Controversial drama in the Eredivisie concerning the distribution of European football tickets.
Standings:
1. Ajax 73 pts - clinched CL berth
2. Feyenoord 67 pts
3. PSV 66 pts
4. Heerenveen 64 pts
5. AZ 62 pts
6. FC Twente 60 pts
2nd place goes to the CL
3rd and 4th place go to the EL
5th place goes to the EL if PSV doesn't get a CL ticket
Next Sunday's key game:
Heerenveen - Feyenoord
Okay, so what's the controversial part?
If Feyenoord wins, Feyenoord finish 2nd and go to CL, Heerenveen 4th or 5th and go to EL
If Heerenveen wins, PSV or Feyenoord finish 2nd and go to CL (Feyenoord has a suprior goal difference vs Heerenveen), Heerenveen 3rd or 4th amd go to EL
If Heerenveen-Feyenoord ends up tied and PSV wins and AZ wins, PSV finishes 2nd and goes to CL, Feyenoord 3rd and EL, AZ 4th and EL, Heerenveen 5th and go into a 4-team playoff for the 4th EL ticket
This would mean that in the end, if Heerenveen-Feyenoord is tied going into the last minute and both PSV and AZ are leading their game respective games, Heerenveen will be better of allowing a game-losing goal than maintaining the tied score...
