Dutch Field Hockey Team: The Internet Loves Field Hockey All of a Sudden

We wonder why the web suddenly loves the sport of Women's Field Hockey. Oh, it's all so clear now. The Dutch Field Hockey Team.

Yahoo! Sports has breathlessly declared the Netherlands Women's Field Hockey Team as "the best-looking team in the Games".

So, what, now you no longer care about Michelle Jenneke or Samantha Wright? What about Lolo Jones? Or Elisa di Francesca? Or the badass ladies of Water Polo? You're a fickle lot.

The Dutch Women's Field Hockey Team will play Japan in their second Group A prelim match on July 31, having previously beaten Belgium 3-0.

Guys, be advised that, in order to hit on a Dutch woman, you must be able to successfully pronounce her name. You think you can pronounce "Hoog" or "de Goede", but you actually can't. Come to think of it, you'd also probably have to be a world-class athlete as well.

Ladies, looking to steal the look? Be advised that it's hard to get away with orange miniskirts, except in a sporting environment. While shinguards may be the next big thing, we're not counting on it.

Meanwhile, Gawker found this disturbing gem in (where else?) Yahoo Answers. Bas Rutten (himself a Dutchman) has the perfect response.
