You lost three players to barely scrape by Anderlecht and still only end up in third place with one match up, congrats.

You're shifting the goalposts, which Kujovic will want to do once even Lokeren accidentally stumble through your paper defence to score ten goals

Just to show how fast football can go sometimes, the Belgian starting XI during EURO 2008 qualification:



Top row: Anthony Van den Borre, Peter Van der Heyden, Karel Geraerts, Philip Clement, Thomas Vermaelen, Gill Swerts, Stijn Huysegems, Kevin Van Den Bergh.
Second row: Bart Goor, Philippe Léonard, Gaby Mudingayi, Thomas Buffel.
Last row: Mbo Mpenza, Luigi Pieroni, Stijn Stijnen, Silvio Proto, Geert De Vlieger, Wesley Sonck, Timmy Simons.
Well, that's a thoroughly depressing line-up.

Previously, De Bilde received a suspended two-year prison sentence in 1992 for head-butting two boy scout leaders and, four months before the Porte incident, he head-butted one nurse and punched another when he was denied access to a hospital room his father was in, having suffered a brain haemorrhage.

De Bilde – who campaigned for a European ban on cat and dog fur – was fined by the club in 2006 for missing a match to mourn the death of one of his dogs

This is English football, for some reason the world loves it more than any other league — one thing is a real aggression I would call it. Another thing is duels that are handled in a certain way and I think the referee did very well.

From minute 1 to minute 95 there was a real fight — a football fight between Benteke and Ivanovic.

Crosspost from the Belge foot thread: Anderlecht manager offered the Belgian press some cake and champagne the day before their match against Kortrijk, hoping really bad they wouldn't lose after losing to Olympiacos, Club and Benfica. They lost 0-1
For context: Anderlecht is the United of Belgium, only even worse.
