You are defending the indefensible Mr or Ms. You play and win and if your team win it the history begins. Chelsea are on second EUFA champions league now leaving behind previous winners like Juventus. Juventus have the history and crashed three times en route to final or in the final of Champions. If Ronaldo wants to be referred to as greatest, he is expected to do the unimaginable. Barca had only one champions league before Messi surfaced and they have 1 now. Do we now say that all the trophies Madrid won, Ronaldo is not instrumental because Madrid have history already in Champions league. Simply put, Ronaldo Contributed nothing to Madrid just like you are making Messi winning looks?

History helps ...barca had one UCL and had played in 2 finals ... with multiple semi finals ... the new barca revolution that made them great between 2005 thru to 2015 was started by Ronaldinho and Frank Rijkaard... Messi had no effect in their 2nd title ...it was Ronaldinho Eto larsson inieats xavi puyol ... these men forced it to happen after 14yrs ... Messi just benefitted as he was there at the right time ... history is the reason why it dint happen for him in psg ....

They couldn't qualify because they lost form and that's what football is all about? They lost form, lose guard and another team took advantage of that.

I agree with u... but thats the difference....in copa , even if u loose form...u will still make it cos those other teams are just too weak... Europe and Africa will punish u dearly for loosing form

European teams are overrated. Let FIFA expand the quota for SA countries. Results go dey shock you

2018 WC..Argentina cudnt beat any European team... including Iceland... Croatia finished them 3.0 ... in 2010 , Germany sent Argentina packing 4.0... in 2014 Brazil chop 7.1 in their own back yard in world cup semis ... 2010 Netherlands sent Brazil home 2.0 ... 2018 Belgium sent Brazil home 2.0... 98 France destroyed Brazil 3.0 in final ... 2002 Argentina cudnt even make it out of the group stage that included Sweden England and Nigeria....

European teams are overrated. Let FIFA expand the quota for SA countries. Results go dey shock you

Fifa is not stupid... if u select only 5 European countries for the world cup...let's say Germany France Spain England and Portugal... and they take 10 teams from copa , ten teams from Africa... and 10teams from Asia and the americas .... Europe will still win it , the difference now will be that players like mbappe kane and Ronaldo will be on over 30 world cup goals , cos they will be loading weak teams ...we will be seeing scores like 10.0 ... England played Panama in 2018 and hit them 6.1 with kane scoring hat trick ... in 2002 klose scored 5 goals against Saudi in a 8.0 victory reason why he has the record as WC top scorer but is no where near in the European Cup... in the champions league league, the big league go with 4 teams , while the small league go with 1 and that one sef must go thru the qualifying route ... imagine if they said only city from England, Madrid from Spain, Bayern from Germany, psg from France and Milan from Italy , then they flood the rest of the teams from Slovakiam league, Scottish league, Russian league, swizz league ... what do u think will happen ... halaand will break Ronaldo's UCL goal scoring record in 5 yrs in record time ... and winners will always come from those top teams

I won't argue with a mumu as your point is totally bland. My point is the south American teams are not winning by chance but cos they are better. Remove Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay,Colombia and Chile can beat any European team on a good day, infact Chile wooped portugal twice 2.0 in a WC. That did not happen by chance but cos they were better.
You are too myopic to o see that simply because your gaze is only on European football.
How can any ignoramus come out and say euros a continental competition is more difficult than WC that the whole world is playing and even the Europe that you mentioned have the most representation in the WC with 16 teams . Are you not contradicting yourself?
Get outta here and go and watch cartoon kid.

U are too dull for my standard... when did portugal play Chile in world cup?? But u decided to turn a blind eye when portugal defeated Uruguay 2.0 in the last world cup ... ok because Chile beat them 2.1 in the confederations cup and Morocco beat them Spain and Portugal...it now means Morocco and chile are better than.... so when Greece defeated Spain, portugal twice , France and Czech to win the Euros , it now means they are better than those teams ... so because Leicester won the league , they are now better than arsenal United City Liverpool spurs and Chelsea.... with ur same logic, Saudi defeated Argentina so it now means Arab countries will easily beat any copa team ... u see how dumb u are ... even a fake native doctor will easily diagnose that u are mentally unstable

Maradona participated in COPA- 1979, 1983, 1987, 1989, lost all.
Pele participated in COPA- 1959, lost. Next edition in 1963, there was division in CONMEBOL, Brazil and Pele didn't participate, the following edition in 1967, COPA was put on hold for a decade because of continential crisis(political crisis in south america). COPA resumed in 1975 after the crisis but Pele had retired in 1971. This is the simplest i could break it down for you, if you still can't comprehend, i can't help your IQ.
Bye.

U are the one that have even rejected an IQ ... u try to act smart , but u end up fooling urself ... Messi lost copa in 07, 09, 11 , 13 , 15 , 16 , 19 b4 he finally won it in 21 ... that's 8 4kin attempts... Maradona attempted 4 times and left it..the 5th and 6th time, Argentina still won it without him , if u can't understand this , then u need critical help in comprehension

OJEEMAH:
The bolded is not entirely true….. it’s not always the case. If England or Netherlands eventually win, they would avoid teams like France, Germany, Spain and Portugal.

In 2016, France was the only World champion Portugal played enroute the finals.

R16 - Croatia
QF - Poland
SF - Wales
Final - France

That's y portugal got lucky ...cos sometimes u need a bit of luck I the draws to advance ... that's y the Euros is harder cos they have the highest ranked teams in one tournament.... when porto won the champions league in 2004 , they were lucky cos united was the only tough team they played in the knockout , they were annihilated by real Madrid in the group stage ...but during the knock out they faced teams on their level like depotivo la coruna and Monaco in the final to lift it cos the major teams somehow were knocked out ... now for England to win the Euros, they must beat the Netherlands and must beat either of portugal, France, Spain or Germany... but first they must scale pass through Switzerland, another tricky tie ... unless we don't wanna be honest... even the Afcon is tougher than copa ... Nigeria, Ghana , Cameroon, Senegal, Egypt, South Africa, Morocco, Algeria ,Tunisia , Ivory Coast are major African forces in football .... Afcon is the only tournament that can be compared to the Euros .. the only difference is that the Euros have better teams .... Nigeria were eliminated I'm R16 by Tunisia in 2021 Afcon... u can't see Argentina or Brazil get eliminated like that ... Nigeria won Afcon in 2013 but cudnt even defend their cup cos they failed to qualify for the 2015 edition .... Italy won the 2020 Euros but cudnt qualify for WC in Qatar....but Brazil and Argentina will always certainly qualify for the world cup ...Always ... and both will always get to the final of the copa or at least 1 of both and u know this ...so why should some people think they are both the same ...they aren't... Scottish league and the English league are not the same

coleon:
You must be high on colos when you made this assertion. Is it the same euros that Georgia and Slovenia are playing?
Bring the best of Europe like Portugal, Ordinary Chile has knocked them out of world cup twice same with Morocco. South Korea has gotten to the semis of WC knocking out Spain in the process,in the last WC Japan topped the group that had Belgium and Spain.
There's no European team that can beat Ordinary Colombia at the moment ,they have done 23 matches unbeaten winning the best of Europe in the ptocess. Italy that was the defending champion of euro could not qualify for the WC , also all the best of Europe are always in the WC because Europe alone has 16 teams in the WC, so what exactly is your point.
Meanwhile , south america has won 10 WC with less than 5 teams qualifying for WC, whereas your almighty Europe has won only 12 out of the 16 teams they always present so what exactly is your point?

U are saying total crap ... so because crystal Palace and wolves beat man city , that now means they are both better than man city ... those days that Bolton used to beat Arsenal now means Bolton were better than Arsenal back then... so because Benin beat Nigeria, I now means that Benin is better than Nigeria in world football... look at the empty head that I was even arguing with ... Georgia beat Portugal, so Georgia is now a better team than Portugal... Iceland knocked out England in 2016 Euros , Iceland is now better than England.... the only 2 teams that can match Portugal in the whole of South America is Brazil and Argentina and I can bet that Portugal will send them both to the cleaners ... when last did Argentina even defeat Germany?? 1986 ...since then , Argentina de collect non stop ... anytime France catch Brazil, na confirm victory for France ... look at how Germany annihilated the so called south American Kings 7.1 for their own backyard ... 5 teams from South America qualified for the world cup in Qatar ...only Brazil and Argentina could make it out of the group stage ... while 8 European teams qualified from the group stage .... and u here typing trash .... copa is total trash .... a competition meant for Brazil and Argentina

I wasn't going to reply again but this would be the last. You seem to fabricate lots of stories from the figment of your imagination and pass it off. I listed different years Maradona participated in Copa editions yet you chose to believe your own delusion. Pele never participated more than once because there was a division in CONMEBOL after the 1959 edition that led to factions, Brazil did not participate with the first team squad, then Pele had to only focus on Santos. Then, in 1967, Copa was put on hold for about a decade because of continental crisis until 1975 when Copa resumed, by then Pele had retired from national team in 1971.

Oh so what have facts ...but u first made it seem like copa was so difficult that Pele and Maradona tried and tried but cudnt win it ... if they both were dedicated to it and there wasn't any issues with the tournament, they both would have won it multiple times ... so don't make it seem like Messi winning it is a major achievement... like he did was Pele and Maradona cudnt do

He assaulted her, that's the issue, not the taking of a second wife.

She assaulted him first by pressing her knee on his neck ...

Neddstark:
Dear Muslim women, it is the right of your husband to have a second wife if he pleases.
If you don't want that to happen, have an agreement with him before marriage. Or better still, marry from another faith.
Don't start crying victim later on.

Social media is creating alot of problems ... she has been listening to the wrong people both online and offline

jeff1993:
You see women..... Men should always be wary of them!!! ..... Apart from ur Mum and sisters, treat any other women in your life including your wife with same caution as u treat a SNAKE!!!

Be ready to take definite sharp action(I dont mean Domestic violence) against them when u feel threatened and when is absolutely necessary. Women fear a ruthless Man cos they know he is unpredictable.

The society is tilting against men in any altercation they have with women so Men need to be sharp.

I read the Jarus story and I felt sorry for him. How will u ask a Muslim man not to take a second wife when u as his wife u are aware of his religion and u know it allows him to marry up to four wives. Would u prefer him to go and have plenty side chicks outside or to bring the woman home and wife her?

He told u of his intentions, yet I decided to make a fuss out of it even after placating g u with gifts and sorts worth almost 50M which he is not even supposed to do coa it's his right as a Muslim man to take a second wife.

Shiooooorrrrr

Jarus is a simp ....that's why his wife did that to him... why spend as much as 50m to please her ... only a weak man will do that ... if this same woman as married to someone like ganduje , Mc oluomo or El rufai in character , she will not even make a sound when talk of a new wife is on ground .... when u are weak towards a troublesome woman , just know that u are done for ...

Both of them participated in the tournament and didn't win it, so what exactly is your argument?. Maradona participated in 1979,1983,1987 and 1989 but didn't win it. He didn't participate in 1991 and 1993. Pele participated in 1959 and got to the final but lost. So, why are you arguing blindly?. Does that mean Copa is tougher to win than WC?

How am I arguing blindly ?? U are even making my points for me ...Pele played in 4 WCs , but only one copa ... he never prioritised it ....Argentina won 91 and 93... but Maradona played 90 and 94 WC ...he also never prioritised it ... as i rightly said...that tournament is total crap ...its like world club cup

PressMyButton:
Are you talking about Italy?. Euro defending champions, four times WC winners?. And why couldn't they qualify for the WC after winning the almighty EURO?, I thought the WC is easier?. You don't argue intelligently at all, you muffle up everything, leaving so many loopholes. I'm done

They cudnt qualify for the WC cos Europe has the hardest qualifiers .... Netherlands cudnts qualify for 2018

You are very stupid to be using white racists as your crutch and calling YOURSELF a “monkey”.

Stupid idiot.

Are you a monkey?

Your mother too?

Senseless fool.

When you get rid of your disgusting racial inferiority complex, then you can talk about other stuff.

For now, you need to go cure your head.

Go to India and Pakistan or Bangladesh, and you will see the worst slums and open drains.

But you will NEVER see them refer to themselves as “monkeys” because of that.

Stupid idiot with no brain.

When white racists call you something, you join them and call yourself the same thing because you are stupid with no sense.

What about the black countries where the gutters are usually covered?

Like Rwanda, Botswana, Kenya, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Senegal, Jamaica, Angola etc?

How do the white racists you worship explain that?

U are a very dumb person

PressMyButton:
Pele and Maradona never won Copa America in their career yet are the top two greatest footballers to have won the World Cup. Would it then mean that the Copa is harder than the WC?. A kid like Mbappe dropping bullshit in your head and you swallowing it, where is common sense?. A WC where all champions around the world compete against each other will always be the toughest. Mbappe hasn't won the Champions league, maybe the Champions league too is harder than the WC, Lol.

Maradona dint win it cos he dint feature in the 93 edition which Argentina still won without him due to his ban ... Pele only played in one copa when he was 19yrs , he was even top scorer with 8 goals and was best player in that tournament, but dint win it cos Brazil lost to who else if not Argentina.... as I said its almost always Argentina or Brazil... infact its so bad that its either both of them in the final or one of them... tournament that they don't even play qualifiers ...they even beg other nations to join them so they can be complete... Maradona and Pele never prioritised the copa cos they know its sh1t...

PressMyButton:
How old are you?, it is called World Cup, not Europe vs South America or Asia. Morroco beat Portugal, doesn't mean Africa is better than Europe. Argentina, Copa champion beat Italy, Euro champion at the Finnalisma. That's what the guy was talking about.

U are saying total trash... so because Argentina defeated an Italian side that could not even qualify for the WC , now means copa is better than Euros ...
And we all know that the world cup is Europe vs South America, the rest only allowed due tk inclusion... no team outside Europe or south America have ever played in the final... infact only USA ( in the second edition 1934) South Korea in 2002 as hosts and Morocco in the last world cup( maybe due to the Arab factor) are the only 3 countries apart from south America and Europe that have ever played in the semis of a WC... infact only Brazil Argentina and Uruguay that isn't Europe have played in the final of a world cup...

you go explain taya....
show us the world cup or rest...

Agreed, he has Euro experience than Messi because Messi never played in Euro. Does he also has more experience than Ronaldo who plays in both Euro and World cup?. Does Ronaldo put Euro above a WC?, only a clown rates Mbappe's opinion above Ronaldo's biggest ambition just to hold at a straw, clown.

It is Ronaldos biggest ambition cos he hasn't won it and its the biggest cup ... but that still doesn't negate the fact that its harder to win it than the world cup .... Zidane won the world cup b4 the Euros , Buffon , Maldini cannavaro , Totti , Del piero all won the world cup but cudnt win the Euros .... joachim low tried to win the Euros in all four attempts, but still cudnt win it but won the world cup in his 2nd attempt...only featured in 3 world cups

Lezzlie:
what are the positions or heritage of Switzerland, Greece, Slovakia, Slovenia in world football?

These teams u mentions are grade C teams in Europe ...but are better than most teams in other continents .... teams like Switzerland will have a very much higher chance of winning the copa multiple times than even appearing in a Euro final

PressMyButton:
And finally, Spain achieved, won the WC and Euro. Euro has the largest number of big teams in the world and so, the big boys would share the trophy among themselves. The big boys would always win the big tournaments, and the big teams would still win Euro 2024, Copa America and WC. A small boy like Mbappe should not be dropping funny ideas in your heads because he hasn't won the Euro. Ask Ronaldo the same question, he'd give up all his trophies to win a world cup. Stop capping.

Mbappe has more experience when talking about this than Messi... cos he has experienced both ...Messi hasn't.. and stats back mbappe ... 5 of Mbappes goals in the world cup came against Argentina alone....in 2 games.... Scolari won the copa with Brazil, won the world cup with Brazil but cudnt win the Euros with Portugal, still took Portugal to the semis in 2006 but fumbled in the quarters in 2008 Euros ...

Abdulmumin412:
After all these, the winner of copa will still beat the winner of Euro.

Dream on... if it is always like that ... it wudnt have taken a copa team 20yrs to win the world cup again ... infact , no copa team have never beaten a European team convincingly in a final in many years ... its always thru penalties or one goal .... Germany annihilated Argentina 4.0 in 2010 , Germany annihilated Brazil 7.1 in their backyard... since the start of the WC ... only Brazil have ever won the WC in Europe ...and that was in 54 ... Europe have won the world cup multiple times in South American soil... if Eurooe was easy, why havnt Brazil ever played Argentina in the final of the WC ... unlike European teams that do it as a norm

Oga make una dey shut up abeg. It's called familiarity sometimes. You can see clubs like Man City or Arsenal trashing big teams in ucl but struggle to beat an average teams in epl. Does that show that epl is tougher than ucl?

U know nothing about football...I don't argue with people that have no knowledge

Peacecore:
Let that history give Man U epl, make Italy qualify for WC or advance far, n give ucl to Barca.

History was the reason why Italy won the last Euros against all odds ... man united have a chance at winning the EPL than spurs , Barca has the chance at winning the UCL than PSG ... history is the reason Arsenal has aggressively challenged for the EPL in the past 2 seasons despite the disappointments of many years of finishing below top 3 ... Liverpool still won the champions league ahead of Chelsea during Mourinho days and recently ahead of city during guardiola era ... its still history playing its role ...

You can be assured that Argentina, Uregual, Brazil can dominate that tournament 8f to say they play it no cap

Lol...dominate which tournament?? If not for the 6 penalties that was awarded to Argentina in 6 out of 7 games ...they would not have had the chance of lifting the WC ... Brazil was knocked out by Croatia, and Belgium in the last 2 WCs ...these are European nations that have never won anything .. forget Uruguay, they can't even defeat any of Spain, Holland, Croatia, Switzerland...talkless of teams like Germany or France.... Argentina will not even get past the quarters at best ... do u think its easy playing at least 4 former recent world cup champions b4 lifting the trophy... in copa , once Brazil is eliminated, then we all know its Argentina cup to loose , vice versa ...

In the last WC ...Argentina only faced 1 former WC champion and one former European Cup champion and those were the 2 teams that forced a penalty shootout despite Argentina leading by 2 goals in both games ... just imagine if Argentina had to play Belgium in R16, and then England in Quaters , and Spain in the semis and Germany for the final... they will not survive it ... that's why the Euros is harder... for Portugal to win the Euros as it is now , they must beat France, Spain or Germany and then England or the Dutch ... all former World champions apart from the Dutch , who are 3 time world cup finalists ...

Instead of them to reduce the number of states in the country to 18...they are even trying to add more ... so that senators and house of rep members will increase and lore house of assembly, more governors, more SA to governors more government officials and more wastage of funds that we don't have ... these politicians should b stoned
