Former Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino and his wife have founded an Evangelical Church in Brazil, where Firmino now serves as a pastor.
Firmino received Jesus Christ 3 years ago , Liverpool goal keeper Allison Becker was the one who preached to him and led him in saying prayer of confession...
Since then we have always seen Firmino openly professing his love for Jesus Christ ,even when he went to Saudi Arabia last season ...
This is good news ..
Congratulations to Roberto Firmino and his wife ....
We hold them in our prayers .
📖 Did you know? Neymar scored Brazil’s only goal in their 2-1 loss to Norway, but it was not enough to keep his nation alive in the World Cup.
Behind the fame, the trophies, the number 10 shirt, and the millions of fans watching… there was a man carrying the weight of a dream he had chased his whole life.
And when the final whistle blew, the tears said what words could not.
It was not just the end of a match.
It felt like the end of an era.
Neymar gave Brazil his talent, his body, his emotions, and years of sacrifice. But this moment reminds us of something deeper:
Even the greatest gifts on earth cannot satisfy the soul the way God can.
Crowds can cheer today and move on tomorrow.
Titles can be chased and still slip away.
Dreams can be beautiful and still break your heart.
But Jesus remains.
Sometimes God allows endings to remind us that our identity was never meant to be found in performance, applause, or achievement.
Neymar’s tears remind us that even legends are human. Even champions feel pain. Even the most gifted people still need grace.
✝️ “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” - Psalm 34:18
💡 The real takeaway: Your dream may end, your season may change, and your heart may break… but God is not finished with you.
A loss is not the end when God is still writing your story.
👉 Are we building our identity on success, or on Christ?

🇧🇷🚨Roberto Carlos on Neymar Jr. crying after the final whistle:
🗣️ “I felt so bad seeing Neymar Jr. cry after the final whistle. He’s the type of player who would’ve given absolutely everything for Brazil. Maybe the coach didn’t fully believe in him, but when he came on, he still showed his composure and quality.”
🗣️ “I’ve always admired Neymar and everything he’s has achieved in football. The level he’s reached is something very few players will ever experience.”
🗣️ “Winning the World Cup is special, but it doesn’t define a player’s entire career. Some of the greatest players in history never lifted it.”
🗣️ “Trust me, generations will still remember Neymar as one of the greatest footballers to ever wear the Brazil shirt. His legacy was built a long time ago, not today.”
🗣️ “For me, he’s a legend, no matter what. Nothing that happened today will ever change that.”
The 40 year old goalkeeper from Cape Verde is the best they have in the tournament. FIFA 2026 World Cup.. he has made him and his team have made 1.5 billion. Africans and African people globally proud.. job well done.
🚨 David Beckham on Cape Verde’s elimination after pushing Argentina to extra time in the FIFA World Cup:
🗣️ “This is the cruelest side of football. Cape Verde have been eliminated, but they leave this tournament with something far more important than just a scoreline—they leave with the respect of the entire football world. They took the defending world champions all the way into extra time and made Argentina fight for every single minute. Nobody expected that before kick-off.
When I think about this performance, I think about Vozinha first. His saves kept Cape Verde alive when many teams would have collapsed. Then you have Deroy Duarte and Sydney Lopes, two players who will forever be remembered in their country’s football history. They scored against Argentina, they believed when so many people doubted them, and they gave millions of Cape Verdeans a night they will never forget.
People will only remember that Argentina qualified, but those who truly understand football will remember how close Cape Verde came to creating one of the greatest upsets in World Cup history. They never hid, they never stopped running, and they never accepted that they were supposed to lose. Every challenge, every tackle, every attack showed a team playing with pride, courage, and absolute belief.
This is not a story of failure. This is a story of a nation announcing itself to the football world. Cape Verde arrived at this World Cup as outsiders, but they leave having proven they belong on the biggest stage. They stretched the world champions to their absolute limit, forced them into extra time, and made them earn every second of their qualification.
Football can be incredibly unfair. Sometimes the team that captures the hearts of everyone watching is not the team that advances. But no whistle can erase what Cape Verde have achieved. Vozinha, Deroy Duarte, Sydney Lopes, and every player wearing that shirt have inspired a generation. Argentina continue their journey, but Cape Verde leave this World Cup as heroes.”
❤️🇨🇻 ¡¡NO PERDISTE NADA, CABO VERDE… TE GANASTE EL RESPETO DEL MUNDO ENTERO!!
El pitazo final los encontró de rodillas, entre lágrimas y con el corazón roto. Sabían que habían estado a un paso de lograr el milagro. Cayeron 3-2 en la prórroga ante la tricampeona del mundo, pero se marcharon con la frente en alto y el orgullo de haber protagonizado una de las historias más inolvidables de esta Copa del Mundo.
Era su PRIMER MUNDIAL. Muchos los daban por eliminados antes de empezar. Sin embargo, una selección valorada en apenas 60 millones de dólares llevó al límite a una Argentina que supera los 1.000 millones en valor de mercado. La obligó a jugar tiempos extra, la encerró por momentos en su propia área y estuvo a centímetros de firmar una de las mayores hazañas que se recuerden en la historia de los Mundiales.
Un país de apenas 500.000 habitantes hizo temblar a uno de los gigantes del fútbol. Vozinha, con 40 años, firmó una actuación legendaria. Sus compañeros corrieron cada pelota como si fuera la última de sus vidas. Nunca jugaron con miedo. Jugaron con convicción, con orgullo y con el corazón.
No levantarán la Copa del Mundo, pero consiguieron algo que muy pocos logran: conquistar la admiración de millones de personas. Hoy, Cabo Verde dejó de ser una selección desconocida para convertirse en el equipo que enamoró al planeta con su entrega, su valentía y su fe.
El fútbol no siempre recompensa con títulos. A veces recompensa con algo todavía más grande: el respeto eterno.
👏❤️ GRACIAS POR HACERNOS CREER, CABO VERDE. EL MUNDO ENTERO TE APLAUDE. 🇨🇻
