Well done to Holland. They made the final for the first time since 1978 and it was completely unexpected.. erm.. so much so that they didn't even bother booking a hotel this late into the tournament.

The team had only reserved rooms in the Sandton Hilton hotel until July 5, meaning they expected to go out to Brazil in the quarter-finals, and have now been forced to book new accommodation in Johannesburg.

Having begged the hotel to extend their stay beyond the semi-finals (which they managed to do), they have now pitched up at the Sunnyside Park hotel ahead of the final on Sunday. No-one likes moving house, especially when there's a big game on the horizon, so we hope they settle in quickly and get their eyes back on Spain.
