Découvrez les Diables Rouges à travers le regard des gens qui les aiment ! Le podcast "Un Diable, un jour" recueille les témoignages et histoires personnelles des proches des Diables, allant des membres de la famille, aux professionnels en passant par les amis-collègues et les supporters. Par leurs nombreuses anecdotes, chaque épisode triptyque dresse un portrait intime de notre équipe nationale.

Les Diables Rouges sont également des fils, des amis, des collègues, des pères, épicuriens, sérieux ou blagueurs. Un dénominateur commun les rassemble : la joie du jeu et le besoin irrépressible de gagner. Qui est réellement Kevin De Bruyne, selon son tout premier entraîneur Rudi Schelstraete ; Yannick Carrasco, selon sa maman Carmen ; ou encore Axel Witsel, selon sa femme Rafealla ? A côté de ces portraits familiers, ce sont les confidences "off" de professionnels comme Vincent Vincent Langendries et Philippe Albert que le podcast dévoile. Et pour compléter le tableau, l'univers des Diables Rouges ne serait rien sans tous les clubs de supporters qui existent aux quatre coins de la Belgique : les 4meDiables, Obelgix et Fabelga, les Diabolux, les Formidiables, les Diaboulets... pour ne citer qu'eux.

En 10 épisodes d'environ 20 minutes, c'est plus d'une trentaine de personnes qui nous livrent leurs vécus. Outre ce regard inédit sur la vie et la personnalité de nos athlètes, "Un Diable, un jour" est également un micro ouvert sur la Belgique, un road-trip des Ardennes à la côté belge, et une occasion non négligeable de se sentir fièrement belge.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

Hatoppgjør&nbsp;er en fotballpodkast som ikke først og fremst handler om spillet i seg selv, men om alt det rundt. Om hvordan fotball noen ganger nærmest kan være et speil på samfunnet. Lidenskapen supportere har for laget sitt er ofte bygget på ting som stikker mye dypere enn idrett, og rivalisering mellom klubber kan handle om alt fra fascisme og Mussolini, protestanter mot katolikker, eller om streikebryting på 1900-tallet. Opptøyene som oppstår når det er dette det spilles om på banen, kan føre til både hærverk og bombetrusler, grov vold og drap. I denne podkasten får du høre historiene om hva som faktisk ligger bak noen av verdens mest intense fotball-derbyer.

Dikembe Mutombo: A Towering Legacy of Shot-Blocking Dominance and Humanitarian Impact Dikembe Mutombo, one of the most dominant defensive players in NBA history and a revered humanitarian, passed away at the age of 58. Known for his extraordinary shot-blocking abilities and his iconic finger wag—a playful yet intimidating gesture he used to signify his presence on the court—Mutombo was a force to be reckoned with both on and off the hardwood. Mutombo’s journey from a young boy in Kinshasa, Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), to becoming an eight-time NBA All-Star and a respected global ambassador for health and education in Africa, is a testament to his exceptional talent, perseverance, and generosity. Over his 18-year NBA career, Mutombo made a name for himself not only as a premier shot-blocker but also as a pillar of the community, using his fame and resources to give back in numerous ways. Early Life and Education Dikembe Mutombo Mpolondo Mukamba Jean-Jacques Wamutombo was born on June 25, 1966, in Kinshasa, the capital city of the Democratic Republic of Congo. He was the seventh of twelve children in a family that valued education and service to others. His father was a school director, and his mother, a homemaker, instilled in him the importance of learning and giving back to society from an early age. Mutombo’s childhood was marked by an emphasis on academics rather than sports. He excelled in school and dreamed of becoming a doctor. His towering height made him stand out, and while he played soccer and other sports casually, it wasn’t until his teenage years that he began to explore basketball seriously. By the time he was 16, Mutombo stood nearly seven feet tall, drawing the attention of scouts from around the world. In 1987, Mutombo moved to the United States on an academic scholarship to attend Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. His plan was to study medicine, but Georgetown’s legendary basketball coach, John Thompson, saw immense potential in the young Congolese student and persuaded him to join the basketball team. Mutombo’s career trajectory changed forever. College Stardom at Georgetown University Under the guidance of John Thompson, Mutombo quickly developed into a defensive powerhouse. He teamed up with fellow Georgetown standout Alonzo Mourning, creating one of the most formidable frontcourts in college basketball history. Standing 7’2” with a wingspan of over 7’6”, Mutombo became known for his exceptional shot-blocking and rebounding abilities. During his time at Georgetown, Mutombo led the Big East in blocks and rebounds multiple times, earning Defensive Player of the Year honors. His most memorable collegiate moment came in a game against St. John’s, where he recorded an astounding 12 blocks, sending a clear message to opponents that driving into the paint would be a daunting task. Off the court, Mutombo was equally committed to his studies, graduating with degrees in Linguistics and Diplomacy. He was fluent in nine languages, including French, Portuguese, and Spanish, a testament to his dedication to learning and understanding different cultures. NBA Career: A Shot-Blocking Legend In 1991, Mutombo was selected as the fourth overall pick by the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Draft. He made an immediate impact as a rookie, averaging 16.6 points, 12.3 rebounds, and nearly three blocks per game. His presence in the paint transformed the Nuggets' defense, and he was named to the NBA All-Rookie First Team. Mutombo’s shot-blocking prowess reached legendary status in the 1993-94 season, when he led the Nuggets to an unforgettable playoff upset over the top-seeded Seattle SuperSonics. In a pivotal Game 5, Mutombo dominated defensively, recording eight blocks and securing the victory with a clutch rebound, falling to the floor in joyous celebration as he clutched the basketball. This iconic image of Mutombo on the ground, holding the ball with a smile, became one of the most memorable moments in NBA playoff history. Mutombo’s reputation as the league’s premier shot-blocker only grew as he moved to the Atlanta Hawks in 1996. Over the next five seasons, he solidified his status as a defensive anchor, winning four NBA Defensive Player of the Year awards—a record he shares with Ben Wallace. His average of 4.5 blocks per game in the 1995-96 season remains one of the highest in league history. Mutombo’s signature move, the finger wag, became synonymous with his defensive dominance. After swatting an opponent’s shot, he would shake his index finger side-to-side in a gesture that signaled his mastery of the paint. Although the NBA later attempted to restrict the finger wag, Mutombo’s playful nature and respect for sportsmanship ensured that it became a beloved symbol rather than a taunt. The Humanitarian Giant While Mutombo’s on-court achievements were remarkable, his off-court contributions were equally impactful. Inspired by his own upbringing and the health disparities in his homeland, he dedicated his time and resources to improving health care and education in Africa. In 1997, Mutombo established the Dikembe Mutombo Foundation, which focuses on providing better health care and educational opportunities for people in the Democratic Republic of Congo and other African nations. His most significant project was the construction of the Biamba Marie Mutombo Hospital in Kinshasa, named in honor of his late mother. Opened in 2007, the hospital has provided life-saving medical care to tens of thousands of people, many of whom would have otherwise gone without treatment. Mutombo was also a global ambassador for the NBA, representing the league in various outreach programs around the world. He promoted health initiatives, youth development, and the importance of education, embodying the values of service and leadership. In recognition of his humanitarian work, he received numerous awards, including the NBA’s J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award and the President’s Volunteer Service Award. Later Years and Passing After retiring from professional basketball in 2009, Mutombo remained active within the sport and his foundation. He served as an advisor and mentor to young players, both in the U.S. and internationally. His influence extended beyond basketball, as he continued to advocate for better health care infrastructure and education in Africa. Dikembe Mutombo’s death at the age of 58 shocked the sports world and beyond. His passing leaves a tremendous void not only in the basketball community but also in the lives of those he helped through his humanitarian efforts. The cause of his death has not been officially disclosed, but his legacy as a transformative figure in basketball and an unwavering advocate for his homeland will be remembered for generations to come. Legacy and Impact Mutombo’s influence transcends statistics and accolades. While he left an indelible mark on the court with his eight All-Star appearances, three All-NBA selections, and a place among the top shot-blockers in NBA history, it is his generosity and compassion that define his legacy. From his legendary finger wag to his life-saving work in the Congo, Mutombo’s legacy is one of excellence, kindness, and resilience. He showed the world that sports can be a vehicle for change and that greatness is not just measured by titles and awards, but by the lives you touch and inspire. Dikembe Mutombo may no longer walk among us, but his spirit and dedication to making the world a better place will continue to inspire. He was more than just a basketball star—he was a true humanitarian giant, a global ambassador, and a hero for many. His legacy will live on in the countless lives he impacted and in the stories of perseverance and triumph that he helped shape.
