Ajax vs NEC

Hi it's Tait,
last night was so cool, we drove to Amsterdam Arena and parked about 300 meters away from the Arena. Darcie, Mum and Frazer went to have dinner in Amsterdam and Dad and I went and collected the tickets for the game. When we got tickets they gave us the last minute package, we ended up getting first row seats and we were right next to the play. In the first half there were some close shots and the Ajax goalkeeper saved a penalty by NEC. In the second half Ajax scored but it was called offside even though it hit a defender and goalie and then was knocked in by Hunterlaar. There were a couple more really close chances and NEC were unlucky a couple of times with long shots. I liked that game more than any games in Australia because everyone were chanting and singing the whole time. After the game Dad and I were walking to the train station when we saw a whole heap of people chanting something and we went to see what was happening when we walked straight between some hooligans throwing beer bottles at police with bats and shields and some police were on horses. It was pretty scary because they could have had a huge fight at any moment and we were between the police and the hooligans. After we got through the middle of the hooligans we walked to the train station and got a scroll and some really nice juice, we finished that and then waited for Darcie, Mum and Frazer to arrive then we all walked back to the car and drove home.
