As everyone and especially in Holland will know, is that today the big final match is from the World Championship Soccer with Holland and Spain. Its extremely exciting that we even reached that final match, because we had some tough opponents (Brazil, Urugay). With that final match, the crazyness in Holland with the supporters exploded even more...
I guess alot of you know about our supporters: Dressed in orange, crazy costumes and a lot of noise and trouble (we have a lot of soccerviolence :(). You can spot them anywhere in the audience. The colour orange comes from the founder of our country: Willem van Oranje-Nassau. (Oranje=orange) Thats also why our players will be in orange tonight.
There are also a lot of special orange clothes made for the supporters like the Bavariadress. This sexy dress is a lot more stylish then all the other orange things although when you wear it, you may get arrested (as seen on the news). There are also other many orange shirts, like the lion one (The lion is the national animal of Holland).
The colour orange is currently everywhere in our little country and not only in the clothes. Every company does something with the World Cups and all the things are orange or red, white and blue (our flag colours). Famous are the wuppies and the beesies from the AH (a large supermarketconcern). You get one when you spent 15 euro's and you can't imagine how many things you can do with them.
I'm wearing this today. Not spectular or crazy but I'm wearing orange alright! (and I don't like the colour orange at all!). Tried to spice the orange a bit up with our national flag. Next to me are my friend Aria en my little sister Iris. I'll be watching the match with a bunch of people from thaleia (theatercamp). So let's hope they win!!!!
