Hey gang, it's time again for your favorite minnow league (and mine), the Belgian Jupiler Pro League!!! These past few years have been a bit of a whirl, haven't they, with all this talent coming out of Belgian football like Witsel, De Bruyne, half of the EPL, But before we go on, let's say goodbye to the club that left us last year: Koninklijke Beerschot Antwerpen Club aka The Rats aka The Bears (were poo poo and, as it turned out, also bankrupt) THE JUPILER PRO LEAGUE IN ANTICIPATION OF THE BELGIANS BEING AT THE WORLD CUP HOPEFULLY MAYBE, I DON'T THINK ANYONE CARES ABOUT THIS Royal Sporting Club Anderlecht aka Sporting aka mauves et blancs/paarswit (purple and white) ~~DEFENDING LEAGUE CHAMPION~~ What did these scrubs accomplish? Nationwide: This team is basically the juggernaut of Belgian football, they've been League champion for a whopping 32times. Their longest streak is five wins from 63-64 to 67-68. They haven't been relegated since 1935. They've won the Belgian Cup 9 times, their longest streak being four wins from 71-72 to 75-76.

They've won two editions of the Bruges Matins, beating Club Brugge twice. International: Anderlecht are the most succesful Belgian team in Europe, winning: -The European Cup Winners' Cup twice by beating West Ham United in 1976 and Austria Wien in 1978. -The UEFA Cup by beating Benfica in 1983. -The UEFA Supercup twice by beating Bayern Munchen in 1976 and Liverpool in 1978. 2012-13: Saw the other clubs gently caress up and fumbled their way into the championship, they missed all their penalties and that's about the only worthwhile thing about their season last year.

But what's that Standard are up against on Thursday? A Knattspyrnufélag Reykjavíkur aka KR-ingar The club's name is Icelandic for Reykjavik Football Club. So it's obvious that this club is based in Reykjavik, Iceland. It's the last Icelandic club of current Club Brugge striker Eidur Gudjohnsen before he left for England. They've won 25 Icelandic league titles, making them the most succesful club in Iceland. They've also won 13 cups, 5 league cups and 3 supercups. Internationally they've never gone past the qualifying rounds of European tournaments. 2012: 4th in the Urvalsdeild, winner of the 2012 Icelandic Cup and the 2012 Deildabikar, winner of the Icelandic Supercup (as league champion and cup winner). Previous opponents in the EL: Glentoran FC (Northern Ireland)

oliwan posted:Yeah I was wondering if there's a Flemish equivalent, because flemish tv is usually so much better than dutch tv. But you do get dutch channels then? (we get een and canvas on a standard subscription) We've got Extra Time on Canvas, but it's p gash. The few times I got parts of La Tribune on RTBF it was way better. We only get the three Nederland channels but RTL XL was open for all of Europe back when I checked out VI.
