@DavidStandeven@The_Davos_Man Just because we speak Dutch in Flanders doesn't mean we're Dutch. No Belgian of Dutchman will ever claim something like that.
@TheLankyAndy@PatMcAfeeShow Americans are relatively new to this game, but act like they already have the authority to change the rules. How would Americans react if another country started demanding changes to the rules of American football?
🗣️| 🇧🇪 Thibaut Courtois:
"For us, the presence of Folarin Balogun doesn't change much. These are matters for the RBFA. But we were surprised that it was decided the day before the match. We have to win the match on the field.
We talked about it (the statement by RBFA) for 5 minutes as a group. But we all said that with or without Folarin Balogun, we had to win, focus on ourselves."

@ABC All Americans commenting I should cry harder, not realizing that is precisely what their president did to overturn Balogun's red card: priceless 😂
BREAKING:
An eyewitness has told the Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet what happened when Swedish football fan Christian Zedig was stomped to death by an African gang while watching the Norway - Ivory Coast game at a fan zone in Copenhagen:
“A group of 7 or 8 young men arrived at the square during the match.
It was completely clear that they had only come to cause trouble. They weren’t there to watch football”
According to the eyewitness, the young men waved to the Norwegian and Swedish fans who were present when Ivory Coast equalized to 1-1.
“When Norway scored the 2-1 winner, the Swedes and Norwegians responded, but with only half the intensity of the other group”
“Then the young guys started throwing beer and other things at the Scandinavians and started assaulting them. Suddenly a fight broke out, when the young men ran over to the table next to them and began beating the Norwegian and Swedish fans.”
The situation then escalated quickly, the witness explains.
“One of the young men – a big guy – swung a fist at the head of a man in a Swedish national team jersey, who immediately fell to the floor.
After that, several of the other members of the gang ran over and stomped him several times on the head him while he was lying on the ground. They then quickly fled the scene”
To summarize, African supporters of Ivory Coast taunted Swedish and Norwegian fans after the African team scored. When the Scandinavians responded the same way after Norway scored the winner, they were assaulted by the Africans, with one of the Swedish being stomped to death while unconscious after taking a powerful punch to the head.
This is Europe in 2026. People can’t even watch the World Cup in peace in their home countries.
We don’t have to live like this…
@jvluijmans Hebt u daar aanwijzingen voor dat dit volledig arbitrair zal gebeuren? In principe mag het toch niet zo moeilijk zijn om die schijnzelfstandigen te identificeren...
@thomas_spaas Meerwaarde wegbelasten om inactiviteit en profitariaat in stand te kunnen houden.
Dat is de Europese aanpak die vreemd genoeg vooral profiteurs lijkt aan te trekken ipv ondernemers en investeerders...
