Hey, that Spinola guy besieged my city back in 1625........
(Yeah, that pretty city with the beautiful church and the Military Academy!!!)
He said, after remembering the Peat Ship incident:
es el fin de una hazaña
tal, que a mi me ha de costar
la vida, o a de quedar
Bredá por el Rei de España
In those days, Breda was THE city of the Nassaus. Thanks to Spinola the Royal family
now turns to Delft for these things. Ah well, we now have a nice but smaal border city near Belgium.
Last, I am one of the few (outside the USA) who doesn't give a rodent's behind about soccer.
I think the Dutch have had too much luck, and will get a serious bum whooping (once again...)
and that'll be it, will hopefully be the end of these ridiculous scenes too:
