naranja es el color

No feet this time. Just a few ever-so-slightly orange touches before the match last weekend. Yup. Football is definitely da name of da game this week too.
Orange, orange, the whole country is orange.
I just happened to buy an orange chair the day before (coincidence?) And... Have you seen that ciggie butt? Orange end plus the flag of the Netherlands. WTF? On Saturday evening there was not a centimetre free on the park where we went to watch the match. (In all fairness it was the combo glorious footie victory + extremely hot weather + Faithless playing at the park that evening.)
Orangeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. How orange can you go. Well... very.
I will, of course, be supporting "my other" team on Wednesday night too.
Bloody 'ell. Hard work this week, ei.

  7. Yes, these are busy times. I will support both teams (you know which ones, right?) by NOT watching any of the craziness. What can I say, support can be done in silence and absence too ;-)
    Enjoy and hup hup for lively, summery colors!

  12. Great "oranje" madness...as I live in Aachen, directly at the dutch border, I always favoured a Netherlands-Germany-Final! This would be a huge party in our region however it ends!
    But there's Spain yet to come and the octopus-oracle said they would win the match...let's see... ;o))

  16. I totally don't get the world cup craze. It was a huge thing in Lisbon, with people so busy drinking beer that I'm not sure how much soccer they followed, up north here in Braga I can report LIVE ON NINJA (just came back to the B&B) that the whole event seemed to be more low key.
