The remains of a debacle

We had high hopes for the Netherlands at The European Football Championship last weeks. Streets turned orange, our national colour to support the team. In the first round the Dutch team was beaten three times and had to leave the tournement. This is already more than three weeks ago but in the centre of Amsterdam you still see the remains of the ornaments swinging in the wind. Just to remember the debacle?

10 opmerkingen:

  1. Win or lose it was still a fun time. In Toronto there were some amazing celebrations when Spain won.

  2. Ah, I am so sorrry! Losses are hard to accept sometime, but...there's always next time! That's a small consolation but sometimes the best react for a sport's disappointment.

  5. Ja, wonderlijk eigenlijk dat het er nog steeds hangt...de vlaggetjes zien er daarentegen wel zomers vrolijk uit!

  6. 't ziet er wel gezellig uit, maar je zou verwachten dat ze het nu wel weggehaald zouden hebben.

  7. Ik ben verbaast dat alle vlaggetjes hier nog hangen. Het toont hoe de Nederlanders hun land steunen.

    Groetjes,

  8. That is unusual for the Netherlands, they usually do well. My Aussie team also wear orange, They were originally mostly Dutch players but not any more.
