Soccer Fever in Amsterdam - A Photo Essay
|
| Evelyn Hannon My last visit to Holland coincided with the time the 2010 World Soccer Tournament was being played in South Africa. My pals and I were in Amsterdam when Holland played Brazil in the quarter finals. Though my girlfriends and I are not diehard soccer fans, the excitement in the city was palpable and we wanted to be part of the action. The
photo opportunities that day were endless. Hopefully
