I've watched Maja the guy is a natural goal poacher he instinctively knows the position of the goal from any angle

He will have a wonderful career ahead of him
If he keeps his head down, sure

Umar Sadiq with another Assist. Partizan leads 1-0 vs FK Napredak in the Serbian league.

That is 10 goals and 5 assists for Sadiq now.

Nigeria police abi?

You try wella

I no sure weda you grow up for naija

Dey there dey claim good citizen

Nigeria police is the most useless force in the world
Yes, I will claim good citizen and that's none of your business sir

There are a few good eggs in the force. I know of a few of them.

If he decides to take it up, he won't be wrong. Such men have to be discouraged from doing it I'm the future.

If everybody thinks like you, then the few SARS men that have been caught so fat and made to face the law wouldn't be in chains now. They'd be walking the street freely.

Let's all do our little parts as citizens.

No no no no no!

Football stardom is all about destiny. Do you know that Christiano RONALDO still relate to his childhood friend-Albert? Such that Cristiano once admits that he owes his lucky break to one of his closest friends,Albert Fantrau. “I have to thank my friend Albert for my success. We played together for a youth club" .

I believe you wouldn't be wondering why NIGERIA or it Players hasn't been so dominant in world Football despite being undisputed at the U 17 level since they have not been lacking in fitness and Tacticality drills from their coaches all along their footballing career

Modified

Left for me, I would even say Neymar is overrated as a football player frankly speaking.

He is not a fit footballer for he is injury prone.

His Natural talent is the only thing that has worked well for him so far in lieu of his predicament

Precisely. You get this more in Fifa when you set the defending on legendary and you are up against a player who is good at zone press defending. Dribbling or holding the ball is next to impossible.

The only way out is to master quick passing and thinking. Making decisions with the ball and before the ball gets to your players.

Then the game becomes fun.

It is a replica of the scenario the current players face. Which make their skills less appreciated.

In the clip below. Watch Mahrez stature how there is virtually no fat on his body. Just plain muscles. Then he runs a marathon on the field and great first touch. He is also very skillful too.

i wonder why people keep on worshiping messi when pele and el diego almost single handedly won world cups for their nation. no matter what messi achieves in barca and european football the argentines will never rate him as the greatest but diego armando maradona. diego is god in argentine football

i will recommend you to try and watch argentina's route to glory in mexico 86 to see the wonder of el diego
I agree with you

Diego maradona won what the country valued; a world cup.

In terms of that, only Ronaldo comes close for his Euro Nations league and Euro 2016 win

That's why I rate Ronaldo above messi.

For his wins and the fact that he dominated the leagues he went to. Its that simple.

Let Messi come to England or Italy and dominate the league and maybe, I'll rate him above Rinaldo

Please, messi fan boys, don't come at me with insults ooo. I don't have power abeg

You even get power to follow them argue

As if any of them even watched Pelé and maradona
Based on your argument, you therefore have no moral standing to castigate those that support the oldies because you too never watched them play so, you can't assess if guys like theSupernerd or mujtahida are wrong or right.

Its their opinion

Mujtahida:
Like Truidstar said old football had a lot of rugby tackles which the players of today are protected from. Football is almost becoming a no contact sports.

Read about Andoni Goikoetxea Olaskoaga popularly known as the 'butcher of bilbao'

On 24 September 1983, Goikoetxea achieved notoriety for a foul on Diego Maradona described as "one of the most brutal fouls ever delivered in the history of Spanish football"[4] in a league match at the Camp Nou, taking out the Argentine from behind and breaking his ankle.[4] Maradona compared the sound he heard to that of wood breaking[5] and, in the aftermath, English journalist Edward Owen coined the phrase "Butcher of Bilbao" to describe Goikotxea,[4][5] a nickname which remained attached him for the rest of his career.
From Wikipedia
This guy is ranked as the toughest footballer of his generation. And he never apologized to his ruthlessness

Unlike today where social media no go allow you rest if you tear Messi cruciate. Even FIFA would mandate that you deliver a public apology or get banned

Modern football is tactically demanding but physically the kind of rough play Pele and down to Maradona endured, many players in this age are bubbles. Football is almost becoming a no contact sport.

You think those guys can match Sane or Mane in fitness? Or do you see how effortlessly Mo Salah runs at fast pace?

Do you read how CR7 train for hours to maintain his fitness? What about the revolutionary diet those guys are on?

Those Brazilians will not even come close.

Look at some Pictures of Sane. This is not power-power body but high grade fitness.
Oga, he just answered your question. Why do you like going around in circles?

The guys of old didn't have all these modern gym and equipment and tech yet they played an insane no of games in harsh officiating conditions. Note that racism was rife and many refs were dirty

Na so. Walker?? Walker got nothing on Cafu. Walker is fit and a running beast but nothing special.
Even Carlos Alberto is levels above Walker in all aspects even in fitness. How Alberto got up and down the pitch was a marvel combined with his Football IQ.

Mendy is a LB. And he still falls behind great LBs of the game like R.Carlos and co. He should try staying fit for a full season then I can start taking him seriously.
Biassaka is all power and pace. Nothing special.

Robertson is indeed the only one I can point to that is vintage. A true fit LB with a highly cerebral brain for the beautiful game.

So you can see they aren't hundreds of Cafu, Carlos, Lizarazu, Carlos Alberto kinda fullbacks.
Don't also forget Willy Sagnol

His career was cut short by injury at 31 yrs of age but that guy was so good!!!!!!

Have you watched Mendy and Kyle Walker play? These two guys are up and down the pitch in seconds. Sometimes you find them in attack and defence at split second intervals.

We have loads of very fit full backs. Watch Wan Bissaka, Robertson (who I feel is the fittest), Danny Rose impresses me a lot.
Stop that!!!

Comparing kyle walker and Mendy to Cafuhuh Chai....

Cafu don't suffer
