Dunglish
(a portmanteau of Dutch and English) is the mistakes native Dutch speakers make when speaking English.
Errors occur mainly in pronunciation, word order and the meaning of words. Former Dutch ambassador and prime minister Dries van Agt supposedly once said "I can stand my little man" (translation of ik kan mijn mannetje staan, a Dutch idiom meaning roughly "I can stand up for myself"). The former leader of the Dutch Liberal Party, Frits Bolkestein, repeatedly referred to economic prospects as "golden showers", unaware of the term's sexual connotation.

Maybe they make these memes since Louis van Gaal is bondscoach in England. He is so funny. I wonder if those players and press understand him.Lol... you learn something new everyday.
AwesomeIn a similar vein, here's a quote attributed to the Norwegian rallycross driver Petter Solberg:
It's not the fart that kills, it's the smell.
(In Norwegian (and Swedish), “fart” = speed & “smell”= bang, crash.)
