Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf ran a cartoon on the front cover of its newspaper today with Netherlands manager Louis Van Gaal wearing a sombrero that says “MexiGo Home,” as well as wearing a poncho and toting two guns.
The rest of the cartoon features Dutch stars such as Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben running around as little mice.
