Belgian Wrap: Anderlecht & Club Bruges Take Control

It all started wrong for Genk and Standard, it was almost too easy for Anderlecht and Bruges. The Belgian League first matchday of the season produced astonishing results but also confirmed the Brussels and Flanders giants are ready to challenge for the title again...

SoccerAge (http://www.soccerage.com/en/13/g7428.html)Belgian Report: Anderlecht Do It Again Vs. Standard

Anderlecht kept their lengthy away record against rivals Standard untarnished for the 16th year in a row after seeing them off in Sclessin on Saturday afternoon.

Played on Sunday: La Louviere 1-2 St-Truiden

Anderlecht and Brugge are the only clubs with 9 points in 3 games.

[Red&Black]

Lokeren in Belgium is a "friendly" squad with NAC (Earnie Stewart's club in Holland). They support each other's squads (their hools even fight side-by-side). Just thought I'd add a tidbit.

You're right Lokeren is a pleasnt team with good supporters.They should finish the championship among the top 7.They have made a good start this year.
