Yes Joe Allen a player that has n't played ucl before making the list. Quite impressive.

You need bedrest. Joe Allen has played in the UCL

airmark:
Yes he keeps shaming me with his volleyball spikes. Mention one great defender that ever did this, even in a friendly match?

Story for the gods.

Ol boy you no dey tire? All the energy you dissipated posting those gifs and memes only for Boateng to make various Euro Teams of The Tournament. Talk true how disappointed are you on a scale of 1-10

Ibime:
Raumdeuter, A40

How do you rate Hojberg, say in comparison to Rode

Hojbjerg didn't quite live up to potential though his ceiling is a bit higher than Rode's. Rode is a real hardworker and can also play at RB. Rode is the safer bet but Hojbjerg can really dominate the midfield if he realises his potential

Shey you see your guy Ramires? Wey wan fight UFC

Top 5 PF
Tim Duncan Dirk Nowitzki Karl Malone Kevin Garnett Charles Barkley

Salute to the Big Fundamental. Couldn't stand this guy in the earlier years, rivalries with Kobe's Lakers and Dirk's Mavs ensured that. However as time went on I gained appreciation for his consistency and how he dominated the game with his intelligence rather than athleticism his drama free and much derided bland personality. You can imagine the shock to find out he even had a tattoo.

Shoulda retired after they beat the Heat IMO.

Respect to a model professional and legend. Only one Tim Duncan

Alvaro Arbeloa has 2 UCL, 2 Euros, 1 WC, but his legacy is to be the subject of a football trivia question in the nearest future.

Don't let Boateng fool you - he's not the first non-entity to leach off team achievements with no individual honours to boast of

This narrative is old and stale. The TANK has made FIFPro teams, UEFA shortlists and now EURO Team of the Tournament. Even British websites are acknowledging his abilities. BBC had a poll and he was the highest voted defender. People have seen the light

Trophy e get, Individual accolade e get, argument una no get

airmark:
Thats good for a 28 year old player to win his first individual honour . I hope your own world best dm made it too

Shey you can see your life for outside? see how Boateng keeps putting you to shame. Even a well respected British website had Boa-TANK win the highest number of votes for a defender

Who your Barometer epp? Can you see now that you are just a nuisance who cannot recognize defensive talent?

lolawilliams:
Lool. Now you saying he went to form a team with the top5 NBA draft. Well Timberwolves has wiggins, towns and garnett, they are all top 5 drafts, even if they wanted K.D, he wld never go there. Just forget about King forming a team with the top 5 drafts.

Lmaoo. Lola no kill me with laugh abeg. I'm talking about 3 guys in their peak drafted the same year in the top 5 joining to form a team you dey mention rookie K.A.T and arugbo ojo Kevin Garnett

What LeBron did is akin to Olajuwon and Charles Barkley joining Michael Jordan in 1990 at the Bulls. How many rings do you think that team would have won?

lolawilliams:
My fav team New York Giants have alot of first round pick, yet no ship still

Are you sure its Giants or Jets you are talking about. Because I recall seeing Eli Manning lifting a Lombardi trophy in 08 and 2012

lolawilliams:
And I stand to be corrected, Cincinatti bengals had the 3 of a 5top picks in their team, Bob Johnson was 2nd overall pick, Gregg cook was 5th overall pick, sherman white was 2nd overall.

Nope. Never from the same draft class

Roland17:
How would Green handle the inevitable drop in his numbers offensively? Remember how irritated he becomes when he is not a part of the offense, he usually resorts to using foul language and bantering with Kerr.

Do you think Green can truly handle this high volume offense on the court without him being an integral part?

Why I'm fairly confident this is a marriage that could work is because of the skill set of these guys. Neither Steph, Klay or even Draymond are anything as close to Westbrook when it comes to ball dominance

Plus Draymond the scorer is still very much work in progress. He cannot dominate every night like Durant can. And I'm sure the Warriors knew that before pushing for him. The ball movement, spacing and the drop in iso plays would definitely be a pleasant suprise for K.D

These guys are selfless.

nairamaniac:
clips WD HV been perfect for Durant. but i doubt they have the cap-space to accommodate him. Going there, would have maintained his legacy & reputation.

How would joining Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan (3 All-stars, All NBA Teamers) maintain his legacy? Because the Clippers are yet to live up to their hype and win a ring unlike a GS team no one saw coming. I'm really curious to know your rationale

lolawilliams:
You shldnt even put leBron in this, before leBron left the cavs, he was all the cavs had, that cavs team bck then were not as good as today's thunders team. if leBron had a strong team as this when he was at cavs, he wouldn't have left. when he left the cavs, they lost alot of games the following season and turned into a weak team but okc wld still manage and get into the playoffs evn without k.D.. it shows leBron took his talent elsewhere to get a ring, he cnt gt it with a weak team, but what should we call K.D' s own, is okc a weak team??

Another reason why you shldnt put leBron name into this is that, he went to the heat that last tasted a ship in 2006, he never went to a winning team then. as at that year, he never went to a teak better than the heats, he never went to lakers or celtics or other teams that were dominatin the league.

Im not into any double standard sh't. Im just dissapointed he left okc that went so hard in playoffs, a team that dominated Spurs in playoffs, a team that dominated warriors in playoffs and wld hve qualified if not for refs and westbrook.

Well. it's his life. Im not angry or kad he went to Gsw. i can understand he needs a ring

Which year did OKC make playoffs without K.D?

What is this never went to a winning team argument? K.G, Ray Allen and Paul Pierce joined forces and transformed the Celtics from the worst to the best team in the league. Each player in their 30's. How much more the Heat who were a 45 win team with D. Wade now getting James and Bosh and much younger than the Celtics

@nairamaniac
K.D stooped low but LeBron who joined with 2 of the top 5 picks of his draft in his prime didn't stoop low? You people should fear Jesus nau! I'm still waiting for anyone to show me where it has happened in any American sport (NHL, NFL, MLB, NBA, MLS) that 3 of the top 5 draft picks from 1 year in their respective primes came together to form one team. No Voltron pass this one

Heard Sammer is resigning and Pierre Hojbjerg heading to Southampton

chic2pimp:
Golden Shoe no count? Possibly Golden Ball sef

Individual awards and highest goalscorer don't count just ask Kevin Durant

raumdeuter:
There have been issues from both sides victims and the olopa but think if the police stop you in any of those instance would you have behaved the same way? Trying to show yourself as rude or an outlaw to Law enforcement would only have one side losing probably you

If you show resistance you only make the police who some of them are not normal and some have personal issues of their own and some are genuinely fearing for their life

And lets say the reprisal attacks go on and the police decide to show themselves too, who do you think would lose more?

E.g 1 If Police start running wild and shooting all blacks they see or 2. If Police boycott policing black neighborhoods and leave them to their own device? Who do you think would lose more in either cases

Do you know the Dallas police chief a black man, his own son in 2010 killed a policeman?

I don experience racial profiling hence why matters like this dey dear to my heart. I am not saying blacks don't have their faults but the various methods we have seen these guys get killed shows the little regard these officers have for human life. The speed at which they resort to deadly force whenever a black man is involved in the matter perplexes me. Is it part of their training? We have seen these officers waste armed and unarmed men for the flimsiest of reasons without any repercussion.

Some of these incidents are not just extra judicial killings but straight up executions. How would you shoot someone ten times lai se ewure? Haba even SARS dey shoot Armed robber for leg

The reprisal killings don't do anyone any good but when there is perceived injustice anywhere this is always the result. Charlatans would hijack the process and wreck havoc anyway. Even goat when pushed to the wall would fight back somehow

Ibime:
Every squad needs a player like Joao Mario. A hardworker capable of playing almost every position on the pitch, yet very understated.

I suprise say you no notice Raphael Guerreiro the most consistent member of that backline

Ibime:
Na only £48 I go win. Na wetin I go use shayo next weekend. Not bad for a £2 stake though!

And to think I was pissed when I picked Portugal from the hat!

Very lucky ninja you are. I didn't jump on the train earlier but fueled with hate and bad belle for France $5 turned to $17 for me

Congratulations to our boy Renato. Youngest ever Euro winner

Tough luck Coman

Congratulations to Griezmann for winning the I scored Neuer trophy. Sculptors and Alchemists are still constructing his trophy

RuuDie:
If you didn't see or say this during the Germany game, then you were clearly just trying to troll a40 and ramdeuter... this game is even way more fair. That one was daylight robbery.

Ball don't lie like the Great Rasheed Wallace once said

Myself and Raumdeuter have been vindicated after the home cooking France served at these Euros

We would see Portugal at the Confederation Cup next year

Ibime congratulations in advance. Where my share as e dey hot

raumdeuter:
Yeah I dey kampe. The place of the cops shooting is just a few bloacks from where JFK was shot .

The killing of cops is very sad and despicable. These police are doing a very risky job in America where everyone has a gun, They have to be extra careful so when Police stop you be of your best behavior. Police don stop me a couple of times and our exchanges were very civil one of them actually let me off the hook and was particularly polite

As much as I sympathize with the black guys that were killed but killing police an extremely senseless thing to do. They could have advocated for more education to cops on how to handle minorities and also in schools on how minority kids should respond to police, being all confrontational wit someone that has a gun always end up bad, Anyone who attended Ife and witnessed Aluta would tell you that

WHen you go to black neighborhoods and they start killing themselves, they would pick the phone and call the same Police they were shooting to come save them. Let us try a social experiment and all Police avoid black neighborhoods for 1month and see what the outcome would be

If I am a police officer, I would probably avoid black neighborhood because
1. I dont know which of them has a beef and wants to kill the cops
2. You have to be extra sensitive before your exchanges gets politicized in the media

Those olopa no dey try to be frank. What of the dude they strangled to death for selling cigarrettes, Sandra Bland e.t.c. Two wrongs don't make a right but lets be honest these reprisal attacks no suprise me one bit. The sad thing is innocent cops just like some of the innocent blacks always get caught in the crossfire

coded01:
FOR me, it’s not a penalty. Law 12 — fouls and misconduct — says handball has to be deliberate and intentional and I don’t think Bastian Schweinsteiger handled the ball deliberately.

His head was down and not looking at the ball when he made contact from Patrice Evra’s header. You cannot jump for the ball with your arms down by your side. - The Sun

It was an incredibly soft P.K to give tbh but Schweini should have known better

raumdeuter:
America is big Texas alone is bigger than Nigeria, How do you ensure your security in such a vast country? How many policemen can cover that huge land mass?

Nigeria big pass Texas oh. I for lose 10k some years back na small remain

afrodoc2:
In retrospect I think Low should have gone with Ozil central and 2 wide guys with pace with Muller as the arrowhead I.e Schweinsteiger on the bench. You would have had maybe less possession but more penetration

I was a strong advocate of a guy like Schuerrle starting rather than Can. However the issue was mostly finishing. France's goals were down to individual errors. Incredibly difficult to blame Loew when an experienced midfielder decides to handle the ball on the verge of halftime

chic2pimp:
Different though. Charles Barkley was already on the decline then(Durant is in his pomp). Plus the bulls were the best team not the Rockets. What Durant did is Akin to Sir Charles teaming up with Jordan and Pippen back in 91-92. Or Zeke teaming up with the Celtics back in the mid 80s. Don't blame him though. A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

That different na him I no like to dey hear. Dirk was 33 and past his prime but still stayed with a 38 year old Kidd 34 year old JET to beat Lebron and Wade to a Championship. Barkley has no excuse.

That Rockets team were a year off back to back championships

afrodoc2:
Stories that touch. ntorr

On a serious note though Germany is out because they lack a finisher. This team with tournament Klose or normal tournament Muller would have beaten my French boys

Lloris also made some excellent saves tbvh. Mueller and Euros just don't seem to gel it seems

Very maddening penalty to concede in a game my boys were dominating. At the worst possible time too

The French were due their ominara sha lati 1958.

That Warriors team would run people out of the gym next season. The days of trapping Steph are pretty much up

Eruditor:
Abeg someone should riddle me this. Why is it better for a player to sign for an outfit with less probability of winning a ring, when the money they would have paid him is not more than what he would have earned playing for a team with a far greater probability?

What is all this talk about loyalty and reputation? Why did Magic and Bird stay with one team? Well, for starters, the Cetlics and Lakers of the 80s were the absolute best. Why would anyone want to leave such teams?

How can't people see that OKC had plateaued? They had nowhere else to go. They are not better than SAS or GSW. And chances are they may have regressed the following season. I don't see anything wrong with what KD did just like I never criticised Lebron for leaving.

As for those who think KD going there will make the NBA less competitive, they should tell us what sport they were watching when Bill Russell and his Celtics team were winning 11 titles or When Jordan and his bulls won 6 titles between 91-98.

KD will be judged by his rings. Jordan pretty much said it when he was asked to compare Bron and Kobe. Let Reggie Miller and Ewing use their reputation and loyalty to buy a ring. I don't remember anyone telling us Lebron only has 1 ring. They said he has 3 and that he is even top 5 greatest in Magic's eyes. If KD wins 3 or 4 with GSW, trust me, that's all history will remember.

Gary Payton won a ring with Miami in 06 I think. Who remembers that? That's why going to sneak a ring towards the end of your career is useless. KD should win a ring now that he still matters- and that's what he wants to do. It is fine by me.

Even that rotund buffoon Charles Barkley dey join them to yab Durant. Amnesia no kuku allow am remember say he ran to go and join Hakeem and Drexler to play for a ring in 96

No excuses. Just too many missed chances. Can't explain why Schweinsteiger who was having a monster game till that point went on to pull that stunt. Very soft P.K but you don't put an Italian ref who you just knocked his country out of the tourney in a position to make call

And Loew as always bringing on Goetze when the damage is done

Btw is Mueller having problems with the Missus? His form over the past 3 months have been abysmal

Mizzzbeee:
chai Barnes even dey fall hand for replays.... Notice how all the shots misses were all made by Barnes..

After a nice play was constructed he choked and choked and choked

Walahi na Cavs suppose give am that max deal. They are not winning that ring without him. Cavs and LeBron fans are mad salty and who wouldn't be? Upgrading from Barnes to Durant

Barnes getting a max deal is one of the many injustices in this life. Such a mediocre player

raumdeuter:
Renato entered Benfica academy 8 yrs ago. And the picture you posted was him in the academy

Are they saying that picture is of a 15yr old?

When you are on top Mutha*** just wanna bring you down

As Puffy said on that Biggie song
