The Incredible Truth Behind THIS Viral Photograph

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ต.ค. 2021
- In September 2021, a photograph went viral on social media which appeared to show the 60-year-old Vice President of Suriname, Ronnie Brunswijk, playing for Inter Moengotapoe against CD Olimpia in the CONCACAF League.
Brunswijk is a colourful character, to put it mildly, the former leader of a guerrilla group in the north of Suriname, who is on Interpol's 'Red Notice' as an internationally wanted criminal who was convicted in a court in the Netherlands.
So in this in-depth documentary, HITC Sevens profiles Ronnie Brunswijk, giving context to the viral photograph of him, and explaining how he ended up being Suriname's Vice President and a professional footballer at 60. - กีฬา
I was wondering when you'd be covering this one. If there's ONE guys that can cover a topic that combines football and politics. Another solid one by Alfie ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽
Big fan of your channel 🔥🔥
👍
Thanks :)
love your content mate
I’ve subscribed and will watch some of your videos in the morning as the titles sound interesting
The internet has awarded you the Fact Checker medal for your outstanding efforts in verifying truths behind viral stories that most people take at face value.
🏅
Checkers say: Mostly true, lacking context 😏
Wow, that FM reference... The co-op with Zealand needs to happen, especially on CONCACAF! :)
Wonder how many Surinamers are watching this.... I'll start *ME* 😂
As someone who’s born and lives in Suriname, this man “Bigi Bravo” aka Ronnie Brunswijk is again lowering the bar. I really hoped this was not getting so much buzz, boy was I wrong. This man is a disgrace to my country. You forgot about the rape allegations during the war. His political views and his support make him feel and act like a God.
good luck lad!
That's what I call concacaf series sounds absolutely perfect
I still love Alfie taking shots at his boss even in a different video lol
i'm a bit new to the channel. who is his boss? and what does HITC even stand for?
As a political scientist this was very interesting and well done. A real reminder to pay attention to even the small countries. Everywhere has a story to tell.
When i saw the game live, i knew that a HITC Sevens would arrive
Confession: I don't actually like football but your content is pure gold. Yet another brilliant video.
Same lol
You talk about football for about 3 minutes in total and yet this was the most interesting video I saw today.
Te amo
I want to hire him in my Football Manager to improve my post-Messi Barca team.
Lovely, another HITC Sevens video from Sir Alfie of Potts-Harmer… nothing better than this
Before anything else, thanks for the videos Alfie. :)
Could you make a video on the starting XI that feature when Slovakia beat Denmark 3-0 in 2018? The Danish team weren’t allowed to play. Thus, players from Danish 2nd tier and even the futsal team had to fill in.
It's not that the Danish first team weren't allowed to play, they refused to because of a wage dispute with DBU (Danish FA).
Suriname is probably the lesser known country with the most interesting football stories, both good and bad. On the good end, there are a lot of Dutch players of Surinamese descent, as mentioned. On the bad end, besides the story of Brunswijk "regime", there is also the crash of Surinam Airways flight 764 in 1989 carrying, among other passengers, the _Colourful 11_ which was an exhibition team of Dutch football players of Surinamese descent travelling to play with the champions of the Surinamese top flight. 15 players were killed, and three more had their careers ended because of the injuries sustained.
I'm ready to fight in the HITC war
Alfie! Love to see the Concacaf love! Great to know you’re back from that vacation because unironically, these videos do wonders for my mental and physical health 🤷🏽♂️
2:16 Play for the club you own..Sigma Male Grindset rule 101123
why not
Always in for a good one with a ‘truth behind’ video even if Alfie’s boss doesn’t like these videos 👍
We are Alfie's boss, he should make his own channel and become a free man. #FreeAlfie
Sheriff did good in champions league so far with two wins in group stage
One of those wins was against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Will be interesting to see the reception Real get when they visit Moldova?
@@archstanton6102 *Transnistria
@@lordpembridge303 Thanks. I could've remember the autonomous region of Moldova.
Bouterse: bow-tur-suh, with the emphasis on "bow". That was some excellent butchering you did there 😁Great video, thanks!
That's the worst name I've ever heard. Yours I mean.
@@wolfmauler great to know, thanks for sharing 😂
Rather "Boaw" than "Bow"
Because A bow (as in bow and arrow) is pronounced in dutch as Bo...
The "Bou" part in Bouterse for english speakers is "Boaw"
@@agb.88 I can only bow down to your superior explanation 😉
I've been waiting for this one 😅
Thanks, Alfie, for never disappointing your audience 😁
Been waiting for this one 🙌
Alfie, you deserve 100% of that ad revenue.
Also, didn't know Thanos was Surinamese...
African Thanos Hahahahahahaaaa....
We do appreciate the lengths you go to release great content like this. Nice one mate!
Always interesting and well made, thanks mate.
7 active players who have scored against the most different clubs
A documentary on the Sutton united rise last season in winning the league pls Alfie
How the league started in October 2020 and everything
This dude needs a TV show. A movie about him would be too short.
Great video as always, please keep these coming🔥🔥🔥
I've been looking forward to this video since I first saw that photograph.
Please do a video on Macclesfield FC. I’m from there and it seems interesting because Robbie Savage is involved.
Another excellent, funny and educational masterclass, thanks Alfie
You've killed it with this vid 👏
Can you please do a video about the A-League? We've hit international headlines for Perth signing Sturridge and Newcastle pursuing Jack Wilshire. Australia would like some degree of recognition
Damn, Sturridge fell off.
shout out suriname from guyana!!
I was waiting for this one
He's where I'm from and I kinda feel proud of it... he's also my vice president 🤣🤣
Suriname 🇸🇷
Brilliant, thank you
this is an amazing video. history and football. two of my favorites
World-class research, job very well done 💯
This is a very well done video
Hi Alfie, could you do a video on the seven most successful teams in history that no longer exist
Ohhhh, wow that's a good shout
Like who?
@@youlittlerocket I don't know, that why I think a video would be interesting because it would be on an obscure subject
Some of the early FA cup winners
RWD Molenbeek? Although it ''technically'' exists, in truth, it was dead a long, long time ago.
It's good to see that Ronaldo kept his late-Real Madrid days shape... 😌😌
CONCACAF is the wild-west of world football and I wouldn’t have it any other way. While the confederation is getting better and more talented (particularly in the US, Mexico, Costa Rica and arguably Honduras) you’re always going to get weird stories like this and I’m here for it. I’m from U.S. and follow CONCACAF closely. When this story broke. Myself and others from here were like “Yeah this checks out.”
An idea for a video - a starting XI made up entirely of double barrel surnames. And where that team might finish in the PL
Thought u said double barrel Surinamese. Just spent ages thinking of a partner for Van Dijk and wondering if his name even qualifies as double barrel
A documentary on afc Wimbledon series on nine years in eleven years pls
How the f a allowed the move to happen
And why they won’t allow that to happen again
Hey Alfie, I was wondering if you'd ever consider Twitch streaming? You've built a pretty big community and I'm sure you'd do great FIFA or FM streams.
HITC Sevens discovers what every CONCACAF resident has already known: our continent's football is a meme.
CONCACAF stories could be a channel all its own
The wit and sarcasm that you slide into these videos never cease to make me laugh
Congratulations for your beloved Hull City's victory yesterday by 2-0 at home against Middlesbrough to move to 21st by 8 points,good friend Alfie!!!:-D
We need that concacaf series
7 national teams with most potential or something along those line.
Hey HITC, as a fellow suriname native i commend for covering our oh so greatfull vice-president (with all his other accomplishment) 😂💀
But hey for de most part you were accurate👍
Keep up with these types of videos man i enjoy every single one of them🤙🇸🇷
The stadium they played in is not named after Brunswijk. Inter MT home stadium in Marowijne is named after him. The one IMT played in concacaf league is the Frank Essed Stadium, because the Ronnie Brunswijk stadium doesn't qualify for international matches.
Please, make a video about what on Earth is going on in the Baltic football leagues (specially Latvia and Lithuania). Almost all the clubs that had been champions were dissolved or merged with other clubs.
Just got back from a wedding at 4:30 in the morning in 🇨🇦 what a nice treat this is
Some good research on the person
I'm so happy you gave a shout out to football manager
Was waiting for this video😂
So funny to see my mother’s country being represented on HITC
Any more of the ones. What's going on with 'insert club name here' ones there the best in my humble opinion.
looks like he's carrying a bag of flour under his shirt.
If your boss does sack you, im going to war for you Alfie
Welcome to concacaf my friend this stuff only happens here.
Do a lets play of you playing fm with him at hull
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL CONCACAF!
5:42 hinting at your next long form video there, Alfie? :P
HE DID THE VIDEO IM SO HAPPY
I would definitely would watch a Now that is what I call CONCACAF from a person who lives in central America, and also, I want to meet the Football manager developers, they seem to do their homework really well
Day 24: Best XI made of club captain. (Current players)
I am extremely so happy to see Suriname and football club Inter Moengotapoe's vice president Ronnie Brumswijk sir as a 60 year old played for his own club despite ended up being defeated 6-0 by CD Olimpia(Honduras' side),good friends!!!Even though,he is a good but controversial person,he somehow worked extra hard to play for the club that he co owns at this age which is indeed extremely so remarkarble which I fully praise and give a salute on him,good friends!!!Hopefully,despite both the respective clubs have been suspended from the CONCACAF in their tournament,I fully hope that they would rise extremely so strongly in near future and to see Ronnie sir maybe playing his beloved club again and slowly develop Suriname into a war free country and clench his convictions by accepting the punishments which the courts over there would decide to hand over while maybe still playing football,good friends!!!:-D
What are you even talking about
@@elbestmarko17 Did you watch this video,good friend?:-D
You must be one of these brainwashed ABOPers of him
@@Omarfagenherkul To whom you have replied with your comment,good friend?
Was waiting for this one 😂 if this would’ve happened in Europe people would’ve been all over this 😂
He has 132 children,i am from suriname😁
A documentary on the bad situation at Oldham Athletic this season
Nice one 🇸🇷
This is normal in suriname elected officials having a extended rapsheet.
That brunswijk for ya 🇸🇷
To give a little more insight on what happened after the Olimpia match, the money given more as a gift, still stupid from the Olimpia players as gifts are obviously not allowed. Weirdly Pedro Troglio allowed this party vibe to happen in the dressing room and celebration. Apparently the celebration comes from the fact he rigged the score succesfuly as the last couple of goals defending was especially bad to say the least and his team missed a penalty comically bad. Olimpia players have been trolled to death as there were national team regulars, players that have appeared in the world cup even, involved and way to well financially to be thrown out of the competition like this.
I am deeply sorry but this Ronny guy is pretty sympathetic
how the heck does this video only have 55K views?
Just another day in concacaf
Dankie Jong
Could you please do a video about Southend United we currently free fall just wanted to draw your attention to it.
What’s happening now? Is the club ok ?
Can you do a documentary style video on why Watford keep sacking their managers
Welcome to our magical, awesome and all mighthy concacafquian universe.
Yeah, you can probably make a whole new channel just with CONCACAF stories
Here's a Concacaf focus video idea. Why is Jonathan Bornstein a national hero in Honduras?
I'm happy to march down to London aswell. Altho I recommend we get the train
Great stuff, no matter what Alfie's boss thinks. I am very, very on board with "Now That's What I Call CONCACAF!" The FIFA sub-fiefdom best and often described by Roger Bennett as the Star Wars cantina of world football. Escobar-ish strongman politician-owner-midfielders! Ridiculously large football grounds! Payola! Referee extortion! Paying good $ to have your team trounced 6-0! It's all just so very Concacaffy.
I sense a backlash against overly long backgrounds/setting the scene sections in videos.
Video idea: The corrupt tenure of former fai CEO John Delaney
19:01 classic Alfie move 👏🏻😂
He looked ok in the highlights i saw. I'm on his side!
Miura: finally a worthy opponent
I find it more astonishing that anyone would believe ANYTHING that's posted on Twatter in the first place.
Best Antarctic XI if all players declared for them.
He is what rick ross wishes
Only in CONCACAF 🤦♂️
I should also mention that this was another brilliant video - thank you Alfie for bringing the knowledge and the laughs!
