Huntelaar Double Helps Ajax Amsterdam Beat Austria Vienna 3-0

As expected the difference in quality between Ajax Amsterdam and Austria Vienna was just too big. The Austrian underdog tried to resist but failed because of the productivity of Klaas-Jan Huntelaar.

Ajax did not get into trouble at all. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored the first goal in the 35th minute after Austria-keeper Szabolcs Safar blocked an effort by Hedwiges Maduro. Edgar Manucharyan made it 2-0 from a corner and Klaas-Jan Huntelaar made it 3-0 after a free kick from Kenneth Perez. Jaap Stam and Gabri picked up a yellow card

Ajax Amsterdam Has One Of The Best Seasons So Far Ever With Coach Henk ten Cate

Ajax Amsterdam has only started better one time in the last ten years in the Dutch league. With coach Henk ten Cate Ajax has won nine of the first ten games. Ajax only lost against Roda JC.

Only during the 1997/98 season did Ajax start better. With then coach Morten Olsen Ajax managed to grab 30 points from 10 games; Ajax actually won the first eleven matches during that season. In the last ten seasons Ajax was in first place after ten games; this ended up in winning three championship.

Only PSV Eindhoven did better than the current Ajax formation in the last ten years. During the 1999/2000 season PSV grabbed 28 points from ten games with coach Erik Gerets

Ajax Beats Feyenoord 4-0, Huntelaar Scores 2 Goals

What should have been a real match ended up in a demolition match. Ajax Amsterdam has beaten Feyenoord Rotterdam 4-0. Feyenoord Rotterdam is lucky that it wasn't 10-0 because Ajax really missed some goal chances that should have been converted. Feyenoord got 2 red cards; one for van Hooijdonk and the other one for Pardo. Ajax is still number one in the Dutch league with 21 points out of 8 games followed by PSV with 19 points and AZ Alkmaar with 17 points. Feyenoord is in 9th place with 11 points. Koeman has to be worried with that a standing like that for Feyenoord

Klaas Jan Huntelaar Hoping For Official Dutch Team Start

Klaas Jan Huntelaar aka 'The Hunter' is hoping that his official debut for the Dutch National Team starts against Luxembourg. Of course he has played for the under-21 team and he has also played that friendly game against Ireland where he scored 2 goals. But a friendly is just a friendly and this is the real deal. I hope he plays and I hope he scores a couple of goals. That should not be too difficult against a country like Luxembourg but you never know


From the generation that was born in 1983-1984 John Heitinga, Rafael van der Vaart and Wesley Sneijder have already played for the Dutch National Team; Jan Klaas Huntelaar will be the next player

This was the last match for the great Ajax player Dennis Bergkamp. Huntelaar scored for Ajax and Kanu and Henry scored for Arsenal

Dennis Bergkamp did not score in his last game which is not too bad if you look at all the things that he has accomplished in his soccer/football career. It is sad to see him leave the game and he will be missed. Bergkamp started playing at Ajax then played for Inter and finally he played for Arsenal
