After the quirky sport of korfball, football is thought to be the national sport in Holland. Their league is ranked as one of the top ten and the national team even made the World Cup final in the summer. The three behemoths of Dutch football for a long while have been Ajax, PSV, and to an ever-so-slightly lesser extent Feyenoord. Although this doesn’t explain the freak turn of events yesterday afternoon.
PSV finished 10(TEN)-0 winners over rivals Feyenoord. In the lead up to the game away coach Mario Been was hoping for a contract extension. I’d be surprised if his P45 wasn’t sitting on the desk this morning after that result. Think of it akin to Chelsea beating Liverpool by the same scoreline or even the Oakland Raiders putting up 50+ points on anyone. Oh, that happened as well. What a bloody weekend!
