Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2020/21 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS Jan Breydelstadion - Bruges Wednesday 4 November 2020 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Club Brugge Group F - Matchday 3 Borussia Dortmund Last updated 03/11/2020 03:09CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 5 1 Club Brugge - Borussia Dortmund Wednesday 4 November 2020 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit Jan Breydelstadion, Bruges Match background Club Brugge are looking to end a long run without a home UEFA Champions League group stage victory as they welcome Borussia Dortmund to Belgium. • There is only one point between the sides in what is shaping up to be a three-way tussle at the top of Group F. Club Brugge have four points thanks to a 2-1 opening win at Zenit and 1-1 draw at home to Lazio; Dortmund went down 3-1 in Italy on the opening night but got back on track with a 2-0 defeat of Zenit on home soil. Previous meetings • The teams were paired together in the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League group stage, Dortmund's Christian Pulišić scoring the only goal of those two games in the 85th minute in Belgium on Matchday 1. • Prior to that season, the teams had each won two of their four matches, all at home – but Club Brugge emerged victorious in both ties, both in dramatic circumstances. • In the 2003/04 UEFA Champions League third qualifying round, each side won the home leg 2-1, sending the tie into a penalty shoot-out in Dortmund which was won 4-2 by the vistors. • Dortmund appeared to have seized control of their 1986/87 UEFA Cup third round tie against Club Brugge with a 3-0 first-leg success in West Germany – only for the Belgian side to score three times themselves in the return to force extra time. There goals from Franky Van der Elst and Leo Van der Elst (no relation), with the latter completing his hat- trick, sealed a spectacular comeback. Form guide Club Brugge • Club Brugge are in the group stage for the third year in a row, the first time they have achieved that feat; it is their eighth UEFA Champions League group appearance overall. They have never progressed to the knockout rounds. • In 2019/20, the Belgian side finished third behind Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in Group A, picking up three points (D3 L3). It was the second year running they had finished third in their group. • They went on to lose to Manchester United in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 (1-1 h, 0-5 a). • The Matchday 1 win at Zenit was only Club Brugge's second victory in their last 20 fixtures in the UEFA Champions League proper (D7 L11); they have won none of their last 11 home matches in the group stage (D5 L6), since a 3-2 defeat of Rapid Wien in November 2005. • Club Brugge are without a win in five home European matches (D3 L2), since a 2-1 defeat of LASK in the 2018/19 UEFA Champions League play-offs. That was their third straight home victory; they had lost only one of their eight previous home European matches (W3 D4) before their current winless streak started. • The Bruges club have won only one of their last 11 fixtures against German clubs, home and away (D3 L7) – that 2003 defeat of Dortmund. They won seven of their first eight home matches against Bundesliga clubs, losing one, but that Dortmund success is the sole victory in the subsequent six (D2 L3). Dortmund • Second in the Bundesliga behind Bayern München for the second season running in 2019/20, this is Dortmund's 15th UEFA Champions League campaign; they were winners in 1997, and runners-up in 2013. BVB have reached the round of 16 in six of their last seven participations. • Lucien Favre's side finished second behind Barcelona in their section last season, picking up ten points – seven of them at home – to finish ahead of Internazionale and Slavia Praha. • Dortmund were 2-1 winners at home to Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16 first leg, but bowed out after going down 2-0 in the return in France. • BVB have won five of their last nine European matches (L4), all four defeats coming away from home. • Erling Braut Haaland, who got the second goal against Zenit on Matchday 2, has scored in seven of his eight group stage appearances, ten goals in all. • Dortmund have managed only three victories in their last 17 European away matches (D4 L10), although all of those wins have come in their last nine matches (L6) – and all in the UEFA Champions League group stage. • Dortmund have won their last three games in Belgium, having been beaten in each of their first three matches in the country. They have kept a clean sheet in each of those victories; in contrast, those three defeats featured one goal scored and eight conceded.

Beiden zijn we trainer en bovendien bezig met het behalen van de nodige diploma‟s. We zien zelf, maar dan op clubniveau, dat de jeugdwerking niet steeds loopt zoals we zouden willen. Professionalisme gaat dan ook soms gepaard met amateurisme. Wat de effectiviteit van de doorstroming betreft zijn er weinig ploegen die hier goede punten op scoren. Zelfs in het provinciale voetbal is deze doorstroming bij de meeste clubs niet bepaald hoog te noemen. In de huidige economische malaise hebben clubs het echter steeds moeilijker om het hoofd boven water te houden. In plaats van een nieuwe sterspeler aan te kopen is men nu verplicht om de eigen jeugd een kans te geven. Hopelijk beginnen clubs stilaan te beseffen dat een goede jeugdwerking wel eens het redmiddel zou kunnen zijn voor de toekomst.

    Ce que les Diables Rouges nous disent de la Belgique multiculturelle 17 juil. 2018 Par Nadia Fadil Et David Jamar - Mediapart.fr En face d’un café, une foule d’hommes se réjouissent au rythme d’une darbouka. Cette scène se déroule à Molenbeek, rendue célèbre pour l’implication de quelques-uns de ses habitants dans le terrorisme international. Mais ici la commune est le cadre d’un plus joyeux événement. Que disent ces engouements pour le jeu de certaines expressions qui émergent dans l'espace politique belge? En face d’un café, une foule d’hommes se réjouissent et dansent au rythme d’une darbouka, un tambour marocain. Cette vidéo qui circule sur facebook a été prise à Molenbeek, l’une des dix-neuf communes de Bruxelles, rendue mondialement célèbre pour l’implication de quelques-uns de ses habitants dans le terrorisme international. Mais ici la commune est le cadre d’un plus joyeux événement. Une foule de gens, d’origine maghrébine, dansent et chantent, flanqués de drapeaux belges alors que des voitures klaxonnent aux rythmes des danseurs. Plus loin, depuis les bars congolais de Matonge, la fête se poursuit jusqu’aux petites heures. La Belgique est en demi-finale de la coupe du monde de football, en éliminant, avec la manière, le grand Brésil. Une seule fois, c’était arrivé, en 1986 à Mexico, autour du gardien légendaire Jean-Marie Pfaff, de l’attaquant Jan Ceulemans, d’Eric Gerets, du jeune Enzo Scifo, de Leo Van Der Elst ou de Franky Vercauteren.

However, EURO 2008 convinced me that it was a good idea. Once again, the tournament illustrated the extraordinary passion generated by national team football and gave rise to such a fantastic party atmosphere that I felt it was only right for the tournament to be extended to more countries, to let even more supporters take part and to spread the excitement and party atmosphere far and wide across the continent. I also felt that the emotion of the tournament should be heightened by adding a direct knockout round for the last 16 in the competition and by ensuring that all the group matches, or the vast majority of them at least, would be crucial, by allowing the best third-placed teams through to the next round. The quality of the matches we saw during EURO 2008 also confirmed the high technical level of European football, and teams like England, Scotland and IN THIS ISSUE Denmark, or even Serbia and Ukraine – to name but a few – would certainly not UEFA Cup groups 03 have reduced the quality of the tournament.

In this paper, we assess empirically the connection between genetic diversity and the performance of sport teams. Focusing on football (soccer), we built a novel dataset of national teams of European countries that have participated in the European and the World Championships since 1970. Determining the genetic diversity of national teams is based on the distance between the genetic scores of every players’ origins in the team. Genetic endowments for each player are recovered using a matching algorithm based on family names. Performance is measured at both the unilateral and bilateral level. Identification of the causal link relies on an instrumental variable strategy that is based on past immigration at the country level about one generation before.

  • Jaarverslag 1986
    DIENSTJAAR 1986 DEELl .RAAD VAN BEHEER .RADD .TELEVISIE BELGISCHE RADIO EN TELEVISIE JAAROVERZ ICHT DIENSTJAAR 1986 TEN GELEIDE Het thema dat in 1986 bij radio en televisie het meest ter discus­ sie heeft gestaan was "de verandering in het medialandschap". De uitdrukking is een cliché geworden, maar ze geeft wel de realiteit weer. Overal was de omroep in beweging, ook bij ons. Op het inter­ nationale vlak vroeg een instelling als de Europese Radio Unie zich af hoe de Public Broadcasters (om het jargon van dat gezelschap ook maar eens te gebruiken) zich teweer moeten stellen tegen het op­ dringen van vaak vreemde profit-orientated concurrenten. In eigen land wou de regering het omrœpmonopolie van de instellingen van openbaar nut vervangen door een systeem van mededinging : Vlaande­ ren wachtte dus op commerciële televisie. Inmiddels, was de overheid, die besparingen ter sanering van de staatsfinancies hoog in haar vaandel heeft geschreven, niet erg ge­ neigd de dotatie waarmee de BRT gefinancierd wordt, te verhogen vooraleer een doorlichting zou hebben aangetoond dat de openbare omroep de hem toegekende middelen ook efficiënt gebruikt. Eind 1986 begon een buitenlands studiebureau met deze doorlichting. Rekening houdend met het resultaat zou de overheid later "voldoende midde­ len" vrijmaken om de BRT als openbare dienst behoorlijk te laten werken. Voor de commerciële televisie van de toekomst zou de ether­ reclame gereserveerd worden, al poogde de BRT ook in 1986 haar ka­ rig inkomen met de opbrengst van zogeheten niet-commerciële reclame te verhogen. Dit karig inkomen was de grootste zorg van het afge­ lopen jaar. Terwijl de Nederlandse collega's zich beklaagden over de zuinigheid van hun regenten, die maar 120.000 gulden (+ 2 miljoen Bfr.) ter beschikking stelden om één uur televisie te maken, produ­ ceerden de Vlamingen één uur televisie (alles inbegrepen, tot en met de afschrijving van apparatuur en gebouwen) voor gemiddeld 770.000 Bfr.
