In his apartment, while waiting for Doortje to come home, Pico watches the 1990 FIFA World Cup qualifier Portugal vs Belgium played at the Stadio da Luz in Lisbon. A 1-1 draw on 15 February 1989, legendary Belgian commentator Rik de Saedeleer lists some players eg Portuguese defender and captain Joao [Domingos da Silva] Pinto and Belgians Vincenzo Scifo and Marc Degryse.
The only time family of Pico (Walter Michiels) is mentioned, being his mother who remains unnamed. He reminds Doortje (Ann Tuts) of having dinner at his mother's. Another fact, Oscar's yellow T-shirt is worn by Pico in second season's Bieke's auto (1991).
In the first scene, Ann Tuts wears the men's soccer kit. Whilst Tuts's character Doortje desperately wants some attention from her husband Pico (Walter Michiels), he is too focused on preparing for a soccer game. This title is the only time she wears the kit. Transfer (1990) it is An Swartenbroekx's turn, as Bieke. Like Tuts, she wore the kit only once.
