I hope you are not shaking the table too early for your mentor. You forgot how he rolls, as regards winning or playing world cup final as the most important? I don't want to remind you his view.

When I question your intelligence now it would sound like I'm insulting you. A center forward failed to score a single goal in 6 games and you're trying to remind me of views

Which views do you need to know that Giroud has been the worst #9 at this World cup

airmark:
You are ridiculous. Pavard for his one-off? Tolisso who was not good enough to start the semis? Rebic with his epileptic performances? He even missed alot of chances against England. You are a joke. They are average joes carried by Modric, Rakitic, Subasic and co.

Maybe one or none of these would make world cup best XI because they didn't deliver anything spectacular, consistently enough.

One off? Is this one alright at all? You asked for crucial contribution I gave it to you and you're still yarning dust shamelessly. Wetin concern me with World Cup best XI?

I listed 4 players who made important contributions to help their team win and you're busy frothing in the mouth.

You must be senile! Are Modric, Subasic, Rakitic from the EPL? See how this omugo is famzing. Agbaya alailojuti

Giroud, Pogba, Lovren, Kante, Mendy = 0 Goals.

afrodoc2:
They have been unlucky but you may be right to an extent too. The whole nation (including the players) has been wired to believe a single player will do a Maradona and win the cup singlehandedly. And every 4 years the real Maradona comes out to heap more pressure on the team.
The 02 to 10 teams were affected by coaching errors, now the team is just not good enough.

This is largely true to an extent but this speaks to their mental midgetry as well. Remember 94? A washed up 34 yo Maradona got tossed out of the competition and they got beaten by Bulgaria and Romania.

Even with the coaching errors which IMO were minimal, especially in 02 and 06 they were too talented to fail that badly.

Defense - Ayala, Samuel, Sorin, Zanetti.

Midfield - Veron, Riquelme, Simeone, Aimar, Ortega

We all know about their attack.
.
For me they were a bunch of bottlers tbvh

airmark:
Who are the remaining players from Germany, starting in the final?. I am sure of Kante, Lloris, Pogba, Giroud, Lovren starting the match, list those carry along players from Germany and i will tell you players carrying them.

You're are not even ashamed to mention Giroud the worst striker at this World Cup

airmark:
We are talking about quality now, not quantity, since the two leagues tied in quantity you dolt.

When you have majority of burnthisleaguedown reps, contributing little or nothing, it should tell you that they are being carried by the stars in their teams. Players like Tolisso should only be allowed to touch the world cup once during celebration(no picture with family members), if France win it.

You don't know when to stop yarning megedefegede. The only game Tolisso started he beasted and provided an assist
Pavard another Bundesliga product scored the crucial equalizer that brought France level vs Argentina.

Rebic started the demolition job against same Argentina.

Kramaric tied the game vs Russia.

Meanwhile all the players you listed combined 0 goals!! So who is carrying who?

afrodoc2:
On your first 2 points i think you are spot on. In terms of the Argentine players, i think they have had an unusual run of bad luck in terms of coaching and the final make up of the squad and in some ways it even extends to today.

Take for example the 2002 team in which the coach persisted in playing through an aged Batistuta when you had younger players like Claudio Lopez, Kily Gonzales and Crespo in the squad. Then he also went picked an unbalanced squad with 4 or 5 playmakers (Ortega, Veron, Gallardo, Aimar) to the world cup cos they were the best players.

In 2006 the coach inexplicably took out Riquelme and Crespo in a match they were leading against Germany and left Messi on the bench and you know what happened next. That was a case of the coach blowing it, not the players.

2010 world cup was wasted by taking an alcoholic and junkie coach in Maradona who wasted a slot on the team on his aged Boca drinking companion Martin Palermo.

As an aside, do you notice how Argentina had too many playmakers about 15yrs ago and not enough strikers while now they have too many strikers and no playmakers.

Coaching is definitely a factor but considering how well they do at age grade level you start to wonder if them sef dey use football age like we do.

For 2002 I think it would have been tough to sit a National team icon like Batistuta but Crespo is the only guy I would have played ahead of him. I think Kily was a midfielder if na the Valencia Kily you dey talk. Lopez had a poor World cup. Overall they had a very good squad if you ask me because I can recall it was them and France that were the top 2 favorites going to that WC

For 2006 you might be right but Argentina's goal came from a setpiece in the first half. Riquelme's influence had waned in the second so I wouldn't blame the coach for taking out a luxury player like Riquelme when trying to defend a lead vs the home team. I agree he could have brought on Messi but Messi was only 18, there's no telling if he would have had an impact or not

We can agree on 2010. However when a team keeps falling on its arse even against inferior opposition like England and Sweden in 02 and Germany in 06 and 10 then you just can't rule out mental midgetry

Their problem is a weird one but I still feel they aren't the only country that deals with an imbalance in their squad of some sort

afrodoc2:
Riquelme was one of the most artistic playmakers of the modern era and he could be effective too.
He was a classical no 10 but was lacking in work rate and speed but 1st touch, close control dribbling, vision, passing range and selection, crossing and long range shooting were all world class.

He was just one of the players whose Barca careers Van Gaal derailed because of his (Van Gaal’s) stubbornness.

He never wanted him in the club and therefore rarely played him and when he did he played him out of position.

Stylistically he was like Valeron but better than Valeron.
Talent level was at par with Mendietta.

Comparing him to Guti and especially Gago is laughable.

Riquelme had a relatively short prime in Europe maybe 2 seasons or less, I think he balled more for Argentina than at club level

He stayed for too long at Argentina. Had he come to Europe at a younger age the European aspects of the game would have been a lot easier for him to imbibe. In terms of naturally gifted talent I'd even say he was better than Mendieta but he didn't come to Europe in time.

I also think that generation of Argentine players were mental midgets Aimar, Saviola, Riquelme

airmark:
I don't even know the big names from burnthisleaguedown that would be featuring in the final. They must be 5th tier players(according to your mentor).

You don't need to know them. What you need to know is that at least two of them will be lifting a World Cup trophy and at least 3 of them would start that Final

raumdeuter:
I rate Rui Costa higher, Maybe Dela Pena or what do you think Mendieta? Actually I know its Juan Carlos Valeron

Naa Mendieta was a Don, definitely better than Riquelme

You guys are in a kpenkelemes for next season oh lowkey. The calmness una dey display is it out of resignation to that fact abi another thing dey involved

Ibime:
Assist in the final

Purely talking about goals bruh. Nobody remembers who dished the assist.

raumdeuter:
That's the key question, at the world cup EPL and Bundesliga still have same number of players in the final despite all the noise

I just tire. We kept hearing how 400 players from the EPL were at the semis so imagine my shock to see say na the same reps go dey Final.

Ibime:
Schurrle 2014

When Brazil were down 5-0?

airmark:
So burnthisleaguedown's quality became poor after 2014. Good to know, they should just merge Polish league with that useless league, maybe the quality will improve.

Then we should merge the EPL with the Irish league since even at it's peak it is presenting the same number of players as the Bundesliga at a World cup final

Come to think of it oya tell us when was the last time an EPL player decided a WC Final or semifinals? Please don't be shameless and mention Emmanuel Petit

airmark:
Raumdeuter caught by his own trap. He has disappeared.

cc ajakaja40 a40

Bundesliga players did their part in 2014. Last I checked they didn't make the World cup for only Bundesliga players you this phoolish old beast of burden.

homesteady:
EPL - 6
La Liga - 10
League 1 - 9
Italy - 6
Bundesliga - 6

So after all their noise of 400 players in the semis we still ended up with the same number of EPL and Bundesliga players in the Final.

Lmaooo! Oshi o da ni ile pako

Roland17:
My problem with Pep and Sane is well on this forum established especially with Pep's decision to drop bench him earlier in the season because of free scoring Sterling. Sane is the best winger at City in my opinion but he does not score enough because he wants to create.

Pep is under a lot of pressure to succeed in England, consequently, he is more result oriented and that includes goals which Sterling gave him last season.

Lol it is only at City you can get away with Sterling's wastefulness due to the chances they create. I don't even feel right calling him free-scoring

Pep legit chased that warrior Mandzukic out of Bayern

You see another reason why I can't stand that phuckin overrated Catalan

Hazardfan1:
I wasn't the only one who trolled Neymar last week, the whole world did. I bet you saw different memes popping out about his stupid antics.

You hardly find anyone who criticised Hazard, (he did his best even though it wasn't enough) after yesterday's match unlike the way they did Neymar.

That says a lot.

For his diving and not his actual play on the pitch

Only a hypocrite would castigate Neymar for his on-pitch performance yet hype Hazard's

3 dribbles
7 key passes
1 shot on target in 90mins

19 dribbles.
0 shots on target.
1 key pass in 180mins

Men lie women lie but the numbers don't

Forget club beef or banter

19 dribbles and 1 chance created. In 180 mins!! Can't believe people are actually defending this crap

Hazardfan1:
I know you guys have been waiting for Belgium to fail after Neymar disgraced himself last week with his stupid dives....

Most of these sites y'all are praising now rated Hazard as one of the best performers.

You lot are free to choose whatever y'all want.

Neymar is home, Hazard's team dumped him out, Hazard is still in Russia and his country could be the 3rd best in the world.

He had shot on target against France. Agree or not.Na u sabi.

All I know is that with Hazard, you and Raumdeuter have never been consistent, the season he was creating lots of chances for Chelsea,y'all didn't consider Chances created as a strong point.

It's funny how y'all are not yapping about chances created.

As good as you want us to rate Neymar, he had a worse WC showing than Hazard had but no, let's crucify Hazard.

I hope you have now learnt not to troll prematurely. You lot dragged Neymar with lots of glee but bar his disgraceful dives he was a lot better than Hazard in this match and definitely the last one.

I used the site to merely highlight their respective contributions and enlighten those who are easily swayed by shakushaku and legbegbe moves on the pitch.

He had 0 shot on target vs France. You can table your complaints to whoscored not me

When he was creating chances? So how about now that he isn't creating or scoring what should we rate him with? Dribbles?

It is the height of witchcraft to drag Neymar for creating 7 chances in one game they lost then praise Hidden Hazard for creating just 1 chance and ZERO shot on target in the game they also lost

madrid5:
if hazard comes to Madrid I hope those two idiots up there don't disturb our thread oh,we don't have time for Bayern fools the barca ones are enough

Then you better be ready to create your own social platform you decrepit efulefu. E say our thread like say him and Seun follow write code

Werey alaso

airmark:
Since those are not the only parameters used to measure a player's performance, let's put it to rest:

Ratings are subject to opinion. The actual match contributions is what I care about and they show

0 shot on target
1 chance created

In 180mins of football

Hazardfan1:
0 shot on target, really?

Why una dey do like ds sef.

The goal-bound shot dt Varane nodded to corner, who took it?

Its not recorded as a shot on target anywhere. Don't blame me I don't make the rules

raumdeuter:
That's why many sensible coaches will be wary of hazard. He got his football education upside down. He wasn't thought that the reason an attacker is on the field is to score, create chances and make assists. A footballer in his late twenties that doesn't know why he's on the field.

When he has tools like airmark hailing his monkey post plays

He should be playing Futsal or street ball. When your supposed best player is only creating one chance from open play in two matches then you should know you're already phucked

Even with them chasing the game he was still dancing his usual shakushaku instead of looking up and trying to shoot or ping passes capable of unlocking defenses

airmark:
Show me any site that rated Hazard as the flop of the match, you blind salamander.

Alailojuti ni yin Sir

Two games
19 dribbles
1 chance created
0 shot on target

Weluya the L biko

raumdeuter:
Na then you go dey hear shameful things like he completed the most dribbles in world cup history. Without shots on target, what kind of unproductive player is that. With hazard you don't even need a keeper. Cos shooting or scoring isn't in his agenda

In two matches (QF and SF)

19 dribbles
0 shots on target
1 chance created

Still on still that foolish village oso known as airmark would be chatting nonsense.

Someone that claims to have brain would see such numbers and still be talking about Whoscored rating. Can you see madness on display?

airmark:
Now the rating is arbitrary, because it exposes you as a fool. Sensible people that watched the match saw Hazard tried his best, unlike some of his colleagues that didn't up their games.

Saying Hazard was the reason Belgium lost, reconfirmed our view about you being a foolish football fan.

You're a simp! Hazard failed at the two critical contributions usually required to win football matches.

Shots on target
Chance creation

It is only village eediots like you that are easily swindled by dribbles and legbegbe moves that don't translate to anything

airmark:
Exactly bro. We saw how France tried to close spaces around him and despite that he still managed to make things happen. France defence was awesome and Belgium missed Muneir a lot and Dembele really disappointed me.

He made things happen yet he created just one chance. You're dyslexic

airmark:
This is a stupid line and i believe you know it. Can you say Hazard flopped or blame him for Belgium's loss yesterday, if you actually watched the match?



Thanks bro. You really don't know this dude bearing a40. We didn't name him ajakaja40 (mad dog) for no reason.

Shut up your smelling mouth you old phool! Belgium would have stood a better chance if Hazard looked up, dribbled less and played the way sensible #10's should

If France did not have a wasteman of a striker like Giroud, Belgium would have lost with a far more disgraceful scoreline

10 dribbles yet only created one paltry chance. Pathetic

raumdeuter:
Basically hazard didn't create any shot that the keeper had to save yesterday and vs. Brazil. I can't even remember if he did vs. Japan

World cup as an attacker 2 goals against Panama 1 of them being a penalty

Yet the neymar you and your friends were laughing at had 2 goals from open play

Since I've been watching football almost 30 years I never see #10 wey no dey create chance like Hidden

vs Brazil 9 dribbles, 0 shots on target, 0 chances created, 12 shaku shakus completed

Even the Neymar dem dey yab created 7 chances

He is a disgrace to Pele, Maradona, Platini, Zidane and everybody who has ever worn the #10 shirt

airmark:
Since you are standing by whoscored's numbers, can you tell us who whoscored rated as the best player in that Belgium team?

You're just a daft and obtuse egret. We are talking of actual tangible contributions but a simp like you is talking about arbitrary stuff like ratings!

Mugu! A supposed #10 created just 1 chance, 10 dribbles, 15 shaku shakus and ZERO shots on target and you're yarning megedefegede

Or Varane.

I pardon am sha cos he did the Lord's work in Brazil

What is this nonsense I'm seeing about us trying to pay Fjete-Arp €5m a year? Even if he's coming on a free which kin maga pattern be that? Gats be rumor sha

monerozi5590:
This is the definition of shot on target.

Shot on target
Any goal attempt that:
1. a) Goes into the net
2. b) Would have gone into the net but for being stopped by a goalkeeper's save
3. c) Would have gone into the net but for being stopped by a defender who is the last man.

Oga argue with whoscored.com

They are not stupid for not adjudging that as a Shot on target

monerozi5590:
Did you really watch the match or maybe you are the type that depends on statistics alone to analyse how a player performed in a match.

Hazard didn't have 0 shot on target in yesterday's match like you said up there. How about Hazard shot on target that Varane headed out for corner. Hadn't been that varane didn't head the ball, that would have been a goal.

The French Team sat deep and were defending in most part of the game . If you really watch the match, you will know that Hazard was the one trying to make things happen. His dribbles really opened up space for his teammates to exploit.

Stop asking me Jamb Questions bruv!

Its not a shot on target if it was blocked. Jeeez

How are you making things happen by endless dribbling with no end product? France sitting deep is not an excuse for Hazard to have 10 dribbles yet create just 1 chance the entire game!! I keep telling y'all whatever potential he has he is never going to fulfil if he doesn't evolve and change from this nonsense shaku shaku pattern of always hogging the ball unnecessarily. Its not FUTSAL

airmark:
What football should your useless burnthisleaguedown attackers, that couldn't get past those unknown asian midgets, play? Don't forget to name just one german player with at least 2 goals in Russia.

Lmaooo o dun oo! Bundesliga attackers dominated the last World cup so let others try their luck

Your shaku shaku Hidden Ikedia
10 dribbles
1 chance created
0 shot on target

Meanwhile a small boy like Mbappe.
7 dribbles
6 chances created

This is what we keep telling you and it's why he would never win a major international tournament. Small shaku shaku you guys would get carried away instead of praying he learns to play an effective game

Damilare65:
you love SA house music too? great

I personally think South Africans make the best dance music in Africa,

I have like 3 DJ mixes of SA house music, its kinda funny cos I don't understand a thing they say in their songs, but good music is universal, it has no language

Listen to El Diego, by the same lady Zamar, or her whole album.

or check out their music mix on you tube

I fux heavily with SA House. Them DJ Cleo, MiCasa them them oh not all the Uhuru indomie music that is the fad now

I am a huge fan of SA music in general.

Her album is out? Would certainly get it. El Diego is awesome too but Collide connected with me like mad
