You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You are the same decaying organic matter as everything else.

Since all eyes are on the Egyptian team today, it’s worth reminding the world that Christians are practically banned from playing top level football in Egypt.

Despite being 10% of the population, only two Christians have played the national team in the past 36 years. Not a single one has played for Egypt since 2003.

The former Ajax striker Mido said in 2018 that the discrimination is obvious and that only 5 Christians have ever plaid in Egypt’s top clubs. He suggested a 10% quota for Copts should be introduced in all clubs to end the discrimination.

Ironically, the Egyptian coach made the new “X for racism-sign” recently introduced by FIFA during today’s game to signal to the referee that the Egyptian team was experiencing racism.

But religious discrimination has clearly never bothered him.

FIFA has also been unwilling to do anything about the longstanding issue of severe underrepresentation and systemic discrimination against Christians at youth, club and national levels in Egypt.

Christians are effectively excluded in practice, with virtually none reaching the senior national team or top domestic clubs in recent decades.

The exception is Hany Ramzy. The a Christian defender who earned 120+ caps for Egypt in the 1990s and early 2000s.

Estimates suggest that fewer than a dozen Copts have played at the highest domestic level in the last 50+ years.

Multiple independent reports, player testimonies and comments from figures like Coptic Pope Tawadros II and Muslim former player Ahmed Hossam (“Mido”) have highlighted the discrimination:

- Youth trials and club signings where Christian names lead to rejection or pressure to change to a Muslim-sounding name.

- Stories of players hiding tattoos (the common Coptic cross on the wrist) or identity in their efforts to advance.

- Similar underrepresentation is also noticeable in other sports (zero Copts in Egypt’s 2016 Rio Olympics delegation of 122 athletes)

The Egyptian coach made a big point of flying the Palestinian flag in the World Cup and keeps repeating “Free Palestine.”

Yet, he has never spoken about the fact that Egypt didn’t give sovereignty to the Palestinians in Gaza when Egypt was occupying it 1948-1967. Likewise, while he won’t stop claiming that there is discrimination of Muslims in Israel, he refuses to acknowledge the religious discrimination in Egyptian football.

Haaland bought a rare manuscript that tells the story of Norway and their eventual conversion to Catholicism.

He bought the Heimskringla saga for 1.3 million Norwegian kroner (around £100,000 / $134,000) and donated it to his hometown library.

Written by the medieval Icelandic scholar Snorri Sturluson, the manuscript is a foundational text detailing the history and legends of Norway’s early Norse kings.

It includes the reign of King Olav Haraldsson (St. Olav), the monarch who historically solidified Norway’s conversion to Christianity
