Right! Since there are just a few crazy Dutchmen around and even fewer Portuguese (and these are even crazier), I thought we could bash both teams around a little bit.
The Dutch do love this anyway, at least as far as Dick Advocaat is concerned, so let us in turn bash the Dutch.
The Portuguese are crazy anyway... and their coach is definitely the perfect bashing victim.
Besides I think the Czech will grab their second title after 1976 (Ok it was Czechoslovakia then, but who cares!), so I don't really care who'll win tonight, but if Holland gets kicked, we'll have about 20,000,000 caravans obstipating Germany's autobahns by tomorrow morning, so "HUP" (what a stupid warcry really!!)

Andreas, you cannot possibly have 20 million hup hup hup caravans on your autobahns, there are already 10 million on the french autoroutes, double that amount in transit through Belgium, and another million already in Austria and Italy.
When you figure out the amount of potatoes they are carrying (because it is cheaper at home you know..), let us just hope there is no major accident.
HUP I believe is a warcry derived from the local expression of astonishment when reading a bill.

LOL Andreas,
Bored at work? (I am) A day off?
You have a lot of nerves after the shameful exit of your national team. We rather do the bashing the other way around. But yes bashing Dick advocaat is OK after he swapped van Robben for Bosvelt against the Czechs. He really is a "dick"!
so I don't really care who'll win tonight, but if Holland gets kicked, we'll have about 20,000,000 caravans obstipating Germany's autobahns by tomorrow morning, so "HUP"
Do 16,000,000 Dutch own 20,000,000 caravans? Well, I hope they all crash on the Autobahn so I will never see them again on the Dutch roads.
What about your crazy fellow countrymen who invades our beaches and start digging holes for their whole holiday. I live close to the beach and I will break my neck someday. What the heck is the point of digging holes? Preparing a new war? War trauma? Are they searching for ammunition the German army left here?
And why are they always driving so slow on our roads. You guys know we like to drive like maniacs. Well, at least you guys behave like guests, I have to give that to you.
May the Dutch team win,
Sander

Iakobos, do you have any idea..just one hint of an idea, how many caravans there are in Holland??? Billions!!! So prepared to find another 15 million or so in Greece before the summer is over!!
...which means trillions of genetically manipulated potatoes...
Actually Hup means in German "honk the horn", which is what people usually do when they have a myopic, under-motorized Dutch caravaneer in front of them...I just never understood why they chose this to be their warcry!

Yes I am bored, just paperwork today, so I'm looking forward to tonight's festivities. Niow back to those holes in the beach: You're totally wrong on this subject (I'm having a deja vu..didn't we discuss this at length a few weeks ago?):
First of all, most of the whole were dug during WW2..you guys just never cleaned up your beaches during the last 60 years!
Now the new ones are aimed at all you beach football players...to keep you from playing real football one day

Is it true that "Netherlands" is derived from the old Flemish word for "caravan park"?
Anyway, it is pleasing to see that after their penalty shootout win, the Dutch have now reached the dizzy heights of being just as good at penalties as England are. Well done.

One of the very worst things about writing things down on forums like this is that you have to use smilies to get your point across. The whole purpose of irony is that you shouldn't have to, and amongst ourselves we tend not to need to. It's when we engage with foreigners we need to do so; we get burnt once or twice with people taking us seriously and then have to signpost every joke. Hopeless.
(Just in case)
Back to the footie: Here's a little task for you, Andreas: Compile the teams with the all time best (that should be easy) and worst penalty shootout records.

I'll spend some time in London this summer and, being a rollercoaster fan, I might be tempted to go there...

Well well, where can I find the thread about crazy Germans digging holes. Unfortunately I missed it. Is it still active because I like to participate in that.
Oh yes, lets clean up our beaches and ban the Germans from it. But I'm afraid they will start to dig holes in our roads then. Or worse they will go somewhere else and don't fill our pockets anymore.
According to your statistics: If 16,000,000 Dutch own 20,000,000 caravans then the average is 1,25 caravan per head, meaning 1 out of 4 people owns 2 caravans while I myself don't own and never will own a f*ck*ng caravan.
And where do you think the majority of the Dutch are going to live with their 1,25 caravan when 2 /3 of our country is below sea level, while more than 50% actually lives in that part of the country, is flooded.
You guys probably love this pic.
I just heard on the radio the Germans are supporting the Dutch team. How about that? Here goes your Dutch bashing.
And Banco, it seems like the Dutch penalty complex went to the English team. I'm sorry to say it but I hope it never returns.
All the best,
Sander

I really don't know of a famous rollercoaster in Brighton. Certainly I don't remember anyone talking about it, which may not be the same thing. Are you confusing Brighton with Blackpool? There's a huge one on the seafront up there - it was (maybe still is) the tallest in the world.
But if you want to go on those kind of rides, your best bet would be to head down to Thorpe Park, which is in Surrey. It's quite good there.

Great picture Sander!
As I understand it, Holland are now level with England in the penalty shootout incompetency stakes, with both teams having had 5 shootouts and 4 cock-ups, um, sorry I mean defeats.
I think Italy must be up there. They're just as inept as we are.

Yes you got it, the Pepsi Max in Blackpool 215 feet high, that's the one. V max is to found in the USA. No it's not the tallest anymore, there's one in Ohio now..about 400feet tall (!!), accelerating in around 4 seconds to 200km/h, that would be 120 miles or so, going down at an angle of more than 80 degrees. It is completely freestanding...the way up must be sheer terror for those weak at their stomachs
Sander where did you hear that?? Must have been satirical and you didn't get the joke ..nobody in his right mind in Germany supports Holland
Where are you going to live? Hmm...maybe on house boats on the North Sea?
Actually I believe every Dutch does own at least 5 caravans, using one for himself and have the other 4 running around in Europe on remote control

He can suggest all he likes. For one thing, I wouldn't view it as insulting. Not that insecure, you see - unlike you, Andreas, clearly.
As for Kirkie (where is he by the way), we've always said that he should concentrate on flooding Holland. Start at the bottom and work your way up.
Finally, re the caravans; I must confess that on my many trips around Europe, I have seen a fair number of German caravanners too - usually in their lederhosen attached to an oompah band. I think you are also guilty of this crime against humanity.

Well, it is indeed true that British drivers, once removed from nice safe old Blighty, do tend to be something of a liability on continental roads. Mind you, your lot over here are even worse. Tootling along in the right hand lane of the motorway (with a petrified expression on their face) at about 65 miles an hour, wondering why everyone is getting irate.
I may be wrong about the oompah bands. It's just that when you see the Germans on holiday, the image automatically springs to mind. Especially when they get in a bar. (shudder)

Well Andreas, to be honest I couldn't believe it too. I don't even want German support. That would destroy the Netherlands vs Germany feelings. Wouldn't that be a pity?
Where are we going to live?
Regarding that most of the Dutch speak very well German (generally better than French, besides we hate the French more than you idiots) they will move to your back yard with their 5 caravans.
Actually I believe every Dutch does own at least 5 caravans, using one for himself and have the other 4 running around in Europe on remote control
You really had me with this one. LMAO behind my desk. My colleagues most have wondered why.
Since I don't like caravans I have all 5 off them running around the autobahns at the left lane at 80 km/h.
Banco, can you believe I was sitting upside down in my chair when the shoot out began believing we would be kicked out again by missing penalties. The Dutch commentator said: "Here we are again". I almost had a heart attack. We screamed so hard afterwards, the whole neighborhood most have heard us.
We btw drank little to much last Wednesday when Germany was kicked out the tournament so that a few of my friends decided to dial a few German random numbers shouting: DEUTSCHLAND! DEUTSCHLAND! ALLES IST FORBEI! ALLES IST FORBEI!
