odeexpress: I have seen several men made concerted efforts to impress their women before they marry. But after the wedding, I have observed that most men reduce their efforts and commitment. Is it normal? What could be responsible?

dayokanu: Jodi Alba better than Coentrao must be a theme for a Tyler Perry comedy.

mbulela: that was a typo,right?

Portugal are set up to counter attack and they have the weapon to execute it. We can see how deadly those counters were everytime they have deployed it.
Even in the Madrid vs Barca ties, Ronaldo is used to play with less of the ball and a Ronaldo vs Arbeloa duel should be interesting

ritchboy: Abeg, Carrick wouldn't have done anything in a two-man midfield with Parker when the Italians have one or two spare men. Exhibit A: See how Song-Arteta-Rosicky pissed all over Modric-Parker last season. Exhibit B: 2011 UCL Final Carrick-Giggs.

Unfortunately for England, their two best CMs(Scholes/Wilshere) are retired/injured. What was Hodgson thinking playing that formation?

dayokanu: Portugals defence is better than Spains. Pepe and Coentrao are one of the best in their positions and Bruno Alves isnt ad either.

Center forward? Spain too has no Center forward.

omosexy1: Some peeps would probably wonder why I decide to dissect the poster's information. Well, I have noticed that over time some stories being posted are made-up (false) stories, either to get the sympathy of fellow nairalanders or to put the male folks in bad light. I recently read a story about a man who got his 20 years old housemaid pregnant and blamed it on his banker's wife for lack of attention. Part of the story was that there is a policy in the wife's bank for ladies not to be pregnant for the first 11 months so that they can be confirmed. I can confidently state that there is no policy as such in the banking industry. I don't know why these posters make up these stories and what their objectives are.

armyofone: what is the essence of long term/time courtship? what's the need?

armyofone: haha, weird one

Odunnu: does it even come easy? I know folks who have been in the job market for donkey years in search of jobs

armyofone: i don't like long courtship and i think it does not really matter. for me, i get bored easily.
after 2 years with a guy and he hasn't proposed, something isn't right.

dayokanu: France is very different from Portugal

Spain vs Portugal would be much different

Portugal has a better defence than France and better offence. Before the quarters France have been very average, looked clueless vs England vs Sweden before Spain put them out of their misery.

Portugal normally is set up for Counter attacking and it comes Naturally to them

Their last meeting

davidylan: how much does her husband send to her? At least i believe its best she maintains her own job and brings home something too. If she took your advice it wont solve her problem... she will be here with another post about how her husband gives her nothing and she regrets quitting her job.

davidylan: I believe hourly pay is for low-income folks. High paying jobs here in the US are usually fixed salaries so i dont see a problem with fixed salary jobs in Naija. I recently turned down a very nice job because they were going to pay me by the hour... insult of the highest order.

davidylan: and her salary would be what? Just enough to pay for her transport fare?

davidylan: Coogar, the OP lives in Lagos not London. Its hard to imagine what job she will get that will allow her to be home at 5pm.

Simplechic: Hubby called back and said I should go and give the girl the phone again. It was @ that point I snapped and said I wasn't going to go out there again. I told him the only thing I was going to do was take a shower and sleep. Meanwhile, all these while, it was raining and it was 12am.

Since that day to date, we've not spoken. I've called him severally, sent him chats yet no response. I really dont know what to make of this.

michelin89: Please married folks, help me. Do I stop analysing people or do I continue, but play blind, deaf and dumb to those flaws that normally would make me send the person packing out of my life?

I believe with the right person, I can have the best relationship and marriage ever, but all the things I take for granted, are those things people seems to fail in most times. Wetin man pikin go do now?

awoloto: i am married with four children, and to a man who clearly does not love me or care about me. i am 38, but dont wont to leave the marriage because of the affect it will have on my four children , the oldest being ten years old.
the marriage has broken down completely and i am living in depression, and hopelessness. i am very unhappy. he knows this but it doesnt bother him. he wants to remain married to me,i am constantly in tears over his attitude and uncaring nature towards me.
what do i do , pls advise me. i wanted to be loved , but i know it will never be by him. That is a closed chapter.
Do i stay in the marriage and date another, or do i continue to suffer. we have not had intercourse for over five years. is this life?
i have just moved to lagos and have only a few friends.i really advice.
please give me your views on this.

AjanleKoko: Carrick wasn't exactly dropped. He ruled himself out.
I seriously doubt he'd have made much difference to this side. They might have done better if they had managed to persuade Arteta to take up English nationality

chic2pimp: They weren't wanking all over his penalty rather his overall performance.
He was the Epitome of Dominance tonight.
They were also left wondering of what might have been had they taken Michael Carrick along.

chic2pimp: Missing Link for England tonight, MICHAEL CARRICK

Looking at Xavi's dominating performance last night,Pirlo's tonight and Bastian to some extent vs Greece, it was fairly obvious to the Naked Eye what the Missing Link was

AjanleKoko: Maybe the English were not watching that game?

AjanleKoko: Na wa oh.
The English press have taken to wanking all over Pirlo. Not surprising that they have never seen that type of penalty before.
Guilherme Siquera of Granada played exactly the same type of panaka against Barca's Victor Valdes in March. If he did that in England, Man City and Chelsea would have been battling for his signature, at 40 million pounds. However, he plays in Spain (and is still stuck in Granada ) unfortunately.

dayokanu: I am actually tipping Portugal to upset Spain

Portugal to play on counter and Unleash Ronaldo and Nani on Spain.

They should tell Ronaldo that a win would guarantee him WPOTY.

Italy vs Germany 50-50. With Italians having a verrry good record vs Germany

dayokanu: Clearly the best 4 teams are through. All four out of the both two groups of death. Well deserved.

The tourney starts NOW

The english should look at the bright side here....Rooney scored a goal in an international tournament.

AjanleKoko: One of the best players of the night . . . eh?

AjanleKoko: Ashley Young is just useless in this England team. After scoring 4 goals in the buildup. Na wa.

ayusco: @coogar xavi is a living legend no doubt but as being much better IMO that's neither here nor there. I'll rather say both their styles differ but great in their own individual ways. Xavi is a pass master while zidane's pure skill n genius ala maradona made up for his weaker(note I'm not saying it was not good) passing ability. If u insist on your stance would u say xavi is better than maradona himself in pure midfield terms?

davidylan: huh? He refused to acknowledge the presence of his wife for 30 whole minutes and it turns out a woman was in his office all that time? Seriously and the problem is all in the OPs head?
If you came to see your wife and she ignored you outside her office for 30 mins to attend to another man you would merely shrug it off?

No matter your job, your spouse's needs MUST always come first.
