A journey through the Brussels football scene for @eifmagazine - by me
Brussels is home to Belgium’s most successful club side, and the site of tragedy at Heysel 35 years ago, but there is much more for football enthusiasts to discover. @robccfc takes us on a journey through the football culture of the Belgian capital. ➡️ bit.ly/FootballinBrus…
Union fan sitting next to me on the train to Munich eating an avocado. We’re so civilised.

Pleased - nay “honoured” - to be able to benefit from those cheap as chips 60 dollar World Cup tickets. See you in Seattle for Belgium v Egypt on 15 June!
An American speaks!
Nope, it’s an entertainment product manufactured and sold to generate revenue, to customers who voluntarily decide they want to purchase the product, in a market that determines if the product is worth the price. Doesn’t mean the product can’t be deeply emotional and personal.
Lazare doesn’t seem to be at #afcon. His career really died after Union. Weird. What’s happening @cotedivoire ?
There’s a guy playing for South Africa tonight called Sithole and I have to confess I misread that the first time #AFCON
Childhood hero of mine too. Great piece, very sobering
I spent an afternoon with Dermot Reeve in Portsmouth, a childhood hero who had everything until drugs ruined it all. He is getting by on £6 a day but “all that exists is the next ball”. This one meant a lot to me nytimes.com/athletic/68651…
Cheapest individual tickets for World Cup group games - 180 euros. Scandalous. That’s me out. Not sorry either tbh
3 of the 5 players on today’s match ticket have left the club. In Amoura’s case, over a year ago!
In a year when the World Cup will be held in the Americas, it’s poor to organise two friendlies in…the US. Do they actually expect Belgian fans to go? Do they care?
Lots of kids at Union v Cercle today - makes you realise how evening kickoffs (and there are many of them) really stop kids and families from coming to games
Selling my ticket for Galatasaray v Union in the away end this Tuesday - can’t go due to general strike in Belgium. Face value €42
The ultras’ code clearly displayed at Standard tonight (pretty sure we’ll break some of these!)
My girlfriend just asked me, in relation to my trip next week to Turkey, “when does this football end?” How do I tell her?
You do wonder if Kazakhstan’s decision to sacrifice World Cup and euros qualification for money spinning qualifiers was the right one. They would surely qualify from Asian qualifying? Or maybe not. Anyone know?
Obsessed with this video
Was sat next to a guy in a Bilbao shirt on the flight from Madrid. “You going to Newcastle?” I asked. “Yes” he said. “But I’m a Barcelona fan!” 🤯
