Goedzo Marja! Wat leuk dat je zo meeleeft. Ik denk niet dat je er in NZ iets van doorkrijgt op de TV, maar ik kan je zeggen dat het een nationaal feestje is geweest gisteravond. Ik schoot echt in de lach toen ik dit allemaal las en hoorde. Geweldig.

Wonderful that Netherlands won this game; I saw a little bit of this when I was in my hotel in Italy.
ReplyDeleteMy hometown Belgium doesn't have a good football team anymore; where is the time that the game Belgium-Netherlands was always a great game. Mostly the Netherlands won but it was always great to see.
My favourite player of the Netherlands of the past was Johan Cruyff.
I didn't know you were interested in football.
