๐จ๐ถ Jรฉrรฉmy Doku could temporarily leave Belgium's World Cup camp to be present for the birth of his son, and the debate has exploded across Europe. ๐ง๐ช
French journalist France Pierron didn't hold back:
๐ฃ๏ธ Pierron: "Are you seriously telling me these players have sacrificed everything to come to the World Cup, and you're leaving just to cut an umbilical cord? ๐ณ
You're lucky enough to play in a World Cup. It's an incredible privilege, and hundreds of footballers would do anything to be in your position. That opportunity might never come around again in your life.
And you're going to throw it all away just to attend your child's birth?
It's a moment where the father isn't really needed. He has a symbolic role. You hold her hand and take a photo. And then what?
You're going to miss 10 hours, experience an emotional high, and be exhausted afterwards. You can't miss a World Cup.
Some people may have gone into debt just to get to the World Cup, maybe sacrificed everything to be there, and you're leaving to cut an umbilical cord..." ๐ณ
The reaction has completely split fans. Some believe family comes before everything, while others see the World Cup as an opportunity that may never come around again. ๐
What would you do: stay with your national team or be there for your son's birth? ๐ค
.@piersmorgan blocked me as he can' t take a wind up. It's ok for him to have a go at the Gallagher's over Man City not winning the PL. However when you call him out as a hypocrite he throws his toys out the pram. Some say he is a social media bully.
Pep Guardiola is much more than just an unbelievable manager.
He spoke up for the people of Palestine, Sudan and Congo while others looked away.
Pep used his platform to defend our shared humanity. That will never be forgotten. Thank you, Pep.
