A Hero's Homecoming

Even though they lost the World Cup to Spain on Sunday, this evening the Netherlands Football (Soccer) team returned home to a hero's homecoming in Amsterdam. The team made their way down one of the canals in a boat parade as fans dressed in orange lined the banks.

Viva World Cup

All around Amsterdam are signs of World Cup fever. Bars are shrouded in orange flags and paraphanelia. Souvenir shops tout orange boas to go along with the orange wooden shoes and orange boxer shorts or sports bras that say "Go Holland!" Oversized soccer balls adorn restaurant windows. They're ready. --Suzanne
