This is another lesson for all Nigerian football followers:

At the 2005 FIFA U20 world cup final in Holland, it was flying eagles of Nigeria vs Argentina. We had promising stars like Mikel obi, taye taiwo, keita, adeleye, isaac promise and others.
Argentina's attackers in that world cup were Di Maria, Messi and Agueiro. These same 3 attackers won Beijing Olympics for Argentina and now copa america
Unfortunately today, none of those squad members of Nigeria flying eagles still plays top level football. they've either retired or tired.
thats because most of them were 30 years in that u20 tornament grin grin grin

Lies. It's a disgrace he is just wining his first Copa Americana at this age despite playing for a whole Argentina in a tournament with relatively weak competition. This is something Argentina should have won at least 4 times in Messi's career. You can't compare it to the Euro's which CR7 has won almost single handedly. Nobody call Messi better than Ronaldo because of this because it's Apples and Oranges.

That Argentina goalkeeper did a great job. I Wonder why nobody is talking about him. He made one save in second half, the shot was so powerful that, I thought he was going to twist is his wrist. I never knew that Brazil team could be that rough on the field. Crazy tackles from all Angeles. Neymar always think that football is about skills and falling down anyhow. Di Maria is a terrorist as far as football is concern. He really troubled Brazil, very resilient and energetic despite is old age. He can outrun 90% of our so called young players in super Eagles.

D pics explains it better..

Nigerian football fans like you are mostly mumus who think like toddlers....Messi was getting undue praise in the national team even while the team couldn't win any major trophy. That's one of the reasons Maradona came out to say that Messi shouldn't be exempted from criticism if the team failed to perform well. But misinformed Nigerian football fans are now telling us that Messi was being criticised for the team's failings as if he was above criticism.

Guy STFU, Portugal successes at Euros 2016 was a collectively drafted effort inspired by an Eder goal, TBH i love Ronaldo but Messi deserves the hype and plaudits around him.
He's the GOAT[i][/i]
7th Balon D'or Loading, inasmuch as i would have loved Lewy to win it, Messi is PHENOMENAL.

Messi is the top scorer in agertina history the top assist provider in agertina history.
He was a golden ball winner at the world cup
He was the golden ball winner at 3 copa America
He was the golden ball winner under 20
He was the golden ball winner at the Olympics

Supposedly He won the world cup at 2014
Supposedly he won won the copa back to back with Argentina 2015/2016
He would have easily be the best player in agertina history.


If football was rated individual this season then messi has no equals this season
* league top scorer
* most assist
* most man of the match
* most goals involvement

CopA America
* Top scorer
* most assist
* most goals involvement
* golden ball winner

He has set his standard so high that this season seems like a poor season to us but
In reality
Any other player with this stat would easily claim d balloon do or
But balloon dor or is now base on trophy
Which keep kante and ledwadosky ahead of him.



which kante..na quarter finals I start to de see kante for champions league..kelvin don de ball since de come sef

Why didn't ur stupid ororo leave and join sampdoria or Eibar, then we will see what will happen to him...
Juventus have always been champions in Italy, whether he joined or not, Juventus would have still won the league, real Madrid too is a big club, surely dey will still win league without Ronaldo .. So what are u saying?? If Messi also leaves to join PSG or Bayern Munich or Juventus, he will also win the league....

Ronaldo is a great player no doubt, but Messi is far better, its impossible for Messi to be on the field without you noticing his impact, unlike Ronaldo that will be in the front waiting for ball to come to him. Messi will go all out to hustle for the ball all by himself and try to find his way to the goalkeeper. The only areas Ronaldo is better than Messi is in using head to score goals, Messi cannot compete with him in that. Messi doesn't not really know how to sheer or encourage his players by clapping for them unlike Ronaldo, Messi would rather take the game up on himself and depend on nobody for help. Both guys are good. people mostly like Ronaldo because of his looks and swag, always want to be noticed. I remember his days in Man U, he would applied all the hair cream in the world to is hair and be looking like someone going for photoshoot. That is why he has more female fans than Messi.
