Facts and history
French speaking belgians are our little cousins, they're a bit all over the place but they're entertaining in general and they talk hilarious. Dutch speaking belgians are their creepy step brother, nobody here knows anything about them basically.
We played them only twice in World cups (1938 and 1986) and once in a Euro (1984) winning all these games obviously because nobody loses kickabouts to their little cousins.
Little cousins being so proud of us:
Players
Some of the little cousins have grown into decent players but we're still the bully despite little cousins being at absolute peak hype.
Coaches
Tuesday will also be two heavyweights going at it.
On a corner we have a spaniard who won a Football league one (???) and a cuppeh with Wigan (?!?) as a coach. As a player he won a copa del rey , woah.
