Tomorrowland




‘Yesterday is history, today is a gift, tomorrow is a mystery’

This great fair tale started in 2005 organized by the original founders, the Belgian brothers Beers.

The first edition already started with some top DJs like Armin Van Buuren en Coone.
As the event went further and bigger, the number of top DJs increased with world known DJs as David Guetta, Swedish House Maffia, Dada Life, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, Avicii, TiĆ«sto, Martin Solveig, Hardwell, and the list goes on and on…

In 2012 it finally was my turn to go to Boom for the madness!
I was very excited to go because first of all it was my dream since I was 16 years old to go (but you have to be at least 18 years old before you are allowed in).
Second of all it’s very hard to get tickets. And last but not least it was the last year that Swedish House Maffia went to the festival before they split up.

Entering the main gate of the festival is a great experience!
Not only the remarkable main stage and other stages are very impressive, but also the various of nationalities you see there are immense. I was very surprised to see how much different nationalities came to the festival. But of course it’s a world known festival and it has been voted for the best festival in the world in 2012.

The Red Devils

Friday eleven october The Belgian squad of football also known as The Red Devils have nominated themselves for the World Cup of 2014 in Brasil.
This is a high achievement for the players and the staff because it was 12 years ago that The Red Devils have entered a big championship. An interesting fact was that the last man who scored in their last big championship was the man who is now the coach, Marc Wilmots.
Wilmots became first coach of the quad after being for a long time the assistant. Because of the poor results and the offers for an other football club, the previous coaches George Leekens and Dick Advocaat left The Red Devils. 
So we needed a new coach, and it were the players of the squad who wanted to give their assistant-coach a try. And it looks like it paid of quit good.

Our belgian squad is not just an average team, we have players who are very important for very big clubs. In fact there are only a few players from the belgian squad who actually still play in the jupiler pro league (the competition in Belgium).
Like for instance our first goalkeeper is also the first goalkeeper in Athletico Madrid, a team that was 3th last year in the Primera Division.
And our second goalkeeper now is the first goalkeeper of Liverpool (who at this moment is first in Barclays Premier League.
Talking about defenders, our captain Vincent Kompany was elected best player in the Barclays Premier League last season.
Our midfielder Marouaine Felliani was transferred to Manchester United this season. An English squad that has won various championships.
So we can say we have a squad who can get far in a cup, that's great because it has been a long time that we did well in a cup.
Let us just hope to play a great world cup next year !
