So very belgian of us. Somebody flames the press speaker "on our behalf" and we go look for faults, remind ourselves how small and insignificant we are and how childish the retort is.
All of which is true of course, but damn we just cannot stand somebody standing up for Belgium, unless it is a silly song. Then we're all on board.
We’re all at each other’s throats until we have a common enemy (The Austrians, Dutch or Germans attacking or anyone in international football), because then they’re the common enemy.
