It is precisely because of that group feeling that the performances of the Red Devils influence our self-image. “Our self-image is not only formed by who we are as individuals, but also which groups we belong to, and how well those groups are doing,” says Professor Boen.
“If the Red Devils win, and you identify with Belgium, you automatically feel better.” But that also applies in the opposite direction. “In that sense, the feeling of disappointment is not only present because of what happened to the Red Devils, but also because of what happened to yourself. Your own self-image is, as it were, temporarily lowered.”
