    Beyond irony. Who writes this script?

    Oh wow. Robert Buckland has just asked "our friends in Europe" to "put aside ideology". Yes, he really has. Am beginning to think these people should be in an asylum. Or a prison. Or both.

    Great conversation on merits of skills etc in the issue of national teams in an era of increased calls for regionalism etc

    If relations across the 'team' are regarded as mutually complementary & supported by the majority in each of Belgium's parts they should endure the test of time. Although recent Euro history shows calls for regionalism & increased devolution are growing elsewhere. Not my call!😃

    Don't be irresponsible over Christmas and make the situation worse. Think long-term, there will be other years in which you can celebrate. Please don't be selfish in your behaviour.

    What about the future of Belguim? The breaking up of a strong team.

    If nothing else it demonstrates again that & do mix & have done for eons! As more regions seek recognition via sport & push for more devolution and/or full sovereignty these scenarios will be more common. skills will be even more in demand! 😉
