As I recall, we went there in 2001 the year after England had beaten Germany 1-0 in the European Cup. We knew nothing of football and it took a while for us to discover why we were treated like outcasts.
We were ignored in a bar so asked the barman what the problem was and he showed us some pictures of the aftermath and quite frankly, I don't blame him for feeling the way he did. We only stayed 2 days out of a planned week and fortunately we were travelling free so hadn't paid for hotels in advance. We caught a train to France and had a great time after that but the experience left me with no intention of ever returning the Belgium.
