AJAX 0 - milan (milan, who the fuck is milan?) 1


The fourth meeting of the year. 1-1, 2-3, 0-1, and now 0-1 again. What does it take for Ajax to be able to win against this club? milan created one chance and scored. The great Johan Cruijff said that milan lacks a beautiful/entertaining game during his commentary for NOS. Ancelotti, the milan trainer, replied by saying that Cruijff should go to the movies if he wants to see something entertaining. "Milan is there only to win," said Ancelotti. Another reason why I hate this team more and more.

Something interesting though. Look at the starting line-up and the average age.
AJAX: Lobont, 25; de Jong, 18; Yakubu, 21; Heitinga, 20; Escude, 24; Maxwell, 22; Galasek, 30; Obodai, 21; Sneijder, 19; Ibrahimovic, 22; Mitea, 18. Average age: 21.8.
milan: Dida, 30; Cafu, 33; Laursen, 26; Maldini, 35; Costacurta, 37; Pirlo, 24; Gattuso, 25; Seedorf, 27; Kaka, 21; Inzaghi, 30; Shevchenko, 21. Average age: 28.6.

Amazing that with all these youth and inexperience (3 of the Ajax players made their Champions League debut) they managed to keep milan at bay and lost again due to bad luck. If they can keep this team, there is hope.


Kill Bill: Volume 1



Amazing 4th movie from Quentin Tarantino. Full of violence and funny as hell. The jokes are really well done. Can't wait to see vol 2.

The movie itself is a mix of old movies. Martial arts movies (Bruce Lee, Sonny Chiba etc), Western Spaghetti, Kung Fu (David Carradine), Manga cartoons, etc etc etc. All mixed up with some gender bender and a whole lot other stuff. An interesting take from metaphilm can be found here. The story (if you can call it a story) is revenge. The Bride (Uma Thurman) seeks revenge and is out to kill Bill (David Carradine) and his Deadly Viper Assasination Squad (Daryl Hannah, Vivica A. Fox, Lucy Liu, Michael Madsen). Simple.
