How viral Netherlands ‘Left Right’ song took Euro 2024 by storm as England look to put an end to Dutch ‘Carnival dance’
GERMANY has been flooded with the colour orange in recent weeks.
That’s because thousands of Dutch fans have made the short trip over from Netherlands for Euro 2024.
Ronald Koeman and his players have enjoyed a successful tournament so far, reaching the semi-finals with three wins from five.
And their fans have been there every step of the way, taking Germany by storm.
Oranje supporters went viral for an iconic carnival dance when they arrived.
It involves a large group of fans holding each other’s shoulders while jumping from left to right in unison.
They dance to a song called Links Rechts – which translates to ‘Left Right’ in English – by Snollebollekes, a Dutch party act.
It wasn’t a huge hit when it was first released in 2015 but now racks up several streams during every carnival and throughout major football tournaments.
Netherlands face England in the Euro 2024 semi-finals on Wednesday.
The winner will face either Spain or France in the final.

Discussing Wednesday’s match, manager Koeman said: “For the whole nation it is something special.
“We are a small nation and to be part of the semi-finals with England, France and Spain we are really proud to get the opportunity.
“If you win the match that always gives a good feeling.
“We need to recover, like England. It is not a physical difference between them and us. We played on the same day, we need to travel like them. It is not the physical [aspect] that will decide the result.”
