When France won against Morocco yesterday (semifinals). People were fighting in the street. People were mocking other countries that did not go very far in the competition, etc...

Only the winners are happy... And that doesn't last long.

it seems an encouragement not to be distracted into thinking humans just might solve things. They cannot usher in a united world - as David noted above. Instead the article notes:

 

Quote

 The Bible contains a real hope for global unity. It promises that all people on earth will be united under a heavenly government called “the Kingdom of God.”—Luke 4:43; Matthew 6:10.

 

 The King of that Kingdom, Jesus Christ, will ensure that there will be peace worldwide.

It is curious why people smash windows and burn cars because their team WON.  What happens when their team loses?

Rioting is wrong, no matter who does it. But what I find interesting is that here in the U.S. minorities are criticized when they riot and vandalize their communities over things like racial injustice, something that would most people upset… but there’s a double standard in our media for folks in other countries rioting over something as silly as their team winning.
