🇧🇪 Football without Origi is nothing

Divock Origi retires at 31, and somehow that feels perfectly him. Early, unexpected, a little mysterious, with the last word belonging to nobody other than himself.

Let’s be honest, he never became the player his natural gifts suggested he might. He could disappear for weeks, sometimes months, and leave you wondering where all that speed, strength and serenity had gone.

And yet, look at the roll call.

Champions League winner. Premier League winner. Scorer in a European Cup final. Two goals against Barcelona on the maddest night Anfield has ever staged. Pickford, 96th minute, bedlam. Madrid, 87th minute, immortality.

His isn't a career to apologise for. It's a career most players would crawl over glass to own.

Origi was never a weekly certainty. He was something far rarer, a man for the thunderclap. When the match was dying, when logic had packed up and left, he would appear with that calm face and those cool feet, as if the pressure had mistaken him for someone else.

Liverpool have had far greater players. Plenty of them. Players with better numbers, longer peaks, more trophies, fuller bodies of work.

Few gave us moments quite so sharp, quite so absurd, quite so joyfully impossible.

So congratulations, Divock. On the trophies, on the memories, on knowing when your part was complete. Go make your fashion, build your work, carry your purpose.

Football without Origi is nothing, tongue in cheek, of course. Except for a few wild nights, it was absolutely true.

When it was Qatar 2022 BBC, Sky News and ITV News were doing segments for 40 days and 40 nights about human rights abuse and campaigning for alcohol to be allowed during the World Cup. But USA is refusing to allow a referee and Iran’s team in and they’ve gone quiet. Cowards

So far at the 2026 FIFA Epstein Cup before a ball kicked:
- Senegal & Uzbekistan squads treated like criminals upon arrival given full cavity searches;
- Africa’s best referee sent back to Somalia despite having a diplomatic passport;
- Iraq team photographer sent back despite valid visa;
- AIPS (international sport journalist association) calling on FIFA to sort out unacceptable visa issues of African & Iranian journalists;
- 90% of Moroccan fans with tickets denied entry
- 14 members of Iran backroom staff denied visas

One of the most brutal scenes in human history has been leaked.

Footage from an Israeli aircraft shows thousands of starving Palestinians running towards an aid truck, before it bombs and kills them all.

A video that the world must never forget.

“I want to kill someone today & it might be you"

"They wrenched my trousers & underwear down & I was raped by one of the soldiers"

"Other people had guns inserted inside them"

"My daughter was syringed with an unknown substance"

Israel has now killed 2618 people in Lebanon.

Please spread the word.

CCTV footage shows the moment a French nun was brutally assaulted in occupied East Jerusalem. Israeli police said they arrested a 36-year-old man but declined to disclose his identity.

A European diplomatic source in Jerusalem noted that the assault “occurred in a context where anti-Christian acts have become commonplace, with insults and spitting by (Jewish) extremists targeting clergy in religious dress on a daily basis.”

Earlier this month, the military removed two soldiers from combat duty after they destroyed a statue of Jesus in a southern Lebanon village, an act that drew widespread condemnation

How have I not heard about this Libyan man before. My God.

Every time the West calls an African country "unstable" they mean the resources stopped flowing.

I made a glossary of 100 diplomatic words they use and what they actually mean.

He wasn’t carrying a gun. He was carrying food to children.
The IDF killed him. The media said nothing.

Remember his name: James Henderson. Former Royal Marine.
