LOL...
Yeah... when that one was composed some 400 years ago or so, we didn't play football yet. It is because we took away one of the few good guys in Germany to start our Royal Family.
The song was elected to be our National Anthem during the so called 80 year war of independence against Spain (1568-1648). It has also a line that we always honoured the King of Spain
.
Actually there are talks going on everyonce in a while to keep the music but change the lyrics of our anthem and get rid of the text referring to Germany and Spain.
