How do we turn the World Cup loss into a victory?

It is no longer hidden that the judging in the Egypt-Argentina match was biased, a fact acknowledged by well-known foreign analysts. I am not concerned with the World Cup itself, but rather with reading events in a way that fosters awareness.
In recent years, even the common people have witnessed the political and moral collapse of the international system, whether in Gaza or the "Epstein" scandal. Now, we see another collapse, this time in the field of sports. Perhaps the greatest lesson we must learn is: why do we insist on measuring ourselves by standards set by others, on platforms owned by others?
This international system, which you strive to succeed by its standards, does not want you to succeed—not even in sports—and does not want your morale to rise, even by a false victory that changes nothing in your reality. It politicizes everything, from the Nobel Prize to sports.
What do you expect from those who punished judges of the International Criminal Court for applying some law to the Zionists? What do you expect from those who prevented the Somali referee from reaching the World Cup, while FIFA claimed this was an American sovereign decision they would not interfere with—yet intervened to allow LGBTQ+ slogans in Qatar’s World Cup? What do you expect from FIFA after canceling the red card given to the American striker?
Is it rational to keep striving for success by their standards? Stop thinking—my brothers—about succeeding by others’ standards, for clinging to this success is itself a failure and enslavement.
Many Muslims measure their worth by the scales imposed by the international system and capitalist sharks: How much do you own? What is your degree? What is your title? How do you look? How do people see you? How many followers do you have? Which team won? And so on. Thus, humans exhaust themselves in a race whose track they did not choose.
As long as you wait for a system to say, "You are successful," you have given it the power to say, "You are a failure." As long as you derive your morale from its platforms, it can lift you one day and crush you the next.
Use this shock to rethink: Have you succeeded in what you were created for? Have you acquired beneficial knowledge and mastered a craft that builds you and your nation? Have you truly established justice? Have you resisted oppression?
In every field, we have our own standards—including sports, scientific excellence, and literary achievement—that lead to true success. But if we keep our eyes fixed on their platforms, waiting for them to certify our worth, that is not success, even if we win every match.
True liberation begins when you drop their standards from your sight. The most dangerous thing that can happen to us is not losing a match, but spending our lives trying to win a game whose field, rules, and referees were chosen by our opponent—and then being convinced that this is the only possible success.
If this incident awakens us and pushes us to reject their standards and strive for true victory, we will have turned defeat into triumph.
Peace be upon you.
