    Nova asks for a goal, but EPB demands a win.

    and at fault for the penalty. mosaic theory pointing in a bad direction
     
  8. 39'
    1-0 GOAL (Penalty) by Mark Diemers


    Lazaros Lamprou dribbles into the 16 and is being hooked by Erik Palmer-Brown. Foolish foul. Mark Diemers converts the penalty flawlessly: 1- 0

    1. 46'
      Erik Palmer-Brown wordt vervangen door Grad Damen
      De Amerikaan is niet fit genoeg om na de pauze terug te keren op het veld.
    46'
    Erik Palmer-Brown substituted by Grad Damen

    The American isnot fit enough to return on the pitch after the break.

    Breda loses this one and looks deeper into the eyes of the erste...

    Fortuna as good as their name.

    Don't be so pessimistic. Breda's not in form. You'll probably get one point at least...

    I'm only Dutch-adjacent, so there's no risk!
     
  15. Lucky day for EPB.
    Robin van Persie was injured in the AZ match and can't continue to show "team of the week"performance againsy Erik.
    On top of that the other striker we have, Jorgensen, is suspended.
    And the jackpot is that our best striker and Orange player Steven Berghuis is suspended too.

    Van Persie is still playing? How old is he?

    36 years young, though he's had grey hair since like the 2014 WC i think

  18. His stamina shows his age, but his superb ball handling and soccer intelligence are still present and often made the difference, like in that phenomenal 6-2 demolition of Ajax (suck that Freisland:D).
    When he joined us there were lingering injuries that kept him from showing his full potential in Turkey, but careful management of his body and physical healing made him injury free for the first time in years and he could enjoy playing again instead of a fight with his body with pain killers, so much he extended his career with another season. This season however is his last one. He takes a sabbatical year and then returns to coach at Feyenoord the attackers.

  21. Afaik he took a very large cut to finish his career at Feyenoord, but I guess it's a number I would be happy with seeing drop in in my bank account:)

    I have no words to describe how terribly bad this Breda team is. I wouldn't expect them to be back up any time soon.

    Please say Erik wasn't the problem.

    Not at all, he's out injured. But his team is crap. They're like a bunch of guys who just met for the first time, specially the defense.
