Andy,

that is an old Dutch football chant, and to 'leave someone in his undershirt' means basicly to let them down, high and dry on their own. The Lion Rampant is in the Dutch Heraldic Coat of Arms, and is usually the national mascot. A bit like the Three Lions.



Jim, we need a lion with an orange afro wig as a smiley...

Thanks Henk.

I'll be supporting the Orange Machine this evening. Let's hope for another class game and that France get hammered.

Of course you understand this asks for photographical proof. Tonight I'm going to watch Orange play against les Bleus in the local bar and I will take my camera with me. WIll make some pictures of how this is experienced in a small village like where I live. And yes I will have someboyd else make a picture of myself too.

What I liked actually was the news of Domenech who really loved the Dutch Supporters. He said that was what France was completely lacking. I believe the numbers are something like 20.000 French supporters against 50.000 of the Orange army in Bern.

I'm sorry too, Italy... Unfortunately, not as sorry as I would have liked to be...

Nothing orange in the wardrobe, only the wifes Sarong - which i have wrapped round my shoulders. I'll take a photo if you want.

Halftime score looks good.
