From the Netherlands to Suriname, the number of Dutch players in Friday's World Cup quarterfinals is escalating, with many traces of origins being traced to the South American former colony.Two young friends of Surinamese origin practice free kicks on a pitch beneath the Amsterdam tower blocks where they grew up and dream of wearing the Netherlands famous orange jersey.Were we people of colour?It's encouraging to see people of color be so successful.
Seedorf, Davids, and Rijkaard are the three old people.He said he was born in 1978, loved Maradona and had been a fan his entire life I'm proud, because this is the case under new president Louis van Gaal.I am very proud that we, the Surinamese, are also part of the Netherlands squad.And I am hoping to be world champions!Despite the multicultural image of both the Netherlands and its football teams, Urbian Fitz-James, who led the Dutch to their first major title in 1988, claimed that players from Suriname, where her parents were born, would do better to play for their own country.But she also claims that the Dutch squad has been weaker.
