The Incredible Truth Behind THIS Viral Photograph

- 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. - Sport

Checkers say: Mostly true, lacking context 😏
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
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* 😂
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.
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!
I want to hire him in my Football Manager to improve my post-Messi Barca team.
Confession: I don't actually like football but your content is pure gold. Yet another brilliant video.
Same lol
Lovely, another HITC Sevens video from Sir Alfie of Potts-Harmer… nothing better than this
When i saw the game live, i knew that a HITC Sevens would arrive
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.
You talk about football for about 3 minutes in total and yet this was the most interesting video I saw today.
Te amo
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).
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 🤷🏽♂️
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 😉
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

why not
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?

@@lordpembridge303 Thanks. I could've remember the autonomous region of Moldova.
I've been waiting for this one 😅
Thanks, Alfie, for never disappointing your audience 😁
Been waiting for this one 🙌
We do appreciate the lengths you go to release great content like this. Nice one mate!
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.
shout out suriname from guyana!!
Always interesting and well made, thanks mate.
Alfie, you deserve 100% of that ad revenue.
Also, didn't know Thanos was Surinamese...
African Thanos Hahahahahahaaaa....
Great video as always, please keep these coming🔥🔥🔥
I've been looking forward to this video since I first saw that photograph.
You've killed it with this vid 👏
He's where I'm from and I kinda feel proud of it... he's also my vice president 🤣🤣
Suriname 🇸🇷
I was waiting for this one
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.
Another excellent, funny and educational masterclass, thanks Alfie
Please do a video on Macclesfield FC. I’m from there and it seems interesting because Robbie Savage is involved.
this is an amazing video. history and football. two of my favorites
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.”
This is a very well done video
Brilliant, thank you
HITC Sevens discovers what every CONCACAF resident has already known: our continent's football is a meme.
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
It's good to see that Ronaldo kept his late-Real Madrid days shape... 😌😌
World-class research, job very well done 💯
The wit and sarcasm that you slide into these videos never cease to make me laugh
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
CONCACAF stories could be a channel all its own
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.
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
7 national teams with most potential or something along those line.
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.
We need that concacaf series
I'm so happy you gave a shout out to football manager
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.
Was waiting for this video😂
Just got back from a wedding at 4:30 in the morning in 🇨🇦 what a nice treat this is
If your boss does sack you, im going to war for you Alfie
Some good research on the person
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.
Day 24: Best XI made of club captain. (Current players)
NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL CONCACAF!
So funny to see my mother’s country being represented on HITC
Welcome to concacaf my friend this stuff only happens here.
I am deeply sorry but this Ronny guy is pretty sympathetic
HE DID THE VIDEO IM SO HAPPY
looks like he's carrying a bag of flour under his shirt.
That brunswijk for ya 🇸🇷
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 😂
Just another day in concacaf
Nice one 🇸🇷
Do a lets play of you playing fm with him at hull
He has 132 children,i am from suriname😁
This is normal in suriname elected officials having a extended rapsheet.
how the heck does this video only have 55K views?
Dankie Jong
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.
Any more of the ones. What's going on with 'insert club name here' ones there the best in my humble opinion.
A documentary on the bad situation at Oldham Athletic this season
I find it more astonishing that anyone would believe ANYTHING that's posted on Twatter in the first place.
5:42 hinting at your next long form video there, Alfie? :P
Video idea: The corrupt tenure of former fai CEO John Delaney
Yeah, you can probably make a whole new channel just with CONCACAF stories
He is what rick ross wishes
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
He looked ok in the highlights i saw. I'm on his side!
I sense a backlash against overly long backgrounds/setting the scene sections in videos.
Can you do a documentary style video on why Watford keep sacking their managers
63, rested & at his peak hahaha
19:01 classic Alfie move 👏🏻😂
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 ?
Miura: finally a worthy opponent
Here's a Concacaf focus video idea. Why is Jonathan Bornstein a national hero in Honduras?
It dosen't matter how old you are. You want to play Football.
Welcome to our magical, awesome and all mighthy concacafquian universe.
Only in 🇸🇷 , I know because is my country 😉😁
Only in CONCACAF 🤦♂️
I should also mention that this was another brilliant video - thank you Alfie for bringing the knowledge and the laughs!
