Many Dutch people say they are cheering for Belgium, how about EUR students? And do they really want Belgium to win the world cup before the Netherlands, or are there limits to their loyalty towards our southern neighbors? Reporter Cameron Wylie spoke to Dutch and Flemish EUR students in the run-up to the match against Panama.
The big dilemma: joy or jealousy towards Belgium at the World Cup?
Everyone in the Netherlands would be behind Belgium (and / or Morocco) during this World Cup, the story goes. But how far reaches the loyalty towards our southern neighbors, now that the first match of Belgium is on?
Newsflash: The Netherlands does not participate in the World Cup in Russia. Neighboring Belgium on the other hand does, and according to the experts, even belongs to the favorites. The Red Devils played their first game against Panama on Monday evening.
