2. This may show that it might have not been Islamic Terrorism at all (ISIS and others rather never did something like this before - plus didn't claim the responsibilty yet, but they might simply wait to see what colour was perpertrator)

 

There are also now apparently 2 version of how the terrorist looked - one that the photographed man was the terrorist, but some other claim that he was a "white, bald man" - but this second version is only cited by some British users of reddit.

 

Always hard to know the truth. There will always be a group who says "MUSLIM!!" as soon as one bullet is fired, and there will always be a group on the other hand who will fight to the end saying it was a "confused lone wolf" or something. 

 

Mostly I don't think something being announced on 4Chan has something to do with it being in any way connected to ISIS or not, it's not like that is all done from one central command center with the same set of rules or something :p

ISIS doesn`t work like we think in my opinion. They spread their people all over Europe, they have some "contact-agents" probably but mostly...they are "normal people" or seem to be normal people hidden or frozen till the attack. In my opinion they work on their own very much and have a free choice of methods and weapons. Since the first "truck" attack some of them just repeat it. But they are not typicull "agents", they are waiting for their moment and there is a lot of them, of this i`m sure, and probably very dangerous muslims are in EACH AND EVERY European country.

 

Another attack is just a question of time, like in DM song. Solution? There is no..apart from...when strong-right parties will really start to win elections and the situation will change.

 

There will also come a time when 1 attack will cross the border...cuz some kid will die or whatever. There is always a border, always and majority always reacts event if we have natural instincts lowered in 21st century. Sadly....from reasons hidden in our "DNA" majority will react and will start to defend from minority, this may be a goal for ISIS, to start sth bigger between 2 cultures and religions

I fell in love with sports.....since i first seen it

That would not make things any better at all. Yes, another attack is just a matter of time and there's no way things like this are even a little bit surprising, but strong-right parties winning wouldn't make terrorist attacks stop or something.

i didn`t mean i like it, i meant action-reaction chain, cause and effect - we won`t change natural or social laws. People will get afraid, afraid people will vote for strong-right parties, sooner or later, repeat of 30s of last century is possible - someone will use this fear politically, it started in France, in some way in HUN&POL to avoid it, from what i read people in Belgium live in "constant fear", well probably those in 3-4 biggest cities. 

 

It all doesn`t look well for today

Attack in Antwerp has been prevented today. Apparently a man tried to run over pedestrians with a car somewhere in the city center...

Did ISIS release a new hit song or something saying that running over people with vehicles is the new fashion? Berlin, London, Antwerp..

    • The NFL are pushing had to develop flag football in Australia in hopes of getting it included in 2032. I hope they fail tbh.   Single gender sports fail the gender equality requirement so netball is out unless they can rapidly fix their gender problem. World Netball not so long ago was refusing utterly to sanction men's international netball or even support the growth of men's netball so they kind of sabotaged themselves and are only changing courses out of self interest because Brisbane was awarded the Olympics.   It doesn't even make sense to propose Aussie rules given how poor the participation is outside of Australia.
    • - Great Britain Team Size Prediction for Winter Olympic Games 2026 Milano Cortina   Ski Sports   Alpine Skiing  (4) - The qualification system is a bit confusing, but from what I gather the team is Guaranteed 2 quotas (one for each gender), and then more are given for rankings. I can only see 1 female qualifying, but the men's team is a bit stronger, and could improve with some juniors coming through. I would say a baseline of 3, with a max of 5, 6 if things really improve.  Cross Country Skiing  (3) - The men's team came 11th in the world cup last year, and with some good results could move up to top 10 which would give 3 quotas, The women's team is non existant.  Ski Jumping  (0) - Nope Nordic Combined  (0) - Nope Freestyle Skiing  (6) - Based on last year rankings, the athletes are ranked: M Moguls (26/30), M Ski Cross (26/32), M Halfpipe (33/25), M Slopestyle (39+40/30) W Moguls (23+42/30), W Halfpipe (3/25), W Big Air (5/30), W Slopestyle (19+22/30)  Barring Injury , thats 2 quotas on the women's side, and I would predict 4 more, with a max team of 7 or 8. Snowboarding  (2) - W Halfpipe (34/25) is the only unknown quota, as both Charlotte Bankes and Mia Brookes should qualify easily. Huw Nightlingale may get a spot for the Mixed Team snowboard cross but I don't know how it works. Biathlon  (0) - Nope Ski Mountaineering  (0) - Nope     Skating Sports   Speed Skating  (2) - Cornelius Kersten and Elia Smelding should qualify, although they both haven't competed this year. Short Track Speed Skating  (2) - A team of 5 went to the world but only a couple could really qualify Figure Skating  (4) - Fear and Gibson should qualify, and the pair team is ranked 16th in the world with 19 qualifiers.      Sleigh Sports   Luge  (0) - Nope Skeleton  (6) - A full team is certainly on the cards, but with only ranking points from the next season counting a lot could change Bobsleigh  (6) - Brad Hall and Co should qualify for both 2 and 4 man. I doubt any more will qualify from the mens side. Adele Nicholl on the womens should also qualify in both events     Team Sports   Curling  (12) - Anything but a full team would be a dissapointment Ice Hockey  (0) - The men were the only chance       Total Optimistic Prediction  -  (60) Total Pessimistic Prediction  - (32)   Total Realistic Prediction  -  (47)

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
