Nederlands baseball

Not a contradiction in terms, as the NL nine have upset the heavily favoured DR team in the World baseball Classic: http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd ... Id=rss_mlb (Not sure where to post this, but I thought you might have a nationalistic point of pride in knowing this Bert :mrgreen: )

Hi fordprefect, baseball is not very populair in NL and hardly gets any mediacoverage. Therefor the majority of dutch don't give a s**t about the game or if the National team wins or looses. btw, you can include me in the majority of the dutch. Soccer, cycling, tennis, iceskating, volleyball are more 'dutch' kind sports. Basketball is growing in popularity, but no where near the popularity of above mentioned sports. friendly greetings...(another dutch guy) Gilbert.

Thanks for the extremely useful generalizations apropos the Dutch. Just"thought" someone might be interested. My mistake. :oops:

hihihi, no mistake has been made ford. so no need to :oops: . I am not generalizing the dutch...it's just me telling the way it is in NL. If you would read carefully, you would see I used the word 'majority' :wink: friendly greetings.......Gilbert.

The Dutch team lost today of Puerto Rico ( 1-3 ) :( . Some Dutch people love baseball, they aren't the best teams in Europe for nothing... :)
