It's not soccer, it's football.

I hope it's not going to be another disappointment for the Dutch.

The largest sport in the world is football. Nancy's all dressed up in protective gear and wearing tights are playing American football! Running around with an inflated pigskin! That's more like handball

I heard there is some betting going on for these matches.
The advert I heard was, pick the 16 teams to advance, then the 8 from that round, then the next four, the final 2 and the eventual winner.
Get them ALL right, you will a million bucks.
If no winner, the closest gets a vacation. Sounds like pretty good odds to me.

You bring your little tulip planting, wood shoe wearing futballers over here and let them play our "Nancy's" and you'll see the largest something in the world, massacres come to mind

We'd have no problem kicking the shite out of the dutch at 'real' football. Those cloggers would be too stoned to play.

I thought long and hard about opening this thread, shuddering at the thought that I might find a large pic of an Orange POs.

My curiosity finally got the better of me (after all, I can resist anything except temptaion ). I breathed a great sigh of relief when all I saw was this big ugly orange building.

If that's the kind of thing that makes you lowlanders happy, more power to you. Don't you have anything better to do than paint your buildings orange and watch grown boys kicking a ball around?

I can well imagine the excitement in your part of the world, Frans. I've set my alarm for an early wake up tomorrow morning to watch the Germans kick some Costa Rican ass!!
