Often times i have observed players in a soccer team coming together before the start of a soccer match to "pray" before the kick off of their match against an opponent.

I'm always baffled and i need to ask, do you think God involves himself in things like soccer and other sports?

The CREATOR will definitely be involved if the activity is good and beneficial to people. HE cares so much about our wellbeing... It's just that humanity have been so blinded and forgotten how loving HE is.

I believe HE will answer such prayers if there are good reasons to... For example, a humble underdog team playing against a proud, more skilled and godless one. GOD can miraculously intervene in this case to humble the proud team and lift up the humble one

The humble, underdog team should have been out there doing mission work rather than playing in sports.

Its the belief and each and everyone have their own method to boost themselves and keep the spirits high. Well there are sayings too that when all come together and send the positive vibes the universe listens more quicker than individual doing it. Now if something has worked for someone they will continue to do it and rest will not.

If you don't have a God or your beliefs is different then you have to respect theirs as they believe in their God that it will bring them good luck when they pray before the game starts. I also pray before eating and if you ask me it is the same as praying before you start playing. Those teams are praying and hope God will bring then good luck and far from accidents during the game and that also shows their faith in their God.

Do you not believe in god.....

God is in your life - also in the world of sports, if God is not involved in sports games - all the teams playing will freeze....Who do you think decides a person's good and bad luck - himself or God, misleading question.

The question is, when you are traveling or doing other activities, do you pray for your safety first?
soccer is also like that because soccer has a big risk so they pray for safety so that things don't happen that are not desirable and also they can play well and produce good results, especially safety when playing.
and every association or team that will carry out an activity will definitely do this for the sake of safety, and also I often travel with friends using a motorbike and before leaving do the same thing and for safety.

and I think things like that need not confuse you because they have become commonplace and the goal is the same.

God is everywhere and we should honor God in all the things we are doing, we ask for guidance, safety strength, God should be the center of everything we do so I see nothing wrong on the sports team and competitors praying, you need not baffle and ask about why people are praying, majority or almost all people are praying even if they are commuting, eating it's something that gives us stregth.

I think we should look away from God in the sport when it involves humans, but I know of the presence of God in everything we do. But to me, in the game of football, God is just an in-spectator.

Its a ritual they do when something it about to happen. Just like having a dinner, christian family will pray thanking God for the food they are about to eat. In sports, its also practiced by the team. It could mean they are united as a team and even in their beliefs.

Somehow its sort of asking for guidance or blessing from god when done it sports, I can see many boxers do the sign of the cross even Russian boxers.

Everyone is praying to win, but still I believe on destiny and if you are destined to win, you’ll win and that’s because of God’s perfect timing, so I believe prayer works. Though we should not fully rely on this, we can ask for God’s guidance but we still need to work on it and prove that we deserve to win, hard work always pays off.

First the team and players play on the ground to their full extent in hope to win against the opponent. The prayers to god give them moral support and confidence as they believe that god can change the game in their favor.
Also in some sports like hockey, its a common practice to gather around in the circle before the start of match and motivate each other.

Somehow players ask guidance towards their actions or decision to be made so provably those players pray before their matches do that just to boost their confidence and skill set since believing on something positive to us can actually lift our spirit. Although god is not directly involved towards sports but since he is our creator then provably the feeling being guided can help the players to perform well on their matches.

I don't know if it's really about religion.
I'm sure that there are players who have no belief and yet join with the team to "pray" because they know that this has a very positive impact on the team's self-esteem.
The players' motivation is a fundamental factor for a good performance on the field, so I think it's a "valid", of course.

When you go to place your bets, has there ever been a time when you ask for "spiritual strength" or something like that?
Even though a bet depends only on luck and technical issues, I always believe that something "exceptional" can help.

God is involved everywhere and everything that happens in the universe is by the will of God (Allah). Therefore teams join together before the match and pray to the god to help them for the victory in the match. This shows their believe in god.

Also note that only praying to god and not working hard in the match, won't give you success. The secret here is that perform best in the match and leave the results on god.

If you assume God (like in the modern religion) exist, then He is all knowing and cares for his beloved creation (human), so yes. But the problem is none of us knows whether or not God exists, or if it exists, what kind of God He is.

If you were destined to win, why bother praying? It's odd and illogical concept. If you are destined to win the olympics, but you never train, and only eat dirty foods, do you think you can still get the medal?

PS: IMO this thread is more suitable on the politics and society board.

No, if you ask me, players do this to increase their morale nothing more, nothing less. it's no different from what ritual/superstition (no offense to religious people) other players do before the game starts or during the game. if God doesn't intervene with all the shit that is going on in this world why would he intervene in a soccer match?

If people believe in God, then they also believe that God is everywhere, including sports. It is a very personal question that we can't argue with. The problem is that nobody can proof that God exist, and nobody can proof that God doesn't exist. If it makes the player be more focused and play better being religious than its good.

it is a suggestion that is always done by people who believe in god and football players or other sports of course have a god they believe in. btw, i believe in god and before doing any activity i always pray, when i finish doing it i'm ready to face my day. sometimes when placing the lottery i always pray to win, it looks ridiculous but it has become a habit lol.

There is no divine intervention in sports, maybe the players and the fans is just looking for something to help them, in this case a prayer, to break them "good luck" and win the game.

However, the outcome is not determine by God or any divine person. And we all know that not just in gambling, but in any other form that we need some certain form of luck, we always pray and hope that it will be a positive outcome or favourable to us.

Actually sometimes it is not about the God or any one that will provide what they are asking but it is the belief that made them things possible .

with their faith they believe that if giving all the best will at least gives more opportunity to win , so basically it is the Positive that attracts another positive. its just that the God of whom they believe is the reason how they can achieve the winning.
