Belgium fans take detour to meet Boys in Green at Euro 2016

Despite the promise of a meet-up with the Red Devils of Belgium, it turned out to be more of a gathering with the Red Dragons, for the first half at least.

Word had emerged via the You Boys In Green supporter forum that a group of Belgian fans were meeting to watch the England-Wales match with the Irish at the Brasserie des Marquises in Arcachon, the base for many supporters 60km outside Bordeaux.

As the first half rolled on, however, the only red jerseys amid the large Irish contingent were on Welsh fans who had stayed on in the seaside town following their clash with Slovakia in Bordeaux last Saturday.
