Red Devil-themed Jupiler beer cans<\/a>, football-shaped Leonidas chocolates<\/a> and sticker collectables at the Delhaize supermarket<\/a> \u2014 Belgium is all on its World Cup run.<\/p>\n Even the country\u2019s flag carrier, Brussels Airlines, has gotten in on the act.<\/p>\n In a tongue-in-cheek gesture, Brussels Airlines is flying its Trident aircraft, painted in the colors and bearing the emblems of Belgium’s national football teams, to Spanish destinations including Madrid and Barcelona ahead of Friday’s World Cup quarterfinal between Belgium and Spain.<\/p>\n Asked about the move, Brussels Airlines declined to elaborate, saying via email: “We did not provide any comments, as we think the joke speaks for itself :).”<\/p>\n The specially designed aircraft features a trident in reference to the Red Devils, Belgium’s men’s national football team, alongside flames representing the women’s team, the Red Flames.<\/p>\n According to Brussels Airlines, the design was intended to highlight both teams because “it’s high time that the women’s team gets as much attention as the men’s team.”<\/p>\n Iberia, Spain’s national airline, also has a specially designed aircraft that flew the country’s national football team across the Atlantic. Instead of tridents and flames, it features an image of Spain’s squad alongside the slogan: “A team takes off. A country flies.”<\/p>\n
