I am friends with one Belgian guy in real life. Super cool person and really friendly. But he agrees with me when I say that Belgium, like most of the rest of Europe, is declining and will quite possibly be at it's last breath when the middle of this century rolls around. European history and culture that is.

The only thing that Belgium is good for now is producing world-class soccer (or football as you Europeans call it) stars.

Eden Hazard + Chelsea FC= WIN!

City going down to Chelsea this year, mark my words lol.

Oh and you guys also make one mean cool ale :)

But you ain't worried about any of the other gloomy stuff? I hate to sound like a cynic but the future don't look too bright for Belgium and the rest of Europe.

I know. Belgium is still doing pretty well. Spain, Ireland, Portugal, Italy, .. Those countries are in serious problems and yes on the long term this will probably affect Belgium/Germany/France/Holland/ ...

As long as Angela Merkel keeps saying no to Euro-obligations or no to support of the European Central Bank, we are fucked. She wants Germany to remain THE top economy of Europe but she doesn't care about other EU-countries. I can't stand her. I hope she realizes she needs us (the other EU-countries).

Oh o_O We're talking about completely different things here. I wasn't suggesting anything EURO-bank related. That may be your most immediate problem but long term, you got other things to worry about.

I think the bad economy is Belgium's biggest problem at the moment :)
