At the 2022 World Cup, Argentina were set to face Brazil in the semi-final. They just needed to beat the Netherlands. FIFA informed the Netherlands that they'd be permitted some drama, but they had to lose by whatever means to Argentina. Argentina led 2-0, pretended to lose concentration and it went to 2-2. But Argentina had been arranged to win anyway.
FIFA quietly informed Brazil that they had to lose to Croatia. That is how Argentina ended up playing Croatia instead. In that game, FIFA instructed Croatia to fold completely. They duly collapsed 3-0.
For the final, FIFA informed France they had to lose by at least two goals. It was becoming too obvious though, so FIFA told the referee to manufacture two penalties for France to make it look competitive.
Kylian Mbappé's hat-trick was authorised. Kolo Muani's one-on-one miss in the final minute of extra time was not an accident. Why do you think France didn't ban him from playing football after that miss? He was wearing a secret earpiece. FIFA called him directly and told him not to score, because a 4-3 France win would have blown the whole operation.
During the penalty shootout, France were permitted to score exactly one of their first three. FIFA did not want Argentina needing a fifth penalty; too much drama, too much risk of someone going off-script.
Africa also had its share of the arrangement. FIFA contacted Portugal and informed them they had to lose to Morocco to guarantee African representation in the semi-finals. Why do you think Cristiano Ronaldo was weeping? He could not believe his own teammates had agreed to the terms.
The evidence is everywhere. You just have to be willing to see it.
My client was skinny fat.
Slim in clothes.
Soft and undefined underneath.
A belly that did not match his overall size.
He had tried the gym twice.
Hated it both times.
Never went back.
I told him he did not need to.
9kg gone in 2 months.
Leaner. More defined. Better body composition than he had ever had.
From his bedroom.
With nothing but his bodyweight and a calorie deficit.
Thread:
Nobody thinks they are eating too much.
Everyone thinks their portions are reasonable.
Everyone thinks they know what is making them gain weight.
Most people are wrong.
Not because they are careless.
Because the most calorie dense foods in the African diet are the ones that nobody ever counts.
The ones that are just part of cooking.
Just part of eating.
Just part of life.
Here they are.

She picked the right story for the delivery of a good message, which helped me connect it to real life!
Please watch and listen I promise it's not a waste of time.
A household with two working-class spouses, yet the man must reimburse his wife for every expense she covers whenever he’s financially down.
Married men on this app are hilarious. Single people give better relationship and marriage advice than them.
There is passion and there is outright petulance.
You can't be shouting at your teammates at 3-0 after scoring a brace.
Osimhen must watch his attitude. This is something he must on.
Iwobi out here playing like prime Zidane.
If we perfect out of possession play. There is no stopping this team.
Credit to Eric Chelle. He has done well in a short period
I refuse to believe we dont have a better defender than Konate in the academy right now. He needs to be replaced ASAP
This guy is practically a bomb waiting to explode every game.

16 Years, IVFs, Miscarriages and Victory
Husband: At seven weeks of the pregnancy of the baby, my wife started having bleeding. We will send you the pictures.
Wife: Some of the pictures, Some of them. In our own room is a sea of blood and tissues. Everywhere you look, blood, tissues, blood in big lumps.
Blood, red, white tissues everywhere.
Husband: We called the doctor, the doctor asked her, is there tissue on the floor coming out? She said yes. Is there white substance there? She said yes.
From the sound of the the doctor's voice after that conversation, I knew. He didn't want to tell her. The babies were gone
Before we started the IVF journey, I said to the Holy Spirit this baby, this is yours. We came to Pneuma City specifically to pray for this baby.
We have tried several alternatives and IVF before, they failed, so we knew it is only God that can help us even though we were going to try IVF again and hope that this time we will become parents. After that cross over service, we came back and started the journey.
When the bleeding started, I prayed. I said to the Holy Spirit
"This thing happening now, will it glorify your name? When people hear it, will it bring glory to your name? I'm saying this. Will it glorify you? Will it bring anything to your name? I called Brother Olaitan, he prayed with me. He said something that was very profound. What are you seeing? What are you seeing? That's what is important.
I grabbed it immediately. I had that in mind before that. That word of wisdom is a confirmation of what I was telling my wife.
When the thing started, I said, keep it. That is what we want, that baby you want, see yourself having this baby in your hand.
Don't look at the blood. Concentrate on what you want. That was what I was telling her.
I don't want to start managing emotional issues. So when Brother Olaitan said, What are you seeing? Confirm what I was telling you. Then I held on to it, and that was what I kept telling my wife.
Don't change that picture. I know it's not possible. Don't go to the left or the right.
See the baby, See how you want it to be. Look at it. Concentrate on the baby you want to have. Don't change it. Don't let sight stop your confession of faith.
I now reach out to another sister: Sister Funmilayo, I felt being a woman she will be able to encourage my wife in a way I may not be able to. She encouraged my wife and helped to lift her spirit.
Then, towards the beginning of that Saturday, we now decided to go to a nearby hospital after all the bleeding
When we got to the hospital, we met the doctor, he ran a scan, and he said there was no heartbeat again, he said the ovum was blighted, and the blood was still gushing out. He said he would have commenced evacuation, but because we did IVF, maybe we should run another scan and get a second opinion.
Wife: So, on that Saturday, all the symptoms I was having disappeared, there was no symptoms again. So, when he referred us to the first time, we agreed, let's wait till Monday, so that we go to where we had the IVF. Let's just calm down, let's wait.
Husband: I kept talking, as I was speaking to her, I was also speaking to myself
On Monday, we went to the hospital where we had the IVF. We had already forwarded the pictures of the blood, the tissues to the doctor, from the countenance of the doctor, when we met him, it shows that he has given up, but maybe as a professional, he was trying to hold himself.
So, let's have a scan. When he started the scan, I was, looking at the doctor.
I saw his facial expression.
Suddenly, there was a fetal heartbeat
It was not there on Saturday night. When we went for that scan on Saturday night, there wasn't anything there. Nothing.
It was the miracle that changed everything. A miscarriage, a blighted ovum, no heartbeat then a word of faith and a word from the Lord and a heartbeat came forth.
The Holy Spirit kept this baby.
He kept her. You know, and from that day, when you look at the scan, you know, the heartbeat was strong.
I can only say glory to God.
And that's why I named her Victorious. She prevailed, she came forth out of the ashes, she is the gift of God to me and my wife after 16 years of waiting to have our own child.
Wife: From the whole experience, I have learned to focus on what I want, what I see, what I want to see, just focus on what you want, just focus on this.
Even when I was going for surgery before the IVF, it was a complicated surgery, because I've had two previous surgeries all in a bid to become a mother.
I encouraged myself in the Lord, I told myself the word of prophecy that went forth was for me, this year I will become a mother. I bless the Lord for doing it. I thank the doctors who helped us through the process and supported us through the journey.
When everything failed and all we could see was blood and tissue, the Holy Spirit preserved our hope and today we have our baby
Her names are Perach Zion, (The flower of Zion), Blossom, Chigozirim, Victorious, Chinedu.
Gloooory!
PS: This is the testimony of Brother Pachiben Chinedu and his wife.
They got married and started trying to have children sixteen years ago.
As expected, they have faced various challenges leading to surgeries and failed IVF procedures.
Yesterday, their baby was christened and I felt it is best to share their testimony to the glory of God and to encourage others trusting the Lord to come out of the waiting room with their babies and testimonies of great joy.

It’s very strange for a team to be without three of their absolute best players away to the champions and the suggestion from the pundits is that they should be pushing for a win.
