Je Maintiendrai

"I will maintain", national motto of the Netherlands.

Tribute to the Dutch national women’s team, the Lionesses, for making history yesterday with their first EURO cup. I am normally not all that invested in football (or soccer, if you prefer), but this was an event I didn’t want to miss. Women's football is disproportionately underappreciated in the Netherlands compared to men's football, and this victory is an important step towards their public recognition. I’m stoked for the team, but also for all of the young women and especially little girls in the Netherlands who aspire to become professional football players. For them this victory will no doubt be an example and an inspiration. Well done ladies!

    right down to correct proportions, makes for a great piece of artwork. That is a team I would love to see in person.

    If all the players looked like this, this sport would be way more popular in America!

    You must mean the United States of America, because basically all the rest of America has embraced it as their national sport. They also correctly call it 'football'/'futbol'.

    The USA really is the odd one out when it comes to this sport.

    This is incredibly fitting, since the Dutch national women's football team is commonly referred to as 'the Orange Lionesses'.

    Which, North or South? Because you mean THE AmericaS, clearly. ("Just call it The United States for short!" What, you mean like The United States of Mexico?) And if it's North America, I think you're missing a big part of it...

    Also the British named American football - so blame it on them. (Because it's played ON foot, you see, rather than horseback. Like polo.)

    Anywho, merely observing that anthro players would be great.
