Going to keep the football stuff mostly to @totalfriteball but if you want to know why I’m enjoying the hijinx and up and coming stars of the Pro League the @BelgianPodcast season preview is worth your time. twitter.com/totalfriteball…
Does the @ProLeagueBE have Messi and Ronaldo? No. Is the defending often a bit slapstick? Yes. But it has clubs with history, great new emerging players (and some returning greats @SimonMignolet @VincentKompany), a deep football culture and,
most of all, it’s got the challenge of trying to make Belgian football successful when its league covers just 11 million and can’t hope for the money in the Prem or La Liga. Plus frites sauce carbonnade.
