Tribute: 'His Name Is Diogo'
Rana Atef Since the heartbreaking news of Liverpool and Portugal international Diogo Jota's passing, an overwhelming wave of emotion has swept through football fans and communities around the world. William 'deeply saddened' at Liverpool forward Diogo Jota's death — Standard News (@standardnews) July 4, 2025 His death is more than the loss of a gifted athlete — it is the silencing of a bright soul, a devoted father, a loving husband, and a brother deeply cherished. Oasis dedicated the song 'Live Forever' to Diogo Jota during their tour tonight. 📸 @_NickNewell_ — Football on TNT Sports (@footballontnt) July 4, 2025 When Luis Diaz was dealing with the kidnapping of his father by the guerrilla group National Liberation Army, known as ELN. Diogo Jota was there to honor Diaz by holding up his shirt after scoring, in a sign of support. An incredible teammate and human ❤️ — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) July 4, 2025 As tributes flood from teammates, coaches, fans, and even rival supporters, one truth rings painfully clear: Jota was not just a footballer. He was a man whose life meant so much more than goals and glory. João Cancelo and Rúben Neves during the moment of silence for Diogo Jota and André Silva ❤️ (via @DAZNFootball ) — B/R Football (@brfootball) July 4, 2025 Portuguese players Nuno Borges and Francisco Cabral were given permission to alter the Wimbledon all-white dress code to pay tribute to Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva. — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) July 4, 2025 Remember how Liverpool's fans sang to him that he brings them victory and he wears number 20. The number which is immortalized by the Reds. 🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Liverpool have announced that the number 20 will be immortalised. — The Touchline | Football Coverage (@TouchlineX) July 3, 2025 É oficial: o Liverpool retirou a camisola 20, de forma a imortalizar Diogo Jota. Em 133 anos de história, é a primeira vez que o histórico clube inglês toma uma decisão deste género. — 24Horas (@24horaspt) July 4, 2025 It's hard to process a tragedy like this. Hearing stories of his dedication to his children, his quiet strength, his humility off the pitch. El funeral de Diogo Jota y su hermano André será el sábado, según medios — La Era Digital (@LaEraDigital7) July 4, 2025 What adds discomfort is how this grief is being debated online, especially in the Middle East. Some voices have asked: how can we mourn Jota when children are dying every day in Gaza? But the truth is, grief is not a competition. Diogo Jota loved watching his brother André play football ❤️ — ESPN UK (@ESPNUK) July 4, 2025 Humanity does not ask us to choose between compassion for one tragedy or another. We can hold space for all loss. For the voiceless in Gaza. For Jota's parents, who have now lost their sons. For every heart that has broken silently this year. I find it hard to put it into words tbh Day's later and I'm quite speechless, Life can be taken away in an instant RIP Diogo Jota ❤️ — WRAGGY🏴🦁 (@itzwraggy) July 4, 2025 Ironically, the day following Jota and his brother's death was the 4th of July. Of course, I don't mean here the Independence Day. I mean, the song. It is translating all feelings. قائد ليفربول السابق جوردن هندرسون يصل إلى الأنفيلد لكي يعزي في وفاة ديجو جوتا❤️ — Waleed🇵🇸 (@Waleed_AlRamahi) July 4, 2025 Sufjan Stevens dedicated this song, which was released in 2015, to reflect on everything related to the loss of his mother. Mixed and complicated emotions and questions about life and death. I am truly lost for words. Until yesterday, I never thought there would be something that would frighten me of going back to Liverpool after the break. Team mates come and go but not like this. It's going to be extremely difficult to accept that Diogo won't be there when we go… — Mohamed Salah (@MoSalah) July 4, 2025 "Well you do enough talk My little hawk, why do you cry? Tell me what did you learn from the Tillamook burn? Or the Fourth of July? We're all gonna die" Should we celebrate life or mourn death? Maybe both. Maybe the best tribute is to embrace the warmth, the joy, the humanity, and the memories. ديجو جوتا: "أنا والد ل طفلين وقريبا 3، دائما احاول ان اكون مثال يحتذى به عندما أعود إلى المنزل احيانا اريد ان احصل على الراحه ولكني اريد رويتهم سعيدين ولعب كرة القدم احيانا معهم🥹" — Waleed🇵🇸 (@Waleed_AlRamahi) July 4, 2025 Legacy is immortal and alive. Rest in peace, Jota and Andrea. You were loved more than you could ever know.

‘Never seen that': America reacts to unusual changeroom scene at Club World Cup
If you can't handle the heat, head to the sheds. Borussia Dortmund defeated South African team Mamelodi Sundowns 4-3 in their FIFA Club World Cup match on Sunday (AEST) to move into second spot in Group F. Watch every game of The 2025 FIFA Club World Cup LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Get your first month for just $1. Limited time offer. The expanded Club World Cup is being held in America and the summer heat at Cincinnati's TQL Stadium proved too hot to handle for some of the players. Substitute players from German side Dortmund retreated to their changerooms during the change to escape the heat, watching the game on a TV screen. Temperatures reached 30.5 degrees celsius (87 degrees fahrenheit) in Cincinnati during the game, but the sight of Dortmund's bench players seeking refuge from the heat took some fans by surprise. American sports commentator Joe Pompliano said: 'I've never seen that before.' Borussia Dortmund's bench is watching their Club World Cup match from the locker room because of the heat. It is currently 87 degrees (30.5 degrees Celsius) in Cincinnati, Ohio where the match is being played. (via @BVB) — ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) June 21, 2025 One person commented: 'This is normal weather. Euro countries can't handle this is too funny.' A second said: 'Humidity over 50 per cent as well. Feels like 96 degrees according weather app.' A third said: 'Lol, just came back from my men's league game, it's 100 (degrees) right now.' Another said: '30.5 degrees and they are acting this way. They shouldn't come to Africa.' Players were doing their best to stay hydrated during the game and applied ice packs to their necks in an effort to stay cool. Next year's FIFA World Cup will be held in the USA, Canada and Mexico in July to July. For the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the stadiums used an airconditioning system to maintain comfortable temperatures for players and fans despite the desert heat. As for the game itself, Dortmund held off Mamelodi Sundowns to win a seven-goal thriller. Jobe Bellingham got his first goal for Dortmund as his new club overcame stifling heat in Cincinnati to beat Sundowns 4-3 and move to four points from two matches in Group F. The South African champions had taken a surprise early lead through a fine solo goal from Lucas Ribeiro. However, Sundowns goalkeeper Ronwen Williams handed Dortmund their equaliser on a plate, passing the ball straight to Felix Nmecha, who stroked home. Serhou Guirassy gave Dortmund the lead with his 35th goal since the beginning of the season. English midfielder Bellingham, who this month followed older brother Jude's footsteps in joining the German side from Sunderland, started for the first time for Dortmund and made it 3-1 just before the break. Khuliso Mudau's own goal made it 4-1 before the hour mark, but Sundowns salvaged some pride by reducing the deficit through Iqraam Rayners and Lebo Mothiba. 'I'm sweating like I've just come out of a sauna,' said Dortmund coach Niko Kovac when asked about the conditions in a game which started at midday local time. 'It was tough going for both teams, but the opposition are used to it. We certainly didn't give our best performance, but that wasn't possible today.' Sundowns will still go into their final game in Group F with a chance of qualifying for the last 16. 'The boys made a wonderful performance … it was a hell of a match. I'm not happy but very proud,' said their Portuguese coach, Miguel Cardoso. Mbappe release from hospital Meanwhile, Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe was released from hospital after undergoing tests and treatment after suffering gastroenteritis, before later being released. Mbappe did not travel to Charlotte for the team's Club World Cup match against Pachuca, but could be back for the final group stage game, coach Xabi Alonso said. 'He's doing better, he's back from the hospital and is recovering. We're optimistic about having him against Salzburg,' Alonso said. Madrid face Salzburg in the final game of Group H on Thursday in Philadelphia. Mbappe, 26, missed the opening game with the same illness as Madrid were held 1-1 by Al-Hilal in Xabi Alonso's debut as coach. Madrid B-team player Gonzalo Garcia, 21, started in Mbappe's stead and opened the scoring for Real Madrid against their Saudi Arabian opponents.

ESPN FC Pundit Drops Bold Kylian Mbappé Take After PSG Win Champions League
PSG finally captured the UEFA Champions League trophy Saturday night—and did it in emphatic fashion. The Ligue 1 powerhouse crushed Inter Milan 5-0 at Allianz Arena, securing their first-ever title in Europe's premier club competition. PSG set the tone early, with Achraf Hakimi and Désiré Doué finding the net in the first half to give them a 2-0 lead at the break. After halftime, Luis Enrique's side showed no signs of letting up. Advertisement Doué struck again, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu added goals of their own to seal a statement win and bring the long-awaited European crown to the French capital. Would PSG have won Champions League with Kylian Mbappé?During a segment on ESPN FC, the panel discussed whether the capital club could pull off this Champions League triumph with Kylian Mbappé still on the team. Analyst Stewart Robson noted that he doesn't see PSG winning the prestigious trophy because of Mbappé's inability to commit to tracking back and helping press to retrieve the ball. I don't think they would have been as good with Mbappé in the side,' Robson said. 'I don't know—he's an outstanding player. He's done well at scoring goals this season for Madrid. But you see, their work rate hasn't been good enough. If one player doesn't work hard and doesn't close things down, then other players can't get as tight. They can't back up that player because he's not going to work hard enough. 'All around the pitch—the work rate, the energy, the athleticism of the PSG players—it was magnificent. They made good decisions with a young team, an experienced team. They made the right decisions: when to go and close down when to drop off when to keep the ball when to play one touch when to go back to their center-half and start again. It was the all-round performance.'
