Gold or Orange?

28 May 2010 - Back in Holland it is impossible to escape the upcoming World Cup. Although the fans traditionally take a "wait & see" approach (Dutch fans had their hearts broken too many times and are traumatized by penalty shoot-outs), one could feel the excitement building up. There is a lot of orange in the streets, in the window shops and in peoples' hearts. The strange thing is that there is a common wish that it could happen for the boys in orange this year, but people do not really, really , really believe in it. It is like the nation is holding the team back. However, coach Van Marwijk is confident, the players say they go for gold, so what would happen if the fans think a bit more positively?
