‘Is crypto the new gold?’

You would think that all platforms have learned their lesson after the scandalsurrounding the misleading ‘FIRE’, the VRT Max documentary that let cheatersspeak without hesitation and was therefore taken offline, but no, Streamz justgoes with the same production company – Het Rabbit – in the sea. The subjectof the new Streamz documentary is crypto, a matter of which the far toobeautiful promises and self-proclaimed experts stink even louder than the bankaccounts of some MEPs. In ‘Is Crypto the New Gold?’ Streamz promises us acritical look at the ‘unique and special digital currency and NFTs’, but aboveall we hope that ‘Is Crypto the new gold?’ is not the new ‘FIRE’.

Producer Cheeru Mampaey when asked whether this time they have checkedwhether their participants are not involved in a pyramid scheme: ‘We alwayscheck their background, as far as possible.’

It was time again for the Christmas special of ‘Bake Off’, in which the bakingtent of the program is briefly transformed into a nativity scene and a fewoutcasts among the well-known Flemish people can fight with flour, eggs andtheir own ignorance in the kitchen.

Stephen WerbrouckSunday December 18, 202208:41

Two years ago, at the second edition, was Minister of Health MaggieDeBlock a guest, and while corona, partly due to its inadequate policy,wreaked havoc in hospitals and care centers all over the country, she happilybaked and sculpted a Christmas scene. The unfortunate timing of De Block toappear as a politician in a TV program of the lighter kind will never beequaled or surpassed, but it must be said: Petra DeSutter was a creditablesecond this year. When the episode was taped weeks ago, she couldn’t haveforeseen that, but that as a deputy prime minister in the federal governmentyou stand jolly in a comfortable tent between Christmas trees and baubleswhile refugees, even entire families, in the biting freezing cold on streetsleeping: it is of an irony so bitter that not even a kilogram of baklavasweetens them.

De Sutter did not participate as a deputy prime minister, she hastened to say,but as an ardent hobby cook and admirer of the ‘magical process’ of baking.The three other participants, who in their daily lives are usually just casualpassers-by in the kitchen and hoped for a Christmas miracle here, were nomatch for her. When everyone had to melt chocolate to make Christmas baublesin the first round, it was over Jonas Geirnaert the concept of ‘au bain-marie’ was already too ambitious, so that he then concentrated mainly ontrying to bribe the jury in an increasingly less devious way. ComedienneSerine Ayari was notable for using the word “putain” much more often thanher scales—causation cannot be ruled out—and for gagging profusely when one ofher eggs turned out to contain a fetus. While she was making vomiting noises,the presenter came Wim Opbrouck cheerfully say that ‘something like thisonly occurs in one in five thousand eggs’: we didn’t get much closer to amiracle in the episode.

Surprisingly, the toughest competitor for Petra was Victor Verhulst ,which – as loyal viewers of ‘De Verhulstjes’ know – has an almost mysticalconnection with one of the most important ingredients in the patisserie: theegg. He eats three eggs a day, he told Ayari, which is at least a thousand ina year – which means he’s eaten at least one chicken fetus in the past fiveyears. His favorite part, however, is the egg yolk, “one of the purest andtastiest things ever, if you find that out today, you’re in.” During the firsthalf of the shooting, Viktor may have occasionally beaten an egg yolk from hiswork table, because when the four candidates were ready for their spectacle,he opted for a pastry for which you only need the egg white: macarons, whichdressed as the Verhulst family in an idyllic winter picture of a mountain.

For reasons that have never been explained, Viktor had stuffed the macaronswith salmon mousse, so we wouldn’t have been surprised if judges Rules andHerman at the tasting had begun to retch. But in the Christmas special of’Bake Off’ traditionally cosiness and mildness reign supreme: the two praisedboth the pastry and ‘the perfectly flavored filling’ without hesitation and avisibly shaken Viktor stammered that he had never received such positivecomments. We are already looking forward to the episode of ‘De Verhulstjes’ inwhich Viktor Gert instead of fried eggs, makes macarons with salmon moussefor breakfast.

R . Ahora los tratan como reyes. Nosotros vivíamos en una casa con 11 o 12habitantes. Yo dormía solo porque llegué el último. Eran cuatro paredes sinventana y una puertita que daba a otra habitación, la de Ardiles y Villa.Después de la primera noche, me levanté con unos dolores de espalda… Levantoel colchón y faltaban las maderas abajo. Enseguida me pusieron tres, nada dequilombo. Tenía una lampara de 40, sin plafón. En la cancha de entrenamientohabía árboles en medio. Hacia un frio tremendo en ese tiempo. La chimeneaestaba abajo, pero arriba, and las habitaciones, nada. ¿Se cree que hubo algúnproblema? Argentina no había ganado nunca. Para lo que se necesitaba,estábamos perfectos.

P. Nada que ver con lo actual.

R . Un día me invitó el Valencia a un viaje en Champions. Llego al hotel yun bufé espectacular para los jugadores. ¿Como que esto para ellos?, pregunto.And nuestra epoca, sopa, pescado y carne. Los sábados, arroz a la cubana. Aveces pedías un huevo extra y me hacían un quilombo. En nuestra epoca noteníamos televisión ni maquinitas. Así que desayunabas, comías y cenabas confútbol. No sé si ahora se habla de fútbol. En el 86 no estuve, pero conociendoa Bilardo sería algo parecido. Después salieron las maquinitas y lostelevisores grandes, la modernidad, y ya empezamos a no ganar.

P. ¿No les ha sentado bien la modernidad?

R . A lotos. Brasil, España, Alemania, Italia… Son rachas.

P. ¿Por qué Argentina lleva 36 años sin ganar un Mundial?

R . Son muchos, pero no vas a salir campeón cuando te lo propongas. Pudoser en 2014, yademás en Brasil. Tambien hay que tener un poco la suerte. Esavez había buenos jugadores, pero eran muy amigos, demasiado. Nadie gritaba.Esos pibes venian juntos desde juveniles y no resultó. Los de ahora, que estánen los mejores equipos, dan otra personalidad. Respetan a Messi por encima detodo, pero no le obligan a hacer cosas que no debe. Si ellos cumplen, Messiestará más fresco y será mejor.

P. ¿La cantidad de argentinos en Doha es presión o ayuda?

R . No hay presion. Según ha ido pasando el Mundial, el equipo se hasentido más cómodo. Ahora ha llegado el momento, sin necesidad de hacer cosasraras. Y luego las finals son para ganarlas.

P. Scaloni siempre insiste en que ve demasiado drama alrededor del fútboly que hay que tomarlo solo como un partido.

R . Es la afición la que te da esa impresión. El país es una locura con laselección, y más si le dan motivos, como ahora. ¿Pero vos cree que el jugadorsiente presión? Esa la tiene el que se levanta a las siete, a las ocho entraen la oficina, aguanta al jefe, sale a las siete, los niños están enfermos yno te alcanza el dinero a fin de mes. ¿Jugar al futbol? Ponedle puntossuspensivos [risas]. La presión no existe en el fútbol, ​​es solo paradivertirse. Es una obligación darle al público lo que quiere, pero si no tesale y lo has dejado todo, te va a aplaudir.

P. ¿La imagen que quede de Messi en Argentina dependerá de si gana elMundial?

R . No, él ya ha ganado por lo que está haciendo. Hace tiempo, lo veíastriunfar en el Barcelona y con la selección parecía desganado, no era él. Elentorno le metía la presión de por qué en Barcelona lo hacía bien y no enArgentina. Yo lo dije muchas veces: “que se vaya, por la gente”. Para Messi,ir con Argentina, era un peso terrible. Queria mejorar, hacerlo todo y lesalian las cosas peor. Cuando quieres abarcar más de lo que el cuerpo te da,malo.

P. ¿Qué hizo clic?

R . El seleccionador ha encontrado la tranquilidad para él. Ha buscadojugadores, con o sin experiencia, que están en los mejores clubes de Europa yponen su personalidad al servicio del equipo. No llegan y le dan la pelota aMessi para que resuelva todo. Ahora Messi, al estar fresco, es el mejor.

P. El otro día Scaloni dijo es el mejor de la historia.

R . The history of Messi. Antes estuvieron Cruyff, Di Stéfano, Pelé,Maradona… Son ciclos. No sabemos qué hubiera hecho entonces y no sabemos hastacuándo va a durar. ¿Qué va a decir Scaloni? Es su jugador.

Hace ya bastanes mundiales que se venía anunciando que el futuro, o sea lo quehoy es presente, viviría una explosión del África negra. El tipo físicosubsahariano representaba el ideal del futbolista por estatura, rapidez,agilidad y potencia. Pero el desarrollo de estructuras en aquella región no haseguido el ritmo esperado y quien se está beneficiando gracias a ese capitalhumano son las viejas potencias coloniales, en particular Francia. Hijos deinmigrantes, nacidos ya en Francia o llegados muy pequeños y adiestrados ya enexcelentes escuelas de fútbol cuyo origen fue la de Clairefontaine, de la queluego se crearon hasta once réplicas por todo el país, enriquecen la selecciónde nuestro país vecino.

Esta Francia que se enfrenta este domingo con Argentina es un equipo quemezcla el depósito de conocimiento de su vieja tradición futbolística con elfísico privilegiado que le llega del África subsahariana, dando lugar a unfútbol diferente, superior, que hoy debe pasar la prueba definitiva ante unequipo, Argentina, que viene a ser lo contrario: seguro que la gran mayoríatiene los cuatro abuelos argentinos. Claro que si se meneara lo suficiente elárbol genealógico empezarían a caer de él españoles, italianos, turcos, rusos,franceses, irlandeses… Argentina también es hija de muchas tierras, pero lamezcla es antigua, está cuajada.

Y sí, esta selección sí representa a la Francia real, basta movese por allípara descubrir que es una sociedad multirracial. Cierto que la presencia defranceses del gusto de Le Pen en la selección no corresponde estadísticamentea la que vemos en la calle, pero eso sólo podemos achacarlo a que las familiasinmigrantes viven dificultades y sus chicos están dispuestos a mayoressacrificios,además de ser portadores and muchos casos de genes privilegiadospara el fútbol. Y su presencia en la selección nacional sólo puede servir deorgullo y estímulo favorables para la adaptación de esas comunidades que, pordesgracia, no están tan bien mezcladas en el conjunto de la sociedad como enlos equipos de fútbol. Ese es un problema grave en Francia, pero no en suselección, cuyos éxitos envían un mensaje de concordia. Aunquedesgraciadamente hay que añadir que el fútbol da alegrías, pero no soluciones.

Tonight the final chord of perhaps the most controversialworld championship ever. Will Messi’s dream finally come true? Or will Franceretain its title? Read more about the World Cup in Qatar here.

Messi ya tuvo su cruz en Maracaná. La cara quizá en el majestuoso estadio deLusail, a unos 15 kilómetros de Doha, la capital. El aforo, the 90,000espectadores, será insuficiente para la demanda argentina, la originariallegada desde Sudamérica, como para la local. And Qatar abundan las túnicasárabes con bufanda al cuello de Messi. Para el régimen catarí la final soñada,frente a frente dos de los tres hijos predilectos del PSG de su propiedad(Neymar fue exiliado por Modric). Eso sí, Mbappé no tendrá el mismo abrigo queLeo. La hinchada francesa, a tenor de los visto en sus duelos anteriores,estaría holgada con un 5% del estadio.

El 10, que entonces vestía el 19, marcó un gol en su estreno ante Serbia yMontenegro, fue titular ante Países Bajos y jugó la prórroga de octavos contraMéxico. Un total de 122 minutos no le sirvieron para sustituir a Crespo cuandoen la cancha ya no estaba Riquelme. “Para qué lo iba a poner, si contraHolanda no hizo nada”, se justificó después Pékerman. “¡Nen, aca no pintasnada!”, le advertiría Riquelme en una reunion de jefes en la Copa América

No era el primer momento en el que Francia y Qatar compartían interests. Pocosdías antes del comienzo del torneo, el presidente de la FIFA cuando se eligióla sede en 2010, Joseph Blatter, contó en una entrevista dónde se torció suplan de que este Mundial se disputara en EE UU: “Una semana antes del congresode la FIFA de 2010 [donde se decidieron las sedes de 2018 y 2022]Michael[Platini] me llamo para contarme que nuestro plan no iba a funcionar. Acababade ser invitado por el presidente francés Sarkozy”.

Cuando Platini llegó a ver al presidente, se encontró allí al jeque Hamad binJassim bin Jabr al Thani, primer ministro catarí, y al jeque Tamim bin Hamadal Thani, hoy emir de Qatar, entonces todavía heredero. El exfutbolistasiempre había sostenido que no apoyaría un Mundial en el emirato, pero cuandosalió de la comida telefoneó a Blatter. El expresidente de la FIFA dice saberqué sucedió: “Había una cuestión de dinero de por medio. Seis meses después deaquellas reuniones, Qatar compró aviones de combate a los franceses por 14,000millones de dólares”. Al fondo del emirato le quedaba dinero para extender uncheque en blanco a Mbappé y mantenerlo bajo dominio franco-catarí durante elMundial. Por su lado, el futbolista ha asumido con cierta gravedad el papelsimbólico alimentado por Macron: “Puedes quedarte y tener éxito”, dijo andSports Illustrated. “Para nosotros es un gran mensaje, porque cuando anunciéque me quedaba muchas cosas cambiaron en la mentalidad de la gente. La genteempezó a decir: ‘Sí, no necesitamos salir. No necesitas dejar el país”.
