Pledge — When I look through the windows of my small, shared student house I see a lot of small orange flags, big Dutch flags and a lot of other orange decorations. Well, I used to at least. Because, as soon as Holland were knocked out of the European football championship in Poland and Ukraine, everything suddenly disappeared. Holland loves football, but that also means that there was a lot of disappointment throughout the country as soon as the Dutch team got knocked out.

Weirdly enough, it got me thinking about the upcoming Nations Cups for Team Fortress 2. ETF2L is hosting not only a 6-on-6 Nations Cup, but also a Highlander Nations Cup this summer. So while club football and team TF2 will be put on hold for a bit the countries take over and will get all the attention while the roster changes will occur in the background. The thing is though, will the TF2 NCs get the (relative) same amount of attention as Euro 2012 does?
