Dutch celebrate World Cup win over Brazil

Ecstatic Dutch football supporters took to the streets Friday, singing, dancing and waving orange flags to celebrate their team's World Cup quarter-final victory over Brazil.

Egging on their team in the dying minutes of the match with chants of "Holland, Holland", fans clustered in restaurants and bars in The Hague jumped with joy as the final whistle blew, shouting at the top of their lungs in glee.

The streets of the city were coloured orange by men, women and children donning shirts, wigs, hats and boas in the colour of the Oranje Elftal (Orange Eleven) and blowing noisily on vuvuzelas as they revelled in their 2-1 win.
