🚨 He was broke. His wife and newborn son nearly died. Today, Orlando Gill is Paraguay's World Cup hero. 🇵🇾
His story is one of the most incredible in football.
In 2022, Gill's wife, Melissa, suffered a cardiac arrest while giving birth to their son, Lautaro Daniel. Doctors said their baby was just 10 minutes away from dying.
Both survived, but the road ahead was brutal.
With barely enough money to support his family, Gill sold almost everything he owned — including his boots, training gear and even memorabilia from his time with Paraguay's youth national team — just to pay the bills.
His wife later revealed:
🗣️ "When our son was born, we had nothing."
Between 2021 and 2023, Gill barely played competitive football.
Now, he has beaten his childhood idol, Manuel Neuer, in a World Cup penalty shootout and is about to face France in the last 16.
What a story. ❤️🇵🇾
Palestinian goalkeeper Salim Al-Ashqar has been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

Since this tweet:
Anderson to City - €130m
Fernandes to Spurs - €100m
Tonali to Spurs - €100m
Hecke to Spurs - €70m
Palestra to Chelsea - €60m
Brown to Bayern - €60m
but I’m supposed to believe that €70m for Gordon was “too much”?
🚨🚨💥 Joan Laporta: “We have a lot of respect for Atlético Madrid.. The tweets were before Julián spoke about his dream of playing for a big club, but he never mentioned Barcelona at any point; we didn't force him into this” 👀
“The player was on our radar even before he moved to Manchester City. What we did was a club-to-club offer. I see NO logic in the actions they're taking now.
This isn't the first time we've done a deal with Atlético, but perhaps this one is more sensitive; we're putting in a great effort, and there are those who want to stir up controversy” #Transfers 💣☎️
