“The Dutch have put us back on the ground”

B9727200764Z.1 20210530192923 000G3SI7SRRL.3 0 - "The Dutch have put us back on the ground" - I am very rational and realistic, and I share this idea. I think it's not bad to have taken a slap like this: the Dutch put us back on the ground in a way. And confronted us with this reality: today everyone wants to beat us. And they probably even more than some others. They got up on the pitch angry, remembering that we had beaten them in the semi-finals in Rio, then in the World Cup final, and again in this Pro League. They were angry. We were like that before Rio too. We wanted to beat everyone and some teams maybe still underestimated us at the time. Today, that is no longer the case, and we felt it pass. It's up to us to react

The match was certainly without a stake, since even before entering the Wilrijkseplein in Antwerp on Sunday afternoon, the Red Lions had already won the second edition of the Pro League. Nevertheless, a confrontation between Belgium and the Netherlands is never trivial, except that the Red Lions have visibly approached it with much less determination and […]

Panthers stride to encouraging progress

B9727054008Z.1 20210516202549 000GF1I50NKF.2 0 - Panthers stride to encouraging progress - After their conclusive victory on Saturday in their first duel (3-0), the Panthers have returned to cover against the 15th nation in the world. A third success in the Pro League which allows Belgian players to confirm their good form three weeks before the start of the European Championship which will take place in Amsterdam at the beginning of June. The start of the meeting was sluggish, however. Belgian domination was sterile and the Americans did not seem able to offer much better than the day before. However, they inherited the first opportunity of the meeting in the 10th minute but Laura Hurff's sleep was well repelled by Elodie Picard.

Belgium won a second success against the United States (6-1). Although there is still work to be done before the Euro, the progress is very encouraging. After their conclusive victory on Saturday in their first duel (3-0), the Panthers have returned to cover against the 15th nation in the world. A third success in the Pro League […]

In contrast, Die Danas will be disappointed having won 3-2 just twenty-four hours earlier. Great Britain made one change, Amy […]
