traware: He blames himself,learns from his mistake/s and improves himself for future successes.Unlike ...... You need proof?Just look at the plans the Germans laid-out and strictly adhered to after their failures at Euro 2000 and Euro 2004.Now those are a people who possess a world-class mentality.Compare them to Nigerians whose plan is to win the world cup via luck and prayers.I dey laff

daryoor: it more of the fact that he is a defender not because he is black, he sticks to the defence line unlike lahm. if he was the striker won't they call him frequently whether he is white black green purple rebulican or vegetarian

Since we like blaming the white man whenever we fail, so who does the white man blame when he fails?

abatically:

Ha ha ha, I couldn't stop laughing when some Nigerians were actually thinking we can win the world cup with average players. Ask them why they think so they would tell u through prayers. We pay too much attention to religion and superstitions and that is why we are backward. A white man that introduced Christianity to us would pray silently for 5 mins and then spend most of his time working towards success. A black man on the other hand will pray for 2 hours and less time working expecting a miracle.

Why must we always have someone to blame? If we don't blame the white man we would blame one old woman in the village.

Ashantiking:

Exactly, whose name gets called more than Ballotelli on the italian team. Even their best pirlo don't get mention as much as Ballotelli.

Ashantiking:

Damn you make too much sense. I wish more Africans were like you. Religion is their bread and butter, instead of hard work. Cosign a billion times. Love this comment, with people like you Africa will rise.

Ashantiking:

Excellent comment. Black people love yelling racism at any given chance.

SHUT UP YOUR DIRTY STINKING TRAP, YOU DUMB SLAVE. How many ''white men'' exactly do you know or have you met? The vast majority of ''white men'' spend most of their time between the workplace and the PUB or BAR, where they spend far more than ''2 hrs'' drinking themselves to a stupor, not ''spending 5 minutes praying and working to success'' as your slave brain imagines. So don't come in here crediting them with bullshiit just because you feel inferior. Idiatt.

Swagahyk: he would have been noticed much if Di Maria had been in the match, his side was hardly used by the Argentines, Aguero could'nt deliver it was much on Howedes and Hummels on the other flank. even hummels was hardly mentioned.

Bros, I've lived in the West for many years. Yes racism does exist (I never said it doesn't), but it is not as much as we make it look. The reason lots of people think this way is they have it in their head, like they are always looking for a racist situation and strike at every slight opportunity. If a policeman stops a white man speeding above recommended speed limit and asks for his papers, ITS ALL GOOD. But when the same policeman stops a black man for the same offense it becomes RACISM.

I'll give u an example.. let's assume a poor man suddenly gets rich overnight, and after a few months his child dies. An average Nigerian would conclude he used his child for money ritual without even trying to investigate. A white man on the other hand would carry out an autopsy to find out the cause of his death and if they can't find anything it is an act of God.

Another example, I have seen an innocent Nigerian give a pregnant woman a lift to her destination and along the way the woman died in his car. The mob practically lynched this innocent man and almost set him ablaze but for the intervention of the police. They claimed he used the woman for ritual... I mean that is the way we reason in this country. We act based on the first thing that comes to our minds, without having a re think.

A thread was opened on nairaland yesterday after FIFA gave awards, the topic was 'No golden boot award'? and the OP was so confident FIFA didn't give golden boot award because it was not shown on camera. Someone even commented that FIFA was trying to secretly give the award to Messi. I mean who reasons like that? Everyone knows James Rodriguez won golden boot, he wasn't probably around and that was why they couldn't capture the presentation.
