CCM Boys conquering the world

[PEC]

From what I understand is that they have only 4 CBs. Two are currently out injured which means Trent should start. The next two games are against Ajax and FC Etrecht so a massive test for him. I think he will do very well.,

That's right, al lot of injuries on the other side of the world. Last Saturday we lost two of our CB's. We do have two left, next to Sainsbury, but one of them is 18 and hasn't played all season. On top of that it was announced yesterday that our DM (22 year-old, South-African Kamohelo Mokotjo) will need surgery and is out for 10 weeks, which makes it even more likely that Sainsbury will play. And all this with a heavy schedule in prospect. Thursday away at Utrecht (they played against Ajax yesterday which resulted in a 1-1 draw) and on Sunday at home against Ajax.

Hi PEC, welcome to our forum & thanks for the information.
Players like Tesco are coveted by the Mariner`s fans. He`s a good lad,a fine player & he`ll be a bonus to your team.
We`ll enjoy following his career with you although I don`t think he`ll look as good in your shirts as the girls in your pic....

PEC we thank you for all your commentary on dutch football .
we also hope you keep coming back.

Hahaha, thanks! It's not all me though, some credit must go to google translate.
There is a good reason people know little about the Dutch Eredivisie. It is known by pessimists as the Mickey Mouse league since we can't match the leagues around us, and in most cases probably never will. For instance the EPL, the Primera Division, the Bundesliga, Serie A, the French Ligue 1 and even the Portuguese and the Russians are doing better at the moment. On the other hand, optimists say, that makes us an ideal stopover for future stars on their way to the top. Romario, Ronaldo (the Brazilian one), Ibrahimovic they all played in the Eredivisie.
Next to that we seem to be pretty good at scouting and developing young athletes. In my opinion I think we could be compared to Australia. Both countries have like 20 mill inhabitants but nonetheless excell in sports.
Our coach (Ron Jans), who just signed a new contract, has a teaching background (I've always preferred coaches with an educational background). He's a great guy, which is not of the greatest importance, but I guess if Trent seems shy he is a coach that will try to make him feel right at home.

Question: If you would compare Trent Sainsbury to a more well-known player, who would that be?

Welkom op het CCM internet Forum PEC, houd ons nog even op de hoogte hoe Tesco zig in de Eredivisie aanpast

I think you are selling the Eredivisie a little short, its a very good league.

Agreed. Ajax is still very highly rated, as far as I'm concerned, and much respect to others like PSV and Utrecht (for having some Aussies). People in the know in football know to keep an eye on the Eredivisie. Netherlands is a factory of talented of players and always has been, nobody with half a brain would ever underestimate the Dutch.
Plus even look at the Dutch players who have played in the A-League recently. Zwaansijk is probably the best defender in A-League's history, and Jaliens and Engelaar have both shown their quality, some other Dutch players not so much though.

I will try to give an update every once in a while.

Hahaha, no that's German. We say 'doelpunt' or just goal and our commentators are normally very reserved, except for this goal.

This is legendary stuff in Holland! I know people that actually have this as their alarm on their alarm clock. Still gives me goosebumps. Couldn't find one with better quality unfortunately, but that's the nineties for ya.
Perhaps some of you can hear that the commentator (Jack van Gelder) just before the pass by Frank De Boer says that he has a feeling that the Netherlands are gonna go through to the semi-final. "Nederland... Nederland gaat in de halve finale komen. Ik heb opeens zo'n gevoel dat we in de halve finale gaan komen." What a moment to say something like that! And of course repeating his name over and over after the goal is scored, like he is having an orgasm. But I guess that why this sport is so great.
