The 2022 World Cup has divided opinion so far, some have loved the drama of the group stage while others have been disappointed with the lack of quality football on display. The group stage was marked by poor quality games, in particular some of the worst defending you could ever expect to see at the […]
Brazil released their squad for the World Cup in Qatar on Monday evening. The big news for Liverpool was that Roberto Firmino missed out, as Pedro, Richarlison, and Gabriel Jesus were chosen over the Reds’ frontman. Fabinho did find his way into the squad, expected to compete for minutes with the Manchester United duo of […]
Let’s take a quick look at how the Liverpool players got on in recent days on international duty at the Euros and Copa America. Shaqiri’s Swiss Delight Xherdan Shaqiri has to be the happiest of LFC players right now. Liverpool and Switzerland’s number 23 played 73 minutes of his team’s pulsating 3-3 draw with France […]
Brazil sailed through to the Copa America final with a 2-0 victory over their eternal rivals, Argentina, on Tuesday night, thanks in no small part to Liverpool players. It is a testament to Liverpool’s growth in recent years that they have players playing in key roles for a footballing powerhouse like Brazil. Goals from Manchester’s […]

The World Cup is one of the biggest tournaments in the sporting calendar. It’s the most popular sporting event in the world and is watched by hundreds of millions, if not billions worldwide. For many football fans, it’s the pinnacle of the sport and the pinnacle of sport in general. But for a lot of […]
The Brazilian footballer Roberto Firmino has said that he has no issues on being used as a backup for his fellow teammate Gabriel Jesus when Brazil start up with their FIFA World Cup journey from 17 June. All the rivalry revolves around the fact that both Roberto Firmino and Gabriel Jesus are the two centre-forward […]
International breaks are a bit of a curate’s egg. Now, that is supposed to mean that there are both good and bad aspects to them and yet the origin of the expression yields a meaning far closer to this columnist’s opinion of the all-too-frequent Premier League interruptions. Apparently, the turn of phrase comes from an […]
I have a theory that you can identify what kind of a Liverpool fan you are and, by extrapolation, what kind of human you are, based on your current attitude to Roberto Firmino. You see, some people are judgers. It’s what they do. (I’m not judging them for it) They feel possessed of some moral […]
