We still are in the Costa del Sol. May 17 ..birthday of my Friend Rudolf from Germany...
(sitting left)acompanied by his lovely wife Lilo,standing most right. Camera on selftimer .

All the others are Dutch (I am sitting in the middle, being the victim of others who smash my hat)

For his birthday Rudolf invited all of us for a
lunch and bought us German (Deutschland) T shirts
and hats, wich we had to keep on during lunch ^_^

Now.. the Germans and the Dutch are ok neighbours
no problem at all, BUT dear friends..but ..when it comes to football; there is a drastic change in the air.

We Dutch can play every country, lose or win.. it is no problem! but we dont allow ourselves to lose from the Germans ! ^_^

With the Germans its the same: they are great.. fair players ..and can win - lose from any nation but not from ??? yes .. the Dutch ! ^_^
Hahahaha
Keep this in the back of your head when the World Championship Football (Soccer its called in the US) begins next week! (ofcourse you are for Holland to win.. right ?? hahahahaha )

Honest?? I think Brazil or the UK will win!

Football Folks ... ppfffff it will be hectic for many...

Thanks for popping in, and may the best team win!
Kind regards

John T

Excellent shot of the party, well done.

Cat in the Hat hats! I didn't know you were a sports fan, John! Football, huh? Is this Mondial 2006 coming up, or is that something else?

Great colors and great times, it seems.

Cheerio,
Gayle :)

Hi John,
You can wear the German colours my friend, but The Brazil will win. Although I have picked a dark horse Portugal in out office pool.

Hello gang!

Looks like you had a great time showing your colors! I wish you a pleasant World Cup. May the best team win , and the competition remain fair on the field and in the grandstands!

Personnally I like the underdogs team (^_^) in Olympic tournaments or in the World Cup. I loved to see Cameroun in the finals a few years ago!

Cheers!

hello john!
great groupe portrait, lovely colors.
excellent!
zoran

Haha! John, this photo is very funny! What a happy gang! You are the funniest with your hat all squashed up!

Nice colours, take care, Sis :)

John, you are such a talented photographer! Are you sure you are not a pro? I am amazed at your photos; it is a joy just to gaze at them. This one is no exception: I like the life in the photo of your group and the colour contrast. Impressive stuff!

Nice fun photo. Can see you are all enjoying yourselves. Impressive hats. South Africa feels the same about rugby and cricket. We hate to loose too Australia or NZ. Our soccer is so bad that every win is a "wow" no mattter against which team.

Hi John,

Well prepared self timer shot. Though I'm not a soccer fan, I will be following - hope the guys with the orange shirts win :)

Andre

Great team shot! I wonder why you are hiding behind the hat! You are feeling a little dizzy maybe my Dutch "mythos" (Legend).lol!! Colorful and haapy lot!
Vassilis

lovely striking group photo. stats say that every hosting nation has made it to the quarter finals, we might be the exception, failing to qualify for 2010

jaco

Hi John,

Great pov,dof,focus,frame,expressions,hats,jerseys,note and colors.Well Done.TFS
Chris

Hello John,

Did you pay someone to squash your hat and hide your face? A lot of happy, smiling faces, good colours and well framed. TFS,
David
Many thanks for your comment on Longford Views III

PS England no. I believe Australia play the Netherlands in a warm up game sometime over the weekend. Watch out for the Africans.

I think it is France... it is the team I got in the office draw!
And may the luckiest team win...
Good to see the families enjoying life like this!
