Morocco

This shirt I got from my uncle. He went to Morocco a long time ago and he took this Morocco shirt with him. Most of the time the shirt of the better teams are easier to get. You get Ghana and South-Africa. Those teams are good and the shirts are easy to get. Morocco shirts are also easy to get, but surprisingly there team isn't very good. They didn't even qualify for the African cup for 2010. But now they did qualify and I think they are one of the outsiders. They can even win the tournament I think. I will follow them in January, when the African Cup begins.

France

The shirt from 'Les Bleus' I bought in Avignon. That's near by Carcassonne, a famous place in France. It has a huge and beautiful citadel.

I think the France team isn't very strong anymore. Zidane and Henry were very important for France, but now they haven't very good other players. The flop in the World Cup 2010 wasn't very good for the image.

Nepal

The Nepal shirt appeared on a local sort of Dutch Ebay called http://www.marktplaats.nl/. It's very rare that such a special shirt come up on this site. I also bought Zambia on this site. First I wasn't sure if this shirt was real, but then I looked at Nick's Nepal shirt. His red version is Nepal's home shirt. So I was for sure that my blue one is the away version.

The quality of the shirt is very bad, so I don't wear it. Also this South-East Asian country uses his flag as logo.

Albania

Thanks to Sascha, I get this Albania shirt. This shirt appeared on the German Ebay. Albania is for an European country really hard to get, so I was really happy with this shirt. The logo is very small. So it looks like it's a fake shirt, but after seen some match pictures, I realized that this was a real shirt.

I love to have shirt fromm more different cloth sponsor. Not only Adidas or Nike. So this Umbro is very nice to add by my England and Canada shirt. Mazuno (Phillipines), Locust (Bermuda) and Grand Sport (Kyrgyzstan) will follow soon!

Ghana

I got one of Olivers favourite shirts. This shirt was wearing at the World Cup in South-Africa. My uncle had some people there in South-Africa so he asked them to buy some shirts for me. As result, a few weaks later this beautfil Ghana and the blue Argentina arrived. I love to wear shirt, during some football training or something, but Ghana is one of those shirt I can't wear. It is just not my shirt. I don't know, maybe it's the colours of the shirt.

Ghana also played really well at the World Cup. They came to the quarter final and then lost from Uruguay after a penalty shootout.

Brazil

Maybe one of the most ugly shirts I've ever seen. It looks like the shirt is fake, but it isn't. It looks like they used the same fabric as they use now by fake shirts. The print on the shirt makes it also worser. However they have won the World Cup in 1994 in this shirt, so it's very special. I bought this shirt for 10 euros, so I was very happy with it. I didn't want any nike shirt from Brazil.

Suriname

This shirt is very special shirt. Suriname was a colony of the Netherlands, so we've got a close relationship with Suriname. Players like Kluivert, Seedorf and Elia got parents coming from Suriname. But they grew up in the Netherlands.

About the shirt. This shirt has a beautiful design. Because of the relation between the Netherlands and Suriname it was possible to get more shirts. So that made me possible to trade shirts with other collectors like Oliver, Joe and Enrique. That was the way I learned those other collectors so I'm very happy with those shirts. I'm remember that Joe contacted me on facebook with: "Hi, are you the Suriname guy?". Very funny.

Sweden

This shirt I bought on a trip to Sweden. It's a beautiful country where you can drive with your car for several hours and see no one else. I love it. Sweden is always a counrty who qualified them for the World en European Cup, but never come far. Also this year they will be in Poland and Ukraine. Thanks to Holland. We didn't lose a qualifaction match for 4 years, but then we lost from Sweden. It wasn't very good for the Dutch team. Every newspaper is always positive about the Netherlands, but after the trip to Sweden it changed. They doubt about the qualities of our team. I found it bullshit. We were second at the World cup and this year we will beat the rest of Europe. Like Germany (especially them :P, sorry Sascha), England, no Scotland (next time better Joe) and at last we will take revenge on Spain. I think it won't be any problem.

This Sweden shirt is very lovely with the blue and yellow colours.

Africa United

This shirt I bought after the World Cup 2010. The shirt colours are very special. There isn't any other shirt which has the same colours as these. But I would never wear it. It's not my favourite shirt, but it's fun to have this shirt.
