[Laly]

They were already world champions and now, Olympic champions. Where do they pass best? What are their phenotypes?

[XenophobicPrussian]

"Borreby heartland" according to Septenrion.

Very diverse group, important area of the crossroads between Germanic, Celtic and Roman.

[CommonSense]

Septentrion on suicide watch right now.

[Satem]

I see some Faelid, Atlantid, North Atlantid, Keltic Nordid, Dinarid and Borreby elemtents in this set of players

Dunno if that's just me but Cédric Charlier looks kinda Eastern European to me(at least basing on the pictures in this thread)

What do you mean, if I may ask?

[Creoda]

Pass best as French as a group. 4 or 5 perhaps look more Dutch/German.

[Cristiano viejo]

Much more Med than what Septentrion wishes.

[CommonSense]

I suppose you're not familar with that user and the agenda he's been spreading. Perhaps that's a blessing.

For years he's been trying to portray Belgium as some Celtic-Borreby enclave where the people are surpassed in paleness only by the Brits. As you can see, this team of atheletes is a far cry from that description. So it's no surprise Septentrion hasn't shown his face in the thread so far :biggrin:

He's delusional. If anything, it's alpinid influence that peaks in and around Belgium, not borreby for sure. And yeah, they have sizeable atlanto-med influence too.
They're not much lighter than Swiss IMO. I always found Belgian and Swiss people pretty similar.
