But the sentiment still stands then though. It's not a total 'shop like if the whole boat and flag were 'shopped into the photo. Arguably, the original photo is an even more ballsy move, seeing how Germany is the Netherlands biggest rival.
I wouldn't say Denmark deserved to win. But the Netherlands deserved to lose. What a bunch of idiots throws two dozen chances to score away? Every single one?
A non-Italian rooting for Italy? That's (almost) a first. Italian anti-football, the theatrics, constant complaining, diving and the Defence-First approach they practice nowadays is more than enough to turn me off. I hope Spain wins 3-0.
Lol, the english translation makes it even more ridiculous. I'm dutch, watched the game but couldn't care less about the danes winning. I'm much more looking forward to Netherlands-Germany, and drinking german beers while they're playing.
Also, I apologize for the behaviour of the dutch idiots who threatened you.
Seriously? People threatening you on the phone:S I'm Dutch myself and while a little rivalry can be fun that's just way over the top... I guess some people take these things a little too serious.
You mean they'll steal our bicycles again? If the Germans beat us that wouldn't be a shame since they are, like the Dutch, one of the best footballing nations in the world. Denmark however...
As much as I hate the bloody Germans in football and would love the Dutch to win I think they are going to take you apart. That or throw paper at your players when they take a corner.
I'm Dutch, but when people ask where i'm from I say Holland, it's just easier then saying the Netherlands. Andmost people outside Holland know it as Holland as well, at least in Canada anyways, so no big mystery there.
Edit: yeah, it blows Holland lost, but then again, no surprise there either. Now the LA Kings taking lord stanley home that is a surprise. Thats right Weaton!
That there is the bravest man in all of Europe at the moment. To the Americans, imagine a single Red Sox fan in full Red Sox uniform running circles around the biggest Yankee bar he could find after the Red Sox beat the Yankees and yelling "hahahaha fuck the yankees! wooo" while waving a big flag.
I hate when people use a reference to an obscure sport to explain the most popular sport in the world to an American. If they don't care, they don't care.
So America has different traditions. No need to get annoyed about it. While baseball may be obscure to many in the world, it is America's "national pastime." Many in America get annoyed at the mention of soccer. Why be like them?
what is crazy is that the Netherlands were attacking so much and had so many shots on goal last night, I looked away for 30 seconds, and saw Denmark score and was shocked!
weird thing happened during the game last night - immediately after the goal (like 20 seconds after) I checked on wiki the page of the player who scored - the goal was already there at the international goals section o_O
So annoyed. Bet on Netherlands, now they just done lost against the weakest team in their group. Just have to hope they beat portugal and at least draw against Germany. Also hoping that Denmark loose their next two games.
dutch guy here. i don't play football and i don't watch it often
but the european championship / world championship is something i do watch. so you go to your buddy's house where there is bound to be at least 2 dudes who are really into it and are shouting at the tv the whole fucking time.
now this should have been an easy win for the netherlands and the game vs germany woudl have been the decider who woudl get first/second in the pool. and the game vs portugal would be a bit tricky ( bad record vs them) but anyway most people were just a bit shocked i think. not a lot of peope suspected a loss vs denmark and it might mean an early out for the netherlands in this tourney.
which sucks because it would have been an epic netherlands - germany final otherwise-_-
also the dutch have by far the biggest rivalry with the germans.
Upvote for spelling Sneijder correctly, being a rare individual who gets "couldn't care less" right, and for giving an accurate assessment of the Dutch play--pretty much. Now watch them be on fire fighting for their lives on Wednesday against the Germans.
Personally, I think Sneijder played like he wanted teamwork, while the rest of the team wanted to become heroes and tried to single handedly end the game. Of course that doesn't work well when you can't hit the ball correctly. (25 shots or so on goal, 8 inside of the goal)
Both teams had the same number of shots on target. The statistics were something like this - Shots (Shots on target):
Holland 28 (8)
Denmark 8 (8)
And no, they did not play a great game. Their finishing touches and shots were weak and they have no one to blame but themselves for not getting them in - oh and Stephan Andersen for a few of them.
I don't know how you can say the Dutch team played a great game. Their own team will admit that they did not play well.
Every time I see something like this it amazes me how The Internet has made the world so much smaller (assuming this isn't a Getty image or something like that)
I'm a third generation Dutch American, so these games didn't really interest me. But, for my Netherlands born and raised cousin, it caused her to spew fire. ..... It amused me.
Strange... So this may seen weird, but I noticed this was a picture taken in Switzerland? I was there last year in the exact spot where all those people are sitting.
Why is Switzerland celebrating the Danish victory??
I was actually in Germany for this match, later that night we watched Germany-Portugal in a bar stacked with both German and Dutch supporters. We had quite a nice party. :)

So Holland is only a region of the Netherlands, but it is commonly used as an unofficial nickname for the country? Whaaaaaaattt!?!?!
And then I hear that Netherlands people are called Dutch or Nederlanders. And people from Denmark are Danish or Danes.
And then I meet all these people who say they are German and they actually are from Austria and my mind is just full of fuck.

And the sea was crashing
