Diogo Jota's widow Rute Cardoso shares heartbreaking anniversary tribute: ‘Death do us part'
Rute Cardoso, the wife of Diogo Jota, has paid tribute to her late husband, marking a month since the couple got married. Liverpool star Jota died aged 28 in a car crash in Spain on July 3 along with his 25-year-old brother Andre Silva, who was also a professional footballer in their native Portugal. In a post on Instagram, Cardoso shared photographs from their wedding day on June 22 as the reality of the situation hit home with five heartbreaking words. 'One month since our 'til death do us part',' she said Tuesday, adding she was 'forever' his. Jota married his long-term partner Cardoso less than two weeks before the crash. The couple had three children together. Loading Instagram Post The football world has rallied behind the family since Jota's death. His funeral was attended by many current players, including Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and Portugal star Ruben Neves. Cardoso was pictured embracing other mourners as she arrived at the church ahead of the ceremony on July 5. Liverpool have since retired Jota's No.20 shirt following talks with Cardoso and Jota's family. 'As a club, we were all acutely aware of the sentiment of our supporters – and we felt exactly the same way,' club boss Michael Edwards said. 'It was vitally important to us to involve Diogo's wife Rute and his family in the decision and to ensure they were the first to know of our intention. 'I believe this is the first time in Liverpool Football Club's history that such an honour has been bestowed upon an individual. Therefore, we can say this is a unique tribute to a uniquely wonderful person. 'By retiring this squad number, we are making it eternal — and therefore never to be forgotten. 'Diogo joined us in 2020, he won us number 20, and he wore — with honour, distinction and affection — the number 20. 'As far as Liverpool Football Club is concerned, he will be forever our number 20.' A mural of the star has also been painted on a wall in the city. Jota was a vital part of Liverpool's recent success, lifting the Premier League trophy at the end of last season. He was also part of the Portugal national team which won the Nations League in June this year, having also won the competition in 2019.

Perth's DCC sets record straight on unusual hairstyle
One of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' newest recruits has set the record straight after she was spotted donning a hairstyle not associated with being a DCC. Perth's very own Faith Ward is one of five new rookies to join the famous cheerleading team in Texas that is known for implementing strict rules on the dancers, including extreme beauty guidelines. Following the 2025 team announcement last week, eagle-eyed DCC fans noticed that Ward was the only cheerleader with her hair styled in a ponytail, contrary to the hair-down look that has become synonymous with the squad. On Thursday, Ward confirmed on social media that the ponytail was here to stay after having her official team photos. 'I've been hearing a lot of tales, and I'm here to set the record straight,' she said in a video on Instagram. 'Well, as you can see here, my headshot, that's how it all started, so that's how they found me, that's how they saw me, and I guess they just preferred me with my hair up rather than out there's not that much tea to it.' The 22-year-old said the controversial hairdo made the team's brutal training camp debut two weeks in. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

The Wellington-born, who is the first New Zealander to make DCC, also revealed the reaction from squad director Kelli Finglass. 'Ariana Grande is all she had to say, which I was like, that's amazing, obviously my hair was a little bit shorter at the time, so we added some longer extensions, went a bit blonder,' she said. Friends and fans took to the comments section with mixed reactions to the rule-bending. DCC veteran Charly Barby said: 'Our pony princess.' Faith Ward with her fellow rookies. Credit: Supplied 'This is so iconic. The girl with the ponytail!' a fan said. Another fan said: 'Normalise ponies cause my hair would be a full frizzy mess covered in sweat if I was doing all this with it down.' 'Is Faith really Faith if she doesn't have her iconic slick back ponytail?' a third fan added. Another fan said: 'The ponytail looks SO good!! And I love the uniform on her. She honestly looks like she was born to be a DCC.' However, one fan disagreed with the hair change. 'I think you're gorgeous, but I prefer the down hairstyle of all the DCC! The hair rule STAYS DOWN,' they said. Meanwhile, others paid attention to a film crew in the background of Ward's video, where they hoped for an announcement of season three of the hit Netflix show America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Faith Ward is representing New Zealand and Australia. Credit: Supplied 'I see a film crew in the background 👀 season 3?!' a fan said. It comes after Ward herself hinted at another season where fans would get an insight to her DCC journey after explaining how overwhelmed she felt during her first training camp lesson. 'The first lesson when I came in, I'm sure you guys will eventually see, I'm a deer in headlights,' she told PerthNow 'Going into an environment where I'd never done the style before, never held a pair of pom poms, and didn't know any of the routines, while all the veterans around you know what they're doing is extremely intimidating. 'Plus, you're literally fighting for your life in front of Judy and Kellie, so you want to do the best you can.' 'Girl, hopefully Netflix releases season three. I would love to see that too.'

Emily Chancellor handed Wallaroos captaincy ahead of Test series against Wales
Wallaroos coach Jo Yapp has described new captain Emily Chancellor as a "natural leader" as the Wallabies make their final preparations before next month's Women's Rugby World Cup. Injuries to captain and blindside flanker Siokapesi Palu (foot) and rugby 7s convert Charlotte Caslick (ankle) in the Wallaroos' defeat to New Zealand have forced Yapp to make changes ahead of the first of two Tests against Wales this Saturday. Chancellor replaces Palu as captain and blindside flanker, while Georgina Friedrichs slots into the centres in place of Caslick. Saturday's match at Brisbane's Ballymore, and the following week in Sydney, are the final two matches before Australia faces Samoa in the opening match of the world cup on August 23. In total, Yapp made six changes from the team who were defeated by New Zealand on July 12. Despite the injuries, the Australian coach is taking the positive out of giving more players an opportunity before the World Cup in England. "We're looking forward to playing these final two Test matches on home soil before the World Cup begins," Yapp said in a statement. "Injuries have forced our hand with a few changes for the series, but it also gives opportunities to other players ahead of the World Cup. "While disappointing to lose a leader like Siokapesi Palu, we are fortunate to have someone like Emily Chancellor be able to step up in her place and lead the team. "Emily is a natural leader and has worked closely throughout this season with Siokapesi." Starting: 1. Lydia Kavoa, 2. Katalina Amosa, 3. Bridie O'Gorman, 4. Kaitlan Leaney (#179 — SCU Marlins) — 29 caps, 5. Annabelle Codey, 6. Emily Chancellor (captain), 7. Ashley Marsters, 8. Tabua Tuinakauvadra, 9. Layne Morgan, 10. Tia Hinds, 11. Desiree Miller, 12. Trilleen Pomare, 13. Georgina Friedrichs, 14. Waiaria Ellis, 15. Caitlyn Halse, Reserves: 16. Tania Naden, 17. Bree-Anna Browne, 18. Asoiva (Eva) Karpani, 19. Ashley Fernandez, 20. Piper Duck, 21. Samantha Wood, 22. Cecilia Smith, 23. Lori Cramer
