Yeah agree. Even if Monaco play averagely, they should still be far too good for Maaskants boys.

Can never be all too sure with Heerenveen after their exploits against Varteks a couple of years ago while with the new Russian money in football, Krylya Sovetov might hide a couple of talents.

 

Actually, when you talk about Krylya, drop the m-word. We've got no money. It must be quite easy for AZ, but.... we'll see :devil:

 

Heerenveen 5 - Banik Ostrava 0

Looks like the later Dutch sides play, the better they do :frustrat:

Lets hope that the u17s will continue the trait later tonight.

 

Good performance by them and on the right time too. They did well but not stopping an try to defend after the 3-0. They had the flow at that moment, so the luck too (with the 4th goal) and so they also boosted their confidence. Two quality goals by KJ it were btw. Hopefully they and AZ can get some more points in the group stages and later stages to get closer to the Portugese in the UEFA rankings. Who like us saw a big team (Sporting) crash out in the first round.

 

Tomorrow, Dinamo Bucharest-Heerenveen

 

Yes, Heerenveen will face Dinamo with 3 strikers and is curious to see how Dinamo will react to that, as Romanian teams are used to playing against 2 strikers most of the time (they say).

Klaas Jan should def. score one

 

NOT! Still 0-0 was a good result, but the game overall was crap. Shitty football from both sides to be honest.

 

Boring game but a good result for Heerenveen I guess!

 

He should (have) I didnt say he would :embarass: I blame his shortened hair.

Heerenveen disappointed big time, no flow no nothing. Out of the 10 mins I saw that is

Heerenveen defended for 90 mins. Very uncharacteristic of Dutch football.

 

Heerenveen - CSKA

Match of the week for me and it probably will be the only game I'll watch. Really looking forward to this to see how the Friezen will do against them. The weather up north shouldn't frighten off the Russians but after their loss to Marseille, they'll have all to play for and hopefully we'll get to see Vagner Love and Daniel Carvalho in full flow.

 

Eurosport will broadcast LIVE that game tonight.

 

Another 0-0 last night. A good result against the cup holder, but it remains tricky to get that at least that third spot in the group. KJ again had trouble of getting a chance at all and when the chances came for Heerenveen in the end, they fell to the wrong person (Bruggink). He could have left CSKA pointless again if he still showed some of the talent he had in the past. Only he looks past his best now. Not a starter any more for Heerenveen, despite being a big name signing last season. On the other hand Bosvelt showed that he still had it in him, 'buffeling' himself to the MOTM flowers.

 

Huge win today and IMO 3 breathtaking goals that are definately worth a download.

First good ol' Paultje Bosvelt puts it home from over 40 metres, then Huntelaar does a 'omhaal' and finally Samaras makes a fool out of the Groningen defender and goalie with a nice slalom.

 

Heerenveen 4-0 Groningen - Video

Great goals by Bosvelt, Huntelaar, and Samaras.

Klaas-Jan Huntelaar continues to impress each time. Another 2 goals in this one with a fantastic scissor-kick for his second goal.

He now has 11 goals in 13 games this season.

 

After tonight's surprise results in the group of Heerenveen there's just one place left and it's possible that UEFA-cup holder CSKA will finish last. Although after tonights result Heerenveen is last now. They will have to win next week aqainst Sofia and hope that Dinamo wont win against and at Marseille. To be pretty sure a two goal would be best then.

 

They still need to score that first goal in the group. With the current score in France a 1-0 is all they need. KJ needs to be sharper then and they also have to stay cautious at the back, cause Levski looks a decent team.

 

At least that first goal for Heerenveen fell, they needed a goal against though from Levski to score one themselfs. So still anothe goal needed.

 

They scored the 2-1. Hanssen scored it at a moment when I felt it wouldnt fall anymore.

 

they've done it :happy:

so 4 it is :thumbsup: 2 in the CL and 2 in the UEFA cup. Portugal our main rival for the place for where you'll be allowed to have 3 CL spots will only have Benfica in Europe now (kut Koeman :finger: fake spy).

 

There's still injurytime played in Marseille, so not sure just yet.

 

2-1 in Marseille but wth Bucharest apparantly scoring at the same moment when (or perhaps just after ) the ref blew his whistle after a Barthez blunder

Doesn't matter, Heerenveen are through :thumbsup:

 

Congrats to the Friezen

 

What a goal by Samaras

 

It is now!!! So current champs CSKA out already in this poule thnx to Hanssen.
