For the last month, the country has been watching the World Cup. This year The Netherlands made it to the finals against Spain. Neither team had ever won a World Cup before, so it was a very big game. A group of us from the Shelter went to Museumplien to watch the match with about 100,000 people. There were so many people dressed in Orange all around us. We stayed for the opening and watched a few minutes of the first half, but then went back to the Shelter to finish; we knew if we went there we would actually get to see it. The Netherlands lost and I don't think I have ever seen an entire city so upset. I was hoping for parties in the streets, but it was just sad faces of people walking back to their homes. I have a video of their National Anthem before the game started. I took it from my camera, so the sound isn't as loud as it actually was there with 100,000 people, but I can't get it to load. I'm going to keep trying cause I would really like for you to see it. Here are some pictures instead.

We were off to the side cause there was no way we could get in the middle. This is also at the very front, there were 5 more screens to the right.
