[QUOTE="Fladian, post: 114764, member: 5833"] Oh yes, that reminds me. It's 'Willem van Oranje', not "William". =) I'm not too sure about all that. I started to follow football/soccer intensively since three years ago. For all my life, people have been asking me what club I support. For years, I tried to avoid the question by switching to a different subject, or name a team hardly anyone knows. For those who know the teams, I remember naming 'Zwart-Wit' (Amateur), 'Fortuna Sittard' and 'Go Ahead Eagles'. A little confused look appeared on the faces, but it kept them quiet. At some day when I gave it a little interest, I started to focus a little at Vitesse (Arnhem) because of multiple reasons. But because of my lack of interest in the sport, I never mentioned Vitesse. During my 'interest' for Vitesse, the questions of what club I support kept coming. By coincidence, I read 'SC Heerenveen' on a list, and named that. Little did I know of the team itself back then, but in opposite of the amateur, Zwart-Wit (Black-White), the weak Fortuna and Go Ahead, I got a very strange look directed at me, and often the reaction of: "Heerenveen? :/" Funny enough, most questions stopped then. I didn't know the reason why it stopped, or what Heerenveen was exactly. Three years ago, I decided to give the team some research and I started to like it more and more. I've read about everything I could find, and know just about all general stuff from the team as the back of my hand. But the once great player, 'Abe Lenstra', the calm and peaceful team and the [i]friendliest[/i] supporters/fans from the Netherlands, really convinced me of everything. Nowadays, I stick around with everything of the entire area there. But like I said, I'm not from the North (Heerenveen is up north), though I wish I was. *uhhum* WK is coming up again... [/QUOTE]
