  1. Belgium should just split up with everyone rejoining their linguistic compatriots, really.

  2. I think a better idea would be if Belgium split up and everyone rejoined their linguistic compatriots. Then the Eredivise should create a Nordzee Premier League with the Scottish Premier League. Now that's a league that would be exciting to watch.

  3. Belgium should just split with everyone rejoining their linguistic compatriots. And then the Eridivisie should join with the Scottish Premier League to strengthen both nations. Call it the Nordzee/North sea league or something.

  4. Or the three nations could create that league.

  5.  @aidygooner  TBH, Switzerland makes some sense, knowing the history. And I guess you could say the same for Belgium(interestingly I just watched a brief history of Belgium before seeing this video). But as a kiwi with Dutch ancestry, and a bent towards enlightenment, I see the way Belgium was formed as somewhere halfway between the antiquated monarchist ways and aspirational democracy. But the monarchism tarnishes it for me, and I'd rather see the Netherlands be the whole Dutch speaking region, including Dunkirk which I think the French should give back to the Dutch in the event Belgium does split, or it should become a city state like you say of Brussels. Although I think Brussels should just be part of Flanders/the Nederlands more than a city state, with the French speaking people migrating south. Which I imagine, but may be wrong, would make some sense as I imagine a lot of the French speaking people in Brussels are there as government representatives and workers representing Wallonia. as the French being spoken in Dunkirk is a little bit more organic, as it's directly on the border of the linguistic regions. But you might be able to tell me how right or wrong I am about that assumption? Also, is Gooner your surname, or are you an Arsenal supporter?
