Where there will probably be cheering next Sunday – just like yesterday – is the Utrecht pub Florin. The final will be broadcast in the English bar. Simon Griffiths thinks it is a shame for business that the Netherlands is out, but he himself is moderately enthusiastic. “I have lived here for 25 years, but I remain English,” says the manager. According to Griffiths, the pub was packed yesterday. With English people, but mainly with Oranje fans. He has lost them now. “Too bad.”
