Special Message: Hup Holland Hup

There was a Dutch woman in NZ. Everybody around her always cheerfully talked about rugby. She kept quiet. They tried to win her over. She kept quiet. Till she went on a scouting camp. She started talking ,but they told her to be quiet when the other leaders watched rugby on a TV. Great. Being deprived of soccer, rugby was all there was now. She hang down her head and sighted. She went on with life. Than her brother called.


The Dutch won in the first game in the EK with 3-0 from the world champion Italy The Dutch team is stronger than ever. Netherlands coach Marco van Basten said. "I cannot name one player who played poorly."
Yihaaa be afraid now. My silence is over. Kiwies I will cheerfully talk about SOCCER now.
I got the above picture form A touch of Dutch from an AMerican expat who is lucky to experience the soccer mania
Good luck boys on friday against France. We will cheer from down under en sing with all strenth
Hup Holland Hup!Laat de leeuw niet in zijn hempie staan
Hup Holland hupTrek het beestje geen pantoffels aan
Hup Holland hupLaat je uit het veld niet slaan
Want de leeuw op voetbalschoenen
Durft de hele wereld aan.

  2. Marja, I've added your blog to my favorites! The game last night was fantastic! I never watch sports, but last night I really got into the match. And the fireworks, air horns, car horns in the neighborhood: It was great to see and hear so many happy people :)

    Bedankt en een fijne dag verder!

  5. 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.

  15. Wonderful that Netherlands won this game; I saw a little bit of this when I was in my hotel in Italy.

    My 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.
