Absolutely no age, that.

Incredible footballer. Always seemed to just pop out of nowhere and score goals, and we've been on the other end of that.

Thoughts go with his family and friends. Awful news.

Oh, and it wouldn't be us if I nobody pointed out that his goal against us this season should have been ruled offside as Luis Diaz was miles offside and intervened with the play
 

Absolutely awful. Obviously I didn't know much about him or his brother, but he was a heck of a player.
 
Tragic but frankly innocent lives are lost via vehicular accidents every hour around the globe and considering the dire humanitarian crisis & ongoing genocide, the imbalance on empathy for human suffering and loss is incomprehensible
That might be true. But there's sometimes a better time and place to remind people of that. Now maybe isnt the best time or place..

Imbalance? This is a thread on a football forum about a footballer who plays for our neighbouring club who died tragically young and not somewhere to balance empathy for global human suffering.

Terrible news and thoughts especially with the family who have lost two young men.
 

Tomorrow is not guaranteed for anyone, we all go through life thinking where we will or want to be in x amount of years, that may never arrive.

Live each day like it’s your last.

Sad sad news that someone like like Jota and his brother who had the world at his feet is now no longer with us.

RIP X

Just different if it's someone of whose existence you are well aware of and who has been part of your actual conscious experience. But maybe you are a superior purely rational being.

This is awful and of course very upsetting having just seen him living and breathing and playing for his country a few weeks ago.

I'm sorry I don't agree with all this "what about people dying in this place" nonsense. Obviously Hillsborough disaster had stronger emotional affect on Scousers Red and Blue, because it was or could have been their loved ones. Rhys Jones murder affected people in Liverpool, because it was closer to home. Because millions have watched Jota play, they'll notice him gone. Nobody's claimed his life is worth more than someone who dies on M62, it's just not normal for a 28 year old premier league player to die.

Really poorly thought out post, mate.

Firstly - We can all have room for both. We can be gutted on a daily basis for those being killed and subjected to horrors around the world, and also mourn the loss of a young lad with 3 kids.

Secondly - This is a football forum. We all share an interest that would obviously make this hit a little closer to home, not to mention the fact he plays for our near neighbours.

Sometimes best just to say nothing.
