FN2010 Part 7: Amsterdam, The Netherlands

Holland’s shock win over Brazil meant a short train north to Amsterdam, rather than a much longer flight to Spain, for the semi-final stage of the 2010 World Cup.

Amsterdam was a fantastic venue to watch Holland’s sensational win over Uruguay.

The streets were coloured orange, traditional football music blared from cafes and bars all over the city and the locals created an amazing atmosphere before, during and after the game.

Holland’s result was matched by Spain against Germany and means that both nations will be fighting to win their first World Cup.

It should be a superb final and I think it will be great to see a new champion crowned.
