Belgium Red Devils receive hero’s welcome
The end of Belgium's World Cup dream did not discourage some 40,000 Red Devils fans from celebrating the return of their team from Russia Sunday (July 15) in the country's capital Brussels. After hours of waiting, the team, who came third in the competition, showed up at the balcony of the city's town hall on Brussels' landmark the Grand Place, where they were greeted by 8,000 soccer enthusiasts, most of them dressed in Belgium's national colors.
Belgium beat Panama, Tunisia and England in the opening round, staged a dramatic comeback against Japan in the last-16 and fought past Brazil in the quarter-finals. Their dreams of World Cup glory, however, were shattered by France in the semi-finals, but another win against England Saturday sealed third place. #yadugamingtechandmedia
