England's World Cup team puts Christian faith first
When England begins its World Cup run against Croatia in Dallas today, millions of fans will be watching every move, hoping that Thomas Tuchel’s side can win the Three Lions' their first title since 1966.Such a victory would make good on the squad's famous rallying cry, "It's coming home." For a growing number of England’s stars, however, it's a heavenly home that keeps them driven to excel.Guéhi returned for the next match wearing the same rainbow armband but with a different motto: 'Jesus loves you.'The phenomenon was on display in March when defender Marc Guéhi captained England for the first time in a friendly against Senegal. After the match, Guéhi posted a message on Instagram thanking God for the milestone: “Thank you to the Most High.” It was entirely in keeping with a player who has previously written “I love Jesus” and “Jesus loves you” on his captain’s armband and who has spoken openly about putting God at the center of his life.Guéhi is hardly alone.God SquadEngland’s current squad includes a cluster of openly Christian players — including midfielder Eberechi Eze and forwards Ivan Toney, Noni Madueke, and Bukayo Saka — whose habits of praying together and speaking publicly about their beliefs have earned them nicknames such as the “God Squad” and the “Bible Brothers” in parts of the British press.To American audiences, the phenomenon may come as a surprise. The enduring stereotype of English football is one of raucous supporters, celebrity culture, and the hooliganism that scarred the game’s reputation decades ago. Yet beneath the surface, Christianity has become a visible and accepted part of life for many elite players.Saka, one of England’s biggest stars, has made his faith central to his public identity. His Instagram bio identifies him as “#GodsChild,” and in interviews, he has spoken about reading the Bible every night and relying on prayer before matches. "God’s plan is perfect so I can go on the pitch and know that God has my back,“ he has said, explaining that his faith allows him to play with freedom rather than fear.RELATED: Brazil sends off its World Cup team in the most Catholic way possible Jordan Bank/Getty ImagesPrayer on the pitchThe story, however, extends well beyond England’s national team. Across the Premier League, an increasingly visible Christian fellowship has emerged among players from different clubs and nationalities. Arsenal, in particular, has attracted attention for a number of openly Christian stars.One of them is Saka's England teammate Madueke. After scoring against Bayern Munich last season, his first words to reporters were: “I just want to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.” Explaining the bond he shared with his Christian teammates (there are "about 10 of us," he estimated), he told the New York Times: “We believe we have God fighting for us."Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber regularly posts Bible verses before matches and has earned the nickname “Pastor Timber.” “For me, it is a way of life, my faith,” he told the Athletic. “I try to live by it. We pray before games because we have a few Christians in our team, which is amazing. It brings unity and understanding because you kind of live the same life.”Football fellowshipAccording to reporting by the Religion Media Centre, roughly half of Premier League clubs engage with Christian ministries, while about 80% have access to chaplaincy support. Those chaplains are not there to discuss tactics or team selection. Instead, they provide pastoral care — meeting players and staff through injuries, family crises, contract disputes, loneliness, and the intense psychological pressures of professional sports.As Rev. Graham Daniels, a former professional footballer who now leads the organization Christians in Sport, wrote earlier this month, "At a time when many Christians feel increasingly isolated in their workplaces, there is something deeply encouraging about believers opening the Scriptures together in football clubs up and down the country."For players like Guéhi, faith is more than private devotion. It is something to be expressed publicly, even at personal cost. In 2024, Guéhi was serving as captain of Crystal Palace during the Premier League’s annual LGBTQ Rainbow Laces campaign, in which players are encouraged to wear rainbow armbands. Guéhi wore his, but wrote “I love Jesus” on it for a match against Newcastle United. After the Football Association reminded the club that its rules prohibit religious messages on playing equipment, Guéhi returned for the next match wearing the same rainbow armband but with a different motto: “Jesus loves you.” Although the FA again contacted Crystal Palace to reiterate the regulations and Guehi faced the prospect of disciplinary action, the governing body ultimately declined to take formal action against either the player or the club.Imported faithThe prominence of openly Christian players also reflects the increasingly international makeup of...

'Idiotic': Ex-GOP operative lambasts Trump for 'screwing over his partners'
President Donald Trump didn't just fail to accomplish all his objectives in Iran and damage the U.S. economy, former Republican speechwriter Tim Miller told MS NOW's Chris Hayes on Wednesday — he also left Israel in the lurch, after right-wing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went all in on attaching himself to the U.S. president."Something happened, which is that they lost," said Hayes. "The leverage created by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz turned out to be the trump card.""Yeah, the war was idiotic, is what happened," said Miller, a frequent critic of the Trump administration.At the end of the day, Miller continued, Trump "did exactly what everyone thought he had done because it's the same thing he's done his whole career, which is screw over his partners" — and Netanyahu should have seen it coming. "Bibi thought he was going to be the one person, the one business partner that Donald Trump didn't screw over. He screwed over everybody his whole life. He sent a mob to kill his last vice president!"As for the Iran war itself, Miller added, it was "done for" from the very beginning."A lot of folks at commentary in the neocon folks would come after us at The Bulwark, like the former Republicans, and say, oh, you would have been for these sorts of wars in the past," said Miller. "And I'm for freedom for the Iranian people. But the premise of this war was so obviously dumb from the start. And he is humiliated and surrendering right now because he didn't have a good plan and the war was never going to work anyway."All of this comes amid reporting that Trump himself has soured on his support of Israel, in ways that could ultimately boost Vice President J.D. Vance as his heir apparent. - YouTube youtu.be
