El VAR functionala. Lo que no funciona es el factor humano. Los penaltis pormanos absurdas no son culpa del VAR: son culpa de una normativa decidida porlos humanos. Los fueras de juego por milímetros no son culpa del VAR, sino dequien cree que uno o dos o cinco milímetros son suficientes para dar ventajaal delantero o quien opina que el hombro, cuyo principio y final puededepender del diseño de una camiseta, puede ser un factor decisorio en un juegoque consiste esencialmente en dominar un objeto esférico con los pies. Elproblema no es qué dicen las imágenes sobre un posible penalti sino ladisparidad de criterio entre los árbitros sobre la interpretación de una mismajugada. El VAR ha llegado para quedarse pero el factor humano ha de mejorar.Si funciona en el cricket y en el rugby, ¿por qué no puede funcionar en elfútbol? ¿Por qué no podemos oír las conversaciones entre los árbitros de lasala VAR y el del campo? ¿Por qué no se explica a los hinchas en directo lasrazones de una u otra decisión, como sí se hace en esos deportes?

Ch!pz was an indispensable part of the Top 40 for years, but it has now beenfifteen years since the group scored a number 1 hit. Yet Kim Kardashian andher daughter North are also suddenly dancing 1001 Arabian Nights. Why is thesong from 2004 suddenly a hype and does this also mean the return of the band?

“We were slightly hysterical,” the members of Ch!pz tell ANP when they saw KimKardashian doing some dance steps to their song. “Having fun with my Northie,”the reality star wrote with a video of them performing a choreography to thesong that originated on TikTok.

But where do we know Ch!pz from? Cowboy Carnival and CH!PZ In Black : theyare three of the biggest hits of the 2000s. The group was founded in 2003through auditions and already consisted of Rachel van den Hoogen, KevinHellenbrand, Cilla Niekoop and Peter Rost. Their first single hit the markimmediately. CH!PZ In Black (Who You Gonna Call) takes second place in theTop 40 and first place in the Single Top 100.

This is followed by four number 1 hits in both lists: Cowboy , 1001 ArabianNights , One, Two, Three! and Carnival. Due to the great success in theNetherlands, the team behind Ch!pz is aiming for international success and notwithout results. Cowboy also comes first in Germany and even hits the chartsin the musically competitive United Kingdom. Hit success has also beenachieved in Austria, Switzerland and parts of Scandinavia.

As quickly as Ch!pz emerged, they disappeared from the scene a few yearslater. Until 2007, a few top 10 hits in the Netherlands follow, a year laterthere is another television program, but after that it becomes quieter. In2010, the management decides that the group is no longer successful enough andso Ch!pz is dissolved.

The resurrection of Ch!pz

In 2018, Ch!pz announces a tentative comeback, initially as a joke. There willbe no new music yet, but performances are planned. They can be found atfestivals and at Qmusic’s Foute Party.

The group is now suddenly in the spotlight again because new dances are beinginvented on TikTok on the song 1001 Arabian Nights. Many who grew up withCh!pz will still remember the choreography from the video clip. But on TikTokit looks completely different.

Ch!pz cleverly responds to this by recording a video together with influencerThomas Brok. The group does the original choreography, Brok the TikTok dance.This video has been viewed over sixteen million times at the time of writing.Kardashian’s video count has reached 8.5 million. The song has already beenused in more than three million creations on the app.

With these high numbers on TikTok, you would also expect significant growth onSpotify. Although the popularity of the song is picking up somewhat, thecounter is still stuck at fifteen million plays. This may be due to the factthat the artist and song title are not mentioned in most TikTok videos withthe Ch!pz song.

The members of Ch!pz are very enthusiastic about this new attention. Theythink it’s special that a song from 2005 manages to unleash all this, theytell various media. Booking requests are also pouring in again. Whether thiswill also lead to their own concerts and new music, they do not dare to saywith certainty to ANP.

“The people who knew us from the past and now run into us all the time say:It’s great that you’re back. We love your music, but come up with somethingnew. Maybe we should sit down for it, because we hear it so often now.”

Lewandowski.

No sera un duelo parejo. Mbappé, como Pelé, gano un Mundial con 18 años. Es ungigante emergent a la cabeza del actual equipo campeón. Lewandowski, a la edadde 34, ha iniciado el declive sin haber conseguido ningún éxito notable con suselección. El polaco no se clasificó para los Mundiales de 2010 y 2014, semarchó de Rusia sin meter ni un solo gol en 2018, y acaba de completar unapobre phase de grupos en Qatar, en donde solo marcó un tanto contra ArabiaSaudí, el 2 -0, cuando el partido estaba roto. Paraphrasando a Deschamps, losbalones insignificantes de Polonia son menos significativos que los balonesdel Barcelona, ​​el Bayern, o el Dortmund de Klopp.

El exiguo rendimiento de Lewandowski con su selección es objeto de debat enPolonia, en donde los aficionados intentan explicarse por qué la estrella quegolea en el Bayern o en el Barcelona pasa inadvertida cuando lo rodean suspaisanos. Ayer se lo volvieron a preguntar al seleccionador, CeszlavMichniewicz. El hombre suspiro. “Es una larga historia”, dijo; “y no puedorevelarla del todo”.

Michniewicz explicó benevolente que Lewandowski, a diferencia de delanteroscomo Mbappé, no es capaz de ser productivo para su equipo si su equipopreviamente no le suministra balones en el área, para que él los empuje.“Contra Mexico y Argentina tuvimos problemas en la transición”, dijo. “Nofuimos precisos para crear condiciones suficientes para Robert. El necesitaestar en el area. Ahí lo llevamos contra Arabia Saudí y pudo meter cuatrogoles. Contra Argentina nos interceptaron los pases en el mediocampo y nopudimos aprovechar los contragolpes. Para sacar todo el partido de nuestrosatacantes necesitamos llevarlos al lugar adecuado”. Hostigado para quecomparase a Mbappé con su némesis polaca, Deschamps perdió la sonrisa: “Sonjugadores muy diferentes. Lewandowski es muy eficaz en la zona de definition.Hay que limitar su influencia evitando que reciba balones en nuestra area. Másallá de su inteligencia, de su habilidad técnica, él emplea muy bien sucuerpo. No nos queremos enfocar en el pero no debemos perder de vista que sufunción es aparecer para concretar el peligro”.

No sé si vas a entender las coincidencias históricas, pero quizá veas a tupadre faltar el respeto a la investidura en algunas ocasiones. Verás que nocanta el himno, que su sueño es ser puteado por la hinchada de River entera yque puede ir en bermudas y ojotas a reuniones en la Casa Rosada. A mí eso meenamoró y quizá habla de mi propio origen porque yo llegué en el año delMundial de España 1982.

Amy Robach was waiting to announce her split from estranged husband AndrewShue before her relationship with her GMA3 co-anchor, TJ Holmes, was madepublic.

A source tells PEOPLE that the journalist, 49, and Shue, 55, were “about readyto settle their divorce” prior to breaking news about Robach and Holmes’relationship.

“They were waiting on [the settlement] to tell people,” the source says of thepair, who got married in 2010. “The whole point of why she waited to share thenews that her marriage was over: she went to [divorce] mediation.”

“The woman had cancer for a long time. She was very preoccupied with that,”the source continues. “Stuff with her and Andrew was difficult starting earlysummer this year and they had issues before.”

Shue has not spoken publicly on the matter and has not responded to PEOPLE’snumerous attempts for comment.

The source also notes the connection between Robach and Holmes — who has beenmarried to attorney Marilee Fiebig since 2010 — grew over time, but theypreviously denied any possibility of a romance, even when others noticed it.

“Everyone knew they were close friends and had good chemistry. She was goingthrough a lot. There was a point at which, several years ago, another _GMA_cast member had sort of made a joke with TJ about how close he was with Amyand he was very embarrassed,” the source says. “They had each gone throughdifferent things and people knew it was a friendship.”

“They joked how good their chemistry was, but they shut it down and made itclear they were each going through their own stuff and there was nothingbetween them,” the source adds. “She and TJ just did things together all thetime. Her daughter babysat for his daughter. They were open about it. Theirlives were intertwined because of work and they were best friends, so whentheir marriages ended, he was there for her and it was a very naturaltransition.”

No sé si pudiste ver los dos partidos de Argentina de esta noche. Fue, comocasi todo lo nuestro, una rareza. Podríamos haber jugado uno solo, pero no nosalcanzaba: ya conoces nuestra desmesura. Dos, entonces, y fue curioso quefueran con Australia. Hacia 1900 dos grandes potencias asomaban en el sur delsur: se parecían en su inmensidad, sus inmigrantes, su pujanza, sus rebaños,sus futuros tan prósperos. Argentina tiene, ahora, un producto gross porcabeza de unos 10,000 dólares; Australia, the 60,000. Así que al fútbolteníamos que ganarles.

Looking, hearing, feeling, smelling, tasting, intuition: our senses make uswho we are. This week: saxophonist Candy Dulfer (53). She was followed forfour years for the documentary Candy , which will soon be seen in cinemas.”Even if I’m in shit, I want to make people feel good.”

Rick PullensDecember 2, 202221:28

HEARING – Making music starts with listening

“I was kind of born into a saxophone. That is of course because of Hans, myfather, also a saxophonist. The Filipino sister in the Anna Pavilion, here inAmsterdam, said to my mother after giving birth: ‘Oh, your husband is a jazzmusician? Then you must put on a record tonight when you take Candy home; niceand loud, then she gets used to the sound.’

The billiard table in our house in Broek en Waterland was always full ofsaxophones. During the day my father earned money selling cars, in the eveninghe often played somewhere. Many musicians came over – I sat on the knee ofArchie Shepp, the American jazz saxophonist. And I went to concerts. I wassurrounded by music.

Candy, the documentary

The documentary will be shown in cinemas from December 15 Candy a film bydirector Carin Goeijers about the life of the Netherlands’ most famoussaxophonist.

Still, I didn’t start playing myself until I was five. And quite frankly,those early years were mainly a way to please my father – that fun, flashyfather who was away so often. When I asked if I could try it too and playedsomething very silly, he replied: ‘That’s great, you even know how to holdyour hands’. To which I, as an only child, thought: oh, Daddy likes this.

For me, making music starts with listening. On stage I react to what I hear.That’s what I do all the time. That’s because I’m not really educated andbecause I think I’m good at it. As a child I played in the village harmony,but I never went to the conservatory, I never had any further lessons. At homeI played along with records.

Years passed before I became really obsessed with the saxophone and thought:this is my calling, my calling. I was mostly a go-getter. Thanks to Hans. Heused to get little support from his parents, they always criticized him anddidn’t really believe in him, but he always said to me: ‘You can do anything’.That’s what I like most about him. ‘Jeee-sister you were so good’, he stillsays it to me.”

LOOKING – Being really seen doesn’t happen very often

“The documentary starts with a fragment where I am battling with a drummerduring a performance. I try to keep playing until I see he can’t anymore.Wonderful, such a competition. If I notice that a drummer like that thinks’no, not another round’, I just keep going.

Such a battle is very difficult, it does not always go well. You really haveto have the same swing. If it works, that’s so nice, then you both float. Evenwith a complete stranger you can have a symbiosis at such a moment. Playingtogether in that way really has a deeper meaning for me. It’s basically whatyou want people on Earth to do.

The funny thing is: I’ve been doing this battle for years, with the bestdrummers in the world – I copied it from older saxophonists – but the only onewho can keep it up is Sheila E. Men quickly think: it won’t happen to me. Theygive just a little too much gas and don’t realize that I’m going to continuefor another six minutes. She knows exactly how this game goes.

Sheila E. once wrote on a note after a performance: ‘The world is only halfaware of how good you are’. She didn’t mean Candy is the best saxophonist inthe world. She is not saying that, there are much better saxophonists. But shesaw what I’m doing there. She does it herself. I’m not just the soloist, I’mholding that whole band together, I’m watching the audience. That she wrotethat means a lot to me. Because everyone really wants to be seen. That onlyhappens a few times in your life.”

INTUITION – I am (too) often rational

“I actually learned the trick from a bunch of machos: my dad, Prince, MaceoParker, Dave Stewart. The last two are the bosses you want: they can make youdo exactly what they want without getting angry. But I also leaned towardsPrince. Everyone bowed to him like a jackknife. That seemed wonderful to me.That just doesn’t work for me. I’m way too sweet, but when it comes to musicsometimes too strict. I pay my musicians as well as possible, but I also ask alot of them. Being a boss is something you have to learn.

I myself am also macho yes. Male. A kind of Hans Dulfer, but with two tails.The worst part is: sometimes I don’t really know who I am anymore. Serious.I’m actually a very shy girl, very feminine, but to keep myself going I’vealways imitated my father so much that I’m a bit Hans now too. Or was thatalready in me?

Male, female, I can’t remember. As a bandleader I often had to be strong onthe road, on my own, with fourteen people behind me. Then I had to makecrucial decisions: are we being nice to this cop, are we leaving now or are wegoing to get mad? But that shy girl is still there, especially at home. ThenI’m on my phone, I want nice clothes and I spend an hour on my make-up. I’vehad a boyfriend, Rafael, for six years now – hopefully forever , he is worthgold; an ultra-civilized man, with a bodybuilder’s body and tattoos.Fortunately, he can deal well with that strange duality.

Because I was always so preoccupied with thinking like a man, I lost myintuition for a long time. I did what seemed right in my head, but in myheart? I can’t hear my heart well at all. Sometimes I just think rationally. Ioften call my best friend, who is very intuitive, almost clairvoyant. Then Iask: do you know what I feel? That helps.”

FEELING – Music should give comfort

“Anyone who tries to play funk or jazz has to realize where that music comesfrom: from Africa. In the times of slavery, the rhythm was supposed to comfortpeople and give them energy to keep going. That meditative, a beat that reallybeats and continues in the same cadence, is therefore more than ‘nice’. You doit to help the other. Be aware of that if you play African American music,especially if you are white. I don’t like playing with people who don’t care.Groove and timing, that’s what it’s all about.

In Prince I met a kindred spirit. He said exactly the same to his musicians.He had one of the best drummers in the world, but then I would hear him say,’Damn John, if you drop that first bar a little, I’ll be down 1-0′. He got it.Also in terms of energy: you give until you drop. You are broken yourself, butyou give the audience even more.

In many other ways, Prince and I were polar opposites. I still think it’sincredible that I worked with him – I was eighteen, nineteen when I first gotto play. I can still chuckle to myself: I, Candy from Amsterdam, who can’tread a note; a stubborn, weird, chubby kid who was constantly checking himout.”

SMELL – My band smells and plays very fresh

“I once broke my nose trying to grab my 40-kilogram suitcase from a luggagerack on the back of the tour bus. Once again I was too macho and wanted to doit alone. That thing fell on my nose. As a result, I now have a bad nose, onenostril is too small.

Still, I think scent is important. Hygiene. Also in a band. We often have toget on the bus immediately after playing, then you can’t take a shower. LennyKravitz had a bath in his bus, we never had that. So yes, tolerance, that’swhat it all comes down to: making sure you don’t bother others. In the bus weall brush our teeth neatly, we have to. The band I have now smells and playsparticularly fresh.

My mother was my tour manager until recently, but I felt it had to stop atsome point; Inge is now 81, Hans 82. Sometimes she goes along for a while.Like recently to Switzerland. Then we lie in the bus together in the doublebed. Our bond is so close. Even when we are not together, we are alwaysworking together. We call, call, call. And we app.”

FEEL (2) – Never give up

I never just make a record, it always comes from a certain feeling, but my newalbum We Never Stop is really a cry from the heart. It had to come out. Whenwe were writing, corona broke out. And themes that were always on my mind weretopical: the multicultural society, the position of people who are not white,LGBTI+ issues. That’s all in this album.

Because of the pandemic, I was suddenly at home. A confusing time. I just hada new tire, but couldn’t even keep paying the guys. I tried to be strong, butI had to say ‘we never stop’ to myself every day. It was also a mantra tomyself. Because am I still a musician if I can’t play live? And can I makepeople happy if it’s not me?

Image Patrick Post

Yet it was precisely then that it became more clear to me than ever that musicis necessary. Even though I’m in shit, I want to make people feel good – ‘comeon, let’s keep going’. That’s what I’m in the world for. Of course, I alsosometimes get stuck in things, but soon I think: come on, let’s move on. I gotthat optimism from Inge, my mother. Persevere and continue. Never give up.

That’s how I deal with a lot of things. For example, I can’t have children.That is intense, because I always wanted a family. I went to extremes withivf. Still I thought: okay, I’m really sad now, I feel that, but I don’t wantto have my whole life failed because of one negative thing. That wouldn’t befair to my parents either. They have done so much for me, so that I have thisgreat life.

My parents were ultimately also the reason to say yes to the documentary. Ididn’t have to put my head in a movie myself, but I was sorry that they neverwanted to either. Now something of them has been captured on film. Soon theywill be gone. I already cry when I think about it. I think it’s scary now thatthey’re getting old.

When I recently saw the result of four years of filming, I had to laugh. I hadin my head: it’s going to be a documentary, so then I’ll sit in a chair, saysome nice sentences that sum up my life and the world and then people willsay: ‘Gosh, how wise Candy is’. Not so. It’s a very different kind of film,more like a portrait. I don’t think anyone would say, “Candy is the helmsmanof this century, what a wise 53-year-old woman.” Unfortunately. People don’tsee it in me. I’ll just put up with that. I just do it my way: with music.”

Esto ha sido lo más relevant de la duodécima jornada: ​​​​​​​ Alemania rescata a España. España le debe una a Alemania. Y no una cualquiera.De no ser por el auxilio germano, la que se presumía expansiva selección deLuis Enrique estaría de vuelta a España en el camión escoba en que han salidodel Mundial por la gatera Qatar, Túnez, Canadá, Irán, Arabia Saudí… Y Alemania, cuya victoria a última hora sobre Costa Rica solo sirvió a España, que no ledevolvió el flotador.

Cualquiera puede aguantar un mes sin cortarse el pelo, pero para losfutbolistas, muchas veces, es un asunto de superstición. “Casillas decía quesi le cortaba el pelo ganábamos seguro”, recuerda Ramiro. “Y luego cada unotenia sus manias. El día que había partido, Iñaki Sáez me pedía: ‘Tuarréglales la patilla, la nuca, lo que quieras, pero distráemelos’. Andcambio, Luis Aragonés me decía: “Ramiro, hoy ni verte, ¿eh? Quiero que esténconcentrados”.

The Central Works Council (COR) of the Public Broadcasting (NPO) demands in aletter to NPO boss Frederieke Leeflang that TV director Frans Klein resignswith immediate effect. The participation body calls his visit to a TV fair inLondon ‘harmful to the image of the NPO’

The letter was sent in response to reports at BNR that Frans Klein continuesto work and presented himself as an NPO employee in London. The outside worldwas under the impression that Frans Klein is officially at home. This isbecause, according to de Volkskrant, as director of both the VARA and the NPO,he would have been aware of abuses in the program De Wereld Draait Door byMatthijs van Nieuwkerk. In this context, the newspaper spoke of a ‘burnoutfactory’.

The Central Works Council urges the NPO to take the temporary retirement ofFrans Klein very seriously and wants clarification on the matter.

The COR is annoyed that Klein seems to be continuing his work and still seemsto be interfering with current affairs now that an independent investigationis underway into abuses at the public broadcaster. Klein’s role in this willalso be explored. ‘The COR believes that this state of affairs is harmful tothe image of the NPO.’ The NPO, on the other hand, believes that Klein wasonly a ‘listener’ in London.

Interference letter of apology

Earlier there was already a fuss because Klein had interfered with thecontents of a letter of apology from Matthijs van Nieuwkerk. The head oftelevision visited the presenter in the dressing room to fine-tune the letter.

This created the image that Klein had a directing role in the background toattribute to the affair. That image has not disappeared, much to the dismay ofthe COR, as the letter shows. “It should be clear that this does not help tocontradict the image that the NPO Board of Directors is not taking thetemporary resignation of Frans Klein too seriously in connection with theimpending investigation.”

In the letter, the COR mentions ‘rumours’ that Klein even visits the office.COR chairman Fred Kwint does not want to comment on this. We hear the rumours.I’ll wait and see what NPO says first, that seems like a good idea,’ Kwinttold BNR.

According to the NPO, the research will not be completed until the spring of2023 at the earliest. Until then, Frans Klein has resigned and will beformally replaced by NPO genre manager Remco van Leen, who until hisappointment functioned as ‘temporary’ successor to Klein ‘under’ Klein. In theNieuwsuur program, the NPO boss said earlier that investigating who isresponsible for the abuses at DWDD is ‘least important’. This could create theimpression that Leeflang NPO director was protecting Klein.

Klein took part in an international meeting in London on behalf of the NPO. Itconcerns the media event Content London 2022. Participation in this eventalone costs around 1,300 British pounds.

According to a source who also attended the meeting, Klein would haveindicated to other Dutch participants in London that his absence as a powerfultelevision boss is only ‘temporary’. Other sources related to Mediapark joinin that lecture. “Frans thinks he will come back,” a broadcaster said at ameeting this week.
