It seems there's an inordinate amount of Italian-born newgens coming through Belgian academies.
I'm talking right across all the Belgian leagues in multiple saves (I like playing in Belgium) - even clubs without Italian staff have Italian kids (usually Belgian with Italian as second nationality) coming through their youth system.
I understand the high numbers of African kids (especially from the Congo) and even the odd French or (rarely) Dutch youth player but it surprises me that there are so many Italians.
Does Belgium have a large Italian community or something? Anyone here from Belgium who can verify this?
Most of them came in the '50s and 60's to work in the Belgian coalmines. There was even an agreement between the Italian and Belgian gouvernement to facilitate the migration.
