Wait I didn't realise this!

We call it Holland ourselves.

Thank you.
Hollanders ALWAYS thinking they are more relevant than the other 10 provinces.

[Phoenetic]

now let's hope we won't face Spain again this WC only to lose then

When foreigners say Holland they mean the Netherlands and you know that.

Right. we even call it Holland ourselves often. Holland used to be just 2 provinces, but nowadays everyone just uses it synonymous to The Netherlands.

Exactly!! When I speak English, I say Netherlands but when I speak French, I say "Hollande"!

Pays-Bas (which is Netherlands in French) sounds so bad to me.

Then y'all can remain mad at the fact 99% of the people calls it Holland.
Geez the things people care about.

It's a similar situation (although less obvious) when people use "England" as an umbrella term for the UK. That's not right.

I agree with you it's not a big deal but you shouldnt encourage people to continue using Holland if its clearly wrong. Ill admit I genuinely didnt know the difference until it was explained just now. But Ill use the Netherlands exclusively from now on. Makes sense.

Basically this

I'm sorry for starting this

The complete ANNAHILATION. I'm still in shock

[Cockney Cupcake]

The Netherlands slayed

[Swine]

Gaan jullie nou voor altijd door met dat gezeik over 'Holland' en 'The Netherlands'? Holland is korter, daarom gebruiken mensen het.

Men zegt toch ook niet 'ik ga op vakantie naar Voormalig Joegoslavische Republiek Macedonië'? Het is ongeveer hetzelfde. Macedonië is een provincie (in Griekenland), maar FYR Macedonië is een land.
The Netherlands is tegenwoordig zowat hetzelfde als Holland voor buitenlanders. Apprecieer gewoon dat ze sowieso ons kleine landje kennen.

[Georges]

Holland was coming for blood and vengeance.

You could see the aggressiveness.

Incredible match.

So what if it's shorter, I simply do not live in Holland what you want me to do about it. I live in the Netherlands and that's that.

Same

I was certain Spain were gonna win like 3-0

[Qwerty1234]

I used to think the Netherlands was the whole kingdom and Holland was one of the countries that make up "The Netherlands". Know better now, of course.

Holland is a general term most people, especially tourists, use.

Holland is the economical, touristical centre of the country, you can compare it to Groningen city and Groningen provincie, if you live in Veendam you're still a Groninger.
