Delphine, Maximus and Van Himst: the Duivels‑prono for Spain‑Belgium

The supercomputer predicts a bleak outlook for Belgium, and the bookmakers agree; Spain are the clear favourites to eliminate the Red Devils from the World Cup and claim a semi‑final berth. In a whimsical Duivels‑prono, Princess Delphine, her cat Maximus, former star Paul Van Himst and journalist Jef Vermassen each offered their own forecast for the Spain‑Belgium clash. Despite the data‑driven optimism of modern analysis, the commentators stress that football is not decided on statistics alone. They argue that on‑field dynamics can overturn even the most sophisticated models. To gauge public sentiment, the survey reached out to a handful of politicians and well‑known Vlamingen. Their responses formed the basis of the colourful Duivels‑prono that features Princess Delphine, Maximus, Paul Van Himst and Jef Vermassen.
