Miroslav klose: if i had posted this, i would have been called all sorts of names.
SMH


meanwhile, im warming up to come in during the second half.

Today is my 34th birthday and i must score for Germany to have a perfect birthday gift.

dayokanu: Mukina laughing is an evidence? How unsmart

nateevs: On the contrary, you are the one isolating games.
Arsenal have finished at least fourth over the past 7 seasons. That's a testament to walking over these resilient teams more times than not. These scenarios you mention are isolated.

Inter, Chelsea, are "the isolated events". Mention 2, 3, 5, teams in recent memory who have won the CL not playing good football?

dayokanu: Shouldnt the Gomez goal cancelled been an advantage played?

dayokanu: Tell us one single chance Gomez missed in the final that is worse than a penalty

dayokanu: A penalty is a chance you get vs the keeper alone no one rushing you

For example in that final, which chance did Gomez miss that he was free with only the keeper and no defender rushing him

nateevs: Dude it's all about the setup. Suckers for English football don't see football any other way.
The obsession with winning 50-50s, midfield battles, defending deep, makes you think football is science.

Do Iniesta, Xavi, Busquets, Sergio, Alcantara look like midfielders who "can win midfield battles" ?
But they win battles except in a way unfamiliar to many. They win the midfield battle "attacking".

Hell Atletic Bilbao won the midfield battles over two legs against United.
Valencia destroyed supposedly one of the most resilient teams in the PL - Stoke.
These guys are not built like tanks, yet they run English teams to the ground in midfield.

Football is an art and there are more than one way to reach your goal.
While many believe that sliding tackles and power play is the way to win midfield battles, there are others who believe possession and zonal pressing, even with seemingly little and weak footballers, is the way to win it.

dayokanu: Dont these same dead ball takers like Rooney, Vab persie , Ronaldo take penalties? And who does penalty stats favour?

sleekdot: Bring any stat you have out. and lets see. Gomez doesnt take any setpiece. he isnt even the choice penalty taker So what other strikers gain from Penalties he loses. yet he outscores them all.

The number of goals scored per shot bring it out. I brought one out and was banned by the spambot fot it
Mukina, Dayokanu was banned pls release me

ritchboy: Can you define "skilful"? In any definition Figo is at the "top tier". Forget e-diotic step-overs/flicks, Figo's natural tekkers shyte on Ronaldo/Nani every day of the week. AS IN LUIS FIGO!?!?!?

dayokanu: Show us all European strikers goal per shots taken And you would notice that Gomez is top 5

Possibly higher than Van persie

dayokanu: Were you not telling us that Gomez scores a lot because he gets super deliveries from Robben? I just dey look you then.

Shey you don see how Robben "assists" his striker?
Now that would make ppl appreciate Gomez more. You would know how frustrating it is playing with Robben.

The Robben cut in and shoot doesnt even seem to work anymore

chic2pimp: They could keep playing from today til tommorrow and the Dutch would still not score.

They've been absolutely dreadful in front of goal.

My Grandma(God Rest her soul) woulda copped a brace by now.

dayokanu: How many goals Van Puccii score for his CL career? Na to score against those hopeless EPL teams he sabi

ritchboy: Rubbish. Let's even assume this is true, the mandate of an AM is not to "hold position". While Cesc will be busy supplying assists and making good runs into the area to score goals, Xavi would be too preoccupied "holding position", maybe he is too disciplined!

ritchboy: Ibime is the only nucca making brain here. . .

I see Nateevs is still living in la la land thinking signing Hazard/Hulk/Marin means Chelsea "will never need to defend as deep as we did" forgetting teams with better offensive units(i.e Man City) still come to the Emirates and camp in their 6-yard box. Abi how will Hulk and Hazard help you win midfield battle against Song-Arteta-Wilshere

Coogar also thinks Rivaldo, Kaka and Figo aren't skilful

ritchboy: Bontee is just saying what I've been telling Coogar and co for the last four years:

CM: Xavi > Cesc
AM: Cesc > Xavi

If Spain are going to be playing with two holding midfielders(Xabi/Sergio), Cesc(or even Silva/Iniesta) is clearly a better option behind the CF but Xavi will obviously "pull rank" on them. The end result is lots of possession with little cutting edge which Cesc and co woulda revved up.

Ideally Xavi should play alongside one of Busquets/Alonso cos he's still the best at what he does in that area of the park.

IZUKWU: I had a funny experience yesterday. Never experienced such before. I want to give the details and i want you to criticize me and tell me where i went wrong or could have done better. I was with my gf in her friends house and some people were calling her to come and see them,in her house ,i was suspicious and i carried her there and it was her ex bf. According to her he started cheating on her after he bought a car and she cut the r/ship ,this was about 7 months ago,before i came into the scene. The guy has been wanting to come back but the girl refused . So today he came with a friend . Though we didn't met the friend when we came. My girl pleaded that i should give her time to talk with her ex. I gave her thirty minutes and they went out and stayed almost 4hrs and when they came back to her house around 12 a.m. The guy refuse to goto his house that their gate would have been locked by then. And refused that the girl will follow me home.the person my girl is staying with ,only her boy of about thirteen year is around and is a heavy sleeper and didn't wake to open the door for her. So we have to keep a wake keep at their passage till around 2 a.m when i left to goto my house and sleep so that i can goto work today. My girl has told the guy that she is now with me.the guy said that that should be from tomorrow that this night he will not respect that. I have gone over the incidents in my head trying to see how i could have done better. May be i should have asserted myself more. If i had known initially before leaving her friends house that it was to see her ex, i would not have allowed her . But the deed is done . Has any experienced such before and how did you handle it. My r/ship with the girl is about 3 months old and all three of us are in our late twenties. Will they do anything behind my back . According to my girl he wanted her to follow him home but she refused.what would you have done in my shoes ?

ronkebp: NAAA dance be this abi na wetin

ronkebp: This thread is funny.............

Personally; i won't even see the cheating at that time oooo, all i will be thinking about is thanking God that my hubby is alive,then after a month of christmas, Wahala will start in full flesh.....by the time i am done with him....hmmmmm!!!!,i will display kolo-menatlity for him...,,D

if he thinks i will sit down and be watching T.V after i have caught him with a woman, then he has something else coming...... .

taryour: Read this from somewhere,would av put d source but i cant get to do it.

A wife dropped her husband off at the airport thinking he was goin to lagos as he told her. Unknown to her,her hubby had turned back after she bidded him farewell,he went to his mistress house to spend the night. The wife and lovedones on hearing the ill fated dana plane crash that ad no survivours cried so bitterly over the loss of her husband. While mourning and planning on how to get to lagos to identify her husbands corpse, her husband came home and confessed and also gave a testimony for his saved life.


As a woman wot would u do?

If it were me oo,i will give a testimony o to God for sparing my hubby,i would be so happy so much that i would forget to be angry to fight him for cheating on me. But then after it as all died down,we would talk to ensure such never happens again.

chic2pimp: First of all Rivaldo.
Forget Ronaldo's step over that may or may not come off i've seen Rivaldo produce moments of Individual skill as much as Ronaldo if not more.
Fanciful tricks self him get aplenty

Now unto Kaka, while he may not have the fanciful leg over skills of Ronaldo, to say he is not skilful is absurd.
The same Kaka that has performed the roulette several times. The same Kaka that waltzes his way past players.
Kaka get skill oo

Abeg Let Drogba compete with his mates. The Likes of Gomez and Andy Carroll.

chic2pimp: Those three were skilful abeg.

dayokanu: Watch how Newcastle would come and buy Diouf in 2 yrs time to be the new Demba ba or papiss Cisse

nateevs: I withdraw that statement as Cannavaro works against that assertion.


That said, I sincerely hope that you are not suggesting that those other players were not insanely skillful.
Heck you even had Rivaldo, Kaka in there.

nateevs: Hence the word "most".
There's never been a WPOTY who is just "effective". .

chic2pimp: I wonder why so many people think that skillful, technical and flashy WILL EQUAL not effective.
I really do not know where it comes from.

The most effective footballers in world football are/were, apparently, the most skillful in their respective eras.


Exactly..... Beats me too.

Spot on regarding your second statement. The Most effective players are more often than not the most skilled.

Ibime: Ashley Young is your 4th striker, especially with Kagawa around to take an extra place in midfield or on the wings.

BTW, what are you guys planning to do with Mame Biram Diouf. I hope you know he tore the Bundesliga apart scoring virtually every game there just by utilising his sheer physicality and speed even if his touch is still messed up (much like Pappis Cisse). Im sure there are German teams willing to pay upward of £7m for the kid.
