How do you think Belgium compares to Scotland?

They are very similar because: -

+only 1 or 2 teams who will win the league
+several teams with big reputations & history but who fail in Europe
+too many foreign players
+national teams have suffered as a result
+over-shadowed by a bigger neighbour

BTW I've drawn this conclusion having managed Anderlecht in Championship Manager once. :)

Well you have at least three teams in Belgium
Anderlecht, Club Brugge, and Gent can and have won the league.

Too many foreign players - good point, league needs more Yanks.

National team: On the rise, with several young stars coming up. Timmy Simons and Thomas Buffel come to mind.

BTW, I've managed Anderlecht for two seasons now, one league title, one Belgian cup.
