BEL were 4th in the 1986 WC, 3rd in the 2018 WC.
Technically, therefore, I think the recent team is more successful.
But they have underachieved at times, eg being knocked out much too easily in 2014. And they sadly appear to have reached the end of the road now.

Loved seeing a foul throw earlier. Average Sunday league left backs of the world unite.

They were also beaten finalists in the 1980 European Championships, a competition the current team of golden boys have done fuck all in.

Will always be bemused that Belgium gave this group of players to Roberto Martinez for the whole of their international careers xp
― crisp, Sunday, 27 November 2022 16:39 (one year ago) link
They are very good at winning friendlies and qualifying matches

Excellent half. Well done Canada for their goal.

I was wondering why the Canadian goalkeeper keeps getting booed and, inevitably, it's because he's Serbian.

Only 32! Could play in the next World Cup.

What's Portsmouth Bubblejet?
That post is extremely obscure.

Tom D: must admit 1980 before my time in soccer - a good call then, perhaps indeed making that team slightly more successful.
Have to agree with poster Crisp: I don't dislike Martinez and think it's nice to be nice to such people, but he hasn't exactly proven great quality at the highest level. You would think that all kinds of other people could have done as well or better with this BEL squad.

Lol, just saw a clip of Klinsmann not backing down from his comments on Iran because, apparently, he was the former US coach.
Racist cunt.

Kinda want to watch Iran-USA tomorrow evening, or at least listen to it through my ceiling. Sadly I think I've been summoned to the pub

I've only just realised Wales can still go thru if they win and Iran-USA is a draw.
