Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:18 GMT

Johan Cruyff, Marco van Basten, Clarence Seedorf, and Dennis Bergkamp, are just a few of the world football greats who took their first steps toward greatness at the famed academy set up at AFC Ajax. The Dutch giants have been responsible for finding some of the best footballers of all time in the past and, with their help, they have won the Eredivisie league title a record 36 times.  Throw in 20 KNVB Cups and 4 European Cups, and Ajax can be considered to be one of the top football clubs in world football. All of this success is a far cry from the Ajax of the 2023/24 season, however, as the club is currently enduring the worst period in their rich history.A Season To ForgetAs it stands, Ajax have collected just 18 points from their first 13 games in this campaign, leaving them just 4 points clear of the relegation zone and a huge 24 points behind runaway leaders, PSV Eindhoven.

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:14:18 GMT

Cats are rescued from trees all of the time. Dogs - not as much.Luna, a 70-pound German shepherd, found herself stranded up a pine tree in Lotus, California, earlier this week.Her owner, Brian Spies, told a local television station that he became concerned when his nine-month-old pup didn’t return home after playing outside Sunday morning. He and a friend spent hours searching for Luna with no luck. "We basically looked for her all day, driving around the mountain and calling for her," Spies told KCRA-TV.
