Yes, we\u2019re all excited to see if France will be scoring another cup for the second time in a row, or if Messi will ever live up to the dream of winning a cup for Argentina in his career. But can you imagine what it would be like if Lebanon made it to the finals and actually won? Here\u2019s what we think would happen. 1. The French have Les Bleus<\/i>, the Argentinians La Albiceleste<\/i>\u2026we\u2019ll call ourselves the Cedars<\/b> Very creative and original and never before used. It\u2019s either that or the Phoenixes (lol please don\u2019t). 2. Our uniforms? White, brown, and blue<\/b> To symbolize snow, sand, and water because we ski and swim on the same day. 3. The cup would disappear much like those busses the French donated to Lebanon<\/b> It\u2019ll probably be around Stephanie Saliba\u2019s neck before the final score is called. 4. Conspiracies will arise<\/b> \u201cAyya safara de3me l faree2 l lebnene?\u201d \u201cMafhoumeh, hay kella 7atta ymasho tirseem el 7doud\u201d 5. Vendors will be naming sandwiches after the team<\/b> And imagine if the team beat France? You better believe the sandwich will be named after the score. 6. A national holiday will be announced to celebrate <\/b> The anthem? Lebnan rah yerja3<\/i> because we should definitely be correlating that to a World Cup win. 7. And the Phoenicians rah yenharo on Twitter<\/b> Headline: Lebanon Is The First Arab Country To Win The World Cup \u201cLEBANON IS PHOENICIAN NOT ARAB!!!$$@!!!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
