Tonight is Netherlands vs. Nicaragua at the Amsterdam Pirates stadium. I went last week and it was loads of fun.

Yes, although in this tourney the Netherlands Antilles had their own team. They won last night, damn can they hit homers. Lots of fun, sort of the atmosphere of a AA minor league game. Perfect antidote to the occasional homesickness.
