    Besiktas were probably the worst CL team this season. I know Haaland is a beast, but we put 8 past Besiktas. I think a lower tier Liga side could put up a better fight than Besiktas.

    Three of the regular starters didn't start the match and Tadic sat it out.

    The only player they were missing was Tadic due to injury. Care to elaborate?

    Defensive mistakes from our youngsters. But thats how you learn and grow.

    Ajax will go far IMO. They got another golden generation and a really good coach.

    Now let's hope we get Lille or something LOL

    When you play in an illegitimate garbage ass league like the Eredivisie, then you can afford to throw all your marbles in the CL. Don't forget, PSV got beat at home by a weak ass Benfica team. Says a lot about the quality of play in Holland.

    And about two years, we will receive the CL ticket of Portugal. Portugese people are just bad losers.

    Who knows. Ajax hasn’t played against sportings full strength team. Also we actually have a domestic league to worry about where we can’t just walk over.

    Anyways I’d rather see Ajax win this cup than any of the big players and their scores of Malaysian and Indian “fans”

    Agreed, I'm a fan of how Ajax plays and the similarities in the youth development.

    Ajax have had the same coach for many years and a philosophy. We are still building our philosophy. This game was to give the next generation a chance to grow.

    Definitely don't mind seeing Ajax knock out a PSG or City. At least the fans aren't plastic

    They are likely to do well. Let’s face it outside of the big 4 English sides and Bayern I believe they are amongst the faviorites to win.

    You're league is still shit and Portugal still owns you in every major international tournament we've ever played you.

    Get back in your cave, troll.

    This says more about you than about me. Just a bad loser… Just give respect to a club who just defeated you twice with better football players and better tactics/game. And talking about a totally different subject, which is national football, says more about your age and your personal characteristics.

    Look through the thread, there has been plenty of respect and praise given to this Ajax squad. You’re the one who came to the Portugal forum and called Portuguese people ‘bad losers’. FOH with this ‘says more about you and your personal characteristics’ holier than thou bullshit.

    I thought Nazinho debuted in the win against Dortmund? Been seeing a lot of him the last few weeks. Amorim must think highly of him.

    He is clearly trolling and I don't think I have seen him on our forum. Anyway congrats on finishing second and advancing. Of your team stays healthy they will pose difficulties for many v teams.

    Thanks. Will cheer for you guys especially if you come up against a plastic club like PSG

    Some other news - according to Fabrizio Romano, Amorim turned down RB Leipzig in the last few days.

    Chelsea cagou, tied 3-3 at Zenit and lost 1st place to Juventus.

    Honestly tho I would take this current Juve team the way they're playing over Chelsea.

    Look, let's be honest, this all started with:

    This was not their starting 11. Ajax would also easily win if Sporting played with their best squad.

    So your purpose was to come into the SCP forum and proclaim that Ajax would've easily beat SCP with SCP's best squad. This is a dickhead statement written by a dickhead who is trolling an SCP forum.

    I also added the Schuurs did start the game. So theoretically only 2 starters didn't play. What was Ajax's purpose of starting a nearly full starting 11? What point are they trying to prove?

    I also reiterated how illegitimate the Dutch league is. There is literally only one good team. That's it. ONE. Ajax can field their B team and smash on the lowly Eredivisie teams.

    Ajax spent 150+ million Euros in transfers the last three years. Sporting spent half of that in that timeframe. So comparing the two teams is absurd.

    Ajax is a legit team. I believe this is the only time that they've conceded 2 goals this season with the exception of the Supercup and the first SCP fixture. I expect them to make it beyond the quarterfinals.
