@BelgiumTouch Never change a wining team. Mais Rudi continue à faire des expérimentations. Il ne voit pas quand un joueur n’est pas en forme et n’écoute pas ses joueurs. D’accord, il mérite une nouvelle chance : il a payé le prix de son apprentissage.

@BelRedDevils Bye bye USA en met verve

[R. Joosen @M_idas]

@MacAlgoTrader The only smart and fair decision—and the one that would send a positive message about honesty and sportsmanship—would be for the US 🇺🇸 coach not to put Folarin Balogun back on the pitch during the match against Belgium 🇧🇪 after his red card.

‼️🇺🇲🇷🇺🇵🇱 BIG | Russia is preparing for a large-scale military provocation, which could take place against Poland or one of the Baltic states.

The US has warned Poland that the Russian Federation is preparing an armed provocation in the coming months, The Telegraph and the Polish publication Onet report, citing intelligence services.

Russia's target could be Poland's critical infrastructure via missiles and drones, or Russian soldiers might cross the border into NATO territory.
Washington has already sent several warnings to Warsaw about this plot, sources close to Polish President Karol Nawrocki told the Polish news outlet Onet, which, along with The Telegraph, is owned by Axel Springer and is part of its Global Reporters Network. The purpose of the Russian provocation would be to escalate tensions and force Western allies to halt aid to Ukraine. This could begin in a few months.

Polish security service sources also do not rule out a more conventional attack, such as a small-scale ground incursion by Russian soldiers onto NATO's eastern flank. According to Onet's security service sources, provocation scenarios could include drone attacks on critical infrastructure like power plants, or simulated airstrikes, forcing Poland to activate its air defense systems.
A Polish intelligence source stated that in the most extreme scenario, a "hybrid attack in the border region" could occur. According to the same source, an armed incursion involving Russian or Belarusian soldiers is possible. This could be presented by Russia as an accidental crossing into Polish territory due to a GPS malfunction, or as a suspicious rescue mission to retrieve a damaged helicopter. Polish sources told Onet that Russia hopes that in such a situation, instead of opening fire on Russian or Belarusian soldiers, the US would pressure Poland to negotiate with Russia or Belarus rather than respond with force. A scenario in which the Russians leave Poland as a result of these negotiations, rather than through military coercion, would be seen as a victory from Moscow's perspective.

During such negotiations, in exchange for withdrawing troops from Poland, Russia's main demand could even be the termination of Western support for Ukraine.

"The US systematically provides information to Poland about new Russian plans for a conventional attack on NATO's eastern flank, from which Poland is by no means excluded," said a source close to the Polish President.

A second source, an ambassador of one of Poland's NATO allies, also confirmed that a provocation in the Baltic states and Poland is a serious risk. This information was confirmed by a third source within the Polish Ministry of Defense. A fourth security source from the Baltic states confirmed to The Telegraph that such plans are indeed being discussed in Moscow. Following this, Russia might attempt to claim that the provocation was carried out by Ukraine.

Any ground attack by Russia could be launched either from Kaliningrad—Russia's exclave north of Poland where nuclear weapons are stationed—or from the east, via Belarusian territory. Such methods are Russia's only realistic way to stage a provocation. Because its forces are bogged down in Ukraine, it lacks the resources to wage a full-scale war against NATO allies.

Although Poland remains a committed security ally of Ukraine, relations have become strained in recent months due to differing views on World War II-era history and the competitive agricultural industries of the two countries. There are fears that Moscow will attempt to widen this rift even further. In the worst-case scenario for NATO, Russia's goal would be to undermine Polish sovereignty, portray NATO as a "paper tiger" (demonstrate its helplessness), and force the cessation of Western support for Ukraine—all without triggering a conventional war with the alliance.

Belgium 🇧🇪 - Senegal 🇸🇳 This wasn't a comeback... this was pure football madness. 👇

[ᜰ 🇦🇷 @markklfc]

Zlatan Ibrahimović on Belgium's historic comeback to eliminate Senegal and qualify for the Round of 16:

🗣️ “This wasn't a comeback... this was pure football madness. Belgium were buried, the fans had almost accepted defeat, and somehow they ripped victory out of Senegal's hands. That's the difference between teams that believe and teams that panic.”

“Senegal had one foot in the Round of 16, but they let history slip through their fingers. You don't get many chances to change your country's football story, and tonight they watched that dream disappear in front of millions. That pain will stay with them forever.”

“Belgium have just shown the entire world what champions are made of. They refused to surrender, they fought until the final second and turned heartbreak into pure ecstasy. Nights like this create legends, while nights like this also break hearts.”

“This is the World Cup. One nation is dancing in the streets tonight, another nation is crying. Belgium have written one of the greatest comeback stories of this tournament, and the rest of the world has been warned... never bury them until the final whistle.”

@DutchKafir Naar de toekomst stelt zich een ander probleem.Tegen 2050 zal 30% van de bevolking moslim zijn, met stemrecht. Op alle bestuursniveaus zullen steeds vaker moslims aan de macht zijn.Bovendien zullen zij niet nalaten om onze moeizaam verworven democratische wetten te veranderen…
