Commuters on the Brussels metro were forced to listen to the French football team’s anthem after the company that runs the transport system lost a bet.
The Brussels public transport authority (STIB) was challenged by its Paris counterpart ahead of Tuesday’s World Cup match between France and Belgium.
In the event that Belgium won, Paris agreed to change signs at one of its stations to honour a Belgian player.
However, Belgium lost 1-0, and so STIB had to play the anthem at its station.
“A bet is a bet,” were the words tweeted from the official STIB Twitter account following the match.
