Quote:Comparison might not be fully correct, perhaps illustration is a better word to use. It just so happens that the Super Bowl is the biggest sporting event in America and therefor the closest equal to the kind of fervor the World Cup generates. No matter which two teams make the finals, I can practically guarantee those countries will effectively shut down on gameday.

 

And I don't follow the domestic league beyond a casual interest but I prefer Ajax over the others. Interestingly my dad is also an Ajax fan, my sister is a diehard PSV fan and she's married to a Feyenoord fan though he doesn't take soccer very seriously outside of national games. 

Nice.. always fun to have a little family rivalry... i liked that mid christian eriksen that ajax had a few years back but he went to tottenham who i really dont like lol... ajax seems to always have a club full of up and coming youth who go on to be solid at big clubs... makes me wonder why they dont keep a few of em and make a push for the champions cup.
