Dutch fans are euphoric during Euro 2024. Oranje won their match against Poland (2-1) and drew with France (0-0), securing their advancement to the tournament's next phase. A famous online recording shows "orange" fans engaging an elderly German couple in a "Mexican wave."

The Dutch started the Euro 2024 competition very well. First, they defeated Poland 2-1 after a thrilling match. Then they drew 0-0 with the favoured France. This gives Oranje four points after two games and practically assures them a place in the next round.

It's no wonder that Dutch fans were euphoric before the match against Austria in Berlin. Orange-clad supporters practically took over the streets of the German capital, singing loudly and cheering for their players.
