That is the most prominent chant for the local soccer team (of course we thought it had, you know, words in it, but these are soccer fans we're talking about). Rob went in for season tickets with some friends and we took advantage of a rainy Sunday afternoon to catch the most recent match. The home team won handily, 2-0, and the team is having a pretty good year so far- the team always seems to do 'pretty good.' They're not the Yankees or the Red Sox, but more like the Cardinals- an old team with a great history and every once in a while they'll take the championship from the better clubs in the country. Just look at all the banners:
Rob's still learning the ins and outs of Ajax fandom, but most of the fun is just going to the game. We 'enjoyed' some lovely stadium food, including a noble, but failed Dutch attempt at a hamburger, and were thrilled to find the belgian waffle stand as we filed out toward the train station after the game.
The nice thing about a soccer match is that it's 90 minutes of play with about a 10 minute halftime, so we can get there and back in just over two hours (as opposed to a baseball or football game which approach four hours). Of course, soccer being soccer, that doesn't always mean it's an exciting two hours. Erika said she had a good time, but judge this picture for yourself:

Um we are totally coming for a game. I love that stuff. Just waiting for an official invite and the Duff clan (including Papa Duff) will roll in the ultimate fan mobile (the minivan)
