Christian Pulisic posted a picture of him and his USA teammates in prayer after their World Cup win.
His USA teammate Mark McKenzie, who led the prayer, replied to the post referencing Ecclesiastes 4:9-12.
So amazing to see USA players praying and sharing scripture.

Harry Kane being fouled 4 times in 10 seconds but not falling because he knows the ref will never call it, then finally being brought down as a free kick for PSG is called is a perfect end to what will be remembered as one of the most blatant cases of corruption in UEFA history.
🚨🗣️ Oliver Kahn on how Bayern Munich got “robbed,” pointing to a penalty incident on Joao Neves and a second yellow for Nuno Mendes not given:
“I’ve been in this game for decades, as player, captain, and now in the club and I have NEVER seen three clearer decisions ignored in one Champions League night. This wasn’t a football match, this was a robbery in broad daylight and every single Bayern fan knows it.
Let’s start with the Nuno Mendes incident. He’s already on a yellow card, everyone knows that. The ball comes in, and his arm is clearly out, there’s a clear handball. Now, we can debate intention all day, but the modern interpretation is about position and impact, and his arm is in an unnatural position blocking play.
That alone puts him in serious trouble. When you’re already booked, you simply cannot take that kind of risk. It’s basic football intelligence. That should be a second yellow card, no discussion. Instead, the referee looks at it and decides… nothing. No accountability, no consistency. So what are players supposed to think? That the rules change depending on the moment?
And then we come to the penalty situation, which for me is even more shocking. Vitinha clears the ball, yes but what happens next is the key point. The ball makes contact with Neves’ hand inside the penalty area. I keep hearing people say, ‘oh, it came off a teammate’, so what? Since when did that cancel out a handball?
The laws of the game don’t say ‘only if it comes from the opposition.’ A handball is a handball if it creates an unfair situation, and here it absolutely does. His arm is involved, the ball changes its path, and Bayern are denied a clear opportunity. At this level, with VAR available, how do you not give that?
And then, to top it all off, you book Luis Díaz for protesting? For reacting to a clear foul that isn’t given? So now we punish players not just with wrong decisions, but for showing emotion about those wrong decisions? This is unbelievable. You are asking players to be robots in moments where everything is on the line.
You cannot tell me Bayern Munich weren’t affected by this. These are game-defining moments. A red card changes everything. A penalty changes everything. Instead, both situations are ignored, and we’re left talking about the referee instead of the football. That’s a problem.
At this level, the Champions League, the biggest club competition in the world, you expect clarity, you expect courage, and above all, you expect fairness.
Tonight, we got none of that. And if this is the standard, then we have a serious issue in European football, because clubs invest everything to compete here, and they deserve better than decisions like these deciding their fate.”
It was fitting for Luis Diaz to score the goal that keeps Bayern within one goal of Paris Saint-Germain ahead of next week's second leg.
The Colombian is in a special category. Technical, dynamic, and capable of spectacular moments, he also plays with a relentlessness that can be immensely valuable.
He does not make the game look easy. Compared to Michael Olise, who glides across the grass and caresses the ball, Diaz plays with clenched fists and a thumping heart.
What a pain he must be to face. What a nightmare for a defender, the way he comes back and back for more.
But what a marvel of a player. And what a goal.

لا أعرف أن كان هذا الأداء من لويس دياز يقترب مما فعلهُ لامين امام الأنتر العام الماضي أم لا .. لكنني مُتاكد أن هذا افضل اداء فردي في حياتهِ كاملة ولا أعتقد أنهُ سيؤدي مثل هذا ال��داء مرةً ثانية ..
لا يغركم ما فعلهُ اوليسي وكين وبافلوفيتش واوبا اليوم
لويس دياز كان يلعب بمقولة " سولو ضد سكواد "
مرعب في صناعة الخطر من اللاشيء او الفوضوية التي يتميز بها وتميزهُ عن غيرهِ ..
اليوم كان الافضل في المباراة وبفارقٍ عن البقية .. 3 سنوات ونصف في ليفربول ولم اشاهد 50% من هذا الاداء ..
اداء للتاريخ .. ويستحق كل كلمة مدح قيلت لهُ .. البايرن نجح بمخاطرتهِ ومقامرتهِ من جديد
• Real Madrid are very very angry [about Camavinga's red card]..
Harry Kane: "I'm sure they are, but they got many things go their way over the years, so..."

This was the start of the Diaz challenge. Whomever fails to understand he was going for the ball is an absolute moron. The fact that Hakimi and Diaz ended up in the final position is an unfortunate development and nothing more
🚨 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧: Luis Diáz, Harry Kane and Michael Olise are the most productive and deadly foward trio in the world right now!
• Harry Kane: 25 goals + 3 assists.
• Michael Olise: 8 goals + 5 assists.
• Luis Diáz: 9 goals + 7 assists.
Luis Diaz is the one I really wish we hadn't sold this Summer.
He has been brilliant for Bayern so far after been brilliant for Liverpool last season.
Gakpo is a big downgrade on Diaz, we all know that.
Diaz went purely for financial reasons rather than football 👍
🚨🇨🇴 FC Bayern reach full agreement to sign Luis Diaz from Liverpool, here we go!
€75m package agreed and authorization for medical also confirmed from #LFC.
Lucho wanted to leave, Liverpool accept the conditions and Diaz will now sign a four year deal at Bayern.
