Reprezentacja Haiti na oficjalnych koszulkach w których zagra na Mistrzostwach Świata umieściła POLSKĄ FLAGĘ!
To nie błąd projektanta ani przypadek – to wyjątkowy gest pełen szacunku, który porusza serce każdego Polaka. W 1802 roku Napoleon wysłał kilka tysięcy żołnierzy z Polskich Legionów na San Domingo (obecne Haiti), żeby zdławić tamtejsze powstanie niewolników. Polacy jednak wybrali inną drogę. Zamiast walczyć przeciwko walczącym o wolność, wielu z nich przeszło na stronę powstańców i stanęło do walki ramię w ramię z Haitańczykami przeciwko wojskom francuskim. Po zwycięstwie rewolucji i ogłoszeniu niepodległości w 1804 roku, pierwszy przywódca Haiti – Jean-Jacques Dessalines – oddał Polakom wielki hołd. Przyznał im pełne obywatelstwo, a w konstytucji nazwał ich „Białymi Murzynami Europy”. Były to słowa najwyższego uznania i braterstwa w tamtych czasach. Część polskich żołnierzy (ok. 400–500) została na wyspie na stałe, głównie w regionie Cazale, gdzie ich potomkowie mieszkają do dzisiaj. Dziś, ponad dwieście lat później, pamięć o polskiej odwadze i solidarności wciąż żyje na Haiti. Kiedy ich piłkarze wychodzą na murawę, niosą na piersi symbol naszej wspólnej historii – historii walki o wolność, która nie zna granic ani koloru skóry.
The amount of people on social media making fun of June being Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month is disturbing. I see videos from women mocking men even making jokes about the male suicide rate with one woman saying on a video, “I wish it was higher”. DISGUSTING.
Filistin bayrağı açan Lamine Yamal tüm İsrail’de protesto ediliyor, formaları yırtılıyor.
O halde biz de Yamal’a çok büyük destek verelim!
Yamal’ı sevenler bu tweeti beğensin ve paylaşsın 🇵🇸
When Paul Lambert left Motherwell for Borussia Dortmund in 1996, he did not even know if he had a club to go to.
He had no contract.
He had no agent.
And by the time he arrived in Germany, he had almost no money left either.
So Lambert told Dortmund’s general manager exactly where he stood.
“Motherwell don’t know I’m here.”
“They don’t have a clue where I am.”
“The other thing is I’ve run out of money as well.”
Dortmund gave him 200 Marks and a trial.
Within a few weeks, he was in their team.
Within a year, he was playing in a Champions League final against Juventus, marking Zinedine Zidane, and helping Dortmund become champions of Europe.
By then, everything had changed.
Juventus wanted him.
Franz Beckenbauer asked if he would be interested in Bayern Munich.
But Lambert wanted to stay at Dortmund.
“I had everything at Dortmund.”
Then his son became ill again.
Lambert and his wife had first seen it when he was a baby in Glasgow.
He had a temperature, they brought him into bed, and then his arm went limp.
Lambert picked him up.
Then his head flopped.
“I was shaking him, but there was nothing there.”
He recovered, but the doctors told them it could happen again for years.
And after the Champions League final in 1997, it did.
That was when Lambert and his wife knew they had to go back to Scotland.
Not because he wanted to leave Dortmund.
But because they needed to be near family.
Dortmund did not want him to go.
Before a Champions League game against Parma, the supporters made that clear.
Banners went up around the ground.
“Paul, don’t go.”
“Thank you, Paul.”
Then they started singing his name.
“Paul Lambert, You’ll Never Walk Alone.”
After the game, the club asked him to do a lap of honour.
Lambert got as far as the Yellow Wall, saw people crying, and had to go back down the tunnel.
Dortmund asked him one last time.
“Paul, we’re going to ask you again.”
“Don’t go.”
But his mind was made up.
He went home and signed for Celtic.
And within months, Lambert had gone from winning the Champions League with Dortmund to helping Celtic stop Rangers winning ten in a row.
“My football career is mad, isn’t it?”
“It is real fairytale stuff.”
