This was one lovely scene to see, even if it was seconds long, it printed a lasting image on peoples mind. Keep game away from politics, and what we get is the pure beauty of football. Panamanian players who struggled hard to get recognized as a country are the proudest people on earth and their expression while singing their national anthem told all of the struggles that Panama as a nation has faced.
Whereas, Belgium, one of the pioneers of world economy also have an unforgiving history so they could have cursed each other after the game but opposite to that they shared a prayer, hugged each other, shook hands and it was a pure beauty of football.
We hope people get the message these two players shared on 18th June 2018 World cup match. We saw two people from different countries with different struggles and hardships share a thankful prayer and things can't be more beautiful than this.
This world cup, we saw Russian President and Saudi Arabian prince shake hands, which showed an early sigh that Worldcup was going to be a super emotional event for the world. As these young players showing the level of positive attitude like never before. We hope the wave of change starts this World Cup.
