I don't like Netherlands anymore
No heart. That's the only way to describe the Dutch team from the Holland/Denmark game. I used to like them, but nothing makes me switch allegiances faster than coming out looking like you don't care about the game. And it was palpable how little Holland cared about this game. That being said, the rest of the experience was great. The Dutch fans were amazing, dressed up in all kinds of gear. The stadium is just... beautiful. Pictures below.
The only bad thing was that we waited about 1 hour to get into a FIFA fan shop, found some great jackets, and then waited another 30 minutes in line to pay, only to find that the signals connecting to verify credit cards were too weak for us to buy them! Ashley got attached to her jacket, and she was pretty disappointed that it didn't work out. Maybe next time.
By the way, it's funny how the pictures of us in the stadium totally looks photoshopped. Also, check out the vomitory access points that are all around the stadium (thankfully!).
