Context: I’m a Belgian-Turkish guy and completely apolitical (like, I genuinely don’t give a single fuck about politics, whether it's Belgian, Turkish, or international).

I have a tight group of childhood friends, mostly Turkish. They were totally shocked when I told them I was going to support Belgium in the match against Turkey. They practically treated me like a traitor.

I grew up watching Belgium shine since the 2014 World Cup (I was 12 back then and I still haven't forgotten that match against the USA in 2014) while Turkey had been absent from World Cups until 2026. Isn't it only natural that I’d get more emotionally attached to the Red Devils than to my country of origin's team?

Anyway, just needed to get this off my chest ^^

Given the crisis in petrochemicals and heavy chemicals caused by high energy costs, along with Chinese competition in pharmaceuticals, do you see a more optimistic future for the chemical sector as a whole, particularly in Western Europe ?

I'm looking for an iOS app to follow the World Cup. A simple app with the schedule, the standings, and the team squads, including player stats when you tap on their profile. If possible, one that shows the stadiums and so on. Basically, an app to fully immerse myself in the World Cup experience.

With Aston Villa's victory, we're rid of Sporting. This leaves us with the following table for the 2nd qualifying round:

Fenerbahçe	Hearts
Sturm Graz	Second of Polish Championship

So, Fenerbahçe will draw either the Scottish shock team of the year, Hearts, or the runners-up of the Polish league (which will come down to Górnik Zabrze, Jagiellonia, or Raków).

Once this round is over, here is the table in case the favorites (Fenerbahçe and Sturm Graz) qualify for the 3rd round :

Lyon	90% of chance Union Saint-Gilloise
Olympiakos	Sturm Graz
Bodo/Glimt	NEC Nijmegen
Fenerbahçe	Sparta Prag

Important note: I put Union Saint-Gilloise at 90% because Club Brugge will probably be champions, but if they choke and finish second, Fenerbahçe will no longer be Seri Basi !

And if we also win this round, we'll head to the playoffs (aka the final round), where unfortunately we won't be Seri Basi anymore. Here is the table in the event that Fenerbahçe and the three clubs with the highest European coefficient points qualify :

Lyon	Fenerbahçe
Bodo/Glimt	Olympiakos

And if we get through this round, we will officially be in the Champions League !
