Doesn't match the shirts, and red white and blue is, like, totally generic.

Glad I didn't have to bump this myself.

That Russia game summed up why I'm totally resistant to the lure of Dutch football culture.

We were treated in the build-up to ITV hyping this Dutch team as the greatest since the year x; the passion and colour of the fans etc etc.

It took the commentator til mid-match to start to change the script and recognise that a) they were being totally outplayed and b) we weren't hearing a peep out of their passionate etc fans who must have outnumbered the noisy Russians about 10 to 1.

The point is the Oranje fans know little or nothing about football. That's why they are held in open contempt by the F-Side, the 410's or the Feijenoord Legioen. They are just there for the patriotic party, the football is secondary. I for one have been startled about how little discussion there has been about Euro 2008 on the Ajax Websites.

A friend of mine asked a group of 10 orange clad fans who won the Eredivisie this year. After a long pause, they eventually all agreeed it was Ajax.

That seems to fit the profile of most Swiss fans who went to Germany as well.

It got a bit agitated in Basel after the game but with the numbers of Dutch there (150K to 200K) it certainly was nowhere near as gruesome as when Rangers came to Manchester.

Brilliant piece of self-contradiction from Liddle here.

Even Rod Liddle thinks Rod Liddle is an idiot.

His comment about the Russians is quite funny...
