I was reading Surah Yusuf today, and Allah answered a question many of us are afraid to ask.
If you’re wondering why;
your marriage is delayed,
why children haven’t come yet,
why the job hasn’t opened,
why relief feels far
Surah Yusuf answers it quietly.
The craziest thing about World Cup month is realizing where you were in life during the last one. Shit I still remember watching my first World Cup game ever. A 4-year gap means your job, your relationship status, your friends, and your entire life situation are completely different, but you're sitting watching a random group stage game at 1 AM on a Tuesday. Football is a time capsule.
🚨🚨 EXCLUSIVE: ARNE SLOT AND LIVERPOOL TO PART WAYS WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT. 💣
It’s over between the Dutch manager and Liverpool after end of the season review. 👋🏼
Andoni Iraola, clear favorite to take over as next #LFC head coach.
@privzaarax A day before Eid (usually before Ramadan) where the guys act like animals, do laps in their cars. And when women dance and get their henna done
🚨🎙️Thierry Henry on the new 2026 World Cup ball that needs to be plugged in and charged before kick off:
“Football is finished. Completely finished. We are charging footballs now? Charging footballs before kick-off like they’re iPhones? And people still want to tell me this sport has ‘romance’ left?
The biggest sport on earth, the most emotional game in the world, and now the football itself has a battery inside it like it’s a smartwatch. Think about how insane that sounds for a second.
“They keep calling it ‘progress’, but sometimes I look at modern football and honestly wonder if we’re slowly killing the soul of the game.
Back in my day, the ball was a ball. You kicked it, you controlled it, you scored. Simple. Now we have sensors inside the ball, 12 cameras watching every blade of grass, computers tracking every heartbeat, and VAR officials sitting in a room deciding football frame-by-frame like it’s some science experiment.
And don’t tell me this is ‘for accuracy’. Accuracy for who? Because all I see is the game becoming more robotic every single year. Strikers can’t celebrate goals anymore because they’re waiting for a microchip inside the ball to tell them if someone’s shoelace was offside three passes earlier.
You score a goal now and nobody celebrates properly anymore. The striker looks at the linesman. The fans look at the screen. The referee puts his finger to his ear. Then everybody waits 90 seconds for a laboratory decision from people sitting behind monitors.
The funniest part? FIFA will market this as ‘innovation’. Innovation? No. It’s control. Football was the most human sport in the world because of emotion, controversy, chaos, mistakes, that’s what made people fall in love with it. Now everything is engineered.
Soon they’ll have AI referees, automatic red cards, and maybe balls that vibrate when a player dives. We laugh now, but look how fast this nonsense is moving.
And people wonder why old-school fans say modern football has lost its soul. We went from street football to Silicon Valley football in less than 20 years.
Imagine telling Ronaldinho, Zidane, or R9 that one day the World Cup ball would need charging before a final. They would think you were joking.”
Modern football keeps calling itself ‘evolution’. Sometimes it looks more like the death of spontaneity.”
