Attitude matters in life. I won't be surprised if that's the criteria that made Vini fell short.

Imagine trolling someone with something you have not won yet eh. If you con win am, nobody go fit stand up to you then, not even Infantino.

I'm glad Rodri won the award.

When zlatan displays his attitude everyone applauds him but let a black man display his attitude, he gets criticized. We’re supposed to be kowtowing and behave obsequiously in order to be respected. Diarris God o. Broad day light ojoro

Lookman with his Father and youth coach

One thing that I admire about him is his humility, consideration and professionalism to the game. The man always praises his family, coaches, team, prior to himself. He is very media trained and hardworking. CAF awards is Next

TheSuperNerd:
Exactly Zicky. Ballon D'or never had the popularity they enjoyed now until after that merger with FIFA between 2010 and 2015. A mistake truly on FIFA's part. Also the name changed from FIFA World Player of the year after the merger to FIFA Ballon D'OR AND the media infact began shortening it to "the Ballon D'or" even while called FIFA Ballon D'or. France Football and co finally cashed in on it and broke off from FIFA after 5-6 yrs together and began milking the popularity of the name on football fans' lips.

But for long term followers of the beautiful game, we all know FIFA award always held more prestige than the Ballon Dor.

lol you have to be a joker or a real gen Z to make such statements. Ballon D’OR not having the same relevance until 2010? You have to be joking absolutely no way. If you conducted your due diligence you will realize that, fifa were the ones that requested to partner with the BDO and not otherwise. Trust me, I am an historian of the game. All you need to do is ask google which award is more prestigious BDO vs FIFA awards and the conversations will be over. Can someone else ask google the questions let’s end these discussions

TheSuperNerd:
League goals only:

Weah scored 7 in 34 league games in 94/95 for PSG.

Scored 11 in 26 games in 95/96 for Milan.

Osimhen, Eto'o, Drogba, Salah have all surpassed this mediocre statistic yet couldn't bag the FIFA award or Ballon Dor. If both awards were being real then Weah's win was a sham. It was all inclusivity-driven.

And now they will use that as shield to anyone saying they were biased towards Vinicius Jr in 2024.

The politics at the top runs deeper than many eyes can see. There are reasons for some decisions even at the top echelon of football dating far back.

Inclusivity driven a whole George Weah the one that Thierry Henry called one of his Idols Lol. You even want to compare the quality of Seria in the 90’s to present Seria A. Omo na wa oh. I hate when mention mention football and you start discussing statistics instead watching the game. Even if you didn’t watch certain players in their prime just ask your older cousins to brief you about that player. If it’s inclusivity driven why these new African players never inclusivity driven another one?

I don’t like as football discussion turn into personal insults. My apologies for any wrong words used at you, let’s agree to disagree and cease fire. Football discussion shouldn’t descend to these level. Peace on to you brother

TheSuperNerd:
Osimhen won Capocannoniere with goals vs Juventus, Roma, Atalanta, Bologna and more. Luton doesn't play in Italy, retard. 😭

Show me Weah's Top scorer award across all the leagues he played in from France to Italy and to England. It was only in the UCL, he topscored with 8 for PSG. Same UCL title won by Nigerians Finidi and Kanu with Ajax in same season😭😭😭 Show me Weah's UCL as well💀

This trophy is greater than any individual award that any African has ever ever won in the history of the game and it must be surpassed to surpassed the GOAT

Retarded goat no one said that luton played in Seria A. Na so you go use Lie they finish people.

TheSuperNerd:
Lol. Beyond retard level is correct because I transcend it. Thanks goodness you admit it is beyond and not below. So that's the difference. So stay stuck on your retard level of talking football. Noisemaker. Lol

See these Retarded MUMU. At least, you admitted that your Below Retarded when it pertains to football discussions

BankyGee:
Pictures that go hard! 🥶

Icardi x Osimhen 🦁👑
Danger 😈⚡

Nice picture

TheSuperNerd:
Yes ofcos. The standards for you is retard level coz clearly you don't analyse intelligently.

Your own is beyond retard level, yours is at the backwardness, slowness, subnormality and Criminal level. Btw, Go and suck his genital fluids for some funds again like you did in the past

TheSuperNerd:
Lol... making a case for Serie in the 1995?? Really?? Same Serie A where Batistuta bagged 26 goals in 1994/95. Same as Osimhen achieved in 2022/23?? How many did Weah score?

Same Serie A that even had a player score 35 goals in the 50s?? I know you want to come from the angle of Serie A being a tougher league then than now but nope, Goalscorers still made their marks. Even Marco Van Basten and Signori (whom you dont know) destroyed the Serie A in the 90s.

Please show me an African with these two trophies. (Greatest individual trophy for a footballer) If you do, they will be the Goat and I will STFU. If not, just STFU and GTFOH. These Gen z analysts think it’s about scoring 50 goal’s against Luton town

So Seria A of 23 was in the same level as Seria A of the 90’s even though I’m not watering down any player achievement. If you confirm Yes then you have officially admitted that your just a Gen Z analyst and case closed. There must be standards at which I engage with people in football

Goke7:
Exactly even if Lookman scored that hatrick in a champs league final or word cup sef he won’t still enter top 10. All na advert and marketing runs and deals.

Osimehn trajectory after that 23 season was very capable of winning. Also, the level of football isn’t as high as the past that any player that excels can win it. The market is open for anyone to Win and one has to be hungry because it’s a dog eat dog world

TheSuperNerd:
Weah defeating who with how many goals scored?? Have you checked the seasons prior to his award? Osimhen's 2022/23 trumped Weah's 1994/1995 amd even his 95/96. Go and check.

Not even mentioning Eto'o coz he clearly dwarfed Weah's 95.

Comparing Seria A in the 90’s to Seria A in 2023 you have to be a Gen Z absolutely. Anyway, weah didn’t win the BDO because of his Seria A performance (check your history) and osi also excelled during the 23 season. Anyway, make another player run am if it’s easy na. If they like, let them score 2000 goals against luton fc, no one is surpassing weah until we see a BDO in their hands

TheSuperNerd:
You that change accounts like wrapper. You implied those statements with one of your other accts when you walked in here. This BannedLargeJr you wear now is one of your several accts.

I won't bother checking what everyone in here witnessed. You are like Komekn in this regard. The truth is obvious.

Trolled Osimhen with the Ghana game for ages and even knocked on the world class tag we placed on him saying he doesn't perform in the big games including the Ghana game.

Child. No need. You are saving it as usual. Go cry in Boniface's X TL, he may yet hear you and hand you a Jersey. 😂

You accuse someone yet cannot provide any evidence. When the hate doesn’t work, they will results to LIES

TheSuperNerd:
What do I expect from someone who champions Senselessness in here??

How many monikers here checked Osimhen's placing in the FIFA The Best on January 15th and even during the Afcon duration?? Did you? Oya talk.

You keep proving my point. Everyone was so concerned about the BDO that we all forgot to post his FIFA position. Okay, what happened after afcon? We still forgot and had to be reminded yesterday. My boy is prolonging discussion simply because he doesn’t want to take accountability

TheSuperNerd:
You said and implied it so many times. It is well documented here how much you wailed over that Ghana game time after time.

And like your friend, Komekn, you are denying to save face as usual.

You also wants to be seen as the only person who genuinely gives a damn about Osimhen by tagging every other person a yes man.

And no... George Weah is clearly not even the greatest striker ever from Africa. It is Samuel Eto'o fils. You cannot even compare. Weah won it with less achievements and less goals than Eto'o did and less than what Osimhen used to even bag Serie A, Ballon Dor 8th place and FIFA The Best 5th place.

By this same logic of yours, Rodri is automatically Spain's greatest of all time then. Do you affirm it, Mr Loquacious??

Post when I said that osimehn isn’t world class simply because of Ghana game and if you don’t post it, you will be known as a Pathological liar here. As for Etoo and anyone that wants to detrone king weah, they must match or surpass these achievements. If not, they Can Never ever ever ever ever surpass king weah. Do you think it’s child’s play defeating legends like Zidane, maldini, Ruiz costa, del pierro, romerio, ronaldo, stoickov to win the ballon d’or in their prime?

TheSuperNerd:
Yes, FIFA award has always been more prestigious than the Ballon Dor.

And I never forgot about the entirety of the FIFA award. I know who won it. And know when it was held. But what I never checked was Osimhen's placing. It is as simple as ABC. I had an Afcon to follow that already began at the time of the award so I never checked the players' placing plus it wasn't publicised.

In the end, FIFA stays bigger and more prestigious than France Football.

You forgot to check osimehn position on the FIFA award because of Afcon and couldn’t check until yesterday (makes absolutely no sense) instead of admitting that, you provided an incorrect information, you will continue blabbing senseless information. I even posted numerous articles on the discussion (you no read) I have even asked you to conduct an independent research on the topic via google and you refuse. At this point, you just want to be ignorant

TheSuperNerd:
Lol.... you and Intellectual shouldn't be in the same sentence.

You who said Osimhen was the reason we failed to qualify for Qatar 2022.

You who said Osimhen can't be world class because he could not take Nigeria to the World Cup.

You who also said Weah is the greatest African player of all time (someone who never won an Afcon nor played in the WC) because he won the ballon dor and fifa award thus by that same logic Rodri is the greatest European midfielder of this century since he won the ballon dor and Xavi and Iniesta didn't.😂😂😂😂

You should be banned from talking football. BannedLarge indeed. 😭

When their HATE doesn’t work, they will result to LIES. Tufiakwa! Where or when did I say that osimehn isn’t world class because he didn’t qualify us for the World cups?? Lie lie man
And yes GEORGE OPPONG WEAH remains the African Goat until and any African player that wants to surpass him must win the Balon d’or

TheSuperNerd:
Why are you crying victim? I just told you what you are.

Forgiveness corrected your infantile take and you called him Gen Z. I say FIFA is bigger than France Football and that FIFA World Player of the year was always bigger than Ballon Dor and even gave a history walk into Ballon dor merging with FIFA in 2010-2015 to help their award gain relevance and you called me Gen Z.

So you are the typical ignorant Nigerian who insults and can't handle being labelled for what you actually are.

You claimed that FIFA award is more prestigious than the BDO, yet you forgot about the FIFA award and didn’t forget the BDO. (Negodu reasoning) you also claimed that, FIFA didn’t even post the top 10 nominees on their X platform and you think they rate their award. Why does Nigerians find it difficult at accepting accountability? Tomorrow, someone will criticize Tinubu

TheSuperNerd:
His 8th place in Ballon dor is very memorable because it was publicised even on X and held at the end of the 2022/23 season. Unlike FIFA who didn't put the top 10 placing on their handles on X and it was held on January 15th, 2024 with the Afcon already kicked off in January 13.

I am pretty sure the timing of both awards is lost on you because in your little head, both were held same time. Lol

Oh, so FIFA did not even deem it worthy to post on their platform and that’s more prestigious than the BDO. Sometimes, I question people intellectual reasoning because things they say makes no sense. One should learn to admit when they’re WRONG

TheSuperNerd:
Oh keep quiet. You are not an analyst please. You don't qualify at all. You are just an immature football talking noisemaker. That's what you are.

Typical Nigerians instead of countering the point, they will result to personal insults. Anyway, analyst aren’t supposed to be receiving any form of monetary gifts, jersey or payments from any player because it will automatically create an attachment and biased towards that player

TheSuperNerd:
You are a Yes Man. You are an inferior minded yes man. You want those jerseys. I recall you crying when Osimhen gave me his Jersey. You kept running all over the thread crying foul and wondering why he isn't noticing your "advice to make him a better man" 😭😭😭😭

You always want attention which is why you always resort to childish tantrums.

No childish tantrums. As an analyst, it’s clearly a conflict of interest accepting monetary payments, Gifts etc from players because it will automatically create a biased for such players and one will refuse to constructively criticize when due. I’m not in the field of kowtowing or salivating to any player. If you mess up, I will call you out and if you excel, you will be praised. No time to lick any player nyash

TheSuperNerd:
Mister Ignoramus.

Nothing you say will cancel the fact that FIFA is bigger than France Football.

The placing of the FIFA the Best also wasn't publicised during the Afcon and attention was clearly on the Afcon if that is hard for you to get, it is your dense problem.

FIFA World Player of the year has always been bigger for years than the Ballon D'or which is why no one gave a damn whenever ballon d'or gave out its awards because it was restricted unlike the FIFA version.

Ballon d'or recent popularity surge is only because they joined with FIFA for 5-6 yrs between 2010 and 2015, renamed it to the FIFA Ballon D'or and walked away from the partnership after using FIFA's name and prestige to popularise the ballon d'or again after it went global an broke away from its award restrictions.

FIFA >>>> BDO anyday. One is clearly bigger from history.

Nigerians and lack of accountability are 5/6. You just admitted that you forgot osimehn was placed 5th place at the FIFA and remembered his 8th place BDO. (Afcon excuse is invalid) plethora of Nigerians also forgot. I provided you numerous examples of players winning the BDO in the same year as FIFA awards and appreciating the BDO more (George Weah 1995) Since 1995, the BDO has been a more prestigious award than the FIFA award. Even if you want to be stubborn, at least conduct an independent research. Lewandowski was robbed of a BDO and despite winning the FIFA award, analysts were still not satisfied

TheSuperNerd:
Take it to his X Account, Social media adviser. You still won't get a Jersey signed by him, Osimhen or Lookman.

I’m not a yes man nonentity agent clowns that’s kowtowing and salivating over a fellow human being. If you fork up, I will call you out and if you perform, you will be praised. Tu comprehende Amigo

TheSuperNerd:
Shut up ignoramus. I forgot because the Afcon already began during same period the FIFA award was being held and Osimhen was already in CIV for the Afcon. I was aware of his nomination for the FIFA award but the Afcon took my attention. Simple.

Typical Nigerians they never take accountability for anything. Instead of the guy to admit that, he was wrong by providing incorrect information, he will rather continue to insult. You forgot about FIFA player of the year because of Afcon award? And plethora of Nigerians also forgot because of the same afcon. Na (T pain) fit una for that sh!thole

TheSuperNerd:
Boniface has been on this "be professional" line ever since some Nigerians praised Lookman for being professional on social media and avoiding memes, and jokes. Lol

If he like, make he continue clowning and joking around with Clowns that one na his business. Person that’s very talented want to be a comedian. Anyway, Ademola look man is now the face of Nigeria football and if I see these clowns near him on social media, ka nkita lacha otu ha

TheSuperNerd:
You are actually correct. I forgot Osimhen indeed finished 5th in the FIFA version same year he was 8th in the Ballon Dor.

So Osimhen indeed holds both records as the highest ever placed player from Nigeria in both individual awards.

Kanu's was under the version of the award being called FIFA World Player of the year before the rebrand.

Looking forwards to where Lookman places in the FIFA The Best awards. I expect he will get nominated.

Of course, you forgot because the award isn’t as prestigious as the BDO even me sef just found out today. The FIFA award is prestigious but the BDO is more prestigious than it

forgiveness:
FIFA award is more prestigious than BDO.

Explain why people didn’t celebrate osimehn 5th place at fifa award but everyone celebrated his 8th place BDO in Nigeria? Infact, I am just finding that osimehn was awarded the 5th place at the FIFA player of the year

forgiveness:
It holds more. Only Europeans players desire BDO. FIFA world best player award is even better now. Publicity is what made bdo popular and the fact they merged with FIFA in 2016 though separated now.

You must be a Gen Z my Boy. It’s not only Europeans that consider the BDO more prestigious than the FIFA awards, it’s a worldwide thing. For example, Vini will probably win the FIFA awards and people won’t still be excited because he didn’t win the BDO

BankyGee:
Sir if you say FIFA The Best is a rebranded version of FIFA World Player of the Year, Victor Osimhen still broke Kanu's record there, or am I the only one who knows Osimhen finished 5th there? Because for that award na only the winner concern people, they don't care about the top 10 rankings.

Osimhen don break almost all Nigerian records for Europe, if not all 😏. He holds the records as the highest ranked Nigerian player EVER for both The FIFA World Player of the Year and the Ballon d'Or - 5th and 8th respectively.

Thanks for buttressing my point because the fact that people weren’t aware of osimehn placing 5th at the FIFA awards speaks volume in comparison to the BDO. The Gen z wasn’t even aware of his fifa award while everyone was aware of osimehn 8th place at the BDO. When it comes to individual awards, despite the incorrect decisions that’s been occurring lately, the BDO is more prestigious than the FIFA player of the year. In fact, even a gen z born in 2017, will be aware of such information
