Despite FIFA and the USA's best efforts, this is just simply the greatest sport in the world

Virgil van Dijk on Wataru Endō after Japan’s 2-2 draw with the Netherlands national football team: 🗣️ “I have to say, that moment with Endō’s shirt left on the bench… it was emotional. Even as an opponent, you could feel the weight of it. To hear he withdrew from the squad due to injury and then announced his retirement on the eve of the World Cup that’s heartbreaking. No player deserves that. Not after all the years of sacrifice and discipline it takes to reach this stage. When you step out on that pitch and you know a teammate like that should have been there, it changes something in the atmosphere. You feel it in the dressing room, you feel it during the match, and you definitely feel it after the final whistle. What Japan did tonight by keeping his jersey with them wasn’t just respect—it was love. It showed how much he means to that group, not just as a player but as a leader. As a footballer, you understand how fragile these moments are. One injury, one twist of fate, and a dream can disappear right before your eyes. That’s the cruel side of this game people don’t always see. So when I saw that shirt on the bench, I didn’t see a symbol of absence. I saw a reminder of what they’re fighting for. And honestly, teams that carry that kind of emotion with them… they become very dangerous. Very united. Very hard to break down. Tonight wasn’t just about a 2-2 draw. It was about a team playing with someone in their hearts who couldn’t be on the pitch with them.”

Happy birthday, Egyptian King 👑
