After six matches, PEC Zwolle is still leading the Eredivisie. PEC played in the Jupiler league, the second division in the Netherlands, since 2004, but in 2012 they reached the Eredivisie. After a good first season, with a eleventh place out of eighteen, the critics expected Zwolle to be less good and even a degradation to the Jupiler League wouldn't be unexpected. However, PEC renewed the team with succes. They play attractive football, inspired by the current FC Barcelona. I hope, just like many Dutch football fans, PEC can keep playing well, although one of their best players, Youness Mokhtar, was transferred to FC Twente at the last day of the transfer period.
Caught my eye:
Robin van Persie scored twice in the 0-2 victory from Oranje against Andorra. He is now officially the top goal scorer of the Dutch national team, together with Patrick Kluivert. They both scored 40 goals for their (and my) country, but being only 30 years old, RvP will break Kluiverts record soon.
