Well, Holland is decked in Orange - much more so than on Queen's Day. We took a stroll into town last night and had a beer at Oranje, our "local" (pronounced O-raan-ye). The place was decked out in orange, and before we left to come home to watch the game at the house, we were given orange t-shirts to wear and had our cheeks painted with the Dutch colors. Again, we could hear the roar of excitement for each goal against France -- all four of them.
A great game, and a great win. The game was so good that Alex claims it was one of the best football games he has ever seen, and he's seen quite a few.
Go Holland!!!
Their next game is Tuesday night against Romania (and since they already qualify for the knockout stages it doesn't matter if they win this game or not). We'll continue to follow Euro2008 with enthusiasm.
By the way, we noticed that the Dutch not only hang out a flag (either an oranje flag or a red/white/blue national flag) - and sometimes they hang a rucksack (backpack) on the end of the pole. We thought indicates that the upcoming game is an 'away' game. Nope.
What is it?
A way to demonstrate that someone in that household has finished school (the really clever ones have artfully connected and arranged papers and books spilling out of them).
Let the summer begin!
