I see nothin wrong in what torres said. Its plain to see. Just like he said most premiershp defenders think they have kick u and play dirty.
Pls u all should read d whole report on goal.com before u judge.

His second season would be tougher no doubt.but he'll surely make it easier. His nairaland critics would'nt be saying this if he was a gunner or red devil.
The new season wont start soon,but till then, TORRES's critics CAN EAT A BIG FAT D!CK!

@d Tupac vs Biggie debate.

Biggie was a great rapper when he was alive,even greater few years after his death.
My point is this, the death row/bad boy beef and d manner of his death added to his prestige. If he was still alive today,i doubt if anyone would say biggie was one of d greats.
Tupac died young,but not before making 5 or 6 albums.for tupac's life and works to be studied as a course subject in a university tells u he was'nt only a great guy but a GREATER RAPPER THAN BIGGIE.

@A40,

i dont believe u. You have'nt listened to illmatic. Maybe u just heard one or two tracks.

I am also tired of pple puting READY TO DIE before ILLMATIC. But then it is a matter choice. But i want to react when someone says THE CHRONIC was more lyrically potent than ILLMATIC.


But as for me,i want to buried with a copy of ILLMATIC.

NaS is d rapper. Jigga is d entertainer.
Even jay-z has a lot of respect for NaS. I remember MTV's Greatest MC's of All Time. The rappers themselves(nas,jayz,50 cent ,scarface,ice cube,krs etc) were askd for their own choicies.
As expected,a lot of them including jigga and 50cent chose NaS.
That just tells u NaS is a rapper's rapper. Everyone's favourite rapper is a NAS fan.
Just like it was written in Time Magazine's hiphop edition,'Nas , d rapper's rapper,poetic street corner observer'.


@ A4O,
u obviously havent listened to illmatic. 2 reasonable doubts and one blueprint can never match an illmatic.
For a rap album to defy time and the changes it brings,it means ILLMATIC IS THE GREATEST ALBUM EVER MADE.
Jay-z can be lyrical occassionally. He has style.But Nas will mesmerize and take u to school with his lyrics.

Torres did'nt score yesterday,but he was decisive.only technical minds can see that. Xavi's goal was created and made easy because of torres's movement. The russian defenders were busy running after torres and that made xavi's goal easy. I know a striker's job is to score,but torres has been a very good team player. And he will be rewarded by a breathtaking performance at d finals. As a matter of fact he had just 3 chances on goal,he would have scored d fourth one.

And i'm tired of people saying torres is'nt all that good. 3 goals in 6 matches against d big four of d epl and 32 goals ina all. OR IS ADEBAYOR AS GOOD AS TORRES?

Fabregas once again inspires spain to a convincing victory. In d semi finals of euro cup.
When was d last time spain playd in a final.
Its not only what he did but how he did it. Check out d pass he gave dani guiza to score.
These are d reasons why cesc deserves a mention.


And it will be very 'anti-football' if the germans rape their way to cup like they did against turkey.

Fabregas is a candidate for d PLAYER OF THE TOURNAMENT.

Looks like arshavin's balls are playing hide and seek.
I 'll eat a rat if spain to defeat d germans.

Torres can do it. He never has 2 bad games in a row.thats a fact about El Nino.

Whether ferdinand will fund a soccer academy in nigeria or not.it remains to be seen. Only time will tell.
And pls kanu is'nt jealous.he has touchd more lives.

And to start comparing kanu & rio is wrong.
Just like harry redknapp saip,"england have not produced a player like kanu'

germany were unworthy winners. i hate it when games end like that. i hope they dont win.

some people think by mentioning tourism and the nation's image as postives from rio's invitation,we critics will agree with them. i can tell u with authority that his visit will not inspire any youth in the near future and in the long run.

SAM MILLA:
Forget all those Rubish, Kanu was being Jealous, simple.
Or is it because its Kanu who said it?
Manchester United is coming soon to play in Abuja.
Thousands of you will still use their own money to go and watch the game in abuja.
The hungry kids in the streets are stilll there remember.

kanu jealous of rio ferdinand? u must be very confused. kanu ,like most people here just dosent see the relevance of the attention the lagos state govt gave the street soccer project.

as far as i am concerned, rio ferdinand was'nt the right man. rio ferdinand for a street soccer project? it looks very ridiculous. and what if he grew up in peckham.

the likes of kanu, ronaldinho,ribery,micheal essien and some other similar people would fitted in well. these guys experienced a tough growing-up. because ferdinand started a campaign against violence among youths in peckham now makes him important?

kanu has the authority to say what he said, keeping in mind that KANU NWANKWO IS MORE POPULAR AMONG THE YOUTHS OF AFRICA compared to RIO FERDINAND.

fashola just wasted public funds on personal fantasy. i just hope the next governor is a liverpool fan, so he can bring gerrard to take part in a 'dumb' street soccer project.


the man utd fans will never see anything wrong with what fash' did.many of us no just get integrity.

bringing rio ferdinand to nigeria was a waste of money. fashola, for d good he has been doing messed up. the whole thing looks to be a selfish act.remember he is also a  man united fan. and pls, WHO GIVES A Bleep ABOUT RIO FERDINAND.


2NDLY, the idea of inviting MAN UTD and portsmouth  can also be described as stupid and a waste of money.  can u imagine that those 'buisness men' in tinapa paid up to 400 million naira for man utd to play the super eagels, portsmouth and a nigerian club. now man utd claim they are going to play just a single match.

people, dont u think that amount is just too ridiculous.
hopefully, man utd wont use their key players( ronaldo ,rooney and co). and all nigerians would be dissappointed.

The euros offer higher standards than d world cup becos 'real' football only resides in europe. But they still miss the brazilians and d argies.

Russia fully deserved to win. They showed more hunger and determination. Not forgetting that they had only two days of rest!
Arshavin is really special,he adds a whole lot to that team.i hope he joins milan.

The dutch can still be proud.at least they defeatd italy and france and surprisd many by topping d so called 'group of death'. And they playd against Guus Hiddink who is of course d boss. van Basten needs to learn from him.
Just like sepp blater said 'Guus adds a special and golden touch to every team he handles' ,Hiddink has changed the fortunes of d russian team.
The KNVB should do everythng they can to get hiddink as their next boss. OR BETTER STILL HE CAN SUCCEED RAFA BENITEZ.

Portugal lost to Germany simply because they had no guts!

TRIBUTE TO JOHN ARNE RIISE




He plaed 348 times, netting an impressive total of 31 goals .not forgetting that he scored 10 goals in his 1st season!

@crazylegs,
88 years? I 've started shivering too.
It may be advantageous if spain play a choked midfield. Senna is stronger defensively,Alonso is just d opposite.
I'd choose villa as a lone striker ahead of torres.
A midfield team of:senna,xavi,iniesta,silva and alonso/fabregas.
May GOD help spain.

ITALY vs SPAIN.

The italians are d ones running their mouths ahead of the match. What they have going for them is their character.and thats all.but i still hope spain can go through.
My only worry for spain is their central defence because d fullbacks seem okay.
If i was aragones,i'd be very confusd right now.
Senna or alonso.
4-5-1 or 4-4-2
villa or torress

50 cent,lil'wayne&p.diddy dont even come near lyrical.

Not trying to change d point i made earlier.

But 'good'rappers happen to be very intelligent than other practioners of music.
Rap songs are more poetic,entertaining,informative,enlightening and educative when compared to other genres. And it is funny when u keep in mind that most rappers had little or no formal education.

@chiogo,
it is'nt reasonable for 50 cent and others to remain in d 'hood' after making so much 'legal' money. You have to spend ur wealth and live among d high class.and i believe they do this to spite the elitist population.
Even when biggie said,'call my crib,same numba,same hood,its all good',he was'nt living in bedstuy.

You call this an intelligent conversation?

You are just ignorant. How old are u?

Davidf is just seeking attention.

Chuckdee4 got it.

@tocdee,
u gave a good analysis on barry/alonso.
But why would he want milner when bentley who is a better player is available?
I wish we made a bid for someone like Andrei Arshavin.

Likely,italy will play in d final. I'm now thinking spain may fall against italy. Although spain beat italy in a recent friendly convincingly, the italians look better.
I hope germany knocks out portugal.
And that Benzema boy is class! He should leave lyon now.

@davidf,
the people who try to link violence and other vices solely to rap music should 'nt be ignorant.
And are OUR WHITE CELEBRITIES living by example ?

britney is already mad,she is probably high on something.
Amy winehouse despite a celebrity status looks like a lagos lunatic.
There are many more examples.and truth is white celebrites live more like perverts.

And who do u think is responsible for d real violence.
