It sounds like a scene from a Chuck Norris thriller–and who knows, it may become one–but this was a real covert operation carried out by U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets) and Delta Force commandos. While tanks, planes and smart bombs were the undisputed stars of Operation Desert Storm, highly trained commandos conducted a masterful–if unpublicized–sideshow. Navy SEALS swam up to Kuwait beaches, dismantling underwater mines. Commandos inside Iraq cut fiber-optic cables to military leaders in Kuwait, used laser beams to pinpoint air targets, even gathered soil samples to determine the best invasion routes....

Ramos was included in Robert Moreno’s XI for a Euro 2020 qualifier away to Norway on Saturday, with qualification in their sights.

The clash against Germany will be a repeat of the 2010 World Cup semifinals in South Africa, where Carles Puyol settled the score as Spain ran out 1-0 winners on their way to eventual tournament glory.

This time out, the video focuses on Spider-Man’s Negative Zone suit. The suit, in addition to making Spider-Man look tough, makes the web-crawler practically invisible.
