Sunday is the World Cup final. My mom was born in the Netherlands. I do not know much about the Netherlands outside of the general stereotypes and World War II history. But if Holland were to prevail, I made a promise to myself that I would go over to Uithoorn as that's where my mom lived. My wife is adament that I go over at some point so I figure that a world cup victory would be as good a reason as any, family history aside.
I remember watching the Netherlands teams when I was younger but I remember most the era of Patrick Kluivert, Edgar Davids, Clarence Seedorf, and Edwin VanDerSar.
If the current team of Van Persie, Van Bronkhorst, Sneijder, and Robben can get it done, I see myself kicking around a soccer ball there on a local field and putting one in top corner. We'll see what happens.
Go Netherlands.
