fredoooooo:

allez le blues on behallf of chic2pimp

Yes that's my boy

mukina2: the devil is a liar!

Na lie nah you be the liar jor

Fredoooo Abeg join me shout Allez Le Blues . By hook or by crook Africa United must not beat the Real sons of Africa today

mukina2: Allleeeeeez les Bleus

Fredoooooo, you should not allow chic2pimp support Nigeria o good for us sha the dude carries badluck

If nah bad luck I dey carry for this tourney then I support France. Allez Le Blues!!! .

thegoodjoehunt: If Van Rail did not ask for it, these Cooling Breaks/time outs will never happen. This is not the first tropical world cup. The gap in football is closing and now the heat is starting to have more effect.

No matter the level of harshness of the weather in Russia, it will still be too harsh for the African players or Americas players.

If an African Coach like Coach Keshi asks for Heating/Coffee breaks like Van Gaal, Fifa would not sanction it.

After the Italian match against Costa Rica, six of their players were asked to do a doping test, while every other nation only has to submit two.

There is a clear European agenda here.

Less attention would have been paid to it most definitely if the coach did not bang on about it. You have to give Van Gaal his dues though. He made sure his team were not disadvantaged.

Fifa would have no other choice if the Africans and South Americans unite and ask for it. As I said before the argument that most Africans and South Americans now play in Europe could be used.

Not sure if there's an European agenda tbh. The fact that they have 12 teams as opposed to five from Africa and 4 from south America(6 in this due to host Brazil and the other having qualified through a playoff) is enough

elampiro: Ok, I get you.

But Carv alho won several player of the month.

Emenike, Moses and Musa won the nation's cup, Moses was the tournament overall 2nd best. It could be argue he was the best. James had not won a regional national competition like the nation's cup when he was bought.

No doubting Carvalho is a quality player but still a bit unproven. Then again we are talking about today's hyperinflated market.

He definitely hasn't. The closest was the Toulon tournament they won in 2011. But the South American CONMEBOL trophy is much harder to win.

thegoodjoehunt: Are they saying that is the highest temperature in footballing history? They know the Dutch can not cope in the Weather against the Mexicans, that is why they brought in this rule for the first time.

These are the same people who are taking the World Cup to Qatar which is hotter than Brazil.

The next World Cup is at Russia, what will they do for the tropical teams like Nigeria and Brazil playing in extreme cold? Blanket Breaks?

Not it's not. To be fair to be Fifa they've said right from the onset " Cooling breaks" will be used if required. And most definitely the hot temperature favoured Mexico reason why LVG Was banging on about this breaks in his press conference.

Will definitely be seeing loads of Cooling breaks in Qatar.

Don't think the world cup in Russia would be played in the season when the cold will be at it's harshest. Plus most footballers play in Europe nowadays so I suppose it'll be more of a level playing field.

Tbh I'm surprised about this cooling breaks too. USA 94 was actually hotter than this but then again I remember one or two teams complained about the weather being too hot.

elampiro: Then we could as well say that Ahmed Musa, Emenike and Victor Moses are proven.

Which of those aforementioned players have won an award for being the best player in the respective leagues they ply their trade in?

Plus unlike Carvalho Hames is actually a regular starter for country

thegoodjoehunt: [b
By the way, that water break was a clear fraud to level the ground for the Europeans. The first in World Cup history. How come no water breaks in the two matches yesterday? [/b]

FIFA'S explanation is that the temperature and humidity out there today was simply too high. The hottest day of the competition so far.

Also expect to see some more "Cooling Breaks" tomorrow in the Naija vs France match

elampiro: Why must we always be the ones to complain about this market? When Monaco bought James for 45million, was he proven?

YES!!!

Fc Porto and the Colombian National Team

hollandis: That's the way it seems but in truth the Greek are annoyingly defensive.That's the charcter of a defensive team ,they make their opponents angrey

Yet they have created the more clear cut chances? Both sides are defensive abeg not just Greece

Vires: This is not the Costa Rica that played England or Uruguay, they are playing like, they are tired
In fact since this round of 16 has started, all the teams are playing like they are bored of the whole tournament already!!!!!!

it is o. Those sides are just not as hardworking as Greece. They've matched the Costa Ricans for work rate which neither Uruguay nor Italy did

[quote author=Missy_89]So tell me how is Britain relevant in today's world? and how are they different from other developed nations in Europe?[/quote]Do I really need to type a lengthy paragraph on the relevance of Britain in today's world? The fact that you are currently typing in English is one.

fredoooooo: wetin be my own now

No be you dey encourage am ni?

[quote author=Missy_89]The English have always been a sore losers.

Look at how their Media cried over and over again you would think Chiellini was English. some of their arrogant pundits are even saying the punishment isnt enough for Suarez

Their Media and their PM was crying last week about Junker as well and now that they have lost they wouldn't let it go. and the same thing happened when the lost the world cup bid . they keep witch hunting different FAs, recording them and keep telling us they are doing investigative journalism the same way the ruined Amos Adamu's career.

Always trying to be relevant when we are no longer in 1800 [/quote]Not trying to be relevant. THEY ARE ACTUALLY VERY MUCH RELEVANT! .It's cool though since I know spite and hatred has blocked your reasoning

mukina2: engerrlaaand italiaaa Milaaaaaan

El Guapo: Chic2pimp you survived the NL post-apocalyptic abi you die?

Just wanted to remind you that my prophecy panned out nicely - the Azzurri are pants!

looool Bro just about you know.... Them wan kill me but Bobo no fit die

Nah not really. First of all I think we were unlucky to loose the Uruguay match. Marchiosio's red card pretty much cost us that tie. We were pretty much in control up to that point and if any team looked like getting a goal it was the Azzuris. I watched yesterday's game vs Colombia and still don't know how we lost.

mukina2:

pawpaw leaves smoking is harmful to your health.

Fredooooo I dey Glastonbury. No disturb me abeg

nonjebose: Rademel falcao's loss is James Rodriguez revelation

I take it you did not watch the south american qualifiers right? James was even more important to Colombia during qualifiers than Falcao was. He's been playing this well for 2 years now.

5 goals and 4 Assists so far no be beans abeg

jotey: Yea nd mikel was d beta player last year

You need to back up your argument not just simply say "Yeah Mikel was the better player last year"

thegoodjoehunt: The author said the finest player is the criteria and capabilities. Jay Jay for years was Africa's finest with the best capabilities. Any addition defeats the author's reason for Yaya being the best.

No the author is absolutely right and justified in his thinking.

thegoodjoehunt:
The award, however, is to recognise Africa’s finest player; it becomes hard to look too far beyond Yaya.
The Ivorian may not have been at his best over 2013 and he may not have lifted any silverware, but he remains Africa’s standout talent..
http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4082/editorial/2014/01/10/4533194/yaya-toure-cafs-rightful-player-of-the-year

How does the Author defeat his own argument?

Is Toure not far and away Africa' so finest? When was Okocha ever Africa's finest? Remind me please?

Is Toure not Africa's stand out talent bare none? Can't remember this ever being the case with Okocha. Again feel free to edjucate me.

thegoodjoehunt: lHe is the player capable of performing like no other, of dominating contests like no other and of performing more consistently than any other.

#TeamMikel

Now this sentence should really put to bed any ill conceived attempt at a debate in favour of Mikel. There is no other player in Africa as I type that same can be said off.

thegoodjoehunt: [i][size=12pt]
How come the finest player is the career and Jay Jay Okocha who had the most capability in Africa didn't win it up to 8 times.
#TeamMikel

Simply put Jay Jay barring his twilight years with Bolton was more of a circus performer.

peacelife: I think CAF should educate coaches on what 2 look out for on what an african award should be b4 de vote... it is 4 d players dat av impact on african football.. nt wt u play in shirtsea or romancecity... we are nt lookin 4 'African.epl' player of d yr. D focus is Africa. Total crap.

I think u are the one that needs to be educated.

The Award is given to the player adjudged to have been the best player on the African continent in that calendar year(which Yaya clearly was) not the rubbish u typed up there(Impact on African Football ko Impact on Globalisation ni).

3ddy: was he beta dan zidane dat year??so wen mentionin top class players den,yhu'd mention cannavaro??

I think u should stick to watching table soccer. Who in their right mind would not call Canna a top class player?
