Ahmed El-Shenawy, goalkeeper for Egypt and a close friend of Mo Salah: "The prospect of leaving Liverpool has affected Mo psychologically, but the situation might change and he could still stay with the team. He even told me that he doesn't know anything about his future yet."

🚨📢| José Mourinho on the Somali Referee Drama and the 2026 World Cup:

“It’s not about UEFA appointing the Somali referee for the Super Cup between PSG and Aston Villa,” Mourinho reportedly argued. “We need to blame FIFA for all this drama. Why take a precious tournament to a country that’s not traditionally known for football passion in the same way, and then have all these issues with people getting denied entry? This must be shaping up to be one of the most chaotic and boring World Cups ever.

not just about welcoming him back home as a hero or finding him another stage. Things have to be done properly next time-proper planning, better coordination with hosts on visas and security-or the World Cup will start losing its credibility. Football’s biggest event can’t keep getting dragged into these avoidable messes.”

@AfricanHub_ Africa helped South Africa defeat apartheid. We paid in solidarity, sacrifice, sweat, tears, and blood. Now, somehow, Africans are the enemy. That's quite the plot twist.
Immigration issues are real, but scapegoating Africans and resorting to barbaric tactics isn't leadership.

@UTDKara What's funny about it? Football is entertainment, and everyone has the right to support the brand of football they enjoy. I choose quality. Some people choose suffering and call it loyalty. We all have hobbies, I suppose.

Egypt's training sessions have seen some of the highest fan turnouts in the US so far! 🇪🇬🇺🇸

It’s not just Egyptians—huge numbers of fans showed up wearing Liverpool #11 shirts. Many Liverpool and Mohamed Salah supporters came out specifically just to see Mo! 👑🔴

🚨 Breaking: After FIFA announced that referee Omar Artan will not be among this year's World Cup officials, Somalis around the world pledged a $1 million reward to honor him as Africa's best referee.

The result? The U.S. got exactly what it wanted, massive attention for the U.S.

The decision to deny Omar Artan entry has sparked global discussion, making his name trend across social media and turning the issue into one of the biggest talking points worldwide.

Instead of fading away, the story has grown into an international headline.

[TrueRed @Islika1]

This embarrassment will keep going because too many countries seem to have outsourced their backbone. Europe and Africa are the main enablers, which is why Washington keeps handing out public humiliations like free samples. But sure, carry on acting surprised. Shame on you.

🚨 HUMILIATION AT THE WORLD CUP: SENEGAL STARS TREATED LIKE CRIMINALS BY US BORDER THUGS

Senegal 🇸🇳 national team arrives in the US for #WorldCup2026 — and what do they get?

US authorities pulling them off the plane for aggressive bag searches, invasive checks, and public degradation right on the tarmac. Top African football giants disrespected like suspects.

This is not "security." This is racist arrogance from the host nation that lectures the world on fairness while treating African players like second-class humans.

Same America blocking referees, humiliating teams, and showing its true face to the Global South.

Senegal, Africa is with you. CAF and FIFA — speak up or remain useless puppets.

The World Cup belongs to the world, not to US ego and discrimination.

Expose this disgrace. Share widely.

[كهالد 🇸🇦 @i_khl4]

Hi darling @ToniKroos

You spent months criticizing Qatar and talking about every possible issue before and during the 2022 World Cup, yet it turned out to be one of the best-organized tournaments in history. Public transportation was free, fans could travel easily between stadiums some fans saw 4 matches in the stadium in same day, and the overall organization was praised by millions of visitors.

Now, when concerns are being raised about visa delays, strict entry procedures, and travel difficulties surrounding tournaments in the United States, we don't hear the same level of criticism from you. There have also been complaints about organizational decisions and match arrangements that many fans consider unnecessary or difficult, yet your voice is nowhere near as loud as it was when Qatar hosted the World Cup.

If your criticism is truly based on principles, then the same standards should apply to everyone. But when Qatar receives endless criticism while similar concerns elsewhere are met with silence, people are naturally going to question whether your issue was really about organization at all.

Fuck you.

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

How much longer will we allow our dignity to be trampled for the sake of a tournament? 🌍🚨

The treatment of the Senegal national team by US airport staff is nothing short of a calculated and criminal humiliation. These African champions, our Lions of Teranga, are being forced through invasive and dehumanizing tarmac searches, shoe removals, and body scans as if they were common criminals. This happens while the very nation perpetrating this degradation has the audacity to lecture us on democracy and human rights.

This is not security. This is blatant and disgusting hypocrisy designed to strip away our pride. Our heroes are not here to be servants for Western entertainment, and their degradation is an insult to every single African on the continent.

Will African football fans, federations, and our leaders, those who often act more like colonial administrators than representatives of our people, finally stand up and expose this treachery? Or will we continue to remain silent while our honor is dragged through the mud? ✊🏾

RT if you demand respect for Africa and refuse to accept this humiliation!

[New Direction AFRICA @Its_ereko]

African leaders are scared to speak truth to power.

I am not.

All African teams, players, and officials must WITHDRAW from the 2026 World Cup unless FIFA and the United States immediately apologize to our brother and referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan — denied entry despite valid visa and diplomatic passport.

1966 African boycott reminder — Africa has withdrawn before for dignity. Time to do it again?

FIFA turned this into their own show of shame: Infantino’s empty “everyone is welcome” promises in Nairobi while they play politics, shrug their shoulders, and abandon African talent at the border. Selective rules. Hypocrisy on full display. Rigged games for the Global South.

This humiliation of African excellence cannot stand. No respect for our people? No participation.

Enough of the double standards and fake inclusion.

Jürgen Klopp on Divock Origi retiring from professional football:

🗣️ “When people talk about great Liverpool players, they often talk about the biggest names, the Ballon d'Or winners, the captains and the superstars who played every single week.

But Divock Origi was different. He created a legacy in a completely different way and became one of the most loved players this club has ever had.

He had a special gift for appearing exactly when Liverpool needed him most and turning impossible moments into unforgettable memories. Somehow, whenever the pressure was at its highest, Divock found a way to make something extraordinary happen.

The goals against Barcelona, the goals against Everton, the Champions League moments — these are not just goals. These are pieces of Liverpool history that supporters will remember for the rest of their lives.

What made Divock special was not just his quality, but his mentality. In modern football, many players become frustrated when they are not starting every week, but he was never like that.

He never complained, never created problems, and never stopped believing that his moment would come. Every single day in training he worked with the same hunger and professionalism.

Some players need to play every week to feel important. Some need constant attention and recognition.

Divock could wait for months, step onto the pitch for ten minutes, and change the course of a season. That mentality is incredibly rare and something every manager dreams of having in a squad.

The dressing room loved him, the supporters adored him, and his teammates trusted him completely because they knew he could deliver when it mattered most.

Football will remember trophies and statistics. Liverpool will remember the man who always seemed to arrive when history needed a hero and when miracles were required.

For me, Divock Origi will always be a Liverpool legend, not because he played the most games, but because he gave Liverpool some of its most unforgettable moments.”

🗣🔥 يورغن كلوب عن لقطة أليسون بيكر ومحمد صلاح وفابينيو بعد مباراة مصر والبرازيل:

"عندما رأيت تلك الصورة ابتسمت فورًا... البعض يرى ثلاثة لاعبين يقفون معًا، لكني أرى قصة كاملة، أرى حقبة أعادت ليفربول إلى القمة من جديد." ❤️

هذه الصورة لم تكن مجرد لقطة عابرة بين ثلاثة لاعبين، بل كانت تذكيرًا بسنوات من النجاح والبطولات واللحظات التاريخية التي عاشتها جماهير ليفربول حول العالم.

🧤 أليسون كان الحارس الذي منح الفريق الأمان في أصعب الأوقات، و⚙️ فابينيو كان الجندي المجهول الذي حافظ على توازن المنظومة، بينما 👑 محمد صلاح أصبح رمزًا للأهداف والأرقام القياسية واللحظات الحاسمة.

ما جمع هذا الثلاثي لم يكن فقط المستوى الفني الكبير، بل عقلية الانتصار والرغبة الدائمة في تحقيق المزيد. كانوا جزءًا من فريق أعاد ليفربول إلى منصات التتويج المحلية والأوروبية وصنع حقبة لن تنساها الجماهير.

📸 صورة واحدة أعادت آلاف الذكريات... فهل ترى أن صلاح وأليسون وفابينيو من أعظم الثلاثيات التي مرت على ليفربول في العصر الحديث؟

🚨Fabinho on re- uniting with Mo Salah and Alisson.

🗣️“Mo Salah is a great, great player and was one of the reason for all those trophies we’ve achieved at Liverpool. I was happy and excited to see him one more time again, the memories and great moments we shared together will always be something special to me forever.

Mo Salah always look forward to be at his best because when the club needs progress then Mo Salah has to keep scoring and assisting, his standards at the club was a top notch that everyone knows he’s the one carrying us ON”

[Paul @Bumpydog3]

@SalahUpdates Mate we went to Qatar from Liverpool to watch #LFC win World club cup the whole stadium cheered every time Mo touched the ball, he got man of the match plus Man of the tournament, I think there would have been an earthquake if he'd scored. 👀⚽🤣🤣🤣👍
