After Belgium blew out the Netherlands on Saturday night, Emma Meesseman posted this photo of her and her grandfather on Instagram earlier Sunday morning:
Meesseman’s post confirms that playing a game in Ieper meant a lot to her personally. When you add that Belgium played against the Netherlands, their arch rival and an opportunity to play at the gym she spent a lot of time at, it all makes sense.
Her 28 point performance against the Dutch may have been a message to some skeptics here in America who may insinuate that she’s not as committed to the WNBA.
