I hope she likes orange clothing!
When South Africa hosted the FIFA World Cup in 2010 (and I watched USA v Algeria live!), the country was teeming with delightful Dutch soccer fans who hired buses and travelled in long convoys in support of their team. And among them were large numbers of very large gentlemen and especially ladies, all wearing orange T-shirts with "Holland" emblazoned across the chest. So, OK. But the ladies were really very, er, well built, and I had to concentrate hard on not giggling, because the Hol- in Holland is the same as the English word 'hollow', for obvious reasons, and this is fine for the country, but for those very convex people it just wasn't suitable at all.
