People are claiming that Morocco is the first African team to make it to the semi finals of a World Cup but that's false. France not only made it to the semi finals numerous times they even made it to the finals and won the World Cup!
The clear historical reading of Sodom and Gamorrah and the sin of H0m0sexuality according to the Early Church, lest anyone tells you that Christianity was never against this sin.
1) St. Athenagoras of Athens, Plea for Christians ch. 34
But though such is our character (Oh! Why should I speak of things unfit to be uttered?), the things said of us are an example of the proverb, "The harlot reproves the chaste." For those who have set up a market for fornication and established infamous resorts for the young for every kind of vile pleasure — who do not abstain even from males, males with males committing shocking abominations, outraging all the noblest and comeliest bodies in all sorts of ways, so dishonouring the fair workmanship of God (for beauty on earth is not self-made, but sent hither by the hand and will of God) — these men, I say, revile us for the very things which they are conscious of themselves, and ascribe to their own gods, boasting of them as noble deeds, and worthy of the gods.
2) St. John Chrysostom, Homily 4 on Romans
Consider how great is that sin, to have forced hell to appear even before its time! For whereas many thought scorn of His words, by His deeds did God show them the image thereof in a certain novel way. For that rain was unwonted, for that the intercourse was contrary to nature, and it deluged the land, since lust had done so with their souls. Wherefore also the rain was the opposite of the customary rain. Now not only did it fail to stir up the womb of the earth to the production of fruits, but made it even useless for the reception of seed. For such was also the intercourse of the men, making a body of this sort more worthless than the very land of Sodom. And what is there more detestable than a man who has pandered himself, or what more execrable? Oh, what madness! Oh, what distraction! Whence came this lust lewdly revelling and making man's nature all that enemies could? Or even worse than that, by as much as the soul is better than the body. Oh, you that were more senseless than irrational creatures, and more shameless than dogs! For in no case does such intercourse take place with them, but nature acknowledges her own limits. But you have even made our race dishonored below things irrational, by such indignities inflicted upon and by each other. Whence then were these evils born? Of luxury; of not knowing God. For so soon as any have cast out the fear of Him, all that is good straightway goes to ruin.
3) St. Augustine, Confessions Book 3 Ch. 8
Therefore those offenses which be contrary to nature are everywhere and at all times to be held in detestation and punished; such were those of the Sodomites, which should all nations commit, they should all be held guilty of the same crime by the divine law, which has not so made men that they should in that way abuse one another. For even that fellowship which should be between God and us is violated, when that same nature of which He is author is polluted by the perversity of lust.

St. Nikolaj Velimirovic, "Words to the Serbian People Through the Dungeon Window": Europe knows nothing other than what Jews serve up as knowledge. It believes nothing other than what Jews order it to believe. It knows the value of nothing until Jews impose their own measure of values [...] all modern ideas including democracy, and strikes, and socialism, and atheism, and religious tolerance, and pacifism, and global revolution, and capitalism, and communism are the inventions of Jews, or rather their father, the Devil.
World Cup thoughts:
From a sports perspective this was a good tournament with much controversy, I personally believe the elites hoped that this tournament would be an organizational failure since many redditors and libtards at the start of the tournament were pressuring Qatar for their anti-LGBT stance. I believe this was a declaration of war by the western elites against the Muslim world, just like how they tried to soyify Christianity and infiltrate it, they've now clearly indicated that they're not just fine with indoctrinating Muslims in europe (which was a big reason for the refugee crisis in the first place) they want to bring that indoctrination with them to the Middle East. It will be interesting to see how this war fares out and how long it lasts. I believe over the generations we will definitely see more Muslims in name only preaching LGBT interests.
England, not learning their lesson from the UEFA Euro Finals tried to be heroes again by championing for LGBT rights but not only did it fail, they lost to France, a team full of mercenaries in the quarter-finals. Even their white players were non-french! (Lloris is half-Spanish, Giroud is Italian, Griezmann is half-German half-Portuguese) Teams like France completely destroy the whole point of a competition between nations.
Like many World Cups, this one had a dark horse: Morocco. It's amusing how quickly Moroccan players were gassed up and became obnoxious, saying that their success is evidence for Islam, when they lost to a 0 diversity fully Christian Croatia, and the World cup was won by a fully white Christian Argentina. I suppose by the logic of the Moroccan players finding the smallest opportunity to preach for their "allah" we should be Christians since Christians as usual won the World Cup (Even France, a very "diverse" team has many Christians).
Another pleasant thing about this world cup was how the western puppet clown Zelensky was denied from giving a speech before the final. The official Ukraine twitter is absolutely fuming with being shoved aside as they should.
The final from a sports entertainment aspect was amazing and I feel bad for those who missed it. Argentina and France's style of play are very reminiscient of the two very different ideologies of diversity and homogenuity: Argentina despite having the GOAT of Football was still a very underwhelming team, most of their players were not in elite level club teams, for example MacAllister plays for Brighton, an at best mid level team in the Premier League. France on the other hand were full of elite players, this is supposed to be the advantage of diversity, but what we see with diversity is the lack of homogenuity that Argentina brought to the table, Argentina played excellent team football and for most of the match, they completely disarmed France to the point where France had an expected goal of 0.0 until the 70th minute. The only reason France even had a chance at winning this match is because of Mbappe who curiously I'd like to point out, dates a transexual model. At the end of the day, though the two ideologies in this match seemed very close, from a quality stand point, homogenuity showcased the important values of high trust, teamwork, responsibility and high effort, whereas diversity was bailed out by lucking out on one of their superstar players to do all the work for them.

St. John Chrysostom, Homily 1 Against Jews: Many, I know, respect the Jews and think that their present way of life is a venerable one. This is why I hasten to uproot and tear out this deadly opinion. I said that the synagogue is no better than a theater and I bring forward a prophet as my witness. Surely the Jews are not more deserving of belief than their prophets. "You had a harlot's brow; you became shameless before all". Where a harlot has set herself up, that place is a brothel. But the synagogue is not only a brothel and a theater; it also is a den of robbers and a lodging for wild beasts. Jeremiah said: "Your house has become for me the den of a hyena". He does not simply say "of wild beast", but "of a filthy wild beast", and again: "I have abandoned my house, I have cast off my inheritance". But when God forsakes a people, what hope of salvation is left? When God forsakes a place, that place becomes the dwelling of demons.
But at any rate the Jews say that they, too, adore God. God forbid that I say that. No Jew adores God! Who say so? The Son of God say so. For he said: "If you were to know my Father, you would also know me. But you neither know me nor do you know my Father". Could I produce a witness more trustworthy than the Son of God?
If, then, the Jews fail to know the Father, if they crucified the Son, if they thrust off the help of the Spirit, who should not make bold to declare plainly that the synagogue is a dwelling of demons? God is not worshipped there. Heaven forbid! From now on it remains a place of idolatry. But still some people pay it honor as a holy place.
