Jules Posted April 27, 2013 Author Share Posted April 27, 2013 FORTUNA SITTARD IS IN THE PLAYOFFS! http://i.imgur.com/2B7XRGM.jpg It's going to be a near impossible task to actually promote to the Eredivisie, but surviving the first round is within reach and chances are they'll play a rival from our province either way when they make it past that round. That's would be so fucking amazing if that happened. For now, last night's win was the biggest game in over 10 years. They relegated back in 2002 and have not made a promotional playoff since. To finally be there after everything that has happened in that decade, is almost like a championship and two of our best players are probably leaving as free agents, but the amazing goaltender we've found and the three top scorers (about 25 goals and 20 assists between them) all have just signed extensions for next year. I hope our biggest talents will stay, that the left-back we've developed gets kept aboard by a sponsor willing to pay up big cash to keep him, but if he doesn't, fuck him, we've survived all those journeymen and quitters and we are still here. Either you want to play for us, or you can get lost. Anyway, proud day. Playoffs start in two weeks, one more regular season game left on Friday, which will determine who we play first and which bracket we'll be in.

Ba Ba Bluey Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 http://deadspin.com/timbers-play-make-a-wish-game-kid-with-cancer-scores-w-486460940 An estimated 3,000 fans turned out at Jeld-Wen Field today to watch the Portland Timbers take on the Green Machine, an eight-year-old's soccer club scheduled to take on the MLS side by the Make-A-Wish foundation. Yes, the cancer patient scored the winning goal. Atticus Lane-Dupre took the pitch against his favorite club, with MLS stars Darlington Nagbe, Jack Jewsbury, Will Johnson, and Mikael Silvestre getting the start against the grade schoolers. It was a competitive match, with the final goal being scored by Atticus himself to provide a 10-9 result. (He'd earn expected Man Of The Match honors, as well.) There's a better video in the article. This is just awesome. Good for young Atticus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Championship for Dutch First Division is determined today, including playoff ranking. Fortuna can get 6th, which means they play team that got 9th, which would be great. Also, the championship is down to two teams, of which one has a two point lead and likely need a tie to win it. Goal differential (first tie-breaker) is much better for team now in lead. Fortuna Sittard is playing MVV Maastricht... which is weird game for me. I'm from Maastricht, my whole family is, but no one is a soccer fan, except for my dad, but he's from the town Fortuna was originally from (they merged and moved with a team 10 miles away). So I was always a Fortuna fan, despite spending a lot of my time in the rivals town. Always lived in a burb in between Sittard and Maastricht, which are only 10 miles away from each other. In hockey analogy: it's as if Rangers and Islanders merged, I was from New Jersey, but cheered for that merger team years later. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 Where did AZ rank? How's Altidore doing? AZ is middle of the pack in the Eredivisie (league above First Division) and Altidore is first American to score 30 in a European season. He's been incredible this year and AZ is anticipating he will be bought this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ba Ba Bluey Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Good to hear. I like Altidore, he's a jersey guy. But can't stand his on field demeanor. He just looks lazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules Posted May 3, 2013 Author Share Posted May 3, 2013 He's been working hard this season. Very active with his back to the goal, laying off passes and finishing off a lot of chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jules Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 Fortuna Sittard fails to advance to second round of play-offs. A huge disappointment, as we miss out on back-to-back games against our top league archrival who we haven't played in 12 years. Oh well, still a great year.

The US should have just laid down and lost the game to big, bad, Germany... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ba Ba Bluey Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 That the US team and their fans shouldn't think they're good now because they beat a German B team (Same German B-team that pissed on the #10 ranked team in the world a week earlier).
