Dutch Pantser Unit Spotted
Good thing it's summer:
Football's governing body has explained why up to 1,000 Dutch fans watched a World Cup tie wearing no trousers.Around 1,000 fans arrived for the Ivory Coast tie in their traditional bright orange trousers - but bearing the logo and name of a Dutch brewery.
To protect the rights of the official beer they were denied entry, so the male fans promptly removed the trousers and watched the game in underpants.
(h/t to Lamplighter)
And that official beer?
Budweiser.

Oh, for the last time, people, Budweiser is NOT BEER!

Very true, Emily.
I can't help but wonder who had to clean the seats in the stadium after the match...

The seats are cleaner, but wiser.

At first read, I thought the title was "Dutch Panzer Unit Spotted". LOL!

I don't mind if the Dutch fans go trouserless, as long as some of the more comely Italian fans go topless. I demand equality!

There must be an EU Regulation somewhere that covers that, 'Fly.

Thanks for the hat tip, sent an e-mail but it got bounced back.
