Patch FIFA World Cup 2006 Germany

To satisfy myself, spent the almost half of my day re-updated on the 2006 FIFA World Cup patch (apply on the right sleeve). The 2006 FIFA World Cup was the 18th FIFA and it was held from 9 June to 9 July 2006 in Germany. The 2006 logo, designed by the UK-based agency Whitestone, aimed to celebrate the German people’s joy, happiness, and smiles.

A time to make friends (German official slogan: Die Welt zu Gast bei Freunden) was the official slogan of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Invented by Austrian artist André Heller, the slogan was to express the Germans' hospitality especially during the World Cup.

Referred to as "Holland", the Netherlands national football team is controlled by the Royal Netherlands Football Association. It won the 1988 UEFA European Football Championship and reached two consecutive World Cup finals in 1974 and 1978 but lost both finals to their respective host nations, West Germany and Argentina. At the peak of its success in the 1970s, the team was famous for its mastery of Total Football and was nicknamed "Clockwork Orange" for its precision passing.

The Netherlands qualified for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany and finished second in Group C after beating Serbia & Montenegro (1-0) and the Ivory Coast (2-1) and drawing Argentina (0-0). Both Argentina and the Netherlands finished the group stage with 7 points, but the Argentinians had a superior goal difference and finished first as a result. The Dutch were eliminated in the second round after losing 0-1 to Portugal, in a match that produced a World Cup record of four red cards (two for either side) and was nicknamed "the Battle of Nuremberg" by the press.
