## Resource

Jamie Rudd opens with the devastating news of Liverpool striker Diogo Jota's tragic death in a car crash in Spain at just 28 years old, two weeks after his wedding. After paying tribute to the Portuguese international, we recap the USMNT's advance to the Gold Cup final thanks to Diego Luna's brilliant brace against Guatemala, setting up a showdown with Mexico in Houston. Plus, a preview of this weekend's Club World Cup quarterfinals - Al-Hilal vs Fluminense, Palmeiras vs Chelsea, PSG vs Bayern Munich, and Real Madrid vs Borussia Dortmund. Sometimes football puts everything into perspective.
