A journey through the Brussels football scene for @eifmagazine - by me

[Engrossed in Football @eifmagazine]

Brussels is home to Belgium’s most successful club side, and the site of tragedy at Heysel 35 years ago, but there is much more for football enthusiasts to discover.

@robccfc takes us on a journey through the football culture of the Belgian capital.

@Ankaman616 I would argue this is not Belgium’s first post golden generation WC. That was 2022!

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

I am kinda traumatised at this. Gent was not on my bingo card. Thought he’d go back to Portsmouth for a swan song. But Gent? Really? So dull. And now he’s a rival.

I left a long message on my insta about how brilliant the World Cup is and how everyone should do it and how the US/Seattle is a great host and and and and….(please subscribe to Robccfc on insta for more!)

@RUSG_FR Honestly you think you know someone…and then he goes to boring boring Gent. Can’t believe it.

First half notes - Belgium are poor. Slow. Doku disaster. Shades of the first game in 2024! And we never recovered. Need to up it asap

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@BelgianPodcast @WillDowningComm So - and again, I didn’t watch the game - but two different sets of people told me this independently of each other!

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@WillDowningComm @BelgianPodcast I didn’t watch the game but English and Canadian friends who did said he “wasn’t great”

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@prodnose It should all be played on South Bermondsey time. Am I wrong!

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@Dav1dOLeary You watching on tv? I’m actually here. Different vibe “sur place”

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@RUSG_FR Sadiki still feels as if he’s our player, even though he left a year ago

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

Seattle is super nice. That is all.

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@WillDowningComm The fact he got sent off twice would suggest otherwise

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@BelgianFans They’ll only wear it a few times. Prefer the red

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@BelgiumTouch I was there

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@MiguelDelaney I mean, fair enough.

Decent turnout from the Carthinaginians

Pretty amazing experience last night in Rijeka. 8k stadium, sold out. In the starting lineups - Modric, De Bruyne, Gvardiol, Perisic, Kovacic, Doku, Tielemans, Courtois (Lukaku came on as sub)
