If it was strictly 60's then you might have a point but Beckenbauer made more impressions in the 70's

And I would think Marzolini, Rivera and Eusebio would make it ahead of Moore, Charlton and Best if you remove your Anglo centric glasses

If na 80's Which Keegan? Is that not the decade of Maradona, Van Basten, Rummenigge, Zico? How Keegan was take enter

charlton, law & best were the legends of the 60s. they formed the original holy trinity before tevez/rooney/ronaldo reinvented it in 2008. charlton, law & george best all won their ballon d'or in the 60s.....that should tell you how they must have dominated europe in that particular decade.

I first saw him around February 1999 in one of the male hostels and he looked odd, make his hair, wore hipsters and was catwalking I thought this is either a very ugly girl or a confused guy.

From then he just went haywire. He even changed his name from Dapo saying that was too masculine. He was interviewed by a campus magazine (Megaphone) where he said he hope to go to another country have a sex change and be a mother

he's now a she!
her sex change is now complete. she went to spain & she somehow convinced british authorities that her lifestyle made her a victim in nigeria. they believed shim - she's now in britain & i am very sure my taxes paid for her surgery. there was a documentary on TV about her like 2 years ago sef & she blasted nigeria there. na yeye human being!

freecocoa:
Hmm.
Them say them say.

i saw shim with my korokoro eyes. shim is uglier than jabba the hutt!

nyabinghi:
maybe you need to read the posts all over. I used different players as examples, lesser players have won trophies, great players didn't win, I asked if those great players should be called shyte since they didn't win such. For example emenike won afcon, drogba didn't. Kantogo won afcon, kanu didnt

stop comparing nobodies to the debate that has messi & maradona in it. maradona won trophies for club & country. messi is an underachiever for his country. that is the difference between the two.

Dapo case no be today. Anyone in OAU in the late 90's early 2000 knew him well

In school then we heard he was molested when he was in KC

Later he went haywire wearing women clothes, trying to get accommodation in female hostel

There was a day his professor told all the females who aren't dressed properly to leave the lecture and he stood up and left

He got a lot of beating then while in Ife

i saw shim once or twice at OAU in the early 2000s. i was wondering why anyone would have such low levels of self esteem. she wore heels & carried a lady's bag.

yeah, i heard shim got beaten a lot by people who found her way of life repulsive. there was a gist about one rich aristo that visited the school for a weekend.

he picked dapo up thinking he had found a girl to lay for the night only to discover dapo had a pënis under the mini skirt. the aristo beat the living daylight out of dapo.

The peanuts of a footballer is the blood money of most other professions. I remember Ashley Cole's saga with Arsenal
These guys have no excuse to go broke later in life but even in the NFL many ex-players go broke soon after retiring.

it's easy for them to go broke.....
they are self-employed and that means their their wages are given to them in one lump. it's up to them to hire an accountant to put their taxes aside.....and put some cash(that would be equivalent of their pension & gratuity) in a savings account for rainy days.

RVP weekly salary would buy 4 range rovers. The main hustle na to be pro footballer

Even Mikel Obi would buy a range every 2 weeks all cash

the funniest ish is they don't have to pay cash down. they can get it on finance. with wages like that, their credit score should be very near 999.

i shoulda disobeyed my parents & take my football seriously. i was one the most fearsome striker in my school but i gave it all up for calculus & kirchoff's laws.

raumdeuter:
even if you are the least earner in the team say you dey earn 30k per week in a month you have the full amount for a cash down no finance Range rover and a flat

SOme of them are even given these rides for free. e.g every Bayern layer gets an Audi of their choice every yr since Audi is one of our sponsors

VFB Stuttgart is sponsored by Mercedes Benz

united players get chevrolet cars free too. the range is nothing to these guys, they make so much money for cars to matter to them.

SailorXY:
all these guys are big ballers mehn, I no know why I no pursue career in football

that RvP Range tho

£250k per week salary.
range rover is £70k(cash down).

it's the equivalent of your landlord buying agege bread for his tenants. at that level, buying an automobile is no longer a problem.

PMIcon:
He doesn't even have to spend money. There are those who will help them free but they are trained for that. Please don't advise him against something that important.

he doesn't need counselling - he needs common sense. so counselling would undo the fact that his partner has made herself a temporary wife to her ex-boyfriend?

nyabinghi:
who got asier del horno sent off in 2006 ucl against chelsea wasn't it messi after skinning robben, messi has 4 ucl titles maradna can only dream off excuses for maradona he was a barca failure despite his world record signing

by diving & acting like a complete prîck?
maradona has a world cup - a competition many pundits agreed he won single-handedly. that alone surpasses anything messi has achieved.

4 UCL titles? costacurta has 5 UCL titles and he's not better than kompany.

StarBoard:
The link is legit.

i am not doubting the authenticity of the link. it's the side story that got me laughing. in a nutshell, it was because we conceded a goal from drogba's header that we are buying a tall defender in the right back position.

isn't that funny to you?

elampiro:
Manchester United have agreed a fee with
Torino for Italy international right-back Matteo
Darmian, according to Sky Italia sources.

Talks between the clubs have been ongoing
and, after rejecting United's first two bids,
Torino have agreed to sell their prized defender
for £12.7million (€18m).
Darmian is a versatile defender who is capable
of playing in either full-back spot, though his
favoured position is on the right, but also has
experience at centre-half and at 6ft tall offers a
strong aerial presence.

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11667/9905726/manchester-united-have-agreed-a-fee-with-torino-for-matteo-darmian

that skysports link is funny.....
no matter who you put next to drogba in the near post, he cannot be stopped from scoring from a corner if the ball is put near post.

didn't drogba score a similar goal against bayern in the UCL final? only the delivery can stop drogba from scoring. he's the master of such goals from a corner. rafael can't be blamed at all.

leggo:
Yes, yes of course, the group stages are not important at all... I agree with you! As a matter of fact , the knockout rounds are not useful, might as well just up and play a final.

the knock out rounds are useful & messi did not play in the 4 games of the quarters & the semis. there's no way anyone can say messi contributed to the UCL barca won in 05/06.

leggo:
if...
but they didn't, did they? he played the group stages ,that's all matters

and winning the group stages does not guarantee winning the trophy. only the knock out games actually count & messi was nowhere to be found when the going got tough.

freelance777:
Does that counseling of a thing truly do work? I am in a big doubt to that.

don't waste your money on counselling in nigeria. they don't know squat & they are not even professional enough to keep your story confidential.

your wife is cheating - it's up to you to take any action you deem fit.

leggo:
so we should ignore his prior contribution because he got injured?? Logic

he had no meaningful contribution.
if barca could do without him in the knock out stage, then they woulda done without him in the easier games in the group stage.

leggo:
the bedrock of his entire argument is mere silt, how can a player play 6 out 7 games then gets injured the 2nd round a passenger and not a winner? it is instructive to note that Solksjaer also played 6 games in '99, 5 of which were as a sub..

why are you comparing apples to oranges. solakjaer got the winner in the final against bayern. messi didn't kick a ball from the q/final till the trophy was won.

what's the comparison?

SailorXY:
as long as we've made no official bid, there's no proof we're interested. I don't care for all the praises, we better start getting players LvG already penciled down.

this is almost done - english journos have been briefed!

StarBoard:
Ok then.
Let's hope he lives up to the plaudits.
I hope he keeps out some of our error-prone defenders on the bench.

he will put valencia on the bench.

I'm also hoping one of Otamendi or Ramos signs for us. That would bolster our back line and send Evans away for good.

if de gea leaves this summer, we would get ramos. if madrid continues to play hard with ramos, they will not get de gea this summer.

otamendi should have been signed by now. he made team of the tournament again in copa america. what else do we need to confirm he's a great defender. vidal is also available & back in form.

LVG should forget bastian & splash the cash on vidal. we should have up to 3 bull-dogs in that midfield area to protect the defence. woodward must tie up at least 3 players this month.

StarBoard:
I'm only skeptical about players with multi-faceted abilities.
Phil Jones comes to mind.

this dude is better than jones.....
he has no mistake in him. he's the italian azpilicueta. no errors in their game.

this is his assessment from a SERIE A pundit....

MrTA:
I know nothing about Darmian. Hopefully he's a good player and can fit into the club and required level.

i knew him via FIFA15.
he's a very good player. he has a good balance of offending/defending and he's miles better than clyne.

he won the best player award of the italian national team in 2014. he can play as RB or LB. he's the italian azpilicueta....the only doubt now is the moment he signs for us, he would tear a hamstring that would keep him out till 2016.

leggo:
lol... did scholes and keane play the final in our treble winning year? and how many games did pique play? You are up to your mischief again? if you don't play the final ,you did not contribute eh?... do you make up this rules as you go?
the legs of a weight lifter ..Lmao. I hear you

keane played in the second leg of the semis that got us to the final in the first place. without keane in turin, juve would have buried us.

messi didn't play in the 2 legs in the q/final. messi didn't play in the 2 legs in the semis. messi didn't play in the final. without messi in the squad, barca would still have won the UCL that year.

they had guily, ronaldinho, etoo & larsson in their attack.

leggo:
isn't it a very silly thing to say messi was built on steroids when talking about soccer? Does anyone bring up Kanu's heart defect?
did messi not play 6 UCL games before getting injured in 06? ok

kanu's heart problem has nothing to do with his limbs. messi doped on steroids. his physique, bone structure did not develop naturally like normal human beings. he received excessive gh-therapy to reach the height he now stands.

if you look closely at his legs you will see that they have the shape of a weight-lifter, you can also compare the size of the muscle's on his legs to the size of his muscles in his upper body. it's over-dimensioned and that's a good indication of outside stimuli.

6 UCL games in 06?
did messi play in the final against arsenal? if he did not, how did he contribute to the trophy? messi did not play any of the games in the q/finals, semi-finals and the final? claiming messi won UCL in 05/06 is the equivalent of claiming pique won UCL for man utd in 07/08.

chrisley024:
Who knows this Darmian?

plays for torino in serie A.
he can play anywhere in the defence & he's good as a DM. he can do a job!

EyeKandy:
I'm not sure if she's inspired by me or straight-up competitive? Will you be worried?

How do you handle a close friend that copies everything you do. I mean, If i buy a brown bag today, she gets hers as well. I recently went on a vacation with the bf and now, she's talking about going there too. When she wanted to get into the same career field, I was there for her, advised her on schools and everything, but I'm getting uncomfortable.

Its so bad that I don't tell her what I plan to do with my hair. I showed her a picture of a hair style I wanted so she quickly went and did hers so I don't tell her nothing no more. I've not braided my hair in years. Now I have box braids on my hair, yesterday she mentioned that "she wouldn't mind braiding hers cos she likes the way it looks" I'm like, chile.....she tried it again!

Am I being petty?

you should happy your friend tries to copy you......

nyabinghi:
you that knew your soccer, how many holy grails did maradona win in barcelona, how many champions league did he win in his career or how many copa libertadores.

maradona spent only 2 seasons @barca and there was a period he was out for 3 months with a broken leg. messi won nothing in his first 2 seasons in the barca senior team as a regular player.

to me messi is in the same league as pele and maradona,he has done what they didn't do. Pele never played in europe so for me that is a minus one.

what has playing in europe gotta do with it? south america ruled the world in the days of pele. they were kicking europe's bütt year in year out from the late 50s to the early 70s when pele retired.

maradona never won the ucl but less fancied uefa another minus. Maradona never scored more goals that messi for the albiceleste.

maradona never played in a team that regularly qualified for the champions league. winning uefa with a low rated club like napoli is a bigger achievement than messi winning champions league with barca. barcelona won UCL in 2006 without messi. this proves the club is capable of winning the holy grail without messi.

La Pulga I repeat is up there with them. Messi never caused a brawl in la liga, he never shot at journalists, he never doped, he doesn't trash talk, he is the all time scorer in UCL, most goals in la liga, will be the player with the mose world best title, won the fifa golden ball at u20 and last world cup. He is the best.

messi is a bully.....
he bullied tello, alexi sanchez, etc out of the team. messi spat in the face of an opponent, messi is a tax evader and might still go to prison. messi was built up with steroids because of bone problems as a kid. he gets protected because of his humble beginning.

maradona won under-20 world cup in 1979, he won the golden ball in that tournament. maradona won serie A twice with napoli - it's the equivalent of QPR winning the premier league. he won UEFA with the same team & coppa italia.

He played against manu, inter, ac milan, madrid, arsenal, chelsea not santos,botafogo,flamengo or river plate,velez or lanus

no wonder messi cannot cut it for his national team. iniesta wins for club & country.....maradona won for club & country. messi only wins in the club & i have no doubt barcelona would have still won UCL titles without messi.

elampiro:
Messi has played two world cups, can you tell me any time he has produced a magic moment?

He has never produced a magic moment at senior level outside Barca. That is why he has not won a national trophy.

Pele produced magic moments for club and country to win several big trophies. Maradona produced some too.

This should end the argument until Messi produces a magic moment to win for Argentina

even when they hosted copa 4 years ago in argentina, messi couldn't win the competition. if the team was bad 4 years ago, was it bad this year? was it bad in 2007? we can't keep making all these excuses for messi when he's coming short in big international games.

see what goetze, muller, lahm, neuer did for germany at the world cup. these players aren't ghosts but whenever they turn up for their national teams, they wear their hearts on their sleeves. beating brazil 7-1 on brazil's soil will never be forgotten in the history of football

messi needs to step yo & time isn't really on his side.

nyabinghi:
maradona was a pure fraud at barcelona, I judge based on trophies. Messi has records maradona can only dream of , messi was never a drug cheat. Maradona would wish he was messi, 91 goals in a calenday year, la pulga is a soccer God

you dunno your football....
maradona scored 38 goals in 58 appearances as an attacking midfielder for barcelona. you call that fraud? he spent just 2 seasons at barca & injuries didn't really let him exert his influence at barca.

maradona suffered a broken ankle & hepatitis at barca. even with his limited appearances at barca, he won copa del rey with them. tell us how many goals messi scored in his first 58 games in a barca shirt then we can decide if maradona was a flop or not.

maradona won something everywhere he played - club or national team. messi only does well in his club, he's useless in the national team. the present argentina team is more talented than the one maradona won the world cup with. what is messi's excuse?

why is messi useless whenever he's not wearing the barca shirt?

Lisaflex:
My sons will be virgins

that choice isn't in your hands.....it's in their hands.

nyabinghi:
Messi has won what maradona or pele never won, messi has. 4ucl medals, did maradona not flop in barcelona, messi scored more than maradona for the albiceleste, he has an olympic medal something maradona or pele never won, he has the most goals in a calendar year. He has tried his best for his country so he should be spared the bull shit. Da lima was great but had no great achievements for his clubs, he never won the ucl, he never scored 5 times in a match. Messi is a soccer God.

maradona flopped at barcelona? how?
you people would just write any nonsense. olympic football is an age grade competition - it is under-23. it's like saying kanu is superior to yekini cos kanu won an olympic medal.

messi cannot clean maradona's boot when it comes to leadership & putting a whole team on his shoulder. watch argentina vs brazil in italia 90 again and tell me messi could have pulled that off.

by the time maradona supplied the assist to caniggia, 4 brazilian defenders collided with each other not knowing where the ball went. it's the best football moment in any world cup. the world musta stood still on the day.

diego is 100 times better than messi.......

raumdeuter:
Maybe when we see these Italian defenders play outside their leagues and they are nothing special you need to look deeper

I saw how Oddo, Barzagli and Zaccardo were disgraced in Bundesliga before running back to the comfort of Italy or how Canavaro as reigning WPOTY was embarassed in La Liga

all the italians that left seria A to ply their trade elsewhere were already past their peak. you cannot use those examples to judge. ac milan had some brilliant attacking teams when van basten, gullit, etc were starring for them & they still kept the defending business world class.

italians have the best defence! germans can't even compete with them.

Lisaflex:
I fnk d men who rnt virgins shld wear black n also paint their skins wt charcoal

remember you will have sons one day.

elampiro:
I have always remembered Argentina were robbed and Maradona cried. But I have forgotten what that ojoro incidence was. Can you remind Me? Never repeated that match.

the penalty decision that gave germany their only goal. it wasn't even a tackle and the ref gave it in a final that was going to end 0-0.

raumdeuter:
Italia 90 was brutal I think it was after that FIFA ruled out tackles from behind. See the match vs Brazil and how many times Alemao and Dunga hacked Maradona thats more than any modern day footballer suffered in a season

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PA0-U3RsOKY
I think it was in the same match that Carecas jersey was torn

that was why maradona's performance in this game alone eclipsed whatever messi has achieved. it's the best performance i have seen from an individual in a world cup game.

the odds were against them.....
brazil were better than them on paper. careca was the most fearsome striker in the world & maradona inspired an average team to defeat the almighty brazil.

leggo:
so what did you learn besides feints, incessant nutmegging and Pele making a habit of lifting the ball to defenders arms for a foul?

laying the ball for an oncoming player to strike it sweetly. back then, most passes were ball to feet. i told my team mates then that the passes should be put a bit ahead so i can run to it.

weedtaker:
mehn na only "best of this" and "best of that", i de watch o, wit greatest players of all time documentary on supersports. Nd eehm was pele d player who got sent off and was forced back in to continue the match due to the spectators threatening to go wild if he doesn't continue

yes!
against portugal in 66 world cup. had pele not gotten injured, they woulda won that world cup. portugal set out to cripple pele in that game!
