I have to say that the Portugal / Netherlands game was one of the worst shows of sportsmanship I have seen in ages, behaving like that and risking the next round is just stupid (especially for the winning team)
Could you believe all of those cards? I watched it, then watched it again with my husband when he got home last night. It was unbelievable. It's really hard for a ref to gain control once he loses it.Originally Posted by icklemiss21

That's a good question. I've always connected orange with Holland because of William of Orange (Oranje?), but have no idea why, e.g., the Aussies wear yellow and green. I know Germany has to wear white, because all their matches are "home games". They have a new design for their jerseys every year, usually in black, red, & gold. Maybe it's because so many flags are similar (like Italy's and Hungary's) or are the same colors (just think red, white and blue, or red and white).Originally Posted by jeanor
I have a question about uniform colors. Why do some of the teams wear colors that aren't in their flag. Like Italy wears blue and the Netherlands wears Orange, yet other teams wear the exact colors of their flags. Who picks the colors?
