Iceland’s equalizer came barely two minutes after England’s goal, and their winning goal followed a little over ten minutes later.

Reflect
According to the gospels Jesus spent much of his time with the outcasts, the poor and the sick. He raised the profile of women and children in a society where both were often seen as less important. He challenged the educated elite.
He told his friends "So the last will be first, and the first will be last.” (Matt 20 v 6)

May this World Cup prompt us not to misjudge the ‘under dog.’
