Goor Bart
Did you Know?
He was part of Belgium as one of the two host nations alongside the Netherlands at Euro 2000, but despite the victory in the opening game of tournament against Sweden, in which Goor scored the opening goal, the Belgians crashed out in disappointing style in front of their own fans at the hands of Turkey.

Match Worn Shirt
Carrasco Yannick
Did you Know?
This shirt was worn by Yannick Carrasco during the “Euro 2020” quarter-final game between Italy and Belgium which took place in Munich, “Allianz Arena”, on July 2nd 2021. Carrasco was a bench player during the match and at the end of the game he swapped his shirt with an Italy player whom we got it from. Italy set up the semi-final match with Spain after edging an exhilarating tie the game with Belgium. All three goals in the Azzurri’s 2-1 came in the first half, with brilliant strikes from Nicolo Barella and Lorenzo Insigne opening up a two-goal lead. However, the deficit was halved just moments later after Romelu Lukaku converted from the penalty spot following a clumsy foul from Giovanni Di Lorenzo on teenager Jeremy Doku, who was a standout performer among some of the Belgium’s more established stars. Lukaku had two great opportunities to equalize in the second half, but some last-gasp Italian defending prevented the Inter Milan forward from getting a clean look at goal. Italy played with its back to the wall for much of the game, but Belgium’s lack of cutting edge up front meant that its veteran central defensive pairing of Giorgio Chiellini and Leonardo Bonucci was rarely troubled.
