HealthRe: A Doctor, Two Others Die Of Coronavirus Disease In Lagos by distinctguy: 6:54pm On Apr 16, 2020
DJOKAY:
The Lagos State government has confirmed the death of a medical doctor and two other coronavirus (COVID-19) patients in the state.

The Commissioner of Health in Lagos, Professor Akin Abayomi, announced this in a series of tweets on Thursday.

Why is Nigeria like this!!!
People contracted the virus and the NCDC don't disclose their identities. They die of complications from the virus and their identities are still not disclosed.

How will anyone in the society know if he has had contact with these infected people.

Now, a medical doctor has died of the virus he contracted while treating others and still NCDC can't disclose his identity for everyone to correctly pay homage to the hero that died on battle front!

Is there a machine that tells us who can get into the German Team?
That is your opinion

No one has a duty to become a billionaire and so cannot be blamed for not doing that

Thousands of footballers ply their trade and do well without being BLAMED for not becoming a great

So no one can blame Messi for not being as Great as Maradona who also found a way to win the World Cup in 1986

How can we say that the starting line up for Argentina in the 1986 Final was worse than in 2014? by what objective measure.


Maradona is greater than Messi

Maradona dribbled through the entire England opposition and even brought God to help him score another.

That is why he is great
I totally agree with you on Maradona's 1986 team not been better than Messi's 2014 and that's why I said earlier that I much respect Maradona than Pele.

But Maradona's doping spoiled his records, just as Zidane's headbutting spoiled his last world cup in which he was magical

Do you have any evidence for the drug claim?
Yes, i have evidence for my claim because FIFA started fighting doping in football in 1966!!!

You should have checked the records before countering mine.

Messi's success which is great is attributed to him .It is only fair that he should accept his failure too.

He failed at the World Cup and that is very important. He is the captain of Argentina that is a fact.
The team that wins a tournament is the best team. If Messi had been greater than he is maybe his team would have been better just like Maradona in 1986 he got the job done by any means necessary that is the difference.
If the German team were so obviously better than Germany why did they need extra time? Why did they struggle against Algeria?

That Messi is the only player that could make it into the German Team is not only exaggeration it is foolish talk. Even Messi could not make it into that team. He is not German and theat German team would not accommodate his style of play if he were
Just like he probably would struggle in the Premiership or Bundesliga
Winning is not about individuals but their blend . That is why Denmark won the European cup in 1992, Greece in 2004 and Porto the UEFA cup
Germany were not the best team because they had the best players that is absolute nonsense
If Maradona had wasteful players like Higuine as a point man in the world cup final, then Argentina won't win it too!!!

Meanwhile, I have lots of regards for what Maradona achieved in that world cup. That was dented by his drug issue anyway. Aside the drugs issue, Maradona was in a team that's also not so strong, unlike Pele who's always in a team having greats.

0monnak0da:
He would not score a thousand goals in the Nigerian league
Messi is playing in an era when the tackle from behind is banned
Maradona played when it was routine.
That is why he can run through the field and no one touches him

Knowing that defenders will not touch you or are afraid to creates a very different mindset from knowing that when they hack you down you are lucky to get a foul.
It is a very different ball game
grin grin grin

So no red cards back then!!?? I agree with the point of the game been more physical then, but refs is active in judging back then too.

Again, many players back then do use enhancing drugs which were not yet identified back then.

So different eras will always have pros and cons.

Meanwhile, watch Eclasicos during Mou era at Madrid and see rough tackles and kickings on Messi.

Maybe because you have no point.
What objective measure do you have of athleticism that is just beer parlour talk
How is Messi or Maradona Zidane or Romario more athletic than Pele and what evidence is there that greater athleticism is of any value
Black people are generally more athletic why are we not the best at football?
Messi cannot even head the ball and he is fine.
Is Messi more athletic than his peers today and how do we measure that? That is just an irrelevance
I do not know what you mean by rival

Clearly you do not know anything about football in the 60s and 70s.
There were several legends in the 60s
Eusebio
George Best
Beckenbauer
Cruyff
Garincha
And before his time another Argentine great perhaps even greater than Maradona
Did Stefano
Heavyweight boxing is another sport going downhill a good example is a 40 something year old Foreman coming from retirement to knockout an UNBEATEN MICHAEL MOORER
Fact is some people are special whichever era they live
In fact it is instructive that there is near unanimity that Pele was the greatest of his time by his peers many of whom are still alive.
Eusebio and Garincha as well as Jairzinho are glorious examples
Check out the records, Pele's teammates then we're all superb, especially in the 1970 world cup.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelé

These guys, especially the attacking five were top game winners, led by Pele. In fact, the squad was regarded as the best world cup team! And it was the ONLY OCCASION PELE WON THE BEST PLAYER OF THE COMPETITION!!!

A lot of thrash talk by those who only watch soccer on TV. Pele stands out because he was a complete player, and won three world cups, and one of these as the youngest player ever in the World cup. Yes, Mess I is a wizard on a soccer pitch but to be the all time greatest you have multiple qualities and world cup to show for it. I mean, look at Maradona during his time. He singlehandedly won the world cup for Argentina by inspiring his teammates. I can't even say Mess I is better than Maradona. Only those who saw Maradona live during his hay days would know this. Not by just watching couple of YouTube clips.
Maradona was great, but drugs made him a cheat!

Although he was excellent in the world cup, He NEVER single handedly won the world cup, infact he couldn't do much in the final and another teammate scored the winning goal.

Even Pele, go check his records, he was only the best world cup competition player once. The other 2 times he won the world cup there are BETTER players in the Brazilian squad than Pele

There is one fundamental difference between the two eras

Now You often get a red card for tackle from behind.

Then referee did not even blow his whistle.


So when a striker these days runs through an entire field and no one touches him he looks like a superstar.

The defenders are TRAINED not to touch him

THEN the defenders were trained to HACK him down like a tree
No way any player would run regularly through 6 players in those days without being cut down and then the referees did nothing

pele by far, he is the youngest man to have played in the final of world cup, the only man with 3 world cup medals. When he visited Nigeria in 1978 in the match btw Fluminense FC and Nigeria 11, that guy dribled everyone on the pitch, he took the ball from one end to the other and back without anyone been able to tackle him.

In 1967, the Nigerian Civil War had a 48-hour ceasefire to watch Pelé play an exhibition game in Lagos. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1608/is_2_22/ai_n16071178/

Maradona is great, no doubt, but man pass man, he did not win World cup 86 alone, infact in the final match, Buruchaga scored the winning goals.
Messi did not even do much in international football.
But Messi has scored 65 goals for Argentina from 2005 when he joined the senior team.

Legend Pele score 77 goals from 1957-1971 for Brazil national team!!!

We have 2 dimensions in the world of soccer.

1) National Team Dimension
2) Club Dimension

In the case of National Team, Pele was superb while Messi beats him hands down when it boils down to club level.

At least this man should accord some respect to Messi if not for anything, but for the fact that he broke a record even him (Pele) couldnt smell in his playing days.

You think sey e easy to win 3 straight WB and 5 in total?
Sentiment apart, Pele was good but I think Messi is better.

For him to have compared Messi to someone who used drugs in his playing days, I think old age is starting to affect Mr Pele.

Why Nigerians think like this..... I watched Pele documentary... It's hard for you to break into national team cos there is a lot of gladiators that's one and 2 playing world cup that time when you have teams like Italy and Germany no be beans..... Pele is respected worldwide right from the 70s 80s and till now..... Much accolades for him... This is a Messi that played against team Nigeria under 20 and yet we are being ribbed for them to lift that trophy
That documentary is a trash then!
Gladiators are in every country before you can break into the national team.

Only 16 countries compete for world cup then

Only Italy was the strong team, as winner of 2 world cups. Uruguay and Germany only had 1 cups each. World cup wasn't that a strong competition back then, just like Falcons winning women African nations cup

Football in those days was much harder than the one of present days. Most of you are just sentimental in judgement, well , everyone with his or her opinion.

Pele analysis is very correct about Messi. Come rain, come sunshine, Messi can never be compare to pele neither can Fifa declare Messi the greatest. Besides Messi has not won the world cup which pele won 3 times. In pele era, there were a lot of skillful players and football was difficult than what it is now.
But Pele won the best player just in 1970 world cup, which testifies to the fact that others were actually the real backbone of the Brazilian squad in the 2 previous world cups Pele won

SportsRe: You Can’t Compare Messi With Me, Says Pele by distinctguy: 3:04pm On Dec 06, 2018
During Pele's era, only 16 countries compete for the world cup.

Moreover, out of the 3 world cups Brazil won during Pele's era it was only in the 1970 edition that he was regarded as the best player of the competition(which was his last cup). There were other players in the Brazilian squad with better qualities than Pele and they were awarded best player of the competition ahead of Pele.

So, the old man should check his records better!

All modern day greats are better than Pele and co.

Football was much easier in Pele's days!

The old man should stop making this kind of comparison and let the fans judge.

To me, Messi is a lot better than Pele. The kind of passes, goals and assists you see fro Messi has not been seen with any other player.
Messi makes long accurate passes as if it's done with laser technologies!

Dribbling is another thing!!

And any season he plays as false nine again, then the world will record another goal scoring feat, just like what he did back then.
