Hup Holland!

I'm sure that our decorating our house and wearing crazy orange clothes helped the Dutch soccer team to their 1-0 victory over Serbia-Montenegro today (the decorations actually first went up for last week's Holland-Mexico friendly match, but it's always good to get ready for the World Cup). But maybe getting up at 6 AM PST to watch the game was the key obsessive fan contribution (yes, I am looking forward to sleeping on the train ride home). In any case, we've had a lovely weekend in Seattle; it's been great seeing lots of friends and watching lots of soccer and GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!

Update: Maybe this link works now?

Did you hear whether they will continue as Serbia and Montenegro or Serbia or Montenegro, or when that whole independency thing will settle itself out?

Go Orange! On Euronews, they had a 'No Comment' section where they showed a whole bunch of orange fans. Quite impressive, I must say...

This is indeed Serbia-Montenegro's last World Cup as a united team, and in fact they only had like 3 Montenegri (Montenegran?) players as it was. Later in the day we gave ourselves a little history lesson about Angola. Yay World Cup history/geography/politics lessons!
