The Sky commentators would have you know it's a very close game and that the Belgians aren't having it all their own way.

They apparently are watching a completely different gane to everyone else.

Red was mostly deserved. Can't do that, doubly so right in front of the referee.

Nah, that wouldn't explain why we suddenly have good footballers now but not 5 years ago.

I personally believe it has more to do with the seller mentality of the clubs where Belgium players grew up. I.e. since those clubs know they can get way more money by selling promising youngsters rather than finishing higher on the table, youngsters get way more playing opportunities and are more encouraged to play as they want* (even at the cost of the prestations of the team if necessary). Same argument goes for the Dutch team.

*) if a promising young player dribbles 3 players but loses the ball at the 4th (which leads to a counterattack of the opposing team), he'll get blamed in England and taught to attempt such dribbles only if he knows he can make it. In Belgium/Netherlands/etc he'd be encouraged to try it even more since he did something promising in the hope that he'll eventually be able to dribble all 4.
