chic2pimp: Messi would probably still win again....Just like he did in 2010
Voters seem to favour Messi

they would vote him...didn't he score 100 goals in the past
year for club and country? people can't see beyond him even
when he missed a penalty against a 10-man chelsea at nou camp.

chic2pimp: Actually he is currently in pole position to win that award.

He'll probably emerge at worst as the 2nd or 3rd best player of this tournament

he won his domestic league, scored 3 goals here....
it's better than anything messi has done in the last 12 months

AjanleKoko: Ballon D'Or Market is back open

it's not open....ronaldo did better at this tourney
than messi has ever done in copa america/world cup.

Abi now. He wears 10, and plays as a false nine. Sounds like one Argie we know

iniesta....what a player!

dayokanu: Why do teams leave their best player to take their last penalty?

I cant understand. Several times it never gets to them

Spain throughh

cesc is the best player in spain?

the better team won!

dayokanu: Was Michael Owen a regular anywhere at 30? Like Xavi, Pirlo etc

what does it matter, owen n milla started playing from their teens.
so because maldini played till 39 means vidic would replicate it?
you're a wuss!

dayokanu: You must have a dickk in your brain.

Pirlo is how old when he played 120mins 3days ago?? No one takes off their best player if he is playing well,

so because roger milla played at 39 yrs means michael owen would?
you're a troglodyte!

any player who has completed 97% of his passes, made 3 key passes, etc
has done his job!

nani's penalty, ramos' penalty....boss!

AjanleKoko: Pedro running them ragged, but with poor decisions with his final ball.
Spain really cranking it up in the final seconds, but this looks like it's going to be spot-kicks.

they left it too late but the quality in the last 15 mins has been world class....what we love to see.
if spain go out here, not having a proper forward would be their undoing.
they miss david villa...

dayokanu: Xavi was average that was why he was taken off, Or you take out a player like Xavi if he was excellent with the game still in the balance?

you're a troglodyte....
xavi was taken off because he's tired. scholes would not play
120 mins too whether he's played well or not.

xavi had 97% pass completion in this same game you said
he was average. xavi is 32....he does not have the legs
any more to go full throttle! 97% pass completion is
bossing the game.

dayokanu: And to those who believe Xavi has never had a poor game.
This is one game where he was average

And we dont need any silly OPTA stat to show what we can all see

xavi average in a game he has been taken off? xavi average because negredo
was shyte upfront? you need to bring your common sense on these pages to
discuss football. xavi was excellent throughout he was on the pitch....

spain don't play with pace....anyone expecting them to run full throttle
does not understand tiki-taka. the aim is to control the ball so they
can control the game. tiki-taka is about controlling...

i expect spain to deliver the killer blow after the 80th min.
they often quicken the pace then....

ronkebp: You are right..that is why it is good to wait before going into any relationship....i had a friend who was in a relationship with her ex since her JSS1, they kept on dating through out university and did not end up marrying themselves, apart from the relationship...she aborted like 6 different times during the course of their relationship...she is married to someone else and has not given birth yet.. so long courtship is just a waste of time.

for every story that ended this way, there are 5 that ended in marriage.

dayokanu: We dont have any obvious weakness, We just need Backups, We dont need starters.

Our starters beat 90% of teams in Europe. We just needs backups to rotate them with

maybe you should think of how not to lose to Basel in the group stages again

united still won the trophy barely 4 yrs ago....they have played in the final twice
within the last four years.....tell us what your starters have achieved in the past
10 years?

ronkebp: am with you on this one....i hate long courtship....just get married already and save us unnecessary time....some people claim to have dated their husbands for 6- 10 years before getting married..i don't know how they survived those times....God knows i would have dated 10 guys in-between....

i think the age they started dating is the key. a guy of 19 yr-old dating
a 17-yr old chic in nigeria would get married when? at 21? hell to the no...
of course, debarring any ugly issue, their relationship would last 6-10 yrs before
marriage comes into play.

armyofone: why court for long with the gal playing wifey roles? Why?

how would you tell the quality of a babe if she is not
tested in wifey roles? it's like mock exam, get on with
it. she plays wifey roles, the dude also plays husband roles.

dayokanu: Carrol, Torres etc were moving within the same league, Mandzukic was moving to Western Europe for the first time.

Carrol, Torres moving within the same league needed time to adapt, while Mandzukic moving to another league does not?

Or did mandzukic bring his former teamates along with him to Wolfsburg?

at least we know what torres has achieved....what has mandzukic achieved?
bayern have bought 6 players this summer....and 5 of them are dud players. only
xherdan shaqiri is quality. the other 5 are no-mark players.

adekennis: :oCan't believe he took just only 2k5 to fall a whole legend

this particular incident isn't the one that killed 2pac....2pac survived this ugly incident.
and rapped about it in "hit em up"....5 shots couldn't drop me, i took it n smiled.

2pac died in 96, this one happened in 94 just before the bad boy and death row feud.

armyofone: long term courtship without eating the forbidden fruit, oya now, dig into it.
long term courtship with eating what does not belong to you, gal playing wifey, live in lovers etc say you are experiementing what the marriage proper will be?
Mbanu.
long term courtship no way for me personally.

you should be worried if you meet a man who does not
want the forbidden fruit. he might be suffering
from various strains of erectile dysfunction.

why court at all if the fruit is forbidden?

dayokanu: Torres has Spent 1 and half seasons with Chelsea

Andy carrol,has Spent one and Half seasons with Liverpool

they had to adapt to playing with new team-mates, new managers, new tactics
unlike mandzukic who had completed 2 full seasons with wolfsburg.

mandzukic played in the Euro and scored 3 goals while those other strikers are still struggling to score 2.

oleg salenko played in world cup 94 scoring 6 goals in total.
he must be better than romario, baggio, bergkamp, batistuta
and klinsmann!

Show us other players stats at the Euro and compare to Super Mario Mandzukic

sneijder,dzagoev, nani, silva, xavi, iniesta, ozil, ronaldo, gerrard, arshavin,
pirlo, seb larsson, etc all have better stats....mandzukic is rated 7.15 on opta...
he's ranked 34th best player in euro 2012. larsson of sunderland is ranked 17th
and rated [b]7.34 [/b]on the same chart.

dayokanu: I am certain the shyte league called Bundesliga always have more players in Semi finals of major tournament than the EPL
In the last 2 seasons

but it's laughable that none of the german players in bundesliga
have won anything on the continent for 11 yrs.

Mario mandzukic 20 goals in 60 app 0.3 goals/app

in a weaker league and the same teammates for 2 consecutive
seasons? his stats are poor!

Fernando Torres 12 goals in 67 matches 0.17goals/app

irrelevant comparison....torres joined chelsea
last january.

Danny Welbeck 17 goals in 63 appearance 0.25goals/app

irrelevant comparison, welbeck joined man utd from
his loan spell at sunderland.

Andy carrol 11 goals in 56 appearance 0.19goal/app

irrelevant comparison, andy caroll was a newcastle
player within the last 2 seasons before joining liverpool.

Gervinho 4 goals in 37 appearance 0.1 goal/app
Theo Walcott 24 goals in 83 appearance 0.28goals/game

yet more idiotic comparisons...gervinho/walcott are wingers.
gervinho was also a newbie for arsenal...try and compare like for like for a change.

The other compared players all play in better and richer teams

they all play in a tougher league than bundesliga.

dayokanu: Just like Ashley young was shyte because Aston Villa finished 9th in the league

And Phil Jones since blackburn finished 15th out of 20

but 20 goals in 60 apps for wolfsburg as a striker in a shyte
league like bundesliga tells me mandzukic is not better than
bendtner.

dayokanu: Looks like Bayern is closing on the signature of Mario Mandzukic

he's shyte.....if he's good at wolfsburg, why did wolfsburg
finish 8th on the table?

dayokanu: Can you show us Euro 2012 stats that compare Mario Mandzukic to RvP and Benzema and lets see who is the better striker

mandzukic is the better striker....isn't it obvious?

mandzukic
3 apps, 3 goals, 1.7 shots/game, 62.1% pass completion, 2 aerial duels won/game,
0.7 key passes/game, 2 was fouled/game, was dispossessed 1.7/game, etc!
