Understandable, but I think spurs should trade him to the place were they can get the best offer which is L.A.

Get all those picks that you can get and young players from LA and move on.

The top power in the West is GSW and Houston and I don’t think that is changing anytime soon.

Will Lebron come to LA to play with kawhi? Yes sure. Will he come if LA can’t put any talent around him and Kawhi? It remains to be seen.

Are we sure Kawhi can even stay healthy?
I they watch sha.

I get the Spurs and their last act of defiance but they would do well to learn from the IT situation. I'm surprised the young core of Ball, Ingram and Kuzma just for Kawhi does not intrigue them.

You can tell which of them has won a world cup before or even played a world cup semi final to know what it takes to play one.

Boateng will lecture them about what it takes to play and win a world cup. Germany is still alive courtesy of many crucial blocks and tackles by Boateng unfortunately one of them got him a red card but his team survives

till today at the world cup, Germany hasnt conceded a goal due to Boateng unlike Hummels

Just saw that this was Boa's first red for Germany since 2009! Barring that needless tackle for the red Boateng was very good

Ibime:
Werner is looking like Morata when I first saw him playing for Spain. Plenty activity, plenty link play, no ruthlessness.

Can't be mad at Werner he's the reason Germany got back in the game. The team is not creating enough chances for him in transition which is where he really flourishes. He would do better against an equally matched team that won't sit as deep as the Swedes

Sommyroy10:
I dont even compare the two again, Domestically messi has tge upperhand and internationally Ronaldo has it here (afterall he is the greatest european goalscorer of alltime) Both are marked differently. None is above criticism.

Now 2014 WC, truthfully, who was the best player at that tournament?

Mueller, Hames, Kroos

Everyone knows that Golden Ball handed to Messi was a fraudulent one

Spurs don't wanna trade Kawhi to any team out West especially LA

You gotta wonder where Kawhi would end up and how much that team would be willing to give up for a rental

This high line is not tenable. Please! The Koreans are not out yet and won't just fall down and die.

Draxler should announce his international retirement after this tournament. Had no business making that team

Kroos redeemed himself but still he dropped so many careless passes and didn't create enough quality opportunities from open play

I want to criticize Werner but I can't because he played a role in both goals. He is supposed to be the #9 but is having to move about and turn creator because guys like Kroos are not doing enough.

Boateng. Started well covering Rudiger's mess but then I no know the anjoonu wey enter am later on

Mueller's days as a starter for Bayern and Germany are surely numbered if he keeps dropping rubbish performances like these.

Neuer. The nerve, the audacity of these heathens to compare De Gea to you

This Sweden wey una dey yab so abeg remind me which country is not at the World Cup because of them?

afrodoc2:
What Sweden did is exactly what Nigeria should not do against Argentina.

That's the scary part. Argentina have nothing to lose and we might set out to play for a draw which would be a fatal mistake

Rahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Deutschland!!!

Uggggh this team is doomed

Brandt and Draxler. These are the guys this frapash merchant took ahead of Sane

Uggghh Mueller. This is just unacceptable from a professional footballer

No Modric to bail out Kroos today

Boateng with another block. Jesus Christ

Just pree that phool Rudiger. Under no pressure whatsoever! If not for Boateng there

Why is Reus central instead of Mueller?

I'm just happy Khedira and Oezil aren't in the lineup! Not a fan of Draxler starting either but I guess we can't always have what we want

birdman:
I love it when dads are very proactive in a sons future. But Im feelibg some type of way about Lavar Ball. If Liangelo stayed in college, he probably gets drafted another year. I feel like his pops just ruined his career for selfish reasons

To be honest, shoplifting didnt help his case

Lol the man is obnoxious, those boys better get a new agent before he ruins their careers! They are not talented enough for teams to overlook their drama

Swissh:
.Supporting another country in a sporting event is not
unpatriotic. It is the Nigerian national team not the Armed forces. The
Nigerian coach is German, Germany are also in this world cup, if Nigeria face
Ger,Rohr will do everything to ensure Nigeria wins.

I never said it was, everybody has the right to support who they want tbh. Nigeria has almost 200mln people last I checked so it's not like anyone's nonsupport would be particularly missed.

I read of a Japanese national who supports Nigeria ahead of Japan.

Me I just hate the Argentine National team right from time and it has zilch to do with Messi

slimghost:
Honestly, it's a matter of opinion or perspective. I have come across Liverpool fans who rate Owen ahead of Gerrard and it's quite understandable. Gerrard never achieved what Owen did as a Liverpool player.

Lol they are not serious to compare Owen's contributions to Gerrard's. That Balon D"or Owen won was a scam

Make we dey observe. If he misses the next game then that can either mean the injury was serious or he got the axe. Fortunately with Sule and Rudiger there is more than adequate cover

Nihilstjnr:
Conte used the clown and still won 2 trophies.

mehn I have to hail Conte for that

Omo he deserves some accolades, I saw Ikedia and I never thought he could be topped! I've never seen a #7 who cannot ping one decent cross! Lost count of how many attacks broke down at his feet

Is this the Moses you guys have been coping with at Chelsea week in week out? Jesus Christ!!!

Lana1:
Lifeline for Messi and Argentina tho.

But if they keep their heads down then there's no way Argentina can win...

I don't know if I would ever forgive these boys if they let Argentina through. Messi bants aside there are three teams I can never ever support: Italy, Cameroon and Argentina

What bothers me is Argentina are the more desperate team and judging by the stewpid mistake Ebuehi made today we can be vulnerable

And can Rohr gather the balls to bench Moses? This was the worst display I've ever seen in my life from a Nigerian #7

Lewwl

Lol that won't be necessary. Seems Hummels has picked up a neck injury and is out anyway

Nihilstjnr:
I don't know if you can blame the coach for the following though:

1. One Clown took a penalty against a movie director and missed. Imagine make dem call you today and give you ball, and tell you to score past Fred Amata , tell me you no go tear net?

2. Caballero

Why are you so wicked bruv?

Seriously though Aguero dey the squad. With Missi's recent PK record one would have thought the coach would have the balls to let Kun take that PK but the entire team cos they wanted to taka with Goatnaldo could not present an alternative PK taker to Messi.

If Matthaus a far more reliable kicker could step aside and let Brehme take a PK in a World Cup final then I see no reason why Leo couldn't do the same

If Nigeria let this Argentina off the hook I'm switching Nationally to Cameroon

Awesome01:
You have a very good point there, instead of blaming his defeat on tactics he used and formation, he is blaming every other person excluding Messi. His statement shows that his whole world cup plans are solely built on Messi.

I saw somewhere that Messi had covered less ground than some goalkeepers in this tournament. He's a clueless coach!

Guys like Jacquet had the balls to offload Papin, Cantona and Ginola going to a world cup yet this coach is tailoring his gameplan to one player, one player who is clearly not willing the carry the load

usbcable:
Huffing and puffing on the touchline as if hr wants to fight wrestling

Loool you can see the difference between a sensible coach and a senseless coach

"Argentina is our easiest game,” Croatia coach Zlatko Dalić

"the reality of the Argentina squad clouds Messi's brilliance" Sampaoli

When tactics no dey your brain you would be reduced to relentless player ball-licking. Shame on Nigeria if they lose to this disorganized team because I don't know how this is going to motivate the rest of the squad

#1 draft pick DeAndre Ayton. Looks like a solid pick though his defense is suspect based on what I've seen

Interesting too that the Mavs essentially traded Young for Doncic. I'm very particular about how Doncic fares especially as a European with no NCAA experience. He has the size and passing to be really good at his position, hopefully he can chase that dud Harrison Barnes away

Also want to see how Bamba performs. Dude has the wingspan of a velociraptor and looks like a defensive beast

chic2pimp:
Argentines on Twitter asking if that was Sampoli or Andre Agassi on the touchline

Loool as he gather tattoo like VATO, time he should be spending honing tactics he was probably in a tattoo parlor

raumdeuter:
I have been watching that Rebic and he is quite fast too

Among the top 3 fastest at this WC

birdman:
Kevin mchale at a trump rally. Thank Gos this dude is not coaching rockets anymore. Smh

Was probably dragged there by his wife who I heard is an insufferable Trump fan
