To say I never met him this has mega hit me. One of the best players during the best period of my life as a wolves fan. Chanted his name week in week out, and was a genuinly likeable guy off the pitch. From a few people I know who met him or spent time with him it wasn’t a front, he was a nice guy who loved football. So so sad.

So sad.

As a footballer, no drama, name never mentioned in the media for bait shit seemed like a stand up player - who was also a bit of a shithouse on the pitch which I love.

Married 10 days ago, 3 kids as well :frowning:

Heartbreaking. RIP. Always great to watch play. He had that bit of unpredictability and speed of thought which made for really exciting forward play.

I can imagine watching him Neves and Jiminez at Wolves was quite special :saluting_face:

Very sad. RIP Jota

I’ve just got back from Molineux and truthfully it was quite tough. All I could think about was his wife, children, family and friends.

In the space of 6 weeks he’s won the Premier League, Nations League, got married and now sadly passed away.

Life is mental, don’t take the good times for granted!

Portugal getting absolutely smoked by Spain in the Women’s Euros.

Don’t think the Spainish keeper has touched the ball.

Half time 4-0. On ITV. Feels like Spain haven’t got out of second gear either!

Edit: just checked the FIFA Rankings - Portugal are 22nd

That’s great to see.

How hard this has hit everyone clearly shows what a lovely guy he was.

Reading some of his teammates posts has had me in tears several times.

Are spain number 1?

Ewww… Just checked. USA are.

Yeah Spain are favs to win this, as the USA aren’t in the euros obviously.

Remember when the US team agreed to be part of this bigheaded advert?

She was one of the first to openly refuse Trump’s invite to the White House if they won the World Cup in 2019, which they did and they did refuse to show up to meet him afterwards, despite doing so with Obama years previously.

Every tournament they played, he’d turn on them (usually Rapinoe taking the brunt of the social media tirades) and she’s used her position of influence off the pitch quite well to anger that petty little fat orange prick. On paper, he likes everything they are and do - strong, outspoken, athletic, dominant, successful - but they’re women, and many are gay women who refuse to bow down to him, and he absolutely cannot handle that.

So, despite the outragous levels of fromage with that USA vs The World, I’ve got a lot a lot of time and respect for her and what she represents.

Awful news about Jota and his brother Andre. Proper tearjerker tributes rolling in on social media, seemed like a properly sound character.
