It's not about the national football team, whose prospects are long gone, but about faith in God.
Human ingenuity generates possibilities, some not so close to reality, but they work for some people.
"God is a concept by which we measure our pain," Lennon said.


That's how suffering gave birth to religion, where the mother gives birth to the chosen one through the work of the Holy Spirit. Nothing of flesh and blood.
And let's not even talk about the Lord's love for his servants, which came in exchange for conquest.


The majority of the population, identifying as Christian or Catholic, embraces spilled blood, and not exactly Christ's.
Everyone is baptized or eventually goes to mass.
Especially when desperation takes hold.
Human beings believe they understand everything, but they don't have all the answers, and while one is found, ten more questions arise.
Some call it placebo, others a lie, but the truth is that the need to look to the heavens and ask—imagine—give thanks about something more... transcendental? grand? powerful? benevolent? is part of humanity.

The question is when it becomes the only option, the only support, and the only possibility that sustains existence.


It's there that it becomes improbable, because the truth weighs heavily.
No power has ever alleviated the pain of greatness, but within it, there is beauty in those who live and practice faith daily, and not just when unease becomes a necessity.
