Things are getting more orange every day in the Netherlands. Look at this “typical World Cup front yard”. The Dutch seem to be pretty confident about their chances at winning the world cup finals next sunday.

A Country Turned Orange

The country has turned orange.

Millions of fans have been celebrating all night.

The day after, orange is still the leading color on the streets.

In the offices, casual friday seems to have turned into orange wednesday.

Hardly a single word in today’s newspapers about the difficult discussions that should lead to a new cabinet.

Any non-orange conversation is rare today.

Morning meetings have been canceled because of lack of participants.

Productivity seems to have reached an all time low.

What will The Netherlands look like if sundays’s finals will be won?
