football rambles

  Today's scarf isn't from a game we went to, but back in 2016 when we saw Feyenoord beat Excelsior 3-0. For some reason these were the only scarves on sale and the cup final was played a couple of weeks later. Luckily, it worked out for Feyenoord and they won the final 2-1 at their own stadium (where the final is usually held, much to the disgust of Sparta when they reached the final). Mikiel Kramer put Feyenorrd in the lead before Ramon Leeuwin equalised. Unfortunately, the winner was an own goal converted by Utrecht's Filip Bednerek.

We then got on the metro to Maashaven where our hotel was. It wasn't the nicest of places, but it was OK and we could see the famous skyline and at least it was that close to De Kuip we could see it from our hotel window.

Last weekend we went to the Netherlands, mainly to see Feyenoord take on Excelsior in the Rotterdam Derby, but also to do some sightseeing and we also got to have a look around Sparta Rotterdam and PSV.
