Posts have been scarce around here recently, hopefully I'll have time to do more writing in the next few weeks. I didn't get a chance to follow the UK friendlies last weekend, but the results looked respectful and Matt's write-ups on the Offside are encouraging (nice job defense!). I did find this low-res highlight video from the Cardiff match that's actually worth checking out. Things are getting cranked up to a new level this weekend with the start of the Amsterdam Tournament. Games with Arsenal on Friday and Inter on Saturday will certainly prove to be a stern test for this revamped Ajax team. This tournament's unusual points-scoring system rewards an attacking style of voetbal and will definitely shed more light on how improved the Ajax back line really is. Hopefully we'll at least do better than Feyenoord did in their Jubilee Tournament :) The game is available on myP2p ( http://www3.myp2p.eu/broadcast.php?matchid=16124&part=sports )
