    probably been remarked on already, but not a single one of the Belgian starting 11 plays in Belgium. Unfortunately the distinctly average FIFA app does not extend to details of players beyond the 11. How many in the 23 play in Belgium? Byl?

    Did all of the English squad play in England ? I guess they did. How does it work for other teams and more importantly what does it mean ?

    22/23 of our squad play in England and Forster in Scotland for Celtic. All 23 of Russia's play in Russia.

    Our players are overrated and over paid.

    Van den Borre (Anderlecht), Laurent Ciman (from our very own Standard Liege) & Sammy Bossut (Zulte-Waregem).

    problem here is that clubs in the belgian pro league have so little money compared to some other leagues that everytime a player gives two good passes in a row in a game, he is bought by a foreign club ;)

    the financial rules on clubs here are very strict since a couple of years after a few clubs went bankrupt, so basicly most club survive financially by selling their best players time and time again, usually to foreign clubs.
