so close.

so close. so, so, so, so very close. just a difference in goal difference of one.

excelsior beat az 3-2. we beat willem ll 2-0. but psv beat vitesse 5-1.

until the 77th minute, we were going to be champions. then cocu scored to make it 5-1. if he hadn't score, we would ahve the same goal difference, and we would have won the title, i believe, by virtue of scoring more goals. even if you want to look at head to head, we would ahve won it as well.

so close. i was looking at the live update all the way. hoping that vitesse would score, or we would score. but the ball apparently won't go in.

what really happened in rotterdam, tilburg and eindhoven? what did van gaal, koeman and ten cate do? what were their words to the players? what were the thoughts of the players and the fans?

i won't know.

i jsut know there is no "almost".

now we have to win the playoffs to get to the champions' league, the very same funny backdoor system which we used to reach the champs league last season. now, we can only hope it doesnt work against us.
