You should have seen the streets around here last week (before the Dutch team weren't doing so well - now they are out of the running - but hey). Everything was orange. You might of heard of the old military joke about painting the grass green - well here they do it with orange. Orange flags, orange streamers, orange sheets with a lion on it that looks somewhat similar to the Peugeot Lion(!), orange dogs, orange cats, orange trees, orange paving, orange people...
...fanatical! Definitely the nuttiest.

During the last world cup final between Spain and Holland two years ago; Sunset Blvd in Hollywood was completely filled with fans dressed in orange. Quite an impressive and hearth warming sight for a Dutchy in Hollywood.
When still in A'dam I would visit many AJAX games at the old Olympic stadium. When entering the stadium the cops in full riot gear would press us though small iron gates to our seats...not much of a family happening.
