Since the bitter defeat in the semi-finals of the World Cup against the Blues, Belgium dreamed of settling a small dispute with France.
This is partly achieved since Monday evening with the elimination of the France team against Switzerland in the round of 16 of the Euro (3-3, 5 tab to 4).
Of course, it was not the Red Devils who overwhelmed Didier Deschamps' men, but the elimination of the Tricolores was enough for the happiness of the Belgians (who also saw one of the big favorites bite the dust early in the competition).

On social networks too, our neighbors have not hesitated to chamber French Internet users with a privileged target: the columnist of the program "L'Equipe du Soir", Gilles Favard. A few weeks ago, the latter had considered that the Belgian selection had "the ball". "They will quickly go home to eat fries," continued mocking Favard, who immediately took a flight of green wood on social networks. Olivier Ménard, the presenter of the show, had even been forced to deflate the controversy by apologizing to Belgian viewers. The columnist had the right to a second round of acid comments from across Quievrain shortly before midnight.
