To say that the last four weeks of World Cup action have been exciting is an understatement! Holland's six game winning streak has been an unbelievable ride and has landed them in tonight's final. Chris and I are still amazed by the fact that we get to experience the atmosphere and excitement of seeing the Dutch team in the World Cup final while we're living here. The Orange haven't made it to the final since 1978 and should they win tonight, it will be the first time in the national football team's history.

No doubt, the biggest Dutch party of all time will take place throughout The Netherlands if the Orange can pull off one last win! Amsterdam is already getting prepared for a huge influx of fans into the city today and on Tuesday plans are already in place for a massive canal parade for the players should the team win.
In anticipation of tonight's game, here are a few photos from our Orange World Cup experience so far:
Chris watching the quarter final game against Brazil at Cafe Quinto.
The aftermath at Museumplein when Holland won the quarter final against Brazil.
Street party and lots of honking after the quarter final win!
Fans starting to congregate outside cafes to watch the semi final game against Uruguay.
Jannie and Chris ecstatic with the semi final win. Holland's in the World Cup final!
So which team is going to come out of tonight's big game as the big winner? Paul, the German octopus claims it will be Spain while Mani, the parakeet from Singapore, picked The Netherlands. Suddenly we have a strong liking to tropical birds!
Which team do you think will win the 2010 World Cup final?!?
