This picture means something to an entire generation of Dutch people.

I'm one of them.

My parents came to Holland as Moroccan immigrants.
I was born there.

Dutch passport.
Dutch better than my Arabic.
The first 18 years of my life, Holland fed me, schooled me, raised me.

The Moroccans helped rebuild Holland.
Holland gave them roads, schools, a future in return.

Fair trade.

But we never really integrated.

That's not on one side.
That's on everyone.

We learned to speak for our grandparents, because they never got to learn the language.
We brought our food.
We brought our culture. Mosques. Books and humor.

We had fun.
We hung out.
We went to each other's weddings and loved the mix of it.

And still.
We never really became one.

The politicians made sure to categorize us.
They needed us to be outsiders, while we were busy acting like insiders.

So a wall went up between neighbors.

Then yesterday a silly game with a ball put two teams on the same grass.
Two continents.
Two cultures.

Except they're not two teams.

They're teams stitched together by the same life.

The Dutch know the Moroccans. Intimately.
The Moroccans know the Dutch. Intimately.

The Moroccans in Morocco spend every summer selling to the Moroccans from Holland.

The Dutch spend every day next to Moroccans. In School. At The local butcher. The streets.

The Moroccan team is full of Moroccans carrying Dutch passports.

The Dutch team is full of their actual friends, neighbors, and colleagues.

Such a simple game.
Such a complicated story.

When I look at this image I don't see football.

I see high school.
I see pride.
I see distance.
I don't see compassion.
I see resentment.

And that's exactly how we lived in beautiful Holland.

Together. Happily.
And quietly, unconsciously, apart.

I left when I was 18.
I went back to Morocco.

I resented Holland.
For years it was me vs them.

Now I understand what I actually have.

I can read two cultures from the inside.

And I get to choose.
What I carry with me.
What I leave behind.

Because every culture has its gold.
And every culture has its rot.

The trick is knowing which is which.

Love. Be kind to each other.

[Jude Heavenly 🇳🇬🇱🇷 @JudeHeavenly]

🚨 Carlo Ancelotti on why he did not celebrate wildly after Gabriel Martinelli’s late winner for Brazil against Japan:

🗣️ “People asked me why I didn’t celebrate, but football is also about respect. Yes, we were happy to win, but I looked across and saw a Japanese team that had given absolutely everything. They fought with incredible courage, and I know exactly how painful a defeat like that can be.”

“Of course I celebrated inside because my responsibility is to Brazil and qualifying was our objective. But I’ve been in football for many years, and I’ve experienced both victory and heartbreak. Sometimes the best way to respect your opponent is to remain humble in your biggest moments.”

“Japan made us suffer for ninety-five minutes. They deserved our respect, not exaggerated celebrations. Brazil are through, but we know we must improve. Tonight we celebrate the qualification, but tomorrow we go back to work because the World Cup only gets more difficult from here.”

Carlo Ancelotti is a legend

🚨 Lothar Matthäus on Germany crashing out of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after defeat to Paraguay:

🗣️ “I am absolutely furious. This is not the Germany I know, and it’s certainly not the Germany I fought for. To be eliminated from the World Cup like this is unacceptable. Every player, every coach and every person involved with this team has to look in the mirror after tonight because this performance was nowhere near the standards expected of Germany.”

“You cannot wear the Germany shirt and play with so little urgency, so little aggression and so little belief. Paraguay fought for every ball like their lives depended on it, while Germany looked nervous, passive and completely out of ideas when the pressure arrived. We had enough quality to win this match, but football isn’t won by talent alone. It’s won by character, mentality and the willingness to suffer for your country.”

“I don’t want to hear excuses about bad luck, referees or penalties. Champions don’t hide behind excuses—they take responsibility. This defeat should hurt for a very long time because it was completely avoidable. Germany have let an entire nation down tonight. Credit to Paraguay, they deserved every second of this victory because they showed courage, discipline and heart. Germany forgot what it truly means to fight for this badge, and for me, that is the most painful part of all.”

Some of these stadiums normally use artificial turf, but FIFA requires World Cup matches to be played on natural grass.

McDonald's loses lawsuit against chef Jamie Oliver, who proved that the food they sell is unfit for human consumption because it is highly toxic.

Chef Jamie Oliver won a lawsuit against the world's largest fast-food chain.
Oliver demonstrates how hamburgers are made.

According to Oliver, fatty cuts of meat are "washed" with ammonium hydroxide and then used to fill the hamburger patties. Even before this process, the TV presenter says, this meat was unfit for human consumption.

Oliver, a radical activist chef taking on the food industry, says:

"We are talking about meat that is sold as dog food and then served to humans. Aside from the quality of the meat, ammonium hydroxide is harmful to health." Oliver calls it "the pink slime process."

What sane person would put a piece of meat soaked in ammonium hydroxide into a child's mouth?

In another initiative, Oliver demonstrated how chicken nuggets are made: After the "best parts" are selected, the rest—fat, skin, cartilage, eyes, bones, head, feet—is subjected to a mechanical separation process called "Canica"—a euphemism used by food engineers. This blood-pink paste, which is deodorized, bleached, refreshed, and re-colored, is then coated in flour and deep-fried. It is typically fried in partially hydrogenated oils—in other words, toxic substances.

The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an antimicrobial agent, allowing McDonald's to use meat in its hamburgers that is unfit for human consumption. Even more alarming, however, is the fact that these ammonium-hydrogen-based substances are considered "legal components of the production process" in the global food industry, with the approval of health authorities. Consequently, consumers will never know what substances are in their food.

Please stop giving this fake food to your children.
