I don’t believe they need this for their football (soccer) team! They have performed incrediably well so far and look to be tournament favourites.

It’s a German tank painted in the colors of the Dutch national team. It’s soccer blasphemy to be using a German tank for the promotion of the Dutch national side. :P Still pretty cool though, it’s arguable the best MBT in the world. Just a massive hunk of metal and firepower.

Yes I believe the Canooks do have them in Afghanistan Gab. I think they leased them through Hertz International because they have a Yellow circle decal on the rear part of the turret with a ‘1′ in it!

Sorry for the double-post Murdoc. Your comment software really gave me the runaround. Then again, it might be my antiqated service provider which uses carrier pidgeons. Analog pigeons might I add.

Looks like ONE MEAN MACHINE. However I wonder what its Carbon Footprint is like. The Europhiles are big into saving the planet from the horrible Co2 monster. Of course if its engine runs on tofu that's OK!
