Diogo Jota was an inspiration and special tribute by Liverpool academy starlets prove it
Diogo Jota was an inspiration and special tribute by Liverpool academy starlets prove it It's still difficult to comprehend Diogo Jota is no longer with us. That he'll not be coming to pre-season and we'll never see him at Anfield ever again. The gravity of death is so final. It is that which hurts the most. Advertisement A tragedy has taken away Jota and his brother, Andre Silva, not just from us but from their colleagues, their friends, their teammates and most importantly their family. For them, this pain will be unbearable. We simply cannot imagine what they must be feeling at this time. The most important thing we can do is to give them the privacy to mourn their loss in their own space and environment without any intrusion. As a club, Liverpool will come together. We will remember and honour Jota's legacy. He was a special player but even more so he was a special man. Someone who helped out the community and who was an inspiration to us all. Advertisement A boy from Gondomar, who was never supposed to make it in professional football, let alone reach the heights of the Premier League and become a champion at Liverpool. Jota's journey from the bottom to the very pinnacle of the game is something that will and has inspired many young and aspiring footballers. He was the ultimate testament to what a professional footballer should be. To show you the kind of many that he was, you only have to see the video Jota recorded at an event called BOSS KIDS to celebrate Liverpool's 20th Premier League title triumph. The event thrown for young Liverpool supporters was made even special by an appearance of a pre-recorded video from Jota himself. Advertisement 'Hello everyone at BOSS KIDS!' his message, introduced by singer Jamie Webster at the family event at the Exhibition Centre started. 'I heard my song was the most voted for the best song of all of the players. I personally agree with that! 'So perhaps Jamie can sing it for you guys and you can sing it extra loud. We are champions!' The fact that he took time out of his day just to make young Liverpool supporters feel special goes to show the kind of man that he was. Now in his death, Liverpool's young players have paid a fitting and touching tribute to the Liverpool forward. Some of the club's academy players visited Anfield to leave flowers for the Portuguese international in a video shared by 433 from the Instagram account: @romandimine_ as shown above. Advertisement The message left on the flowers read: "May your souls continue to rest in perfect peace, Jota and Andre. Sending our condolences to your family, Liverpool U12s."

USMNT's Luna, Tillman Have Impressed Most At Concacaf Gold Cup
SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA - JUNE 15: Diego Luna #10 celebrates after scoring a goal with Malik Tillman ... More #17 of the United States during a 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup Group D match between the United States and Trinidad and Tobago at PayPal Park on June 15, 2025 in San Jose, California. (Photo by Erin Chang/ISI Photos/USSF/Getty Images) Getty Images Regardless of how the U.S. men's national team fares against Mexico in the Concacaf Gold Cup final in Houston on Sunday, one thing is clear. The tournament has allowed several players not only to be seen, but heard, as well. The two standouts have been midfielders Diego Luna and Malik Tillman. That doesn't mean they will earn a spot on the 26-man FIFA World Cup roster next May, but they took important steps to be considered seriously considered to be part of the mix. We need to remember that several key performers were not included on the roster, including Christian Pulisic, who wanted the summer off to regenerate himself for another difficult Italian A Serie A before next summer, and three players who were unavailable due to their respective teams participation in the FIFA Club World Cup - Juventus' Weston McKennie and Tim Weah, and Borussia Dortmund's Gio Reyna. But for head coach Mauricio Pochettino, the more the merrier, in terms of depth at just about every position. He would prefer to be forced to make difficult decisions when naming a roster than picking someone just to fill it out. Here is a quick look at each player: Top Level MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - JUNE 29: Diego Luna #10 of United States celebrates after scoring a goal ... More against Costa Rica during the first half of the Gold Cup 2025 Quarterfinals at U.S. Bank Stadium on June 29, 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by John Dorton/ISI Photos/USSF/Getty Images) Getty Images The Real Salt Lake No. 10 has emerged as a vital player for the Americans, particularly in the knockout round. Luna has tallied three goals in his last two matches, including two in the 2-1 semifinal victory over Guatemala on Wednesday. What has stood out about 21-year-old midfielder has been ability to take risks and not being afraid to make mistakes. The U.S. hasn't had a player like that for years. While a different player than Tab Ramos, he reminds this writer of the National Soccer Hall of Famer in that he is fearless on attack and not being afraid of taking risks and failing. It might be difficult to believe, but Luna was left off the U.S. Under-23 team that competed in the Paris Summer Olympics last year. Yes, that is a head scratcher, given what he has accomplished this year. While Luna has been a focal point of the U.S. attack, it must be noted that he has excelled against Concacaf competition. How would he fare vs. top European sides, who are likely USA opponents, particularly in the knockout round in the 2026 World Cup? There is no doubt that Luna has lifted his level, but he needs to take another step against more sophisticated defenders, midfielders and teams. That next big step would be a transfer from his MLS team to a European club for the upcoming season. ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JUNE 22: Malik Tillman #17 of United States celebrates after scoring his ... More teammates first goal during the Group Stage - Group D match between United States and Haiti as part of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup at AT&T Stadium on June 22, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by) Getty Images Malik Tillman A member of Dutch Eredivisie champion PSV Eindhoven, the 23-year-old Tillman has proved himself for the Netherlands' top club. And in this tournament, you can add Concacaf and international soccer to the list. He has struck thrice for the USA in the tournament, twice in the 5-0 triumph over Trinidad & Tobago in the group stage on June 15, and the first goal in a 2-1 quarterfinal win over Haiti on June 22. Beyond his God-given ability to make life miserable for opposing midfielders and defenders, Tillman has displayed a sense of unique positioning, being in the right place at the right time. You can't teach that to players. They are either born with it or it just comes with experience. And he is doing it for club and country. Tillman is coming off his finest PSV season, having tallied 12 goals in league play and 16 across all competitions for his club. Two others to consider ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JUNE 22: Patrick Agyemang #24 of the United States celebrates scoring during the ... More second half against Haiti during a 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup Group D match at AT&T Stadium on June 22, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by John Dorton/ISI Photos/USSF/Getty Images) Getty Images Patrick Agyemang Agyemang has earned a spot in among forward candidates for two reasons. One has been his production since making his international debut in January. The Charlotte FC forward has scored five goals in 11 international appearances, and another six (and one assist) in 16 MLS matches. And two, at 6-foot-4 and 200 lbs., Agyemang has given the Americans a big target man up front. In some games, he has been difficult to knock down. He has gotten fouled, giving the USA some free kicks, even if his ball skills aren't always first class. Still, he is too good to ignore. Agyemang also has scored twice for the USMNT, against Trinidad and Haiti. Unfortunately, we did not see enough of the 24-year-old Agyemang's ability against Guatemala. The good news is that it seems that Agyemang reportedly is close to be transferred to Derby County of Championship, the second tier In England, for a reported $8 million. MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - JUNE 29: Matthew Freese #25 of United States dives for the ball during the ... More penalty shootout at the end of the Gold Cup 2025 Quarterfinals against Costa Rica at U.S. Bank Stadium on June 29, 2025 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. (Photo by Jeremy Olson/ISI Photos/ISI Photos via Getty Images) ISI Photos via Getty Images Matt Freese Pochettino gave Freese an opportunity to prove his worth in the tournament. The New York City FC goalkeeper has done OK. Even against Guatemala he looked a bit shaky, leaving rebounds after saves. Elite sides and strikers will slice and dice goalkeepers and teams who do that. Freese grabbed the spotlight in the shootout win over the Central Americans in the semifinals after the team played to a 2-2 draw after 90 minutes. Freese was impressive in the shootout, making three saves in the six-round tie-breaker. But being superb in penalty kicks is just one part of a goalkeeper's skillset. Perhaps the Mexicans will test the 26-year-old Freese in the final and we'll get an opportunity how he deals with pressure against a quality side in a final. Whether Freese will start or be one of three keepers on next year's team could come down to whether another goalie named Matt, Matt Turner, will see plenty of action in Europe this upcoming season. He was a non-entity with Nottingham Forest in the English Premier League, and the team he recently signed with Lyon, has been relegated to the French second division due to financial breaches, although the team is appealing the decision. ARLINGTON, TEXAS - JUNE 22: Head coach Mauricio Pochettino of United States attends the Group Stage ... More - Group D match between United States and Haiti as part of the 2025 CONCACAF Gold Cup at AT&T Stadium on June 22, 2025 in Arlington, Texas. (Photo by) Getty Images It's way too early for any decision When the U.S. gathers for its next international window in September against Japan and the Korea Republic it will be intriguing to see which players are called in. With so few opportunities to have the team playing together before the World Cup, it is mandatory to bring in the best players, even for friendlies. Between now and next May, Pochettino and his staff will be evaluating the U.S. squad on a regular basis. So many factors will go into their decision as to who to select for the team and those to leave out. Well beyond a player's reputation, the top factor is his form and how he can work with his USMNT teammates. There will be dreaded injuries suffered by players between now and then. That's part of the game. That's why getting an opportunity to see some other players just might give the USA a little depth and a better chance to advance deep into the knockout round next year. Every little bit helps. You never know who is going to come off the bench and become an unlikely hero.
