For my non-Dutch friends

You might or might not be aware that the WorldCup (football that is) will start next week. As usual, the Dutch are contenders, but will probably get kicked out by the Germans or the Brazilians somewhere in the quarter finals (as usually happens).

In order to properly support the Dutch (or 'Oranje' as we say), I'm herewith providing you with some necessary background information.

First, the players => names you should memorize are Arjen Robben, Robin van Persie & Wesley Sneijder.

Then some recent highlights (with a bit of music):




More highlights (nine minutes long, better quality):




The Dutch have a long tradition of dressing up and acting crazy during the WorldCup and they manage to compose some decent songs whilst not drinking beer:




They also manage to compose loads and loads of terrible songs:




The 12th player at every match will be the Dutch supporters in the stadium:



=> gives you goosebumps doesn't it?

Pretty much the whole of Holland will be colored orange during the WorldCup:

And last but not least, a none too brilliant slideshow with a brilliant soundtrack => some kind of dance anthem I think (must be getting old):




So, have fun & remember: Hup Holland Hup!
