As a follow-up to my article on the #WorldCup2022 for @PillarCatholic, a couple of notes on religious aspects of this tournament.

1. This is the first time the World Cup is being played in a Muslim country, and only the second outside of the traditionally Christian world. The first was South Korea & Japan in 2002.
2. 2002 also marked the furthest a traditionally Muslim country ever progressed in the World Cup, with #Turkey placing 3rd, after beating South Korea in a very exciting game.
Xhaka doing what appeared to be the Albanian eagle as his celebration after that amazing goal vs Serbia... spot of Balkan politics there #SERSWI
This is an unexpectedly great match...
Incredibly, one of the other Swiss players of Kosovan background Shaqiri scores what appears to be an injury time winner against Serbia and also celebrates in same way - probably all the Russians supporting Serbia too
