That meobizy guy is retar.ded and has low self-esteem issues.

Always looking for the slightest excuse to call people poor.

He must have been a broke/jobless guy for a long time who came into some change.

Poverty really dealt with with him, so he thinks everyone is broke or people close to him are jealous of him.

Trust me, he is still poor...no rich dude calls someone poor, they don't just have that time... Only poor people say that cos it makes them feel good about themselves

�, CR7 the Real GOAT

The pic would have been nicer with the inscription " Messi crashes out of the Copa America"

CalabarPikin:
What a horrible night for the GOAT...


....he can't do it alone sha.....

Abeg close mouth... Do what alone... What was his contribution in this tournament Only one penalty

chiboy1116:
Believe it or not , this is the best Argentina have played in a while , Survived an initial onslaught and took the fight to Brazil; could’ve had a few goals. Nothing to be down or ashamed about, in fact, I see quite a few positives they can take away.

Now hopefully the Federation resolves their issues and appoints a good coach – and most importantly – sticks with him for a couple years. And I really think this new set of players can win the next Copa America, do well in Qualifiers, and make a fight of it at the next WC too.

Really hope Messi doesn’t retire either, both he and the team looked the best they have in quite a while.

Dream on

meobizy:
It won’t surprise me.

Nairalanders are really poor men’s children, obviously from rural areas.
See how many of them are awake by 04:30am.
I’m sure they woke up by 04:00am so they can head to the farm before sunrise.
It’s no wonder they always come in contact with snakes and other wild animals.

That's y they say people like u are so shallow that u find it hard to task ur brain.. Do u know that it's not everyone on NL that's in Nigeria... So waking up early means the person is poor,or from a poor home?? Omg

At least the coza pastor will take a breather...
The Mallam looks like Tafawa Balewa

I doubt if the super eagles will b able to beat this USA or English female team

majamajic:
this show is in Nigeria , that's why I bet Na , this edition is in Nigeria , if Na south I can't bet Na

I know it's Nigeria...but it's owned by south Africa

majamajic:
Nations cup of 2000 in Lagos was strictly on Gen , yet they took the light during one of the matches, I know it's on Gen , but watch out , they might try so hard to cover it, but trust one of the contestant will let it out and they will discuss it , if it happens they will immediately change to advert to cover up , but I can't loose this bet

We dint have inverters those days... But the type of Inverters we have now will deal with the issue... It's south Africa and not Nigeria that compromise easily

majamajic:
this edition is for stars ,

no wonder they took time.

I bet 5k with a friend that NEPA will take light inside big brother house before they finish, I hope I win the money

U will loose ur bet cos it's strictly Gen and inverter, so u wudnt know when they will switch to another Gen...


On the topic... Only foolish ones will waste their money voting

But we haven't been knocked out and it's not certain that we will play Ghana...so y say they were both knocked out by Ghana??

Since it's a new team , I will rather take the one that has excelled in the 5 different teams he has played for than the one that has only done so well for one club... It's high risk...

Nairaland should also enter dark mode to save our batteries...this site has been the same unchanged for years now

I don't understand this big brother thing... Another form to shoot to fame... Yahoo boys will hijack it soon

Benekruku:
Please dont do that to me.

I truly mean every word I say when I look into your eyes.
Their never will be a picture when I try to imagine my world without you.
I do know we have differences, but thats just the major reason that makes us interesting couples.

I know conflicts are unavoidable, but we will take every each of them as stepping stones to become stronger.
I so much long to see you are the kids on the dinning table having breakfast while I dash down from my room to join you.

I want to see you go places and with joy, I sink my lips into your lips.

I mean every word I put through to you today and its inscribed in my heart. Heavens bare me witness!

Hmmmm nice

Bahddo:
why are you arguing like someone who knows nothing about football? Ballon d'Or is an award by a french magazine for a period spanning a year. Not only is it a glorified award for champion's league these days, it does not even tell who the better person in international colors is.

Facts remain that you guys have been pushing anti-Messi propaganda. It is actually Ronaldo who has been subpar in international colors. He has never been recognized as the best player in any international tournament, despite taking all the glory afterward for any success.

If you are the best in an international tournament you win the Golden ball. If your team is the best, they win the trophy. Portugal won two trophies because Eder and Guedes scored in the final when the team needed a win.

Messi is usually brilliant in an Argentina jersey. His numerous personal accolades in international football speak for him, but you trolls want to judge the individual based on a collective award and write off the awards that really tell who the better player is.

Just because u Messi delusional fans have started accepting the fact that possibility of him ever winning an international trophy is almost certain... U delusional fans have decided to use golden ball...since Olympics and junior world cup ain't working no more ... U guys are so desperate that u guys are drowning so deep .. looking for any to give him .. so now in ur delusional mind, golden ball is bigger than balon d'Or ... What ever makes u having... Messi fans forever living in denial

Well.... We also do that to men

Y do they like bringing those that are outside the country...it's so wrong

Bahddo:
what!!! Are you serious? In Copa America 2016 he scored 5 goals and made 4 assists to help his team reach the final. He also had the most MOTM performances as usual.

If you are talking awards (team and individual), U20 world cup trophy, FIFA Olympic Gold, helped his team reach 4 major international finals. Has been awarded player of the tournament (Golden Ball) at least once in all the tournaments he has ever featured in (including the World Cup).

No one remembers loosers , only winners... Reaching the final is bullsh.it... winning it is the Koko... Hu cares about loosing finalists ??

Bahddo:
oga they are both important.

The trophy is a team achievement and is an award for being the 'best' team. The golden ball is an award for being the best player. It's that individual award that is testament to the fact that a player did better than anyone else in the tournament.

A player like Pedro has won every major trophy you can think of, yet no one places him on the same pedestal as Messi or Ronaldo that have not won the world cup with their teams. That's because when it ultimately comes to deciding who is a better player, team awards aren't nearly as important as individual awards.

Ronaldo has never been rated the best player in any international tournament he has featured in, and he has played in about 9 of them (4 world cups, 4 Euros, 1 confederations cup). That's minus the friendly Euro Nations Cup.

If trophies are all that matter, Pedro is a greater player than Cristiano.

I still don't agree with you cos the balon d'Or supercedes it ...

eni4real:
He had a lot of chance creation. Not just assist. Just like I said he dropped deep most of the tournament... His goals against Iran was borne out of necessity.
He only had a goal spree against Nigeria. Lolz I don't remember how he scored against Bosnia sef...

Watch Argentina vs Switzerland, Belgium and Holland again on YouTube!!! He didn't score but he had great games.. It was only against Holland that he didn't win the MOTM here!!!

I agreed that he was average in the final but Mr Higuain did not help the confidence of the team too!!!

Then y mock Ronaldo at the Euros?? Watch the games against all the teams he played... He imposed himself on every game... Only failed to record an assist or goal in 3games... Then got injured in the final

Blabbermouth:
Nani scored 3 also with 1 assist and was present in the finale.
Eder scored the legendary goal.
Why then didn't he win the golden ball

So what's with Nani was present at the final... Was Ronaldo not present... Abi is injury not part of football again... Or u expected him to play with a broken leg?? I don't get u?? It's like saying Salah wasn't present in the CL final against real Madrid...

Blabbermouth:
Nani scored 3 also with 1 assist and was present in the finale.
Eder scored the legendary goal.
Why then didn't he win the golden ball

That's cos it was given to greizman... Ronaldo came second

Blabbermouth:
Ahem... Now what if??
what if messi wins this Copa?? DAT means??
DAT means Ronaldo has no single hold of greatness over messi.
DO YOU COMPREHEND?
just wait 4 DAT Brazil match for ur shocker

Till then

eni4real:
And Messi should thank Higuain for those great misses... A striker like Higuain (Chelsea are enjoying him now )

True but they ruled those World cups( Matterazi prevented Zizou in 06 and Seizure prevented Ronaldo9 in 98, Ronaldo won Silver ball and golden boot in 2002 tho)

May be my examples are not perfect. Suitable examples are Romario in 94, Maradona in 86, Rossi in 82, Kempes in 78, Pele, Garrincha, Didi, Charlton etc...

Then y mention Messi?? He is in the category of I lost the WC but won golden ball...which makes no sense..he dint even score a goal all thru the knock out.. had just one assist and they dashed him golden ball

Blabbermouth:
U just don't get.
He didn't spear head those Portugal trophies like other greats did when they win a trophy for their national team.

So who spare headed the Euros?? Hu was Portugal's best player in euro 16... Portugal scored 9 goals in total... Ronaldo scored 3 and also had 3assists... He was involved in 6 of their 9 goals... So what are u saying??

Blabbermouth:
When messi was leading 4-1 did u consider this??

Yes ... We all did...we believed that Ronaldo will overtake him.... No one ever cared or talked about golden ball...till u Messi fans started looking for some international award to hold on to since he has failed to win one...

Blabbermouth:
Depends on the player. Stop shiting this awards because Ronaldo is behind messi (considering them) . Its making u sound dumb

While Ronaldo is ahead of Messi when it comes to national trophies... Anyone will take the thophy ahead of any nonsense ball... Balon d'Or is the Koko

eni4real:
Ronaldo is a greater entertainer than Messi. Messi don't entertain that much. He is focused on goals, assists and chance creation...

Messi is uncharacteristic in Argentina because his roles are different.. .

No talented Midfielder in Argentina. No one to fill Riquelme boot. Messi usually dropoed deep.

In 2016, he had Banega and Biglia bit these guys get overwhelmed against a more talented/creative Midfield opponents.. Messi drop deep most of the time for Argentina
At least since 2010 (Maradona coaching era.)

If Ronaldo did the same for Portugal, the he would have won that tournament golden ball.
Sincerely, Ronaldo struggled to play that tournament. He was not fit. But he managed and did well against Hungary, Wales and tried against Iceland
But the Midfielf trio of Mourinho, Sanchez and Williams did a lot of cool job in all games especially those extra time games...

And then Patricio, Pepe, Fonte etc did well in defence...

I don't know if Coach Santos is being lucky, but with all the games he played without Ronaldo I must say that Fernando Santos is the best Coach Portugal has ever had. Forget Carlos Querois or Felipe Scolari!!!


So many positive things played out for Ronaldo in Portugal, not just only CR7 ...

CR7 vs Messi cannot be based on Euro 2016 and UNL 2019 because Cristiano did not rule these tournaments like R9, Zizou etc usually do when their countries win trophies. They are usually the king( Golden ball winners) of those tournaments...

Ronaldo should thank the group and Eder!!!

Just as Messi should thank Martinez that he is still in Brazil... Zizou or Ronaldo never won the golden ball as winners

Blabbermouth:
How did Ronaldo's game change.
U didn't get the memo that messi has more trophy than Ronaldo??
How ronaldo con take guarantee trophy??

Winning trophies in one league is trash... Barcelona is the best team in Spain and they have no rivals... He will always win it like juve.. or Bayern... It's not easy doing it in different leagues... Look at how Messi has been struggling in Argentina over the years... Ronaldo has done it for Portugal twice.... That's what they call tested and trusted

eni4real:
If Cristiano played well, he would win it.

He is a Superstar!!! He was not just up there in those tournaments... He couldn't win Bronze ball sef...

He won Silver boot in Euro 2016 tho due to more assists compared to Nani!!! (CR7: 3 goals, 3 assists Nani: 3goals, 1 assist)

Griezmann: 6 goals but unlucky to play against Eder

The truth is that no one will care about those Holden balls in the future... Balon d'Or supercedes all those nonsense... No one cares about winning European golden boot... If u are asked who won the golden ball in 1990 , u will have to search Google for answers, but if they ask u who won balon d'Or in 1990, u will easily mention it... If u are asked who won the European golden boot in 1997, u will go back to Google, but if u are asked who won the CL in 97 , u will easily mention it... Priority first
