The Belgians

What makes them so bloody good, what's their secret ?

Population of under 12 million and the amount of world class players they have just now is frightening.

It's been bothering me for a few years now, Albania as well so many teams in Europe that were whipping boys when we grew up

Just got lucky with a generation of footballers. It happens quite often to the smaller nations doesn't it

Scotland aside obviously

Little children able to play football from a young age, Holland also is just full of football pitches that you can use free of charge, the wee bit grass we used to play on when I was young ended up turned into mudhills....council are b@stards! This little hole of a country will produce next to nothing until kids have the privilege of being of being able to play football without having to pay out the nose for it. Not every parent can afford the stupid prices it costs to let their children play football. The state of it is laughable. Imho

Have enough special players to win a major tournament however they lack being able to play together at the moment anyway
