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

Played on Sunday: La Louviere 1-2 St-Truiden Anderlecht and Brugge are the only clubs with 9 points in 3 games.
NAC and Lorken 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.
Thank you for supporting us ! The next big challenge is the qualifying matches for Euro 2004.We'll receive Bulgaria in 2 weeks time. If you want informations about the belgian football visit: www.footbel.com

I remember supporters putting up banners with '100 years of history, 20 years of misery' when they were celebrating their centenary year in Liege, that about sums it up, they haven't had a decent season, in 20 years, allthough they were second and third a few times after, but nothing more then that.
