A Scandal Dressed in Orange

The first reported scandal at the World Cup involved 36 Dutch models that attended the Holland-Denmark game on June 14 at Soccer City.  The magnificent stadium was filled with orange but these 36 beautiful women still did not go unnoticed by fans or FIFA!  Wearing all orange that included a Bavaria Beer symbol on their tops, the girls were taken from the stadium by security for questioning.  Accused with "ambush marketing" the fallout from the girls in orange included ITV commentator and former international soccer player Robbie Earle being fired for passing on his tickets to a third party.  On the field, Holland defeated Denmark 2-0, Japan upset Cameroon 1-0 and Italy played to a 1-1 draw with Paraguay.  Check out a video of the Bavaria Beer Girls in action and a goal by Dirk Kuyt in the 2-0 win over Denmark.
