    Haven't missed a game

    I was living in Holland for the last world cup and most of the women I was friends with there were just as excited as anybody. I went to one of my favorite bars in Utrecht for the first Dutch game and the crowd seemed to be pretty much the same as always, about 50/50. The ony difference was that everybody was wearing orange from head to toe. For most of the world the World Cup is about feelings of national pride, gender has nothing to do with it
