We watched the World Cup final at the longest bar in Europe, also called the “Oude Markt” in Leuven.
The Oude Markt is a small square right in the city center that consists of one bar after the other. It was funny to see TV after TV, all tuned in to the World Cup.
People were also standing in the middle of the square, watching the match on a large TV atop one of the buildings.
We were surprised that the Leuven fans seemed to be cheering for Argentina, rather than their neighbor France.
Regardless, it was fun to watch soccer in a place where everyone is SO into it.
Brev and I said that when the next World Cup rolls around in 2026, who knows where we will be, but we will always remember watching this final match in Belgium.
