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.

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.
