ask4grace: he did not dive because of the way messi played the ball. messi brot his right leg close to the ball then usedhis left to kick the ball. so belive me no keeper can catch that kind of trickish ball

Odunharry:
tell d op...i av neva seen where a freekick is bn taken and the gk will stand in d middle of d goal post...
Dy stand a lil closer to the other side than where d wall is bn formed

Rossikk:

What 'career at stake' nonsense are you on about? The game is so corrupt today that his NOT succumbing to the apriori 'fixed result' would be more damaging to his career than his doing so. And no. The allegation is not ''baseless'' at all. Watch the freekick again if it helps.

Mr Mac-10:
MESSI IS A GOD. THAT'S why

zamua:

Actually, they stand between the gap where the wall stops and the other post. It's the standard practise everywhere.

You can blame this goalkeeper because the goal was scored in the area of the net he was supposed to be guarding. Maybe Rooney's run convinced him but this was poor from him. However, his starting position was correct and he should be minding the side of the net he's guarding.
Best response.

nonjebose: This is nonsense. How many freekicks scored by messi did the GK dive for? If you are really asking a serious question,then you need to t know that walls are arranged by the GK to reduce the angle of vision of the taker. A good free kick taker would still locate a crack or weakness in the wall. Ask Okocha how he leaves keepers stranded,or better still Ronaldo

gannod: The free kick could av gone either way. Vincent did his best,hence we should give him credit for that.

Please Moderator close this thread. We have total idiots talking. Pls watch the video again...if you have a functioning brain you will see that enyeama couldn't see the ball...why will he dive if he cant see the ball in the first place People like you annoy me.

kendrick93: ronaldo is no free kick specialist..

Rossikk: Why Didn't Enyeama Dive For that Messi's Freekick?

I also find his positioning for the kick very dodgy indeed. Like he was inviting Messi to score on his left side. The gap he left to his left was so wide. So why didn't he dive when the ball got there? Where else was he expecting the ball to go? ALL VERY VERY DODGY.

Match fixing anyone?

Rossikk: Oh.. one more thing.. What was all that drama by Enyeama about after he let the goal in? Was he surprised Messi played the ball to his left side? Why should he be surprised? Where else did he expect Messi to play the ball? He looked like he was play-acting by feigning anger or surprise.

Rossikk: ^^ If you check, some visitors concur with my hypothesis. So it's you who needs an IQ upgrade.

Rossikk:

BULLSSSHIIIT

myads890: i think say na only me see am. i even mentioned it while watching that match but nigerians are very sentimental in their judgement. what else do you expect from people who keep on voting in even worse corrupt officials into public offices.

Rossikk:

Kindly spare me that ''Argentina are the better team'' line. That claim can ONLY be based on a game between the two nations that is CLEAN. If you cannot show the game was CLEAN, you cannot make any claim as to which team is ''better''. Was it not Argentina we beat 4-1 in Abuja? So nothing is certified. And there is NO reason we should expect to lose to them. International match-fixing, involving huge betting syndicates, often aims to entrench those hierarchical stereotypes, those predictable scorelines, at big events like the world cup. One could almost swear that that Nigeria v Argentina game would end in a narrow 2-1 or 3-2 scoreline in favour of the Argentines. That protects all kinds of betting regimes involving countless billions of dollars globally. A Nigeria win simply wasn't 'on the cards'. It would have lost far too much money to far too many people.
