That’s right, a different sponsor when we’re playing away!
‘Fonds gehandicaptensport’, a charitable organization for people with mental or physical handicaps.
Shorts:
It’s not very original, as it looks like the kit from 2012/13 and 2010/11, but it’s okay.
It makes us remember our fallen heroes. :‘(

Nothing special here.
The classic white shirt with a red line in the middle.
We’ve been rocking this design since 1911, the first year we played in the highest division.
These are the shorts:
The only difference with the kit from last year is the collar, as you can see here.
Some fans are dissapointed with the Ajax-logo, cause they want to see the return of the old emblem:
It changed in 1990 for commercial reasons.
A famous slogan used by these fans are:
‘Geef Ajax z'n gezicht terug’
‘Give Ajax it’s face back’
(‘We miss you’)

A classic dumb ‘Football sucks’ argument.
‘Not enough goals get scored!’
Remember that christmas story, where some girl wishes christmas was everyday?
Her wish comes true and she soon realizes that so many christmases actually kinda suck.
Do you get the reference?
What’s the point in even celebrating christmas (the same way you used to do) in that situation?
Now imagine you’re watching a football game in your local pub and your weird friend Timmy, who got dropped on the head as a baby, walks in and says: ‘duh this game would be so much better, if they scored at least 20 goals every game. Goals are the only thing supporters care about.’
He subsequently grabs a ladder, cause he got told, the drinks were on the house.
No, Timmy
Shut up, Timmy
With less goals, the chances of a tie gets bigger, yes.
But what’s more exciting?
A score of 8-2 in the 90th minute, or a score of 1-1?
What’s more worthy of a big celebration?
Scoring the 8-3 (or 9-2) or scoring the 1-2?
third argument, third star
I could go on, but Mark Twain has convinced me to stop.

To get a grip on reality is an idiom, which could mean something like thinking straight/clearly.
Psiklone clenches his fist to get a better grip, as if ‘reality’ is something you can really touch and hold tight (a tight hold is ofcourse a meaning of the word grip).
A clenched fist is often associated with anger.
When Psiklone thinks about what’s really going on in this world, it only makes him more mad, therefore he clenches his fists.

Paul Verhaegh
Verhaegh, what can I say about him…
No, really, what can I say about him?
He plays in the German division for FC Augsburg.
The first time I heard he existed was the first time he got selected.
With only 2 caps, this is one of the least experienced players in the national team.
I, for one, would’ve picked someone else, but I might be a little bias about this.
On the other hand, we don’t have another right back that plays in a better league than the Eredivisie (except for van der Wiel, but he’s injured.)
There’s no denying that Verhaegh doesn’t play against the toughest opponents in the league.

Daley Blind
Times have changed for this guy.
With Frank de Boer as Ajax' new coach Blind got his spot back in the first team, and in four consecutive years, he has won 4 league titles (2011 – 2014) and 1 super cup.
In the year 2013 Blind was chosen the Ajax player of the year and in 2014 he even won the golden boot.
He went from one of the worst Ajax-players to the best player of the whole Eredivisie.
His best position is probably CDM, but van Gaal sees Blind as the perfect leftback.
After this excellent game against Spain, and his two assists, he might be right.

Jeffrey heeft een angststoornis opgelopen na zijn ervaringen als soldaat.
Dit wordt een posttraumatische stressstoornis genoemd.
Eén van de symptomen van deze vreselijke psychische aandoening zijn flashbacks.
Vandaar dat Jeffrey bang is voor mijnen op straat, ondanks dat dit in Nederland natuurlijk nergens op slaat.
Ook heeft hij nachtmerries van de gebeurtenissen, ook een veel voorkomend symptoom.
Om meer over deze aandoening te weten te komen kun je kijken naar deze aflevering van het programma Je Zal Het Maar Hebben.
Hierin vertelt Wesley over zijn eigen ervaringen met PTSS.
