🏆🇮🇷 Iran’s national team arrived in TIJUANA, MEXICO, ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup! ❤️

The squad can only enter the United States on matchdays and must leave the very same day.

La seleccion de fútbol de Irán llegó a México, donde se alojará durante el Mundial. Si bien jugará todos sus partidos en EEUU, Trump les negó hospedaje y los obliga a salir del país apenas termine cada encuentro. La FIFA aceptó ese acto de mal anfitrión.

Are national teams going to protest over how unsafe America is? If this was Qatar, we wouldn’t hear the end of it. The hypocrisy is pretty hard to ignore.

The world cup should've been held in Mexico only 🇲🇽

The US have embarrassed themselves

Many Africans are proud of Ethiopia for being the only African nation that was never colonised.

However, they rarely say anything about how when Ethiopia defeated European colonial invaders at the Battle of Adwa in 1896, the Ethiopian army was actually marching under the banner of the Christian Orthodox Church.

This was not even a result of modern European colonisation either, as Ethiopia converted to Christianity 1200 years before transatlantic slavery and 1500 years before Africa’s colonisation, around the same time the Roman Empire was only just beginning to tolerate the faith.
In fact, Coptic Christianity in Ethiopia and ancient Egypt developed entirely independently of European colonial influence.

The Nubian kingdoms of Sudan converted to Christianity in the 6th century AD, influenced by Egyptian Coptic and Ethiopian Christian missionaries. The resulting Nubian Christianity persisted for nearly 1000 years, only gradually giving way to Islam after the 13th-14th centuries.

It was actually Islam that prevented Ethiopia and Egypt from spreading Christianity across the Sahel and into West Africa.

It’s true that Western/Protestant Christianity spread through colonial missionary activity in Sub-Saharan Africa. In places like Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and South Africa, the modern religious landscape was shaped by European missionaries and colonial institutions. But that doesn’t take away from 1500 years of indigenous African Christianity.

So, while Christianity is not originally African, it’s also not originally European, having originated in the Levant in West Asia. In fact, large parts of Africa were Christian before many parts of northern and eastern Europe were.

So, when we focus on just one screenshot of Christianity’s spread by European colonisers as the whole story, it erases a rich chapter of African history while attempting to defend it.

The bigger picture is that there was a continuous tradition of African Christianity that existed for centuries as an African phenomenon, completely independent of Europe.

The People of Senegal will decide on the next President of Senegal not Macron and his colonial Clerks in the Region. It won’t happen!!

Why can't FIFA @FIFAcom cancel this 2026 @FIFAWorldCup since host USA is politicising the game with its foolish war? Or move all games from USA. Some bodies can be completely toothless.

[Ipriest @IPriest6]

The USA might actually be the worst country to host the World Cup

Morocco is the only reason why any African has confidence in their team this year
