The beautiful game was tainted a bit today, I gathered from the audio commentary and highlights, by some shoddy defending, but that was overshadowed by 3 second-half goals: 2 from Adebayor and 1 from Bendtner, as Arsenal defeated Ajax 3-2 in Amsterdam.
Eboue put in a really nice cross for the opener, Adebayor set up the second for Bendtner, and Denilson did really well to set up the winner.

2 deflections:
Have you read the short story "Ajax is all about attack" by Jim Shepard? Highly recommended. It is in his collection "Love and Hydrogen." I also highly recommend his newer collection "Like You'd Understand, Anyway." One of the better US short story writers working today.
I haven't, but I'm curious now, especially about that Ajax short story. Ajax won Europe 3 seasons on the trot, allegedly playing attacking football.
There was some Arsene Wenger quote, I wish I could find a link, about how his style was modeled after Ajax of the 70s.
