Ook Erasmus laat zijn clubvoorkeur blijken. <\/span><\/p>

This coming Sunday Rotterdam will be in the spotlight when Excelsior is due to play in the usually quiet Kralingen against\u00a0big brother\u00a0Feyenoord, which upon victory will assure their first national championship title in eighteen years. As is to be expected, the\u00a0Stadium and Woudestein campus surroundings<\/a>\u00a0will \u2013 just as the city centre \u2013 be inundated with supporters from the Rotterdam South club.<\/p>\n

Together with current and former EUR students, EM is anticipating the national celebrations. Not everyone on campus is as enthused about Sunday, but one thing is a given: Feyenoord will prevail. Barring a solitary lost Excelsior fan, the students are convinced that Feyenoord will hold the trophy aloft on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can still recall Feyenoord becoming the champions in the 1993\/1994 season. As a young girl at the time, I had a crush on left-winger Rob Witsche. This Sunday Feyenoord will be the victors, just as then. If I catch the vibe, I\u2019ll go and watch the match in town. A few colleagues have asked time off to go to the victory celebrations on Monday. I might do this too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLast year\u2019s cup victory was the first real Feyenoord prize I experienced. I was on the Coolsingel at the time, and jumped into the fountain. Which was totally cool! Just like last year, I want to have a party like that on the Stadhuisplein, but it will prove a tricky match on artificial turf. A few years ago AZ blew the championship at Woudestein. But I still think Feyenoord will win.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately I\u2019ve got a hockey match on Sunday, so I\u2019ll have to follow the match on my phone. I haven\u2019t given any thought yet to the outcome, but I\u2019m certain Feyenoord will be the champions on Sunday. I\u2019ll head into town after the match with some mates. Enjoying a beer \u2013 or a few \u2013 and then to the victory celebrations on Monday. I\u2019ll be jumping into the fountain \u2013 of course. Bring it on!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019ll be a draw: 2-2. I\u2019m a loyal Excelsior fan, so I\u2019ll be disappointed if Feyenoord wins. If they do, I won\u2019t join in the celebrations. I won\u2019t watch the match, but I might listen to it on the radio.\u201d<\/p>\n
