Some people swore that there was no way Buhari did not contract the virus after Kyari. I haven't heard a word from those people. Imoh555:You have started again! You swore that Buhari had the virus. Now you're swearing that Kyari died 2 weeks ago. Pls respect your age and stop peddling silly and unconfirmed rumours. You're too old for this. |
Analysing & Picking a Winner Between Lionel Messi & Diego Maradona's Identical Wonder Goals Unless you've forgotten your Twitter password, you'll have seen that a 19-year-old Lionel Messi produced one of the game's greatest ever goals on this day 13 years ago. Receiving the ball in his own half, the Barcelona star wriggled clear of a couple of challenges, powered through the midfield, danced clear of the defence, before rounding the goalkeeper and slotting the ball into an empty net. It was a goal which sent shockwaves throughout the world of football. Messi demonstrated breathtaking skill and technique in that Copa del Rey semi-final against Getafe, the likes of which had never been seen before. In the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals, the 19-year-old future goat Leo #Messi takes the ball in Barça's half and blows past Getafe to score one of the most astounding goals ever witnessed. �� In fact, we witnessed such glory in almost identical fashion just over 20 years prior to that mazy run. In 1986, Diego Maradona, the original Argentinian legend, produced a goal which is widely regarded as the greatest goal in football history, bamboozling the entire England national side, and knocking them out of the World Cup in the process. It was a strike which brought admiration and compliments from even Maradona's biggest critics - with the probable exception of Peter Shilton. There's no denying that both goals are eerily similar, starting and finishing in the same manner, with equal levels of quality and unteachable talent. But which goal was better? 90min investigates. Receiving the Ball Both goals begin with the player collecting a pass near the halfway line, slightly to the right of the pitch (although Messi obviously collects the pass further out wide). But who impressed the most in the early stages of the strike? Maradona - The Argentina star receives the ball with his back to goal, to the right of the centre circle in his own half, and is immediately surrounded by two England players. Maradona evades the first tackle, then glides beyond the second challenge with a pirouette, which leaves him facing towards the England goal, thus beginning his sensational journey. Messi - The forward picks up the ball whilst hugging the right touchline inside Barcelona 's half, and is closed down quickly by a Getafe midfielder. The 19-year-old skips the first tackle, and rolls the ball through the legs of the second opponent arriving from his left in humiliating fashion. Winner: Both players showed incredible levels of skill and quick-thinking to dodge their two markers, but Maradona edges it on this one, purely because of his disadvantageous starting position and the ingenuity demonstrated to skip away from two international stars. The Dribble After passing their first tests, the pair then travelled half of the pitch with the ball at their feet, skipping beyond tackle upon tackle from their panicking opponents. But who dazzled the most with their pace and power? Maradona - Ghosting over the halfway line, Maradona carries the ball, steps inside a lazy leg, goes around the outside of an onrushing centre-back and reaches the penalty area unscathed. It's a majestic assault on the England defence but you're begging the Three Lions to just stick a leg out or run a little bit faster to catch him. Messi - Having managed to somehow free himself of two opponents on the right flank, Messi sprints infield and drives at the heart of the Getafe defence. The Barça man, simultaneously faced by two centre-backs, cuts inside of his first victim, before quickly chopping the ball between the two defenders' sliding tackles, with lightning reflexes and agility. All while running at full tilt. Winner: While no one can deny that Maradona's run was special, there's no ducking the fact that Messi was faced by a much more compact backline, and he was forced to produce a more cunning piece of footwork to jink through towards goal. The Finish You stroll past an entire team, but the job isn't done just yet - you've got to bury it. Miss, and all that work will be forgotten (or you'll end up on a compilation video of 'nearly amazing goals' which no one will bother watching). Who had the better finish, then? Maradona - After working his way into the area, Maradona had to beat one of the greatest goalkeepers in football history. The Napoli star sits Shilton down, took the ball to his right, and despite being under huge pressure from behind, strokes the ball into the net with ease. A classy end to a piece of art. Messi - With a pile of Getafe defenders trailing in Messi's wake, the forward is left facing the shot-stopper, whose knees could be heard audibly knocking in fear. The wonderkid also takes the ball to the keeper's right, going slightly wide and narrowing the angle for himself. Not to panic though, he'll go on to become the best player in modern day football, so naturally he stretches out a right boot and turns the ball home. Winner: Argh, this is tough. Messi did brilliantly to tuck away his effort on his weaker foot, but for the pure poise and control shown in front of goal, Maradona just about pips it, also considering the pressure he is under and his ability to make such a difficult movement look so easy and graceful. Exterior Factors There are a few exterior factors that must be considered when we look back at the two goals. As mentioned before, both strikes came at crucial times, with Messi scoring in a domestic cup semi-final first leg, and Maradona scoring on the international stage at a World Cup. Clearly, scoring a winning goal in a World Cup quarter-final - a competition which your nation would then go on to win - means that Maradona shades the 'importance of occasion' category. But Messi has youth on his side. His moment of brilliance is unthinkably good, but to be scored by a 19-year-old kid? Unfathomable. Ultimately, a decision has to be made. Overall Winner Given the significance of the strike, and the fact that it was produced on football's biggest stage against an impressive quality of opposition, Maradona claims the prize for scoring the greatest identical goal in history! Commiserations Lionel, it would have been nice to hand you the award on your strike's birthday, but it wasn't to be. And let's face it, both goals were just amazing. Let's thank the heavens that we were blessed enough to witness such magic - twice. |
And you think the Government of Lagos would shut down it's economy and be losing hundreds of billions in order to get 10 Billion from the FG? |
Chosen1984:And this one sounds like he's got more than the wisdom of Solomon! You're nothing but a bigot. |
farady:Honestly I think that Wike is always paranoid. Every move that the FG makes that he seems not to like, he feels that it's Amaechi orchestrating it. Lol. Like you said even if he doesn't agree with the procedure of the FG, what stops him from making his own safety arrangements? If not anything for the safety of the indigenes. Instead of shouting and looking for a fight all over the place. |
Kinematics:This one na question, ![]() Tell a man that you pray for him that his salary be withheld for 6 months and paid in bulk after 6 months. Na better slap him go give you. |
temptnow:By the time they withhold Rivers allocation for 2 years, you will know who will lose. |
rexlims: ![]() Words of wisdom. In other words fight with sense! Lol. |
Openbusiness:This is not about what Buhari says. This is not about what Pastor Chris says. It is about what you say. It is about using your own head to analyze the situation |
stephleena:I bet this one will weep when Diezanni dies. Rubbish. |
bigiyaro:"So far" is not the phrase these people are wailing about. "Biggest casualty" is the clause they are wailing about. |
WORDWORLD:2015 was the year Nigeria became greatly polarised. As soon as Mega announced the winner, Nigeria became divided. |
Nigerians and their tortoise mentality. Gej was so good yet a lot of graduates died after 100,000 of them went struggling for 100 slots of immigration jobs. Jonathan was a messiah yet 80 percent of Nigerians were living below the poverty line. Nigerians are now blaming Buhari alone for their sufferings for the last 30 years! |
Galaticos444:Yes bigger in power, money, popularity and influence. He's the biggest casualty of covid 19 so far. 100 percent correct. Hunger has made too many people angry in this clime. |
FFK eyeing soft landing. ![]() |
But I don't understand; Once a senator, always a senator. Once a wailer always a wailer. Why would anybody want to conceal the death of Abba Kyari a mere chief of staff? To clone him? |
This silly man never misses any opportunity to mention Cambridge. To Fani Kayode; All of his friends in Buhari's government are good people; But all those in Buhari's government who are not his friends are bad people. What manner of hypocrisy is this? |
eyinjuege:Quite understood. But really the whole essence of the forum is to state what you believe and try to propagate it to others. The problem is with knowing when and where to draw the line. At the end of the day no one should force their opinion on another. Personally I know better than mocking a deceased man of 80 years old because I find him guilty of the same very things that 90 percent of Nigerians do around them, in their communities on in a daily basis; albeit on a smaller scale. I couldn't mock a man who lived up to 80, when I don't even know if I'd make it to 80. Perhaps a very few exceptions in very gross cases of tyranny of "Idiaminic" and "Hitleric" proportions. Even Abacha was not tyrannical to the extent of gloating over his death. Still my opinion though. |
eyinjuege:Read Again. I am not telling anybody how to feel I said I don't think it's right. I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I "I" is the key word. Meaning it's my own opinion. |
Lol ![]() Those who embezzle little amounts of money from their work places rejoice over a politician's death. Those who conduct job interviews and rig them for an unqualified candidate rejoice over a politician's death. Those students who do exam malpractice or are willing to do cheat in exams if they have the chance to; rejoice over a politician's death. Those who carried expo for jamb rejoice over a politician's death. Fornicators and adulterers rejoice over a politician's death. Those who commit abortions rejoice over a politician's death. Those who sleep around and are unmarried rejoice over a politician's death. Pastors who pilfer and mismanage church offerings and tithes rejoice over a politician's death. Cultists rejoice over a politician's death. Those who kill others over religion rejoice over a politician's death. Rapists rejoice over a politician's death. Political thugs of another party rejoice over a politician's death. Thieves and armed robbers rejoice over a politician's death. Kidnappers rejoice over a politician's death. The joke is on all of us. |
Nnemuka:You rejoice because he was Hausa/Fulani and not be because he was a "thief" Liar. |
janettee:Of course he didn't die because our hospitals were shitty. After all thousands are dying in countires with the best facilities like USA, and Europe. And he must have been treated with the best facilities in Lagos. And I also very much agree that nobody should be forced to "mourn" a dead politician. But also I do not think it's right to "gloat" and "curse" over a dead politician. |
Nnemuka:Taaaah! You are not rejoicing because a thief died. You are rejoicing because a Hausa man who was close to Buhari died. If one of those thieving politicians in Ibo land whose loot has in one way or another benefited your own family dies, Will you rejoice? Abeg here out with your hypocrisy. Stop being silly, do not rejoice at someone's death. |
Honestly you can hate anyone you want and insult tham as you can; you might even wish dead on your oppressor; but actually rejoicing over somebody's death is the most stupid thing to do. It's just like rejoicing at someone's sickness when you also human or rejoicing at someone's accident when you also travel. When it can fuccking happen to anybody at any fuccking time! Abi is it that everybody has got one life to live while you have 9 lives to live? |
|
Flyingngel:Protecting his people by giving them one Indomie and one cup of garri as palliative despite billions in allocation. And then using the police and judiciary to break the law. Continue being a political slave. |
Simologistics3: festacman: AFvckingAlpha:Festacman See people who are condemning Bello.! See their languages!! |
festacman:I just read a tweet a minute ago from Davido. Davido just told someone "suck my d11ck" Wonder if it was Bello who said this. All this noise about what Bello said is about politics and ethnicity. People say such every time. |
