By Joshua Browne Domenico Tedesco has expressed confidence in striker Romelu Lukaku's ability to bounce back following a frustrating outing against Slovakia on Monday. Despite Lukaku finding the back of the net twice, the Red Devils suffered a 1-0 defeat in their Euro 2024 opener, as both of the 31-year-old's goals were ultimately ruled out by VAR. Ivan Schranz emerged as Slovakia's hero, expertly capitalising on a Koen Casteels parry in the seventh minute, while the match officials were seen as the villains for Belgium. First, Lukaku was ruled marginally offside when he thumped home Amadou On...

By Jack Gallagher Leandro Trossard's father has blamed Belgium manager Domenico Tedesco for his son's disappointing performance in the nation's Euro 2024 opener. Belgium were shockingly beaten 1-0 by Slovakia in their opening game of their Euro 2024 campaign, conceding a seventh minute goal to Ivan Schranz at Waldstadion in Frankfurt. Despite conceding early in the game, the Red Devils huffed and puffed in the final third and ultimately failed to convert any of their 16 efforts at goal. They also saw two goals chalked off after lengthy VAR checks. In the aftermath of such a disastrous defeat, ...

In Belgium prostitutes will soon have access to the same social rights as other employees, thanks to a law adopted in May 2024. The new rules allow them to sign job contracts with approved employers. It's an unprecedented effort to regulate the sector, but not everyone is convinced, as Euronews Witness reports. Previously, hostess bars and erotic massage parlors in Belgium operated in a legal gray area: sex workers were paid in cash or were employed under waitress contracts. It was considered an open door to abuse, according to supporters of the law. "It feels good to know what is legally allo...

Brewers in France are taking on traditionally beer-producing nations as French beer becomes more popular. Over the last ten years, French brewers have increased production due to growing sales in Belgium. This is especially true for some breweries located along the border. In the beer section of a Belgian hypermarket, one bottle stands out from the crowd. The beer is produced at the Baron Brewery in Gussignies, France, just a few kilometres from the border with Belgium. The brewers there learned their skills in Belgium before developing them in France. Now, these French beers can be found on t...

By Toby Cudworth Romelu Lukaku had two goals chalked off for infringements as Belgium slumped to a shock 1-0 defeat to Slovakia at Euro 2024 on Monday. A loose pass across his own penalty area from Manchester City's Jeremy Doku allowed Ivan Schranz to tee up Robert Bozenik, who saw his first-time shot parried away by Belgium goalkeeper Koen Casteels. But the ball fell kindly for Schranz, who was just played onside by Leicester City's Wout Faes, and he rifled home on the volley from an acute angle to put Slovakia ahead after seven minutes. Romelu Lukaku, who looks set to return to Chelsea this ...

The Red Devils secured their place at a third successive European Championship by defeating Austria 3-2 in October, marking a successful start to Domenico Tedesco's reign as manager.

With his exceptional talent and pivotal role in Belgium's setup, the midfielder shoulders a significant amount of pressure to lead his team to success. Here's 90min's guide f...

Belgium's king appointed Bart De Wever, the president of the Flemish-nationalist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA), to explore coalition possibilities. In a surprise result, De Wever's N-VA beat the far-right Vlaams Belang party in the EU elections last week, which means it remains Belgium's biggest political party. King Philippe met with De Wever on Wednesday afternoon who instructed him to "identify parties wishing to quickly form a stable coalition at the federal level." He will report back to the king in a week's time, on June 19th. Flemish nationalist parties dominated the elections as Prime Mi...
