I think croatia played Denmark ,Russia winning both with pk ,dragging England to extra time with a late winner from mandzukic or so

But yeah they told us modric dragged croatia to the finals when mandzukic was the one scoring crucial goals with Ivan Perisic brilliance also

Is modric a striker, how many goals did Xavi and Iniesta score when Spain won world cup...Abi is it not the same iniesta that was given best Player at Euro 2012 with 0 goals and 0 assists despite playing in a forward position...This your agenda need better maggi to cook well

Senegal coach goofed badly by playing only two midfielders, this meant harry Kane could come into midfield with impunity with the foolish Koulibaly following him up and down leaving space in behind for midfield runners...England vs France should be tasty, edge to the World Champions

The present generation praises maradona but mocked pele who scored so many offside in the Brazil league and MLS all his career

How many do you know that watched Pele at his peak, the Pele in 70 which was the first world cup in coloured tv was not even peak Pele...Many people watched peak maradona

WhoDeyHause:
I think mbappe will still win the euros and dominate everything internationally but what makes ronaldo and Messi stand out is their consistentcy and will to win. Even when their body fails them they use good thinking to cover up for it. If mbappe loses his speed he won't be as effective like before.

That remains to be seen, Ronaldo lost his blistering speed from his early years and then reinvented himself as a center forward.... Don't forget he's just 23 and yet to reach his peak (25-29), he has more gears to reach...

BlaqFaze:
You're no different from a pussy...if coward is a person, he's better than you

Carry your stupidity back to your family compound...The end, not replying your foolishness again

WhoDeyHause:
Can this mbappe score 91 goals in a calendar year or 17 champions league goals in a season? What about 7 and 5 ballon dors? Mbappe can never be greater than Messi and Ronald. I'm putting it here so that future nairaland readers will see it.

He doesn't need to win 7 and 5 balon d'or...Zidane and The phenomenon won balon d'ors and world cup as best player but in the goat conversation Dem nor dey maradona level...Though I don't see mbappe surpassing Messi in the Goat conversation

BlaqFaze:
He took his team to the knockout stages with 3G+A...the last time the Egyptian slave played in the WC, he was being flogged without pity by Saudi Arabia, finishing the group with ZERO points.

He couldn't qualify this year sef...trash!

Who is this fool quoting me...Carry your madness back to your family house..Idiot

France are not winning this world cup...

.

Omoh which one be all this middle men for the woto woto fight...We need 1hr of intense violence before the match start..

Agbadorians receiving it hot hot on a Sunday morning...Things you'd love to see

Which one be this papu Gomez na...The guy is finished

andrewbaba44:
Argentina never win today you don qualify them

Australia are foolish, Argentina to win by 3 goals today...I expect Argentina to get to the Semis at least which was why I picked Alvarez instead of depay

Ibime:
The manager get sense pass Scaloni

This result now na Van Gaal work

Yeah...But Argentina have enough individual talent to make up for it moreso that he has started picking team based on suitability rather than names...Lautaro and Paredes should not be anywhere near their First 11

Ibime:
Holland will beat Argentina if they meet in QF

The team I saw against Senegal and Ecuador won't beat Argentina...Too many donkeys like klassen, blind and Dumbfries

Knew depay would score today, just didn't pick him cuz I expect them to go out against Argentina...Make vinicius get sense sha

MorataFC:
Golden ball should attract more points than golden boot.

Nah...You can't argue with amount of goals scored, sometimes golden ball is given to a player who was not even the best at that tournament...
Edit: In hindsight they should be given equal points cuz golden boot is heavily skewed in favor of attackers...

FBS:
Star boy Part 2.

For those that are interested, please see below rules for the next round/s. Keep in mind that this is not Fantasy league. The aim is not necessarily to "score" points. We are basically looking for the Star boy in the making. That player who you feel will or is about to establish himself on the BIGGEST stage of football - the World Cup.

Max 2 players
No OGs, (e.g, Kylian, Neymar, Ronaldo, Messi etc)
Bonus 5 points for every player that made it to the next round
For new analysts joining the "Eye test" contest - points from previous matches will not be carried over into R16.
Each goal = 15 points
Assist = 10 points
MOTM = 20 points
Yellow card = - 5 points
RED Card = - 10 points.
Penalty miss (in game or Penalty shoot out) = -5

In addition to that

If a player wins an award at the end of the tournament;
Golden boot - 30 points
young player - 20 points
golden ball - 20 points

I think this is fair and clear enough.

Over to you guys. Post and tag me accordingly before the start of R16 matches.

Add J.alvarez and vinicius

Leyqute:
What chance to qualify?

Serbia has to win Switzerland before they can qualify.

Guy probably pulled off his shirt knowingly.

He was benched for the first 2 games and started the 3rd as captain.

Coach realized his mistake and tried to pacify him with the armband.

Even when the coach come greet at after him score, e no look him side.

Nah...they could have gone through with a draw in the other game if they had scored another, in that stage of the game it was foolish to waste time celebrating when you've not even qualified...Put a Nigerian player in that situation and see how you would have reacted

In the midst of all this shalayes and counter shalayes I repeat...Vote OBI for President, Successive PDP and APC government has run this country into the ground, abstaining from the electoral process is the same as supporting these wicked entities that have made Nigeria impossible to endure for the common man...Shikena

Aboubakar na fool...Pendu Jr, forget say u get chance to qualify dey pull shirt like idiot... Clown

Thazard:

Caught in his own bullshit..

andrewbaba44:
Konate is even outscoring a certain midfielder in your team

Charity begins at home

I see how you sidestepped the firmino Brazil point, no more Amala to turn??

Why is konate dragging stats with Fraudiola 100m signing...No wonder the nigga is stuck to the bench

andrewbaba44:
But Jesus has always been preferred to your firmino at the national team

He is an 100 million striker he should be outscoring Haaland ,your fanbase don change mouth ,we all saw how you where all boasting after the community schield

And how has Brazil done?...the only trophy Brazil has won in that period was with firmino as starting striker so cook another thing....

Your Fraudiola 100m signing Grealish cannot even outscore konate you're talking about Nunez?? ... Fraudiola

andrewbaba44:
No wonder your defensive striker was home while Gabriel Jesus is playing at Qatar

So you are no more comparing your 100 million man to Haaland

The coach left firmino in favor of inferior players, that's his business...the proof is in the pudding, let's see how Brazil do

Point where I compared Nunez to haaland or agree you're a dunce...Nunez does not have to perform as well as haaland to be successful, he's having a fantastic first season so far

andrewbaba44:
What about firmino ,you Dey call person positionless striker while you get defensive striker

You expect him to bench aguero or what ? I don’t get you guys ,agenda Dey turn una to something else

Who is your striker inside your 100 million man and your defensive firmino ?

A starting defensive striker and a benched positionless striker, I know which one I will take or is it the 100m man that has outscored G.Jesus this season Abi which one...Take your shalaye elsewhere

Ballzproblem2:
the thing shock me ,Jesus played well at man city , playing time was the reason he was sold

Would you relegate someone playing well to the bench, we saw how the media was crying that Pep had no striker but a positionless striker was on his bench...

NinjaXmetahuman:
1 year under pelegrini - sterling 11 goals
I year under fraudiola - sterling 10 goals.

Such a great improvement.

Players struggling at Chelsea is different from player struggling under a manager. Know the difference.

Chelsea has about 5 managers at the same time fraudiola spent at mancity, ofcos some players will struggle adapting with different systems of each manager.

Ziyech has played under 3 different managers and his output is still average. Let fraudiola improve the likes of jack grealish he bought for 100 million first , then come back and talk.

... I'm sure Grealish is thanking his stars that he has a wonderful manager like fraudiola, 2 yrs into city career newcomer like Alvarez is even ahead of him in attacking pecking order...That was how somebody was arguing that Pep made Messi, when nor be ment!!

popizaino:
Spain,Barcelona all rate Iniesta higher than Xavi but what do i know?

It's only people wey nor know ball that will rate iniesta over xavi because of eye test...The only thing iniesta has over xavi is dribbling, Xavi even from a deeper position in midfield had more match winning contribution over iniesta...There are levels to this shit

andrewbaba44:
Carrying an average team ,yeah when rakitic and mandzukic Perisic rebic kramaric where all missing sitters and sleeping while he did all the job

Interesting

Which of these world class players will enter the Spanish team of 2008-2012 bench never mind first team...

andrewbaba44:
Modric is not on iniesta level

So benzema is better than suarez and Lewandowski because he won the ballon d or

If you start this arguement you go loose .

Xavi I agree, iniesta Lai Lai
As per which level, Carrying an average team to final of world cup>>>>>
