Unbelievable! The Dutch team made it to the World Cup finals!!! The last time that happened was 32 years ago  Opponent will be Spain or Germany. Personally I hope it will be Germany. This Sunday the finals will be played. I am to perform at a large club on a touristic island here in the Netherlands. There will be a lot of Germans and Dutch folks at that gig...I sure am looking forward to the game and the gig!!!

I just want to see Germany as an oponant in the finals. That would be an awsome game. Check this comercial and this comercial and you'll know why we want Germany in the finals  As far as I'm concerned either Germany or Spain are allowed one more victory in this World Cup: the one either of them needs to make it to the finals

Congrats to the Dutch team for making the finals and, even more, congrats to you for scoring a fun gig. However, this old hillbilly doesn't quite understand the first commercial. Of course, I think it's fantastic that the walls are happy but..... :>) Maybe you can explain it to me.
Later,
Jim
I'd be completely happy if I had just one more guitar.

To apreciate this one you need to know Derek Ogilvie who claims he can read babies minds and claims to be able to communicate with ghosts. He is the one parodied by the "room-whisperer".
Orange is the national color of the Netherlands, and therefor the color our team (known as "Oranje") wears.
The one color "Die Mannshaft" (the German team) doesn't want to see in their dressing room is....orange!

I will be watching and rooting for the “Oranje”! Of course the sound will be off because I can not stand those dam Vuvuzelas  They have ruined this World Cup, at least for me 
OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Lots of horn beeping and oranje flags and shirts paraded downtown yesterday at 1600 when the Dutch won. The Dutch club was full, lineup out the door. They have a band I have sat in on, the Tomatoe Soup Band. They want be back to play tuba, maybe in September. I also play, um um (looks furtively around) accordion, in said band once in a while. Liechtensteiner Polka ya ya anyone? Good LUCK on Sunday.

Would have LOVED a Holland vs. Germany finals! Well, now you have to beat Spain. They looked good against Germany (we have to work for a third place finish now). Since Germany is "out", I'll be cheering on the Dutch neighbors!!!  Cheers, Mike

Ugly/boring game, but Spain was clearly better. Most deserving team won IMHO.

In a fantastic and tantalizing game, dominated by our wonderful Dutch team, our national heroes won a glorious silver medal in the World Cup finals. The fame of Oranje and our victorious nation will be envied true-out the world. The treacherous and vicious Spanish team also competed for the title.  All kidding aside. The better team won. Spain is the deserved World Champion. I had to make some extra effort to make the gig a success, though. Most people had to reset before they could enjoy the party.....
