I can’t think of anything more disgusting than a Belgian.

"Oh man! Swutting Belgium!"

I’d say the Beerschoters had a few too many beers.

what have Belgians contributed to society besides waffles and surrender?

Pommes frites a.k.a. French fries (no, really).

The Japanese goal keeper was the only Japanese on the field, playing for a Belgian team.

American soccer player Beasley was even taunted with hangman’s nooses playing for the Rangers in Glasgow. Same thing happened in France to some players. That’s why our ancestors left Europe..
