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.”

@Nurtsi3 Täytyy sanoa, että pallokontrolli vaikutti siltä, että minä olisin ollut siellä maalissa...

All the UK journalists, including the bbc who were shouting about how disgraceful the culture of Qatar was in 2022 - where are they now?

Ian Wright on the Corrupt #WorldCup. He's spot on, just doesn't say enough. I used to go to these but won't even be watching, but... that's my choice. Its all about money, not sport and its gone over the hills and far away.

@NimaTavRood And now Iran can't deliver tickets to its supporters...

[Esa Vanhanen-Varho 🇫🇮🇺🇦 #YNWA 20 @essu72]

That's what you get by awarding @FIFAcom @FIFAWorldCup to a Shithole administration country.

Infantino keeps on licking Trump's ass when he should be shoving the peace prize there instead.

Tickets for Iran fans revoked, says federation https://t.co/jRMJ4ldgQR

[Nima Tavallaey Roodsari @NimaTavRood]

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

Not a word from Gianni ”today I feel black/gay/disabled etc” Infantino.

Why even bid to host the World Cup when you don’t want the world 😑🥀

[SPORF @Sporf]

A spectacle meant to unite nations, build excitement, and celebrate the world's game is increasingly becoming overshadowed by uncomfortable questions about how some participants are being treated ahead of the FIFA World Cup. 😞

Somali referee Omar Artan, officially appointed by FIFA to officiate at the tournament, was reportedly denied entry to the United States despite receiving support from the Somali embassy in Nairobi and obtaining a diplomatic passport. He was ultimately sent back. 👎

Iraq vice-captain Aymen Hussein was reportedly held at Chicago Airport for nearly seven hours after arriving with his national team. "Why is America hosting the World Cup if it's so hostile to foreign nationals?" 🗣️

Meanwhile, members of Senegal's national team underwent security screening on the airport tarmac upon arrival in the U.S. 🤨

The issue isn't security checks themselves. It's whether everyone is being treated with the same respect, dignity, and fairness. As the host of the world's biggest sporting event, the United States and FIFA must address these concerns before they overshadow the tournament itself.

[Mohammad Ali Shabani @mashabani]

Enough already, FIFA needs to cancel the cup and find a suitable host.

Never has a crime so obscene been so confessed to, so endlessly, so shamelessly, so proudly

[Couch Nish 🛋️ @CouchNish]

Going to bookmark my own post so I can come back to all the comments of “what problems hurrr durrr??!”

Will be interesting seeing the impacts of:
1) Ticket prices being obscenely high
2) Hospitality and transport prices going up 10x in some places
3) visa “complications”

🤡🤡🤡
