The 5 reasons soccer won't increase in popularity after the world cup is over.
1. The flopping. This goes against the soul of every American. We value grit, toughness and basically not being a pussy.
2. The clock. No one wants to get to the end of a game and have no clue when it's over. Just stop & start the clock when you need to, like sane people.
3. Offsides. Just put a line out there like everyone else. This floating line you have makes the game unwatchable. It's like a built in, anti-excitement glitch you manufactured for your game.
4. Red cards. What a stupid rule that you automatically get kicked out for the next game for getting one. I can understand suspending someone after a league review of something you did that was horrible. But to automatically get suspended because of what a ref saw at full speed is stupid.
5. Ties. In America we call it kissing your sister, cause that's the same feeling you get after a tie. Pure disgust. In soccer, it seems like the result you prefer most. Play til you have a winner.
In contrast, the voice of the Lord is not “a voice of a great tumultuous noise, but … it [is] a still voice of perfect mildness, [like] a whisper, and it [pierces] even to the very soul.”
In order to hear this still voice, you too must be still!
We live in a time prophesied long ago, when “all things shall be in commotion; and surely, men’s hearts shall fail them; for fear shall come upon all people.”
That was true before the pandemic, and it will be true after. Commotion in the world will continue to increase.

Isaac: ...but after placing me on the altar, a messenger from the Lord told Abraham NOT to kill me
Nephi: Yeah, that's not what my messenger said - 😂
Isaac: 😂
Abraham: 😂
Laban:
I believe the Bible to be the word of God as far as it is translated correctly; I also believe the Book of Mormon to be the word of God. The stories contained in these books strengthen me in difficult times. I am thankful for them now more than ever.
