Progress

🚨 NEW: Andoni Iraola has reportedly drawn up a five-player shortlist of players who are not part of his plans. The players are: Curtis Jones Cody Gakpo Jeremie Frimpong Ryan Gravenberch….see below

@D_AlexanderLFC Man they were humbled by this Spanish brilliance. I expected Spain to win but not like this

Hugo ekitike would’ve broken this Spain super defense but you’ll are not ready for this conversation.

@_kellyUnited Why are you adding my boy Barcola to the list please

Players who shouldn't have made France's World Cup squad: 1. Barcola. (PSG) 2. Lacroix. (CHELSEA) 3. Digne. (PSG) 4.Tchouaméni. (RM)

@DossenaLFC They are finally going home because it’s now 2:0 to the Spanish

Barcola doing everything he can to reduce his transfer fee.

@WinsLFC What did he do there now please?🤔

This is why Liverpool want to sign Barcola 🔥 Just look at how France are PASSING the ball... Dembele, Mbappe, Barcola, Olise.

@Humphrey_Pato You might just end up keeping him at the club and to me he’s even better than most of your cbs

@FoxxEren Crazy how many of us thought Mbappe would get passed him easily

🚨🗣️CUBARSI FOR BALLON DOR‼️‼️ 🚨WHAT A DEFENDER‼️ BARCA WITH THE BEST ACADEMY‼️

@donaldpena34391 Wow someone got it correctly. I think Spain wins this now

Quote with the person you feel will score first in this match

@DossenaLFC I thought he replaced Saliba after the injury

Ibrahima Konate since leaving Liverpool:

@SprightlyCFC Spain has finally scored and what were you saying earlier?

@Progress_Lfc Two are not making the final today and tomorrow

Our stars still remaining at the 2026 FIFA World Cup: 🇦🇷 Alexis Mac Allister 🇪🇸 Víctor Muñoz 🇫🇷 👀 Who scales through to the final?

🗣️ Future Bradley Barcola quote when he finally joins Liverpool: “The Premier League is on another level. The intensity and physical battles in every game are relentless. I’ve always admired Liverpool, the energy they play with and the atmosphere at Anfield are incredible. It’s exactly the kind of challenge I wanted as a player.” #LFC

Andoni Iraola on Curtis Jones: “I rate Curtis very highly. For me he is a great player. It’s very important he’s Scouse, that he’s from here. I also like his personality. I hope we can keep him, not only for this year, but for much longer.”👇

🚨 Jamie Carragher has questioned Liverpool’s approach in the transfer market. 🗣️ “I’m struggling to understand Liverpool’s strategy right now. You’ve brought in a new manager in Andoni Iraola, but the transfer activity hasn’t matched the ambition. They’ve signed Muñoz they brought from Osasuna, but there still hasn’t been a statement signing that makes fans believe they’re ready to compete on every front. After the way last season ended, Liverpool should be looking to strengthen in midfield, add more firepower in attack, and start planning for life after Mohamed Salah. Those are key areas that need addressing. The longer they wait, the more difficult it becomes. Fans need something to believe in before the season starts.”

Jeremy Jacquet on Manchester United’s reported interest: “Honestly, a lot of false things have been said. I’d been talking to Liverpool for a long time. There were other clubs too… I quickly saw myself at Liverpool.” When Liverpool call, you answer. It was always Liverpool for me. #ynwa

@Tarzanjr554 Are you ready to pay £130m for him and when Ekitike returns, what then happens?

Ekitike is set for a spell on the sidelines. Would you take Julián Álvarez as Liverpool’s backup No. 9? 🤔

@markklfc Maybe he’s picking experience over youth today. You can’t fault him especially when Fabian Ruiz has proven that he’s more than capable

Zlatan Ibrahimović on Luis de la Fuente benching Pedri for the FIFA World Cup semi-final against France. 🗣️ “This is exactly why some managers lose the biggest matches before the referee even blows the whistle. You have one of the best midfielders in the world sitting on the bench, and you expect to dominate France? That’s madness.” “Pedri is the player who makes Spain breathe with the ball. He controls the rhythm, kills pressure and dictates the game. Leaving him out is like buying a Ferrari and keeping it locked in the garage while you drive a family car.” “Don’t tell me it’s a tactical decision. Your biggest tactical weapon is wearing a bib on the bench. If you’re afraid to trust your best players in a World Cup semi-final, then maybe you’re afraid of winning too.” “France won’t care about excuses after the match. They’ll punish every mistake. And if Spain lose control of the midfield, everyone will look at the bench and ask the same question: ‘Why was Pedri sitting there?’ The manager will have nobody else to blame.” “Great coaches don’t hide their best footballers. They build the team around them. Benching Pedri in the biggest game of the tournament is a decision that screams doubt, not confidence.” “If Spain go out tonight, don’t blame luck, don’t blame the referee and don’t blame the players. Start by looking at the teamsheet. Sometimes the biggest mistake in football isn’t made on the pitch it’s made before the match even starts.”

@BIGEMMYLFC Our player to be starts wow…. but I’m team Spain 😭

Konate on the bench,barcola starts.

@Preshie_AFC All these players wanting a club that isn’t ready to pay their respective clubs asking fee

🚨 Morgan Rogers remains Arsenal’s No. 1 target for the winger/attacking midfield role this summer. 🏴⭐️ Although Tottenham have shown interest in the Aston Villa star, Rogers is understood to be prioritising a move to Arsenal if an agreement between the clubs can be reached. [@HandofArsenal ]

@QofAnfield @grok Spain wins 2:1. That’s my final prediction

Hey @grok, predict the winner.
