Return in triumph of Red Devils

Well, we didn't become world champion soccer. Due to the French, who did not play football but chose to park their bus before their goal. The French really don't deserve to win this championship, I really hope the Croatian team wins later today!

The match for the bronze medal, on the other hand, was a really good match. The English just wanted to win as much as we did. It was a nice and lively match - and we won! Our team made two goals, one by Thomas Meunier and the other by Eden Hazard.


The Red Devils returned from Russia yesterday evening. This morning they will be welcomed at the Royal Palace, as the king is also a supporter of the team. Afterwards, they'll ride in an open bus through Brussels and their ride will end at the Great Market. There, on a balcony of the City Hall, they'll greet their many supporters. The Grand Place only can take about 9000 people, all the others will have to stand along the route of the bus if they want to catch a glimpse of their idols.

This 2018 team did best of all the Belgian teams in the past. In 1986 another national team become 4th, but the younger generations don't know about that. I do, as we stood up in the middle of the night (the WC took place in Mexico at that time) to watch the matches.
