Liverpool Plans Emotional Friendly…

In a plot twist even more mysterious than Hogwarts, the legendary Reds of Liverpool have decided that the show must go on and the ball must roll in memory of the beloved Diogo Jota. With hearts heavier than a sumo wrestler on a bouncy castle, Liverpool has given the nod to kick their friendly showdown against Preston North End into action this weekend. It was a decision discussed at a table longer than the Nile, involving the collective wisdom of everyone involved, from the tea lady to the goal-hungry strikers.

Word from the land of endless rainfall (a.k.a. Preston) says the two clubs chatted like old mates over a pint of football folklore and came to the conclusion that the pitch shall indeed see the dance of ten thousand football boots. Fans, with eyes moist enough to float a rubber duck, are expected to turn up waving flags with thumping great pride in their chests.
