In Germany "Holland" is used a lot too, even more than "The Netherlands". There was a well-known series of tv-ads for a certain cheese in the 70s and 80s which had the slogan "Frau Antje bringt Käse aus Holland" ("Miss Antje brings cheese from Holland").

Dutch was the word given for Western German speakers. I know obviously that Deutsch is German. God.

You mean that Dutch is also a German word? It’s not in my dictionary, but you may be right, of course.

The word Dutch comes from the proto-Germanic word *þiudiskaz, and became Duutsc in Middle Dutch, which later gave the two early modern Dutch forms, Duits in the County of Holland and the Duchy of Brabant, and Diets in the County of Flanders.[11] Duits has taken on the meaning of "German" and Diets meaning "Dutch" (along with "Nederlands") but no longer in general use (see the Diets article), dropped for its Nazi-era overtones. German Deutsch meaning "German" has the same origin.

I remember Frau Antje indeed. And the most famous Dutch cheese comes from Holland (the western part of the Netherlands. On the image, Holland is colored orange). The name "Antje" is used mostly in Friesland, the leftmost of the two northernmost provinces outside Holland - and in Germany.
By the way, as far as I'm informed, refugee's information about the word Dutch is correct.

Looks bad for Denmark now.
EDIT: The second goal was nice, though. Excellent pass from Nani. Edited by refugee - June 13 2012 at 11:40 |

Thank you for your effort, but I'm afraid we don't do a good job ourselves keeping the two apart. Edited by Moogtron III - June 13 2012 at 12:12 |

Thanks for highlighting the real Holland. I also remember the Frau Antje ads. You know what's funny? I had a German pen-pal, from East-Germany (DDR) when that was still a country, and she was called Antje. A real Dutch name for a real German girl. |

Yeah but Portugal is deserved in front. Denmark had a hard time creating anything offensive in the first half unless you count the last five minutes.
