Christ Jesus our Living Lord God Almighty. By Your Life Passion Death on the Cross and Resurrection, You eternally rid humanity of sin and death. Thanks Jesus✝️
Jesus is taking over the world cup. The international football stage is increasingly serving as a platform for athletes and managers to publicly prioritize their faith over personal glory.
When German midfielder Felix Nmecha scores, his celebration is dropping to one knee, he then mimics removing a crown from his head and placing it on the pitch, physically laying his athletic achievement at the feet of Jesus Christ.
The Curaçao team also was seen praying several times before and after games.
Even the best player in the world Cristiano Ronaldo openly makes the sign of the cross.
This conviction extends directly to leadership. Spanish national team manager Luis de la Fuente explicitly rejects the idea that his pre-game routine is just for luck. When asked about making the sign of the cross before matches, he stated plainly to the press that it is not superstition, it is faith.
