Belgium is, after all, the country that gave us Belgian waffles (or wafels)...
Belgian chocolate...
Belgian beer...
And moules-frites...
Or what is known in my house as the four basic food groups.
The dilemma: Are we Americans being disloyal if we imbibe Belgian beer with our moule-frites, or anxiously pop Beglian chocolates into our mouths, while watching the World Cup? And if the Belgium National Football Team knocks out Team USA in this afternoon's knockout round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, do we show our solidarity with our beloved American footballers (aka the US soccer team) and boycott Belgian products? And if so, for how long?

1) Yes. Grab a burger and fries, a Hershey bar (OK, fine, Ghirardelli, much better) and some IPA. Or you could actually have a Belgian waffle since they're only barely Belgian.
2) Yes.
3) Boycott to last for the duration of the World Cup.
You're welcome!
