Yes, there's pandemonium in Ghent tonight. Belgium has just beaten Russia 1-0 in the qualifying rounds of the World Cup and the city and its citizens have erupted in euphoria. There is singing in the street, cars are driving past with flags flying and horns hooting and even the Police vans are tooting and waving. What a wonderful atmosphere!
We were sitting in a street restaurant/bar and savouring another of the wonderful Belgian beers - this time a Valeir lager - 6.5%, and a rather lovely drop - when all hell broke loose and the city exploded. Full Time - a second win to Belgium and a seemingly unloseable game against North Korea on Thursday.
Cheers, Belgium!
