...the musings of an Aussie in the Netherlands

26 November 2006

My winning streak continues

I went to my third football game today, and what a perfect sunny autumn afternoon to watch a game. NEC Nijmegen played Feyenoord (from Rotterdam) and won 4-1 :-)))

Brett Holman (pictured left), a good Aussie boy from Bankstown NSW, scored the first goal and NEC was actually 4-0 up all the way into the last minute when they scored an own goal to go to 4-1


It was a VERY unexpected win and the crowd of 12,000 were in ecstasy. Amongst the crowd were, of course, the away supporters (all 300 of them!) crammed into the little walled off area at one end of the stadium, and the NEC supporters happily waved them goodbye as they all left again in their buses on their trip back to Rotterdam :-))

Maybe we should go more often and NEC would move on up the ladder a bit. We have a perfect record now of 3 out of 3.
