Football in Orange

Its the world-cup season and the entire country of Netherlands is living and breathing the Football by beginning the season with a revenge of 5-1 against Spain, the team it had lost the 2010 title to. As a result, the city of Amsterdam started getting drowned in a sea of orange everywhere.

Shops and houses, restaurants and streets were all decorated

Scooters and flowers weren’t spared either.

People were supporting by sporting orange everywhere, some in the big open areas setup with massive screens

some others showed either in their own small ways

or by staring at scores in their phones away from the crowd
