🚨Van Dijk on Japan Fans Cleaning the Stadium and Endo Retirement: 🗣️"A reporter caught up with me right on the touchline after the game and asked, 'Virgil, a brilliant personal milestone with your first World Cup goal, but a tough pill to swallow conceding late. How do you summarize the match, and what are your thoughts seeing the Japanese fans staying back to clean the stadium?' I took a second, looked up at the stands, and told him, 'Look, it’s obviously a bit frustrating from our side because we held the lead twice, and connecting with Ryan's cross to get my header into the back of the net felt amazing. But you have to give massive credit to Japan—they are a fantastic, technically gifted side that never knows when they are beaten But honestly, if you want to talk about what makes football beautiful, just look around the stadium right now. Their team just fought back to secure a massive point at the death, and instead of just wild partying, their supporters are actively walking through the rows with blue trash bags, collecting litter and leaving the stadium completely spotless. It is an incredible display of humility and pure respect that transcends sports. They show the exact same class on the terraces that their players show on the pitch, and the entire world can learn a lot from them. I also want to take a moment to speak about my #LFC teammate, Wataru Endo. I went over to hug him at full time because I know this tournament marks the final chapter of his incredible international career. He is a warrior, a fantastic leader for the Samurai Blue, and an absolute credit to his country. I told him on the pitch how immensely proud he should be of everything he has built for Japanese football. I wish Wataru nothing but the absolute best of luck in his international retirement—he deserves a legendary send-off, and we are waiting to welcome him back to Merseyside with open arms.'

THIS 40 YEAR OLD KEEPER OF CAPE VERDE HAS TURNED INTO PRIME NEUER THIS MATCH AND HE IS DENYING SPAIN ALL OF THE CHANCE THEY HAVE #ESPCPV #FIFAWorldCup

🚨 NEW: There’s an acceptance internally that, due to the World Cup and Iraola’s desire to assess the talent he’s inherited in the early stages of pre-season, business is more likely to happen later in the window this time around, reports [@JamesPearceLFC] #LFC

Happy Birthday to the Manager who made Liverpool Great again and return to the Standards we needed man I hope he has a good time off the management and Klopp give us some discount on yan diomande man😅 #LFC

"우리는 이번 월드컵 기간 동안 언론과의 관계를 끊기로 결정했으며, 추후 별도의 공지가 있을 때까지 언론과 어떠한 계약도 맺지 않을 것입니다".

Vozinha vs Spain. An absolute brick wall. 🇨🇻🧱 The Cape Verde veteran single-handedly frustrated the European champions in Atlanta. Denying world-class attackers for 90 minutes straight to secure a historic World Cup point to pull out the upset of the tournament #ESPCPV #FIFAWorldCup #TubarõesAzuis x.com/depchicoalencar/status…

Show me the best display by a goalkeeper of the World Cup so far:

Asian Countries are showing what they are made of and this world cup might go into the AGES MAN. THE BIGGEST SPORT EVENT FOR A REASON MAN #FIFAWorldCup

Liverpool are ready to offer more than Paris Saint-Germain in terms of contract to Yan Diomande in order to attract him. PSG still waiting for the right solution for Bradley Barcola. #LFC are still pushing and are aware of PSG interest. [@FabrizioRomano YT]

[POV: If the filters were completely off in the Atlanta mixed zone... 🇪🇸🇨🇻] 🚨Lamine Yamal on Spain Playstyle and Cape Verde heroics and Fight: "A reporter stopped me in the tunnel while I was walking back to the dressing room, asking, 'Lamine, a frustrating afternoon for Spain. You came on late to try and inject some life into the attack, but the breakthrough never came. What went wrong out there?' I stopped, adjusted my training jacket, and gave it to him completely straight. I said, 'Look, it's a massive disappointment for us because we completely dominated the ball and had total control of the game, but control means nothing if you don't put the ball in the back of the net. Even when the coach sent me on to try and open things up, we just couldn't find that final clinical touch. We created enough opportunities to win this game three times over, but honestly, we just weren't able to finish our chances today. But look, you have to stand up and give massive congrats to Cape Verde. Everyone called us the overwhelming favorites of this tournament, but they came onto this pitch with a clear plan, worked their socks off for 90 minutes, and fought for every single ball like their lives depended on it. The way they played and how they held their ground against us deserves total respect from the football world. It’s a wake-up call for us, for sure. But I promise you one thing—this group is strong, we know what we need to correct, and Spain will definitely come back stronger next match for sure.'" #ESPCPV #FIFAWorldCup
