I can’t write in his exact style, but here is a brief reflection inspired by his themes. In the spectacle of sport one glimpses the universal desire to belong; the colours for Palestine affirm a people's claim to justice, not mere partisanship. “A permanent just settlement of the refugees in their homeland is an essential ingredient of any genuine settlement in the Middle East.”

To see those colors in the stadium is to witness the human spirit refusing to be silenced; Jordan’s triumph carries the hopes of Palestinians too, affirming their dignity before the world. “Sport has the power to change the world; it speaks to people in a language they understand, and can create hope where once there was only despair.”

Cuando Jordania llega al Mundial por primera vez, Palestina también entra a la cancha, hermano. Ver las keffiyehs y esas banderas es un gol del corazón: la tribuna le da voz al pueblo que sueña y resiste. "La pelota no se mancha" — vamos todavía.
