Good monday, dear hoddlers.
Your hoddler-in-chief woke up on Sunday morning to the biggest match of the year: Anderlecht vs Antwerp.
This Belgian matchup featured the clubs of two modern-day Tottenham icons in Jan Vertonghen and Toby Alderweireld. Only that neither of them were playing!
Fear not, though, Tottenham ledge Vincent Janssen was also featured in this exhilerating 0-0 draw.
Don’t let the score fool you. This match had little repercussions. Anderlecht are currently fourth in the Belgian Jupiler league with 26 pinits in the champions round, and Antwerp are sixth with 24.
Well ahead of them both is Club Brugge with 42 points, and Genk and Union SG level at 40 points.
But who cares. Because this is Belgian football. And we at hoddle headquarters love Belgian football.
