De Nederlanders waren pestkoppen en bullebakken te verliezen altijd.
This means: The Dutch are bullies and bullies always lose.
They thought the could bully the Spanish into submission but pride always comes before the fall and the Dutch fell hard.
It is always interesting to see how the players in a football team reflect so well the temperament of their country.
The Dutch have to learn humility and humbleness and that they are not always right and that stomping on people does not make you the stronger.
The Spanish played with great courage and emotion and they deserved to win. I only feel sad for my poor hubbie who was very upset.
Maybe in another four years when the Dutch team learns that sometimes the only way to win is to play with the heart and not with the sole intention to destroy one's opponents.
It is better to conquer yourself than to win a thousand battles. Then the victory is yours. It cannot be taken from you, not by angels or by demons, heaven or hell.
