No one likes the English
Them people in the Netherlands are a bit, odd. Getting support for their football team in this years World Cup has rested on the use of replica Nazi helmets bearing pro-Dutch slogans. However – the company behind them has branched out to let England supporters get in on the “football war”.
The World Cup is being held in Germany, where these plastic helmets are being encouraging to wear at the matches.
The original orange plastic helmets have small Dutch flags printed on the side and bear slogans such as “Attack!” and “Go, Netherlands Go”.
Weno Geerts, director of Free Time Products, stated “There’s no political message here. It’s just a joke. We’re making fun of Germans, just like they like to make fun of us.”
The UK edition of the helmet, being billed as “the number one gadget for FIFA World Cup held in Germany.” features the slogan “No one likes us” across the England flag on a white helmet.
If you want to support the football war effort this year, you can pick up your very own helmet from noonelikesus.com for ã4.99. It’s worth noting there is a minimum order of 5 helmets, so you’ll probably need to rope your mates in to buying one – or get one for all the family?
