Javanian: A devastated Messi
An injured Neymar
A banned Suarez

This is going to be one hell of a season

there's still over 1 month to go, neymar and messi will surely heal.

claireshan: because me I no get strength to separate fight

no be small matter.

claireshan: don't start ooo

ok, sorry. lol.

claireshan: awwwwww thank you **hugs him in a deeper life way**

hahahahahahahahaha. Like lagbaja, nothing for you! Lol.

mizjules: Yea right, so now I can love a criminal, kidnapper,BH n whatnot but hate their crime right? Smh that's not it, won't jugde them though,we only can pray for them n try to change them, because I believe that's not who they are, not not by turning blind eye to their crime or try to make them comfortable with it

criminal? Crime? Against who? Crime against you or against humanity? I know you have a boy friend or had a boy friend, did anyone hate you or call you a criminal in your days of fornication? All they do is fvck themselves not kill or steal. Our problem is that we think that those of us that criticize them the most on social media, are the ones that hate homosexuality the most. Never, I hate it more than you do trust me.

dayokanu: So does the award now add to your own salary that you have to become an overnight Senior advocate of Messi?


The award is a joke and many notable football personalities alluded to that which is why a cartoon is the best depiction

If his countrymen can even admit na you with no link to him come carry the defence put for head

Messi is the best talent of his generation but doesnt deserve the golden ball

No wonder why some people cant be objective, If we say Mikel doesnt deserve to be Nigerian captain next we start hearing its because you hate him, or does it affect your salary

Busquets, Iniesta, Neymar, Pique, or any footballer you have ever praised or criticised how has it added to your salary?
The football wey you dey talk here for many yrs how much has it added to your salary?

bros that's what I mean, the young man has won and he has won! Arguing all day won't change that, it won't add to my salary, and yours neither. So let's leave the mather for mathias. Let the boy keep his golden boy in peace, lol.

dayokanu: Can you play badly and even lose a game in the group stage yet still make the finals? YES or NO?

Can you play badly and even lose a game in knockouts stage and still make the finals? YES or NO?

Answer on postcard

iam hearing for the first time in my life that some games in the fifa world cup are small games. The best 32 teams out of 206 teams? Yeah that is why italy , spain, england, portugal, ghana, cote devoir, russia all crashed out of the group stage right? Except you wish to keep basking in denial there is no small game in the world cup! Messi played well in the knockout stages he mustnt score, he created chances for higuain, de maria, palacio. He was not sleeping in the box. Of all the candidtaes only james excelled in the knockouts but he crashed out in the quarter final. Go and ask italy, england, spain whether there are small matches in the world cup and rooney will slap you.

dayokanu: No you are wrong

You can lose a group game and still be champions like Spain in 2010. You cant lose a knockout game and win

Thats why at that stage of the tournament all the weak teams have been eliminated then the real men start showing themselves not against Iran, Bosnia and Nigeria

you're damn wrong. you can perform in your group and meet a lesser opponent in your next round. you can still make it through the knock out stages without performing. play 0-0, and win the world cup on penalties, very possible. in a world cup, every of the 6 0r 7 games is a world cup final. that's why the entire tournament is called the world cup finals.

dayokanu: Debate you pound for pound? LOL bros go siddon somewhere

How can you have an objective debate when to you Messi is infallible, even legends from his own country have said the award is a sham

na im make you de bring cartoon de post everywhere? leave all these things for ya pikin them. lol. even if i said messi deserved it, how does it hurt you so much that you keep coming back again and again to argue? leave the award thing alone, whether they give messi or not, it wont add to your salary, so relax! the dust haze will soon settle.

in a pound for pound debate, this is what you come up with? a cartoon to prove how credible your facts are! bro you need to retire from this.

A40: What is your point? Messi was not the only one that helped his team to the Round of 16! Robben did it, Neymar did it, Müller did it, James Rodriguez did it Benzema did it!


Stop talking absolute nonsense! When evaluating the best player at any tournament who makes use of Group stage performances as an important metric? What did Messi do at the group stage that stood him out from the five players I listed above?


Dude! Smoke some igbo and chill!!! Nobody hates Messi at least I don't all I'm stressing is he didn't deserve the Golden Ball. C'est fini!

i think messi just needs to retire from football. his awards and numbers and records are getting too much it's long begun to disgust people. and iam stressing that he deserves it.

i think his message is simple; hate the sin, dont hate the sinner- hate the homosexuality dont hate the homosexual.

chic2pimp: What play do I need to read mbanu?...... Maradona ran straight at the heart of belgian defence and you are telling you it was his team mates that caused the confusion and commotion? He decided to make the through pass because he knew that was the most sensible thing to do at that point.
Where did you hear me he had an average final? He had an average finals when compared to his QF and SF exploits was my statement. And he certainly did. It's not even up for debate. And btw Diego did not have a great finals but it was much better than Messis.
Whether you watched it live or watched the replay on Jupiter or Saturn is off little relevance here....
The business end is what counts the most.....

the world cup is not the epl or the spanish la liga with 38 matches in 1 year, the FIFA world cup involves a maximium of only 7 games in 4 years. every game is a business end.

-in 2014 messi scored 4 goals, his team mates scored 3 goals;

chic2pimp: No be only you sabi watch clip. Mesef don watch am. You really do need to watch it again. Maradona needed no wingers to act as decoys as he waltzed through the belgian and English defence. That was all him.

His performances up that point were astounding. Although he had an average finals compared to his 2 goals heroics in the QF and SF games, He still proved decisive.

bros leave maradona, we agree maradona is better than messi, talk ronaldo.

-in 1970 pele scored 4 goals, his team mates scored 16 goals.
- in 1986 maradona scored 5 goals , his team mates scored 9 goals.
-in 2014 messi scored 4 goals, his team mates scored 3 goals;

and what? they are bashing messi. iam so lol.

logica: Right. If he didn't score those goals, sebi Argentina would've miraculously appeared in the Round of 16 not so? And the way you are even implying that Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria are no competition shows how you are not keeping with the times. We all saw how Costa Rica got Italy and England out. So maybe Messi's goals against Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria should've been awarded as half goals? Or what do you think?

And then to point out how ridiculous your point is: Maradona only scored one goal in the Group Stage in 1986. Using your logic, his contribution to Argentina qualifying from the Group Stage was minimal.

in order words, if it wasnt for others, argentina would have crashed out of the groups. lol. i love you boy, no homo though, lol.

messi is being compare with maradona, with pele, with cristiano ronaldo, all in just one swing. only one messi! only one messi! only one messi!

chic2pimp: Whilst also forgetting to post Maradona's stats come the business end of the competition

Let me post those stats for all to see

QF - 2 GOALS
SF - 2 GOALS
FINALS - CREATED THE WINNING GOAL!!!

i dont care if maradona is better than him, being second to maradona is definitely a life time achievement for messi. if you like call it business end, if you like call it political end; messi's CV just got richer over the last one month; 1 golden ball, 1 world cup silver medal, 5 world cup goals, in addition to his club statistics which is the best in the history of club football, messi is history!

A40: So that is 3 games! How about the other 4? bearing in mind the latter 4 were the toughest of all of Argentina's defenders

My mistake I meant 1 goal but he did contribute 2 direct assists.

Messi in 4 games. 0 goals 1 assist. Big difference


Anybody can score a hat-trick against a 10 man Portugal? You should know better than to downgrade any ten man team never mind Portugal. You failed to beat one in your own doormot

Rodriguez did more than enough to topple Messi! I'm sure you saw the FIFA XI list? No Messi that should tell you something


Man of the match against Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria. Big deal

The whole team was built round Messi to propel him to greatness with a World cup win but sadly it failed. Maybe a more team-oriented approach could have worked better

messi in 4 games 0 goal 1 assist yes; messi in 7 games- 4 goals, 1 assist, 1 golden ball, 1 silver medal. REALITY! that is what we will see in wikipedia for years to come, every other thing is vanity.

dayokanu: The silver is a mere consolation. Messi didn't go to the world cup for a silver medal

so if you send your son to school and he gets 2nd position out of 32. of course you expected 1st position. so you wont congratulate him? so you will criticize him? messi hating will kill you. he has a world cup silver medal, a world cup golden ball, and 4 ballon dors. you will never see a better player in your life time.

in 1986, Maradona had 5 goals one of them was a handball. Valdano scored 4 goals. Burruchaga scored 2 goals, Brown, Pasculli, and Ruggieri each scored 1 goal. in 2014, messi scored 4 goals, de maria 1, higuain 1. dont believe the hype; see how much help maradona had, and they want to kill messi! all these closet ronaldo fans.


LET ME POST IT AGAIN, THEY ARE PRETEND NOT TO SEE IT.

dayokanu: When Tevez played with Messi in 2010 what wad the result?

who is talking about 2010. forget 2010, messi is a world cup silver medalist.

in 1986, Maradona had 5 goals one of them was a handball. Valdano scored 4 goals. Burruchaga scored 2 goals, Brown, Pasculli, and Ruggieri each scored 1 goal. in 2014, messi scored 4 goals, de maria 1, higuain 1. dont believe the hype; see how much help maradona had, and they want to kill messi! all these closet ronaldo fans.

wait a minute, where is ronaldo? i havent heard his name in a long while.

chic2pimp: No thanks! ...... I'd rather take Maradona's and Kempes's words

you can keep their words while we keep a silver medal and a golden boot. we're all even arent we? of course we are.
