  1. Question to our fellow Belgian readers: Do most top-level officials come from the Flemish part of Belgium?

    And are there ever mixed (Flemish/Walloon) teams?

    I could probably ask the same question to Swiss readers.

    1. In Switzerland, there are referees from the german speaking, the French speaking and the Italian speaking part in the highest league. And yes, they are often mixed, since most of the Swiss people speak and understand a second national language besides their mother tongue at least a little bit.

  2. Kolarić with a good appointment, given the rest of names. If he does well, he probably would have reasons to hope for a good season in UEFA competitions.
