Spanish with Dutch lion

Spanish with Dutch lion, originally uploaded by CharlesFred.

The Spanish came and conquered Holland in the 16th century.

Now they come here on holiday and pose with Dutch lions on the Rokin. Certainly a lot more Spanish parading their colours in Amsterdam than, say French or Italians.

A 1-0 win today keeps them unbeaten, looking forward to a quater final against Brazil, should both tems get that far. One to watch!
