Giroud's contributions for France were nonexistent in 2018 no goal no assist. Griezzmann tried but I can plausible say without Mbappe France may not have won in 2018 or be in the conversation for a possible second this year.

Forgot to add Giroud and Griezzmann were in the French 2014 world cup squad yet they didn't even make it to the semis not to talk of winning it. That should tell you the importance of Kylian.

Pele and Maradona didn't they do something similar which we hail them for?

andrewbaba44:
we should also put giroud in goat conversation and even griezman who was their best player at the 2018 world cup

Make everybody kuku become goat once and for all

I wish the reporter had asked for where specifically wasn't completed because according to reports in October the bridge was almost ready only the access roads were still to be worked on.

He said, “The bridge project is 95 per cent complete, and it is expected to be delivered by the end of December 2022 but there is a second phase, which is a 3.3-kilometre road approach on the Delta side and a 7-kilometre approach road on the Anambra side that is yet to commence.

If the argument were access roads then that's a different issue but saying the Bridge itself isn't complete is not factual.

Itsrm:
This confirms you were right

So it's only when a project has been commissioned that's when it's completed not when people start using it?

I hear you bro

I also like the way you oscillate between 'project' and 'bridge' when pushing the argument of whether the second Niger Bridge is complete.

Whatever way you try to spin it the bridge is complete fact. If you remember your argument was because some of the access roads to bridge wasn't complete therefore the bridge was not completed. I then countered that alternative access roads would be built for commuters to link and use the bridge which has come to pass.

If you insist the bridge isn't completed please humour me what is left to do on it that hasn't been done? Notice I said BRIDGE not access roads.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]A project like the 2nd Niger bridge has been completed, yet it has not been commissioned

Rather, it was opened so people can use it.

I agree, the project has been completed and delivered [/color]

izzou:
[color=royalblue]If you just want to force your opinion so you win, i have no problem with that.

[b]I personally told you the bridge isn't completed.[/b]I never said it wasn't open or it won't be.

If i ask you to show me where i said otherwise, you'll tell us how busy you are.

The bridge has not been completed. It is right there in the previous statements. But, please ignore it as usual

By the way, you win[/color]

It's too early in the day to start turning amala.

Bridge is complete

Bridge is open to vehicular traffic

Commuters as attested to by the report in the link I've posted have started using the bridge

QED.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Was this the argument?

I said it hasn't been completed. You can clearly see where i said I'll show you what it looks like if i pass it.

Abi, you no dey see am?[/color]

My comrade in anti-PESSImism how are you doing today? If well doxology!

I just wanted to bring to your special attention this development what say you?

Best regards

Your comrade in the Disgrace the Eibarman Movement

izzou:


[color=royalblue]Your argument is really strong.

God helping me, I would use that bridge in December (Even though I have no business there), so I can show you what they mean.[/color]

Bros to inspire your country to reach 2 world cup finals and probably win both in this modern era no be beans.

Why else do we hail greats like Pele and Maradona if not their world cup performances?

Mujtahida:
Even if he wins, I don't see how that brings Mbappe into the GOAT conversation. We are talking greatest of all time here not world best. Only four players out of the myriad of great players come within that conversation - Pele, Maradona, Messi, Ronaldo.

Abi this GOAT thing na everyday commodity?

Congratulations bro may God bless and keep your beautiful bundle of joy. Congrats and regards to madam too.

Skimpledawg:
Many thanks everyone

@BlueRayDick, Kingbolton

At the beginning before the start of the world cup when I said that the French were formidable I knew what I was saying.

To think they have gotten to the final without the services of Benzema, Kante, Nkunku and Pogba makes it that more impressive this feat of reaching the finals.

If Mbappe nabs a second World Cup title then he will most definitely be in the GOAT conversation.

You this guy ehn

forgiveness:
Those calling for Amuneke are doing so because of Nwakali.

That's the easiest way he can make the national team.

This is the question komekn always avoids answering. If it was the Portuguese mafia that chased him away from Wolves how come Dominic hasn't gotten any reasonable offer from any top club? Abi the mafia blocked other top clubs from using him?

Danielnino00:
All these things you wrote about Iorfa na conspiracy theory.. Nothing is factual..
As at the time we approached Iorfa, we badly needed his service seeing as we were on a rebuilding mission..It was around the time we got Iwobi who was barely a regular in Arsenal first team at that time... Unfortunately for Iorfa,when he was ready to rep us, there wasn't much need for his service.. Let me remind you of a certain Nedum Onuoha..Their case are similar...

Even if your argument about Jorge Mendes systemically freezing Iorfa out of the team, then how come no better club came to sign him? Man has literally spent all his career in the lower division of English football...

Thank you for your concern but we fans of the GOATEST ask that you respect our privacy during this trying time.

andrewbaba44:
Any Ronaldo fans here ?

Make una identify una self before I begin fish una out

I'm here

Surprisingly I back you on this 100%.

Yes having quality players gives you the edge but at the end of the day you have to have passion for the flag and badge. Desire that will make you play beyond your supposed natural capabilities.

Reminds me of the Greek fairytale run to the Euro title in 2004.

E'too was on to something after all

Blueelf:
It doesn't matter what club you play for, the league you ply your trade in, there's just this monster you transform into when you don the national lteam colors of your country because of one thing; PASSION

Those Moroccans want to die if need be on that pitch. Look at Maguire playing god-mode football because of the passion he has for repping England

Can the same thing be said for our boys? They are more interested in the hailings of "Senior man, Senior Man" they get in every hotel they lodge in Nigeria than they are in playing

I'm not even surprised if thorough investigations reveal that some players have bought and secured a spot in the teams starting eleven or 23 because I don't understand why our players attitude stinks to high heavens

Na force them dey Force you to play for your country? There are many ajegunle boys that told me that if they were given an assignment to man mark Messi in a game for naija to secure national team spot,they don't mind dying and shedding their blood for it (I know this is a bit extreme but you get my point)

It's high time we invite players based on passion and form in the national team colors than our overgrown "Senior Men"

It will not be better from you any players that bought his way in the team. Both him and the bribe receiver will not know peace. The club they ply their trade in will sack them and they will become church rats for making a nuisance of our football. Amen!!

Yea, I said ir

Congrats Morocco best African performance hopefully this should ginger the rest of the African continent to aspire for better performances next time out. Morocco blazing the trail at world cups were also the first African country to advance past the group stage in 1986.

Funny unflattering opinion about Germany at the world cup

This is a perfect summary of why no-one should be feeling sorry for Germany's downfall in international football. 😂

So good. 😂

Silly Brazilian coach once I saw Fred come in I suspected things might go awry. Pained for Neymar not thanks to the Brazilian frauds from Man U

Neymar coming clutch for Brazil to think people were comparing him to Hazard that year

100% right. Remove insecurity Nigeria can host AFCON in 6 months. MKO stadium in Abuja, Teslim Balogun in Lagos, Uyo Stadium, Benin city stadium, Adokiye stadium in Rivers. Not to mention Ibadan, Delta, Kano that can be renovated.

minfelix:
Abeg bro what happened to those few venues I mentioned, why do think they can't host Afcon games... insecurities as major threat aside, 9ja get stadia that can host Afcon

Using my skeptical mind what if they decide to go the dollar route? Victims families transfer the naira equivalent into the BDC's account and collect all the dollars aboki have at their disposal.

BlueRayDick:
This why I'm open minded about this new policy. Normally I'm not the best of fan of this failed Buhari led APC government, but I'm seeing the possibility of making life difficult for Kidnappers and Bandits who demand millions at will and overnight people cough out millions in cash to the kidnappers, they release their kidnappers and business continue as usual. Remember it was reported that one on the train kidnap victims(I think It's the Bank of Agriculture top guy) had his family and friends cough out N100m and he was released . Do u know what N100m can turn to in the hands of those blood thirsty criminals ?

So I'm thinking just maybe if the Kidnappers and Bandits know it's practically impossible for the victim's family to just mop up that much cash within short period of time , just maybe they will think of the "Business" now as being less profitable and more risky. At least no kidnapper or Bandit will be foolish enough to accept transfer which leaves a paper trail.

I'm giving the government and APC CBN governor Emefiele the benefit of doubt on this one.

Getting to world cup quarterfinal is not a trophy. Winning a tournament gives you clout. Unless Morocco wins this world cup if they don't win subsequent afcons their generation will be respected but not honored because they didn't win jack.

Turkey that finished 3rd in the 2002 world cup can you name any player from that squad? No be only market value na stock market rate E'too has never progressed beyond group stage in World Cup for Cameroon yet he's globally rated even ahead of Roger Milla.

typicalgamer:
if osimehn scored hat trick in a World Cup like Ramos did yesterday

And if he scored same hat trick at afcon

Which would boost up his market value ??

So use your head and get sense afcon holds no water, top 5 teams will have double mind signing a top performer at afcon, as opposed to World Cup.

I repeat stop thinking about your glory days it’ll only hold you back

You'll trade an AFCON title for a team that has only one CHAN title to its name in almost 50 years?

SE is currently poor yes we agree but all this inferiority complex hyping other teams above ours is really amusing. Cameroon, Senegal and Ghana got to the quarterfinals in past world cups heaven didn't collapse but we should now commit harakiri because Morocco has achieved what others have done before make una dey calm down.

typicalgamer:
Baba you better chill and appreciate god thing when you see it

I’d trade our last decade of our soccer history for what they’ve done right now even though they didn’t advance past the next stage

Banky has also generally diversified into acting, speaking gigs here and there plus I'm sure he has some serious investments.

No doubt he will cashout astronomically if he wins next February.

Unfortunate price to pay so they won't dam river Niger on their end.

GeneralDae:
Nigeria is a funny country. While Nigeria struggles with electricity, a whooping 4.014 trillion naira (around 10 Billion dollars) is total debt being owed to Nigeria by Togo, Niger, and Benin Republic since 2018 for electricity supply.

I didn't see that part unless I rewatch it again but even at that the French guy's own too the ball seemed to hit side before touching his arm.

Marjoribanks:
You dey dissappoint, aje! You no see that the ball hit his knew first.
The same rule was applied 2018, when we played Argentina. Dat ManU guy headed the ball into his own arm and the referee did not give a penalty.

Ordinarily I will agree with you but the kind of VAR penalty decisions I've seen has me doubting.

Look at France vs Poland for instance the ball hit the French defender's arm but was still called as a pen even though his arm was close to his body and his back turned. Using that criteria I could also argue that Stone's arm was a little bit extended plus he was beside the Senegalese forward.

Mujtahida:
That ball was not a handball na. It's not everytime the ball touches a players hands that it amounts to an handball. It is even debatable if that ball touched Stone's hand.

I would be more worried about Kenya if I were you.

rvp20182:
Ghana - look like Ghana debt sustainability is complete - and unlike the mad cow theory that they had liquidity problem - they actually have structural debt problem.

Now we wait for the market reaction . This is essentially a Sovereign Default.

This could essentially lock Ghana out of both domestic and foreign debt market.

Agree 100% Senegal really pushed them for the first 30 minutes until Henderson's goal.

I thought I was the only one who noticed the handball. Honestly it's an absolute joke with all these inconsistent VAR calls.

As for France beating England that's possible but the yeye 3 lions might just park the bus and hit on counter like they deployed at the 2020 Euros.

komekn:
Disagree completely.

Saar had Walker on toast and missed a sitter, blasting over the bar no composure. Pickford made a world class save. England were on the ropes clueless for near 35 minutes of the first half.

After Senegal conceded two goals against the run of play. They Senegal lost belief and composure and all of a sudden England started dominating.

Goals change games and that's what happened for England.

Did anybody notice the handball it was worse than the handball Poland got against France. But no penalty given.

Probably shedding tears into the bosom of his Senegalese bae.
