Huntelaar Hat-trick Helps Ajax Amsterdam Beat FC Twente Enschede

It started to look bad for Ajax because FC Twente Enschede took the lead in the 7th minute thanks to a goal scored by NKufo. Three goals by K.J. Huntelaar and one by R. Babel turned this into an Ajax win. The fact that AZ Alkmaar, Feyenoord Rotterdam and PSV Eindhoven all tied was good for Ajax also

Edgar Davids Back Playing For Ajax Amsterdam

It has been 10 years since Edgar Davids left for AC Milan but he has come back now. Ajax Amsterdam took him from Tottenham Hotspur and did not have to pay a transfer fee. Because Edgar Davids played 20 minutes in the UEFA cup for Tottenham Hotspur he can not play this year for Ajax in the same competition. Ajax and Davids signed a contract that will keep him in Amsterdam until the summer of 2008

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

Huntelaar Will Miss Qualification Games Against Bulgaria And Albania

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar won't play for at least two weeks because of an ankle injury. this means that he will miss the qualification games against Bulgaria en Albania. Ajax Amsterdam was hoping that the injury would not be too bad. Huntelaar won't play for at least two weeks and maybe even four. hopefully we will see him in action against FC Groningen on the 14th of October.

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
