pld W D L GF GA Pts
1 AZ 33 21 9 3 81 28 72
2 Ajax 33 22 6 5 82 35 72
3 PSV 33 22 6 5 70 24 72
I knew that the title race was really close and while i was sitting here browsing the net, FootieFox started going nuts so i did the maths and it turns out that 1 goal could decide who takes home the Championship. PSV squandered a massive lead on the ladder and really should have wrapped things up weeks ago, so credit to Ajax and AZ for closing the gap. Anyway, before tonight's matches, AZ were on +53 goal diff. Ajax on +47 and PSV on +46. Personally i want PSV to win it. First cause they have a few Aussies playing there and two cause Ajax beat Panathinaikos in the semi finals of the '96 UCL and i can't forgive them for it! So PSV have to win and they have to score something like 7 goals to make up the difference, or hope that AZ and Ajax concede a couple.
Currently AZ are 2-2 against Excelsior so if it stays like this, they can't win. Ajax are up 2-0 against Willem II so their goal diff. is +49 and will be on 75pts. Here's where it gets interesting. PSV are up 5-1 against Vitesse so their goal diff is +50 and will be on 75pts. If it stays like this for at least the next 5min, then PSV will take out the title... WOW!! What a way to win the league!
