Now tell us what would you have them do..


Its easy to criticise..
what they supposed to do since, they should slash all government workers salaries by 90% and stop the looting.

Government should raise money for her citizens like other countries are doing...

Government should enforce mass testing of the virus.

It's not by locking up people shop and stopping people lively hood that will stop the virus

I've asked same question over and over again and nobody seems to even have half a brain to ponder and understand the implications of the error in a total lockdown in Nigeria.

The population you are trying protecting from Corona virus the wrong way will simply die of starvation.
Nigeria leaders are very heartless and stupid at the same time.

Citizens aren't testing for the sickness yet they expect it to magically disappear

grin Nigerians governors are stupid Sha, why are they forcing people to stay at home? How will the poor people they created survive and feed themselves?

Because they saw European and Western countries on lockdown, they think that is the only thing they are doing, Usa and canada are about sharing money for their citizens.

But Nigerians want to do lockdown that will solve nothing but create hunger in the land

Olympic isnt relevant here

World cup golden ball and Laureus

Ronaldo also won player of the tournament award at FIFA club world cup

What Messi has never won that Ronaldo has

EPL title
EPL best player
EPL golden boot

SerieA best player
SerieA title

Tournament golden boot (UNL) and tournament silver boot (Euro 2016)
why isn't Olympic important? Didn't Ronaldo participated in the tournament?

I taught we are mentioning things they have both participated in so why are you mentioning seria a and EPL? You guys are funny sha

Bro you're getting it wrong, now I am a fan of Christiano Ronaldo, you already know... We are not using that as a benchmark, it's just simple science. If you develop a cure for an ailment, what do you do? You do multiple testing on several strains of the ailment and on different patients to ascertain if truly it works or it's just a fluke. MESSI is good but, I have seen him in a bad team where he is totally useless I.e Argentina team. I have also seen RONALDO in his home team where he Carrie's the whole team on his back just to get them far enough.
Barcelona are a well balanced team... they help each other most good players will look great playing in that team, so my guy let him go out.... holdup he has in his Argentina team, and he has failed. So Ronaldo wins it for me.

If you still insist on your stance without critically observing the opinions I have expressed then your just being sentimental and I can't deal

Just know I will take a Ronaldo over a Messi cos of this.

Ps: this is a stupid argument to engage in especially when the world is facing this current pandemic.
talks and statements like this makes people say Ronaldo fans are the dumbest fan base in football world..

When you tell yourself the same lies over and over again, you'll start believing it,how is Lionel Messi useless in Argentina team?

Been the all time goal scorer ever surpassing maradona, Messi has 70 goals and maradona has less than 40.

Having double the same assits as the second most assists provider.

Having won 4 best player of a tournament, the most a player has ever won in international stage.

14 times Argentina best player compare to maradona 4 times.

Single-handly rescue Argentina in many instances like qualifying them in world cup and Copa America

snitchbitch:
You cant compare both of them because they have their areas of specialisation.

In terms of TV rights broadcast and media publicity, you just have to give it to the premier league, I could remember in one season, a club that went to relegation in the premier league collected money, even for relegation and TV rights more than Sevilla, some Spanish clubs find it difficult to pay their players salaries and their staffs too are owed.

When I am playing ball and you owe me salary, how will I mark messi or ronaldo(before he left) very well. That is why it has been very easy for Barcelona to dominate them for all these years without any club giving them a run for their money. Because they have crippled all the other clubs monetarily, big clubs like Real Madrid and Barcelona only get the big players while the small teams just struggle and struggle to survive.

Also their is a very tough competition in the premier league unlike in LA liga. Last two seasons it was man city, beating everybody, today it is Liverpool that is in charge. That is what makes football to be sweet. If Barcelona is playing against Girona, I don't even need to watch the match, everybody knows who will win. That is very bad for a football competition. And that I s what is killing the game in LA liga. Their coaches, league management and country football management need to address that. I could remember a season where more or even almost all the players in Spanish national team were from Barcelona. Guys like Sergio Ramos had to fight. Because Barcelona is dominating them. When mourinho was coaching Madrid in 2012, what he tried to do(though he later failed and left) was to try and reduce the predation of barca, but he did won the league before he left sha.

Though I like the LA liga for their style of play and their ability if grooming young and home based talented players like cazorla, fabregas, david villa, xavi and iniesta(world class dope ass engines) and a host of super strikers like Fernando Torres, aguero, griezzmann etc. They can still do more. Kudos to athletico Madrid's coach, Diego simeone the guy too is giving barca a run for their money.

The game, speed and intensity in both leagues LA liga and premier league are both different from each other. You can't compare them. Also one thing you guys forget to mention and that is killing premier league players is "media hype", guys like Michael Owen s career was destroyed by the British media. That time he left for real Madrid and his career flopped. The British media like to overhype their players, imagine just an average player being compared to the likes of maradona, Pele, Rinaldo delima, just because he is having a good form, . having a good form I'd different from being consistent. Their is no season when Ronaldo and messi won't score 50 goals or more in all competitions all together. That is consistency. But if a British player comes today and scores a television goal, the British media will say " he is the next balloon d or winner". That is what is killing the premier league. And another thing is they waste money on average players. Before arsene Wenger left arsenal ( though I don't support some of his policies), he always complain about how big clubs like real Madrid and man city are spending too much to buy players. Like Paul pogba that man utd spent 89 million to buy, I am not saying he is not good oo, he is a world class player but that money is too much!!!!

Those are some of the things affecting those leagues. Both of them have their advantages and disadvantages. And you guys too know them!!! But for me in terms of competitions and entertainment. I will still pick the premier league because how will two clubs want to play(like barca and Mallorca) and everybody will be saying barca is the winner even before they play the Match? But in premier league, Leicester city can come form relegation and carry the league, like they did in 2015, that is an element of surprise that is very crucial in football. Nobody knows what will happen. Anything can happen, win, Loose or draw only thing that can happen.

#Godbless!!!!!!
the only good thing I picked from your write-up is that premier league is over hyped by the media, the rest are gibberish.

Barcelona and real Madrid have dominated la Liga because they are the best in Europe and not just in Spain..

How can you said EPL is more competitive even when all EPL teams champions league cup combined is the same with Madrid?...

The reason you love EPL more is because they speak English and you were colonized by British so you stick to their over hyped and low talented players.

Dear Caragher... your just angry and bitter cos Ronaldo came from Man Utd... He is the best was best in England, was Best in Spain will soon be best in Italy. I see you mentioned something about Baresi and Maldini:

“Listen, I don’t think of Franco Baresi and Paolo Maldini being any less of a defender because they never left AC Milan. So that’s not going to change me with Lionel Messi not leaving Barcelona. I mean, why would you leave Barcelona?"

Nobody is saying Messi is not good... he is a great player and a contender for the throne, we are just saying if he wants to be regarded as a true king let him go and conquer new lands, like Ronaldo has done... until then

...Ronaldo is the GOAT
this one different club nonsense to prove yourself was brought by Ronaldo fans seeing they have no argument against Messi greatness.

The only reason Ronaldo left Manchester United was because he said he needs to be in a bigger club and Madrid can improve his career, he never mentioned challenging himself.

The reason he left Madrid was all over the news in 2018, he and Madrid board had problems including taxes and salary increase and not been respected enough that's the reason he left Madrid.

Ronaldo fans are the ones bringing leaving club or international trophy as the benchmark to greatness is funny and also stupid.

Before now players are praised for their loyalty and dedication to club all except Messi.
SportsRe: Messi National Team Performance by Astark: 8:42am On Mar 29, 2020
These Ronaldo fans talk so highly of this friendly cup called the nation's league forgetting Messi has won 3 of those south America equivalent tournament.

Can you name any big sport person from Serena Williams to Usain bolt, all have won Olympic which signifies their dominance.

Ronaldo got eliminated at group stage yet Messi won it, won the golden shoe and also won the best player in that tournament
SportsRe: Messi National Team Performance by Astark: 8:38am On Mar 29, 2020
Messi friendly last year was against Uruguay and Brazil which are one of the greatest teams in the world.

Ronaldo competitive matches was against lithunia, Luxembourg and other countries that plays football as a second work.

Imagine Ronaldo has not won a single player of a tournament during his years at playing, he's certainly the most overrated international player we will ever see.

Let's look at Portugal winning performance

After quarter final, he completely vanished, his team were underperforming so he faked injury.

Eder stepped up and score the winning goal, then Ronaldo and his usual PR machine credited the trophy to him.

Make use of ur brain for once...b4 Ronaldo and Messi ... Assists were never taken seriously... Best player in a team that wins trophies is valued more than MVP ... U Messi fans just keep on forcing baseless awards down everyone's throat ... Ronaldo scores lots lots Goals as well and supplies lots of assists but he adds major championships to it ... Messi has only achieved winning la Liga for the past half a decade ... This same period Ronaldo has confirmed la Liga , multiple CL , seria a, European cup and European nations league... No one even talks about his multiple golden boots in the CL in the past 5 yrs cos the CL he won is a better achievement... Champions League is the holy grail of club football... European cup is the holy grail of European national teams soccer... Copa America is the holy grail of South America national team soccer , world cup is the holy grail of football... Which of these have ur Messi won in his career apart from CL that he won over half a decade ago thx to xavi Nd iniesta ... Cos since those guys left, he hasn't appeared in a CL final
Ronaldo fans are shameless, you were denying major award in football so as to prove Ronaldo is the best.

When a footballer retired, when people remembered him he'll only be remembered for his goals, assits, dribbling, freekick and other football skills.

No matter how many times you Ronaldo fans forced international trophy as the benchmark of a player career, nobody will take it seriously.

It's easy to know a person with a very low IQ...

you arethe one with low iq by using team trophy to judge a player.

if i say giroud or dembele are better than ronaldo because they won a world cup you will stupidly start bringing ronaldo individual performance.
messi has never played in epl and the only way to see how he will do there is too see his performance against their best team, only ronaldo fans are too stupid to understands that.

lets assume messi decides to leave the world biggest clubs and decides to go to small clubs in epl for example man city since they are the only team that can afford him, its only stupid people that think he wont score like 40 league goals
