Ok, we will call it disappointment. The difference between your post and Turkey’s was his praising both teams, not claiming one had no luck and one had all the luck and was “fortuitous” both in terms of the self inflicted poor defending from Ajax and the goals they scored!! Also the comment that the “fortuitous moments being consistently experienced by the English footie clubs” is also disingenuous in terms of what they have achieved. As was pointed out at the time Eriksen as a past Ajax player was rightly humble and slightly muted in his celebrations during his interviews. Ajax have been a joy to watch and it would have been good to see them reach the final, but Spurs, a team that has spent no money for two transfer windows have been just as exciting to watch this season in the CL. Lets not forget they too are novices at this level of the CL.

You are right, we follow football and we experience both ups and downs, certainly more downs for most of us, and we contribute to forums such as this to be able to express our opinions. On this occasion I am very happy to see the four finalists come from England, I have always supported the English teams in Europe, obviously this is a disappointment for you, so the ups and downs are clearly visible on this thread!!
