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...
