Where do these Belgian (mostly Flemish) footballers pass best?

[Rico33]

It's mostly 80s and 90s players, when Belgium was last a decent team.

Their hair hides the skull shapes, though.

They look more alien to me than any other, in a sense I think I know what is typical face for other nations, but for Belgians....really hard to say.

Its the Gaulish blood

A really high number are passable as french, even the lightest one (as Northern French).

I know they're not genetically very distinct, but I still just consider Flemings to be the most Southern Dutch, and Walloons the most Northern French. The Belgian on this thread will protest at that but that's how I see it.

Well genetically we are more homogeneous than Dutch and French. The Dutch have a genetic border with the Rhine and in France there are probably many regional differences. The most distinct area from others in Belgium, genetically, seems to be the province of Antwerp, as far as I can interpret genetic maps (correct me if I am wrong).
I also think we cluster with Northern/Eastern France and Southwest Germany.

Yves Vanderhaeghe looks like John Cleese.

The way I've come to see it, NW Europeans are so genetically similar anyway that cultural affiliations can just about override inconsistencies in the genetic picture.

[dududud]

NW Euro (I include France) countries, some can pass as Iberian like him :



Or even balkanite ? :

Both looks Northern Frog like my father.

[xtal]

Were they good players? that’s the question!

[Septentrion]

In order, of France, Netherlands, England or Germany?

And in which country does each individual pass best?
