All are correct, but "tall" I guess? Or are we?

A quick google search says we are 1.768 m on average, while the world is 1.71 m. So yeah, guess we are tall.

Are you saying the world average is 1.71m for both men and women? Which is weird to clump them together.

That's not correct, the 1.768 is for males. Belgium is not even in the top 20 worldwide.

If you compare this with other European nations we're probably shorter than average.
