This picture was taken in June last year. I’ll aim to put together a prize for what the Belgofoot team feel is the funniest caption. I’ll try and find something for the first response naming the owner of the legs. Prizes won’t be big but will be Belgian-football related. Cheers John
Belgium go into back-to-back matches with Macedonia and the country expects. The exploits of the 10 Belgians in the Premier League have not gone unnoticed – just the opposite in fact. The Saturday night football programmes tend to start with ‘Belgians abroad’ before turning to the domestic fare. The stadium will be packed on Tuesday… Read More »
The Jupiler Pro League ended on Saturday night and the playoffs will start at the end of the month. I don’t always approve of Milan Jovanovic’s comments as he tends to ‘talk the talk’ a little too much; however he was spot on when he said that he hated the playoff system. The Serb added… Read More »
It’s been a typical week in the world of Belgian football, both on and off the field. There’s been lots of talk about red cards and suspensions, one player who wants to be a ‘Red Devil’, another who seems a little unsure about his future and another who is seen as a saviour for his… Read More »
The team of the week was undoubtedly Zulte Waregem, annual budget 8 million euros, but as usual most of the noise surrounded Anderlecht, the league’s wealthiest club.

Zulte Waregem, however, were seen by many – see here for more on the club’s rise… Read More »
Maybe it’s because I had a knee replacement operation a few weeks ago and I’ve just got back from the dentist but I’m seeing things darkly at the moment. Money of course is the root of all evil, and that’s why the two competitions I’m thinking of – The Europa League and the Jupiler Pro… Read More »
Francky Dury’s Zulte Waregem – all for one and one for all[/caption]In July I wrote that Zulte Waregem would be one of seven teams happy to avoid relegation. How wrong can you be? With the end of the classic season approaching, Zulte are second in the table behind Anderlecht. They are seven points clear of… Read More »
It was one of those weekends when the Jupiler Pro League fixture list was not going to get anyone but the most ardent fans excited. The match of the weekend looked to be the clash between Lokeren and Club Brugge, both in the top six. I saw the second half and was not impressed; despite… Read More »
Anderlecht’s Matias Suarez is not the first man to be concerned about heading for Moscow in the dead of winter. Reports in today’s Le Soir say the Agrentine striker, not the most confident of people, is worried about joining CSKA – where a fee has been agreed – because of the cold weather and the… Read More »
