Soccer fans crowded into Hurley’s Saloon near Times Square on Saturday morning to watch the World Cup. But they were dressed in orange, not red, white and blue.
The 10 a.m. kickoff time and the rainy weather did not impede the Dutch fans turnout for a viewing party to watch the Netherlands face the United States in the round of 16. If the Netherlands wins, they will advance to the quarterfinals. (The Netherlands led, 2-0, at the end of the first half.)
Over a hundred people wearing orange shirts, scarves, wigs and even cowboy hats packed the bar before the match began, hoping for a spot with an optimal view of one of the dozens of TVs.
