LEAST WE FORGET: Belgium beat Germany in the 2007 EuroHockey Championship...
“The 2007 EuroHockey Nations Championship for men is the 11th edition of EuroHockey Nations Championship. It was held in Manchester, England from August 19 to August 26, 2007. Netherlands defeated Spain to win their third title, while Belgium upset Germany to secure the last automatic berth for 2008 Summer Olympic Games.”
