What did you miss?
NAC Breda calls it “deep and deeply sad” that the home game against Willem II was stopped because of objects on the field.
In a joint statement with the municipality of Breda, the police and the Public Prosecution Service, NAC writes that “a small group of ill-wishers deliberately put the Evening NAC of many benevolent supporters at risk and even endangered it”.

Standing in line for an hour or sometimes even longer for a popular fries or cookie: TikTok queues are not an unknown phenomenon in Amsterdam. To the chagrin of residents and entrepreneurs who see the sidewalk blocked.
For example, a popular chip shop has to deploy security guards and pick up litter because of the daily long queues. There are even ‘row managers’ at a biscuit shop, says shopping area manager Scharenborg of the Negen Straatjes.
“On the one hand, it is nice that some things are successful. On the other hand, it causes a lot of inconvenience to entrepreneurs in the vicinity. It is very twofold,” says Scharenborg.
These tourists explain why they queue for fries because of TikTok:
Happy Saturday!
