Red Alert: in 2010 an invasion of weird & wild European tribes is expected in Southern Africa. How to recognize them? They move around in groups, wearing their tribe colours, carrying strange attributes in the same tints. They feed on liquid bread (beer) and chips only. It's not sure they have a language - if so, it consists of about ten words, of which oleoleoleole is the most important. According to recent research they communicate by varying the tone and length of 'oleole'. Before and after each succer match they roam cities & villages - an excellent chance to study them in the wild!
To collect data, your research team staked their lives and went to Amsterdam during the Romania-France and the Netherlands-Italy tribal wars. Even though we disguised ourselves in tribal colours, we were lucky to find a safe h(e)aven to hide until the heat was off again. The UN managed to supply plenty food & drinks & bandages, and some charcoal to cook on - imagine!
There even was a tele so we could watch The War live. The day before the Germans took revenge for their silver medal during the Second World War by beating the Poles, but the poor Italians saw the gold going to the Netherlands again. Just so you know how deep this succer goes: a Low Lands - España match is a replay of the Tachtigjarige Oorlog (1568-1648; the guerrilla of the Dutch against their rightful Spanish King or the freedom war of the Netherlands against the Spanish occupation...). That's why the main tribal colour is orange, even though de Dutch flag is red-white-blue: Willem of Orange, forefather of the Dutch Royal House, was the leader of the revolt.
