Brazil's Alves in seventh heaven after goal spree</p> THE HAGUE (AFP) - Brazilian international striker Afonso Alves went on a goal spree Sunday, scoring seven of SC Heerenveen's nine goals during their 9-0 win over Dutch league rivals Herakles Almelo. The record number of goals scored during a single match in the Dutch league is held by former Feyenoord striker Henk Schouten who netted nine in April 1956 against De Volewijckers. Alves had already a hat-trick after eighteen minutes of play - netting in the 10th, 17th and 18th minutes. He then went on the rampage adding four more in the space of nine minutes (68, 70, 74 and 77). He was the top Dutch scorer last season with 34 goals. But this was only his second match this season amid rumours that a transfer was imminent after clashing with team bosses. Alves, 26, started his career at Atletico Mineiro in Brazil before joining Swedish side Malmo in 2004, arriving at Heerenveen the following year.</p>
They probably will after this.</p> Even if you're playing a bad team, it's not easy to score 7 goals yourself.</p>

<font face="Arial" size="2">Scoucer is away and i have to set up other peoples accounts in a couple of months</font></p> <font face="Arial" size="2">If i was a manager i would have snapped him up after 20 goals</font></p>
Yeh he would do well for A team like Bolton or Everton. Goal Getter is what they need right now.</p> lol P.s. Heerenveen's Badge is probably the gayest ever.</p>
Jeez. I heard rumors of several clubs after him last year. Why is this only his 2nd game?</p> -Petey</p>
Liverpool Link</p> Alves' performances for Heerenveen have seen him linked with a number of clubs across Europe, with Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez reportedly considering a move for him in the January transfer window.</p> Brazil coach Dunga believes Alves has a bright future ahead of him, but has warned the striker not to become over-confident.</p> "He was picked on the basis of what he has done over the years and on our analysis of him," said Dunga.</p> "He was never a doubt in our minds, but the fact that he scored seven goals doesn't mean he is in heaven now.</p> "He has to carry on with his work. I want him to score seven goals for us."</p> </p>
<font face="Arial" color="#000000" size="2">dobt he would come as liverpool have too many strikers at the moment</font></p>
Well it could happen if they sell Crouch. (I'm sure he's not happy as he's not getting playing time at all)</p>
