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.

@BelRedDevils Horrible ground

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

Could be a very scary game. I have to watch every Cov game these days from behind the sofa

[Coventry City @CoventryCityFC]

Halloween weekend in Cov. 👻

@Zonal_Marking Nothing like it in France, Germany, NL, Belgium. Weird how it’s seemingly under appreciated in the U.K.

Our title challenge is back on!

[Coventry City @CoventryCityFC]

Our first ever @PremierLeague win at the @CBSArena. ⚡️

💣 EPP heavyweights drop a bombshell by demanding the cancellation of the IAA, which introduces European preference in subsidies and public procurement for specific sectors.

@FfcLucan @CroatiaFooty @TheSun Fair enough. You’ve not lived if you’ve not been in the cage though

@Zonal_Marking @DS950143957262 As the Big Lebowski said: “that’s just like your opinion man”. For many years I’d play rugby for my school in the morning and go to Highfield Road watch Cov City in the afternoon. This is NORMAL because team sports are GREAT. You don’t have to like both, obviously - but it helps

@janwillemspaans Udine! Villarreal! St Etienne! Burnley!

For years, under the ownership of a despised hedge fund — exiled from their own city twice — the Coventry City story was a tragedy.

Now, back in the Premier League after 25 yrs, they’re a remarkable success story.

Bit disappointed that most think Coventry will go down this year. Hopefully we’ll avoid relegation. I can’t help hoping for more (conference league?) but feel that 17th will do just fine.

@HLTCO Union season ticket holder here - can confirm he’s good BUT he failed a medical at Inter earlier, so, there’s that

Enjoying St Helens playing Stone Roses’ “Love spreads” during VAR intervals

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

Can’t go to Bodo as I’m on holiday. Annoying but will inadvertently save lots of money. It was by far the safest of all the other options (Fenerbahce, Olympiakos, Lyon)

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@RUSG_FR Le match à domicile d’abord?

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@vinniedeltaco @jonawils Was there for Belgium v Egypt - I second this. The atmosphere is different to, say, the premier league, but I’m not sure it’s worse necessarily

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@NffcAlan @patmurphybbc To me it sounded like Matterface only really knew the English based players in the Norway team, had little understanding of their setup or how they wanted to play, and was starstruck by Haaland. I learnt very little. I know he’s not the analyst but you still expect more

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

@RUSG_FR But then why is it huis clos?

[Rob Francis @robccfc]

Strong statement by Belgium. 🍿🍿🍿

Academics will be studying the last 10 mins of normal time from the Belgium-Senegal game for years to come. Oi boffins, you may be able to explain the origin of the universe but can you explain that? Anyway…onward!
