Netherlands

This shirt I bought before the World Cup of 2006, which was for the Netherlands a dramatic tournament. In the group stage we didn't play very well, but besides of that we went to the 1/8-finale. But when Portugal became the opponent our changes of coming far dissapear. The match between the Netherlands and Portugal became a famous one. Not because of the brilliant play, but of the many cards. 16 Yellow cards from which of them 4 went to a red card. It was a shame for the country.

The name at the back is Cocu. Cocu is a former player of Barcelona. And nowadays he is the assistant-coach of the Netherlands.
