We're running this photo this week because next week at this time it can be too late and everyone in Holland gets ride of their orange clothes for the next few years. But yes, Holland is still in the European Soccer championships and Russia is the next opponent in the quarter finals on Saturday. Zhe Germans already made it to the semi finals so to avoid shit talk from Christoph Huber and Ralf Maier, we need to make it to the next round too. A final between Holland and Germany would be the ultimate. We'll see what happens. Team Paul's Boutique has got Holland's back.-We have added the possibility to leave comments to the articles. We're hoping for constructive comments rather than useless shit talk so if things go right, we'll leave it up. If not, we take it down.
