Euroborg (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈʏː.ro.ˌbɔrx]) is the stadium of football club FC Groningen, with a capacity of 22,329 seats. Located to the south-east of Groningen, the Euroborg site houses a casino and a movie theatre, a school, a supermarket and a fitness centre. A temporary railway station at the Euroborg has opened in late 2007. A permanent one is slated to open in 2010. The stadium seats are completely in the club's colours: green and white. 1000 seats are available for the supporters of the away team.
The stadium was built by a consortium of Ballast Nedam, Royal BAM Group and VolkerWessels and completed in 2006.
Euroborg is easy to reach by public transport. Train station Groningen Europapark, located 200 meters from the stadium, is served every hour by a number of trains (coming from Groningen Central) and busses. There are also a number of car parks (marked as P1, P2, etc.) in the surrounding area.
The Euroborg was also one of four venues for the UEFA U21 Championships 2007 which The Netherlands hosted. It was host to all group matches of Portugal and the final between The Netherlands and Serbia.
Arjen Robben (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɑrjən ˈrɔbə(n)]; born 23 January 1984) is a Dutch footballer who plays for the German Bundesliga club Bayern Munich. Though often classified as a forward, he usually plays behind the forwards (inside position) as a winger, and he is also known for his dribbling skills, speed, crossing ability and his accurate long-range shot. He is also a part of the Netherlands national team and has appeared at Euro 2004, the 2006 World Cup, Euro 2008 and at the 2010 World Cup.
Robben first came to prominence with Groningen, for whom he was player of the year for the 2000–01 Eredivisie season. Two years later he signed for PSV, where he became the Netherlands' Young Player of the Year and won an Eredivisie title. The following season Robben's signature was pursued by leading English clubs, and after protracted transfer negotiations he joined Chelsea in the 2004 close season.
Robben's Chelsea debut was delayed through injury, but upon returning to fitness he helped Chelsea to consecutive Premier League titles, and was the FA Premier League Player of the Month in November 2005. After a third season in England which was punctuated by injury, Robben moved to Spanish club Real Madrid for €35 million. In August 2009, Robben transferred to Bayern Munich for a fee of around €25 million, scoring two goals on his debut. In his first season in Munich, Bayern won the league title, Robben's fifth league title in eight years, and got to the Champions League final. After his first season with the Bavarian club, the player was also named Footballer of the Year in Germany.
We drove two hundred miles
To play to fifteen kids
Who didn't appreciate the sound
(play hardcorrre!)
Our heads were pointed to the ground
Got promised some money
But the show we played was free
Kids started to leave.
And my fingers start to bleed
We'll never be on Fuse TV
We'll never be on the cover of AP Magazine
So what?
I guess we're taking a chance.
And I guess I'm bold.
Because I'm gonna teach this dance.
I'll leave it all behind
The promises and memories, the thoughts of another time and
I'll make it! Even on my own
You said to me I'd never change,
But on the road I'll never be alone
We drove three hundred miles
To play to 200 kids
Who wanted just to hear more
(play an encore!)
My back is feeling kind of sore
Someone took all the money
that I think we'll never see
Then Clint quit the band
And all the blame comes back to me
We'll never be on MTV
We'll never be on the cover of the Rolling Stone magazine
So what?
I guess we're taking a chance.
And I guess I'm bold.
Because I'm gonna teach this dance.
I'll leave it all behind
The promises and memories
the thoughts of another time and
I'll make it! Even on my own
You said to me I'd never change
But on the road, I'll never be alone
Never be alone!
Twenty Minutes in, I broke another string
What am I doing here? I can't even sing!
I can't stop this rushing sensation!
Stop dreaming start living your real life now!
