The Story Behind The Viral Dance that Conquered EURO 2024
Netherlands' elimination at the hands of England in the semifinals is not only sad because we won't see players like Van Dijk, Xavi Simons, and Memphis Depay anymore, but also because we bid farewell to one of the best fanbases of EURO 2024. With an engaging viral dance, Dutch fans won everyone's hearts, but what lies behind this dance?
To the rhythm of "Links Rechts" by Snollebollekes, fans follow the song's instructions: raise their arms, jump to the left, and then to the right. With these simple steps, Dutch fans have become a true viral phenomenon throughout EURO 2024.
This song has also become an unofficial anthem for the Netherlands and has caused such excitement that even public servants like the police and firefighters have joined the party.
Meanwhile, the band's leader, Rob Kemps, described it as "magical" and "special," as the song is crossing borders and going viral not only in the Netherlands but also in Germany.
Now, all that's left is to thank and say goodbye to one of the best fanbases that have ever graced the history of football.
