Kijk dat we wereldkampioen worden in 2030 weten we al. Dat we Europees kampioen worden in 2028 ook. Maar we hebben ineens zo'n gevoel dat we de Nations League, toch het meest prestigieuze toernooi van de drie, ook gewoon gaan pakken. Duitsland hebben we al vernederd met een gelijkspel en nu gaan we de Serven in scherven hakken. Van de Serven kennen we sowieso alleen Tadić, en Servië verloor thuis van Griekenland, terwijl we van Griekenland alleen Charisteas kennen, dus kun je nagaan. We zullen die MLADICLOVERS eens flink uitserveren, op een Delfts blauw bordje met Oranje servet. We hebben Wout Weghorst niet eens nodig, Zirkzee is erbij en Meerdink maakt er vanavond vier en Gakpo één. Xavi die bezorgd ons met zijn Cruijffiaanse gebaren (zie foto) en Cruijffiaanse voetbal (zie de Bommel-Gakpo-goal tegen Duitsland) zonder moeite de overwinning. LIVE kijken doet u bij de NPO. LIVE meeleven doet u hieronder. LIVE brullen doet u op uw bank.

Over-by-over updates, England set Sri Lanka 356 to win
1st over: England 6-0 (Banton 5, Duckett 0) Asitha Fernando has an early LBW appeal against Ben Duckett turned down. It pitched fractionally outside leg stump and would probably have swung past leg. That aside, it was plumb.
Tom Banton gets the first boundary with a cracking cover drive. “Classic cover drive to an outswing bowler,” purrs Nasser Hussain on commentary. “Perfection.”

A year after the death of Giorgio Armani, the Italian fashion house he founded in 1975 is facing increasing uncertainty about its future ownership.
In his will, Armani, who ruled over the business for 50 years, instructed his heirs to sell an initial 15% stake of the company within 18 months of his death. If a private sale does not materialise, an IPO is mandated to take place. Now there are reports the group is readying itself for formal talks with the French conglomerate LVMH, the beauty giant L’Oréal and the eyewear group EssilorLuxottica – three of Armani’s preferred acquirers – over the possible sale of a minority stake.

Swiss voters have decisively rejected a proposal for a strict definition of neutrality that would have required Switzerland to curb cooperation with Nato and abandon sanctions against Russia.
All cantons and about 70% of voters rejected the proposal for a strictly defined version of neutrality to be written into the Swiss constitution, final results from the Federal Statistical Office showed. The motion had been promoted by the far-right Swiss People’s party (SVP).

Club deny wrongdoing and say ‘process is ongoing’
Tony Pulis has said his Stoke City team was “cheated” out of the 2011 FA Cup after Manchester City were found guilty on virtually all counts of breaching Premier League financial rules.
Pulis’ Stoke lost the 2011 Cup final 1-0 after Yaya Touré’s strike. Yet following Friday’s news that City are guilty on all but one of the more than 100 charges laid by the Premier League in February 2023, Pulis feels serious discontent. City are expected to appeal and they deny any wrongdoing.

Early one morning, feeling desperate, Katherine went on to her phone and asked ChatGPT how to make her life work.
She plugged in her work hours, her husband’s work schedule, the days she had childcare for her three-year-old, the school hours – plus before- and after-school care times – for her six-year-old; the flexibility her job offered her, the supports she had from grandparents, and asked AI if it could help her make things feel a bit better.

“It came as such a shock. I just can’t believe he’s gone.”
Psychologists are accustomed to seeing bereaved individuals. But working with Jodie* presented a unique challenge – she’d never met the person she was grieving. Jodie was reeling after the recent death of a well known singer. Despite not knowing the singer personally, Jodie’s grief and loss seemed as palpable as other patients speaking about the deaths of family members or loved ones. Jodie reported that weeks after the singer’s death, she was struggling to attend work and was sleeping poorly, describing herself as consumed with thoughts of the singer.

My sister lives in Ukraine; I live in Australia. We had gone five long years without seeing each other when we finally reunited during a trip to Los Angeles. One day we took my three-year-old son to the beach and spent the afternoon catching up.
We had a lot of conversations about people and kindness that day. I told her how I had noticed a softer side to men since having a son. As a woman, you’re often wary of construction workers, for example – what might they say to me when I walk past? But now when I pass a building site with my son, the workers often let him play with their radio, or beep a tractor to make him laugh. It was very heartwarming and gave me a whole new perspective on the other sex.

Scientists are racing to understand how fires behave as hotter summers turn green landscapes into tinderboxes
From the scorched heathlands of the New Forest to the smouldering valleys of south Wales and burned-out homes in Stourbridge, an extraordinary summer of wildfires has left its mark across Britain.
To most of us, these charred landscapes may look like pure devastation, but to a trained wildfire investigator they are full of clues. Heat-scorched leaves can become frozen in position, preserving evidence of the wind direction as the fire passed through. Soot or staining on rocks, the pattern of fallen grass and bracken, and even how those stems have burned, provide further information about how the fire itself moved.

It's the software engineers who are losing their jobs to AI, not the weed trimmers, pawn shop workers, garbage men, and grocery store workers. In these novels and in this economy, even the extralegal jobs, despite being precarious on their head, have become more stable than most.

De vredesmanifestatie in Amsterdam werd zondagmiddag bezocht door een brede waaier aan demonstranten: van Poetin-verdedigers tot studenten die bezorgd zijn over de dienstplicht. Volgens hen is Nederland bevangen door een ‘oorlogskoorts’. „Ik vind dat er in het debat te weinig aandacht is voor diplomatieke oplossingen.”
