The Irish are Dutch for World Cup

HOLLAND, Mich. (WOOD) - This is what the World Cup does: an Irish pub in Holland is doing very well because The Netherlands are in the finals.

A flood of orange shirts are expected in Holland sports bars on Sunday, as the Dutch of Michigan cheer on their European kin, even in Irish bars like Curragh on E. 8th Street.

The Curragh was filled Saturday afternoon with patrons watching the consolation match between Germany and Uruguay . The pub made a big deal of the World Cup, and as The Netherlands kept winning, more patrons responded.

"It's been great," said General Manager Glen Behan. "Now, tomorrow, the final." Behan is expecting a huge crowd in orange jerseys.

The Netherlands takes on Spain beginning at 2:30 p.m. Sunday on WOTV4
