It happened because 7/11 worked harder, practiced more, and remained a team. Use the same technique elsewhere, victory/success will visit you and remain with you forever because it is God’s promise.

Gud player, but pogba did really well in final
Is mbappe muslim
no
No. Is christian
Yeh good… but shouldn’t they respect the Muslim’ belief when they shower shampion?
Am not against your religion but Pogba and Mendy should stop deceiving their selves and adopt real Islam name. How can you call your self a Muslim and yet you bear the name paul and Benjamin? You should bear umar Pogba and Musa Mendy. Paul and Benjamin is a Christian name. Congrats to France for their achievement at the world level.
What are you talking about, you do realise they do not need to change their name. I urge you to do some research before spouting such comments.
Peace!
As long as the names do not have bad meanings they are not required to change them. Islam also prohibits cutting ties with the lineages
Whats in a name dear?
A rose by any other name would be just as fragrant !
By the way, a Muslim is one who submits his/her will to single Almighty God Allah, and can have whatever good name he/she chooses.
Stop being extreme in understanding of this beautiful religion Islam.
What is in name even we all jews Christian and Muslim are Ibrahimic
fyi, it’s not haram to have name non Arabic.
Prophet Muhammad sws hadees that u don’t have to change the name when u are reverted
As long as the names do not have bad meanings they are not required to change them. Islam also prohibits cutting ties with the lineages
Kya dhakkan log hai yaar , match jeet gaye aur inn ko iss baat ki padhi hai ki players muslim hai
Despite rss hatred and propaganda, these dhakkan log–read Muslims are still the fastest-growing religion believers in the educated and developed world !
Ankit is a paid troll learning about Islam from authentic sources in Muslim mirror, good sincere effort !
Well done… proud of u….. Allah bless u……
Lovely.. May Allah bless you all in future.
Well played. May bless you to win in future.
that’s not adil rami thats a picture of fekir
Congratulations may bless in future….
@ankit people can criticize if a terrorist happens to be a Muslim but not be proud when the people in world cup winner team are Muslim..
Double standard

Congratulations
I love France.
Well done.
