Rioters have started fires and pelted cars with bricks in Brussels following Belgium's shock 2-0 loss to Morocco at the World Cup.
Police had to seal off parts of the city centre, deployed water cannons and fired tear gas to disperse crowds as violence broke out following the match.
Dozens of rioters set steps on fire and pelted cars with bricks, before police moved in when one person suffered facial injuries, according to a police spokesperson.

Soccer is such a boring game, but somehow it compels its fans to riot. Give me the NFL and American college football any day over this game. As a comparison I didn’t hear of any riots or injuries occurring in either Columbus, OH or Ann Arbor, MI following the Michigan/Ohio State game.
Visited Belgium back in 1974. Beautiful nation, Europe was so nice in 74... Amsterdam, for a 15 year old boy was interesting. Of course, my friends from school (we were on a school trip) and I got in trouble. (We were supposed to be in Paris, but we took off and saw Europe.)
Post 22 correction: “Poirot” is the correct spelling for the Belgium detective. Poor spelling review before posting on my part!
Worse than LA when Lakers play.
European footsyball? Has the US won or lost any games yet?
Still better than that boring ass game with an hour of play and two hours of commercials with dudes in tight pants banging into eachother and putting their hands under another man’s balls.
No ... or from Flemland, for that matter.
The US has played World Cup games three times against England and has never lost (won in 1950 and tied in 2010 and 2022).
The first city in Europe I was ever in was Brussels (back before the large-scale influx of Middle Easterners). It seemed like an unfriendly place, but after I had traveled around Europe it didn't seem as bad as some other cities.
I once had a conversation with an American university professor who told me of his experience in Brussels some years ago. He unwisely took a shortcut through a Muslim neighborhood and was lucky to escape with his life. I don't know whether they were Moroccans, Algerians, or a mix of several nationalities.
Will the riots reverse the judges’ decision?
Dumbass Belgians.
Also blocks.
That’s why Holland invited them in.
Gek Holland.
They’ll rape and pillage. Islam is a religion of peace.
Just ask Bush.
>>White people are the source of all evil.<<
That’s why all non-whites flee to white countries until Apocalypse takes place.
Violence broke out following the match.
That happens all the time here in LA some people have zero self control guess it why we have so many road rage shootings maggots the lot of them.
Bekgians invented “petat friet”
Big business.
The Belchers need to call Sweden and learn how to throw the 3M bastards out.
Holland and Belgium were nice countries to visit in the 60’s when they were the Benelux. The shit started piling up thereafter with the Wirtschaftwunder and the import of foreign labor(from muzzie countries)
America beware!!
But I am too late with my warning.
