The halftime show’s message of love with Chris Martin bopping in the background while the US is bombing Iran and locking up little kids in ICE detention is peak yank BS sorry

Before #FIFA start pumping the propaganda tonight and telling us all how amazing this #WorldCup has been, let’s remember they oversaw:
- highest ticket prices ever and took a cut from resale sites.
- did nothing about Somalian referee and dozens of staff who were banned from entering the US for no legitimate reason.
- stood by as Iran were forced to train outside the US and travel in on match days.
- overturned red cards after phone calls with the president.
- Americanised the beautiful game with hydration (TV) breaks and 25 mins half time in the final
- guided Argentina through the tournament with less travel, VAR support and blatantly turning a blind due to their aggression and foul play.

Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un.
I lost my beloved father yesterday, and my heart feels unbearably heavy. This is one of the hardest moments of my life. Please.. say a heartfelt prayer for him. I pray that Allah surrounds him with mercy, light, and peace in the hereafter.

I came to understand that perhaps Allah sometimes sends isolation and loneliness upon His slave to force him to lose all hope in the creation, and to seek complete comfort in Him, for perhaps He missed His beloved slave’s voice, and wanted to draw him nearer.
