Frisian, or Fries, as we Dutch say it, is the language of the province of Fryslan (Friesland). It's the second offical language of the Netherlands and bears similarities with English and Danish. West-Friesland, however, is a region in the province of North-Holland, where they speak a dialect of Hollandic-dutch.

What would indeed the all time Netherlands team look like as selected by this blog? That would be an interesting exercise while we wait for more soccer action to happen. Jan, can that vote thingy be tweaked to host something like this? Would be kind of neat to see what the regulars would eventually come up with. Just a thought. Bob raises a very interesting question.
