Young Dutch boy leads PSV crowd in booming chant during pre-season match

"It's a shame we don't share the same courage in our convictions as this little 10-year-old Dutch lad, who - with a little help from his Dad when it came to the words (come on you boys in red, Eindhoven we love you), proudly led the PSV crowd in a chant during a recent pre-season friendly against FC Eindhoven..."

I wondered how long before the F word showed up. These are cloggies, I know they sound like Germans and are holding up a hand but they are a different and largely peaceful peoples. This is just a football chant at a football match. Nothing more.

It seems that the chant calls for people to raise both hands. I noticed one person raising only a single hand, but I assumed (and hoped) that this was out of laziness.

They serve beer at these events, right?

The Dutch aren't doing Nazi salutes these days or any other days.

I'm glad that soccer clubs never have any nationalist/right-wing aspirations.

(Yes, that was a joke. I'm sure these people are just goofing around. Until a referee's head gets put on a stake, that is.)

I like how they broke into "Yankee Doodle" at the end there.

So in this modern, gritty, relaunch of the classic, the little Dutch boy punches a hole in the dike, unleashing the maelstrom?
