KUT HOLLAND KUT!



This country is insane. There's more Orange on the streets now than there is on prinsjes dag en Konninginnendag together... multiplied even... and all because of the stupid EC soccer.

See, I used to be into soccer when I was younger. I used to play it when I was a kid... and later on when I was in my "oh, England is so cool" - phase I was watching every England match there was. But I liked it for the game. Somehow back then I could still get excited about 85 minutes of boring walking around with the ball and maybe 5 minutes of real action. Now I just think it's really boring and I really don't care who wins or how they play etc... that is until recently. Because now, I do care. Holland has to LOSE! They have to go out! Bye bye Oranje! Because this country is driving me insane at the moment. Everything is being painted Orange, everyone wears orange, all the TV shows and ads are about orange soccer, all de radio shows as well. In all the stores there's Orange/Soccer sales and guess what... the Dutch team really really sucks!

So here I sit with my orange hat (of course I got that for free in a book store, makes sense, eh?) and chow on my dutch food and hope that Holland loses so they won't go any further up in the European Championship and everything will go back to normal...

I hope...
