[CBFF] NBR: ciao Netherlands

[Victor Waldron]

Spain has just gone down to the French. Good thing they are a former favorite.

Very entertaining games today. Even though Ghana was outmatched they
put forth a good effort.

BTW, my work collegues have designated the Dutch team as the "Chicago
Cubs" of World Cup soccer........always breaking your heart because
they can't win the big one.
