Spain vs Argentina in the final? Barça fans can't lose.
🇪🇸 Spain wins? We cook. 🇦🇷 Argentina wins? We still cook... Ronaldo fans.
Either way, the grill is staying on. 🔥😂

🎵 Never Going Back – A Soundtrack for This Generation
So Never Going Back by Gaise Baba and Lawrence Oyor, hit the internet and it went viral, young people love it, but recently, I have been seeing videos of a pastor and some Christians criticizing the song and I can’t stop thinking about the message of the song and the reactions it has sparked amongst us christians .
Here’s the thing: teenagers and young adults today are some of the most difficult people to reach with the gospel. Why? Because they’re constantly being influenced by friends, social media, entertainment, and everything in between. In a world that glamorizes drugs, promiscuity, money-worship, and “love” that fades faster than a Snapchat story, we finally get a song that boldly centers Jesus and personal transformation, that our youths are vibing too and some of us are criticizing it? What is wrong with us?
Let’s take a step back.
The lyrics say: "Ife Jesu lo wa mi ri, to gbami ku o"—“The love of Jesus sought me, found me, and died for me.” That’s the gospel, in Yoruba rhythm and sound! Yet all some people can talk about is Gaise’s hair color, his blinks, the headband on Lawrence’s head and the dance steps in the song. Really?
Someone said, “I go narrow, dem think say I no know road o.” Isn’t that what the Bible teaches? Narrow is the path that leads to life. Didn’t Jesus say He came for the sick, the lost, the sinners? Will every gospel singer be Dunsin and Nathaniel?
Instead of focusing on the outward appearance of the ministers, what if we focused our hearts on praying that:
Out of 4 million streams, at least 400,000 youths would genuinely surrender to Jesus.
Another 400,000 who are still searching would encounter the Holy Spirit and find salvation.
The rest would be stirred to rededicate their lives and stay rooted in Christ.
Wouldn’t that be worth celebrating?
Here’s the truth: whether we like it or not, someone is influencing your children, your teenagers, and your youth group. If they’re not listening to something like Never Going Back, they’ll be listening to something else and let’s be honest, a lot of what’s out there isn’t helping them know Jesus.
When we publicly condemn songs like this, directly or subtly, we shut the door to one of the few tools actually speaking the language of the street with the heart of the cross.
I’m not a pastor, but I know this: Jesus came and died for sinners. None of us regardless of titles, appearances, or backgrounds is better than another, we’ve all simply found favor of God and are trying to live a life that pleases our Heavenly Father.
So rather than criticize, let’s pray. Let’s encourage. Let’s support gospel expressions that speak to this generation in their own rhythm.
Haba!! some of us are still “saving the ark” and we are not even aware of it. May God help us all.
XoXo

🚨 Some personal news, at the end of May, I’ll be leaving The United Stand. 🚨
Being part of this platform has been an incredibly rewarding experience. From hosting Countdown to Kickoff and deadline day streams, to editing fan driven videos and helping shape our social content, it’s been a wild, exciting, and non-stop ride.
I’ve learned so much about presenting, producing, and creating for a passionate, engaged audience, and I’ve loved every second of it. Whether it was going live in high-pressure moments or trying to get TikToks out before full-time, I’ll always be proud of the work we did.
A huge thank you to Mark Goldbridge, for your trust, guidance and belief from the start. And to the wider team, you’ve been nothing but brilliant. Funny, supportive, talented people who work incredibly hard behind the scenes.
I’m now looking into new opportunities in journalism, presenting, communications, content and promo work, so if you’re working on something or are interested in promotional support, feel free to drop me a message. Would love to chat.
Thank you all for the support, and I’ll see you on air tonight for a massive game, let’s get to the final. YANITED!

This was posted by a Sporting fan in November about Amorim. Everyone should read it.
1 - Don't expect a miracle: This is the absolutely most important point of all, hence why I open with it. When Amorim took charge of Sporting he also started midway through the season (although much later on), and at the end of that season Sporting finished fourth, worse than the usual third at that time. Amorim needs months to implement his style of play (which I'll touch upon later on), and, just like Sporting at the time, Man Utd's team is not very compatible with it. With that said:
2 - Expect "big players" to leave: Amorim will most likely sell players that might have been huge assets to the team previously, but simply don't match his style and may even detract from it (more on that in a bit). If you look at the team Amorim inherited when he took charge of Sporting and the team with which he started his next season, you'll see what I mean
3 - Locker room management: Amorim has always made it a stipulation that the players he manages are positive influences on the locker room dynamics, getting rid of players that might be huge assets but otherwise damage the team in some way. As examples you have Marcus Acuña, which was one of the best players Sporting had at the time, but as he was extremely hot headed, and so was immediately sold on the first transfer market window under Amorim, and Islam Slimani, which returned to Sporting as a fan favorite and immediately started scoring goals, which our main striker wasn't doing. Slimani, however, started getting cocky, and was immediately pushed to the sidelines and left after only half a season.
4 - Tactics/formation: Expect a 3-4-3 every time, all the time. Amorim barely deviates from this formation, instead changing the players in the starting eleven depending on the characteristics he wants the team to display.
5 - Transfer policy: As previously stated, Amorim most likely won't even consider someone who could destabilize the team's backroom dynamics, and that means a lot of big, established players are unlikely to join as tensions could arise from that, and if Slimani's case shows anything is that Amorim would rather have a strong team union than individual stars. Due to this, expect Man Utd to sign more young and/or lesser known players, also likely for cheaper, that have large amounts of potential (this was the exact model that brought players like Gyökeres to Sporting).
6 - Youth academy: If Amorim can get any players from the youth academy, he definitely will. Strangely enough, Amorim is one of the few well known Portuguese managers that has this sort of youth academy policy, which is funny because almost every Portuguese manager follows it, they're just not well known.
7 - More than 11 players: If Amorim is given enough time at Man Utd, expect him to assemble a team where the players sitting on the bench are just as capable as the ones on the pitch, differing only in what aspects are stronger in their game.
