Today, as every day, we remember Diogo Jota and André Silva, who tragically passed away one year ago.
Through immeasurable loss and incalculable pain, the impact they made and the legacies they left behind - not only within the footballing world, but in the hearts and minds of so many around the world - has shone through over the last 12 months.
All of our love, support, thoughts and prayers continue to be with Diogo and André's families, friends and all those whose lives were touched by them.
Forever in our hearts, forever our number 20 ❤️
My purpose in the game is fulfilled ⭐️
I lived out my childhood dreams, played on the biggest stages, won the biggest trophies. Grateful to God for all of it.
To all my fans, the clubs, my teammates and my family: this will forever be ours. Thank you.
The mission is complete. Now I step into my next calling.
More of the journey to come.
Love,
Divock Origi
Το πρωί της 6ης Ιουνίου 1944, περίπου 156.000 στρατιώτες των Συμμάχων αποβιβάστηκαν στις ακτές της Νορμανδίας για να διασπάσουν τις γερμανικές οχυρώσεις, στη μεγαλύτερη απόβαση της ιστορίας.
Στην επιχείρηση συμμετείχαν στρατιώτες, ναύτες και αεροπόροι από 15 χώρες, μεταξύ των οποίων και η Ελλάδα με τις κορβέτες "Τομπάζης" και Κριεζής".
Στο τέλος της #DDay, 4.414 άνδρες της αποβατικής δύναμης ήταν ήδη νεκροί. Σε αυτούς τους νεκρούς, σε όσους σκοτώθηκαν τους επόμενους μήνες και σε όσους έζησαν και πολέμησαν ως την τελική νίκη επί της χιτλερικής Γερμανίας, χρωστάμε σήμερα μια ευλαβική σκέψη και ένα νοερό "ευχαριστώ".
The Jaws of Death. So reads the caption on this National Archives image of A Company 16th Inf. landing on Easy Red Sector of Omaha Beach. 2/3rds will become casualties. The American graveyard is today above the bluffs. See here https://t.co/EEg00P06y6
Robert Capa's amazing shot was taken around this time. Note the soldiers pinned down on the beach. 900 Americans were killed on Omaha. Capa survived and his images are the iconic photos of Omaha. See more on https://t.co/EEg00P0EnE
Liverpool Football Club celebrates its 134th birthday today 🎈
The club officially came into existence on June 3, 1892, after founder John Houlding set about creating a new team on Merseyside that year 🔴
A special story was underway... ✨
They buried a 19-year-old wrestler here, an athlete hanged by Iran's regime for protesting.
Saleh Mohammadi was one of Iran's valuable assets, part of the human infrastructure of its future but Islamic Republic destroyed that future.
It is painful and powerful to see people gathering to stand with his family, clapping for their hero.
This should have been on the front page of The New York Times.
I speak to students in America and most have no idea that more than 30,000 Iranians were killed for protesting and demanding freedom.
No names. No faces. No coverage. This silence kills me.💔
Thank you, Australia.
