Netherlands (2) Slovakia (1)

Guests Georgina and Roee (left, from Melbourne) celebrate with Jenny and Edwin (right, from the Netherlands) and Llewellyn (guesthouse co-owner, 2nd from right) after the teams victory last night against Slovakia. This takes Netherlands through to the quarter-final where they meet Brasil (3) who also notched up a win against Chile (0) in the later game.

Durban Orange again

Durban is awash with colour again today as the OranjeFans return to give Netherlands their support in the round 16 clash with Slovakia. It also looks like Durban locals are supporting Netherlands and orange is the popular colour of the day. In the photos are (3rd from top) our Guests Darren, Janelle, Gareth, and Jenny, and Ishmar, whilst in the other photos I managed to catch some of the fans on their way to the Stadium. You can spot me in the top and 2nd photo with the Netherlands flag I painted on my cheek.

Netherlands vs Slovakia Mon 28 Jun

Netherlands and Slovakia have qualified for the Round of 16 game in Durban on Monday 28th June. This is wonderful news as it means we will have the big orange football team fans back in Durban. And I am getting out my bright orange gear to join the fans on the beachfront. Welcome back to Jenny (left) from the United States and now living in the Netherlands with her Dutch husband Edwin (right) who have been travelling the country in support of the Netherlands team and will be joining us at the Guesthouse for some more football mania.

Well done also to Slovakia who have played some excellent games to come through the first round with some top teams, such as world champs Italy and England, being sent home earlier than anyone expected.
