The images of millions of mourners, some crossing borders and others gathering at the shrines of Imam Ali and Imam Hussein, sent a message that Iran’s religious and political networks remain intact despite the war assassination of its supreme leader.
This is the kind of immortal power that Trump craved but will never will get.

Meanwhile, Netanyahu is 'alive' yet his biological children abandoned Occupied Palestine and his name because it is associated with genocide and war crime.

Immortal power of a terrorist? Nah!! Trump has better things to do with his time.

The coming days are going to be really bad for terrorists and their sympathizers.

MatrixReloaded:
Spain 30%
Morocco 25%
France 20%
Switzerland 15%
Norway 10%
England 5%
Argentina 20%

Morocco has a much lower chance than that. Yes, they are tough, but they do not have the technical quality to defeat giants like France or Spain.

I would also say that Spain is not as lethal in attack as France, so I do not see them getting past France.

France: 30%
Spain: 20%
Argentina: 15%
England: 10%
Belgium: 9%
Morocco: 7%
Norway: 5%
Switzerland: 4%

What's yours?

I am not a Ronaldo fan neither am I a Messi fan. I don't worship humans the way you guys do. But I must always point out the error or bias officiating from that useless referee last night . Peace

I don’t worship any man.

Get your facts right. Unfair circumstances benefit almost every football team at different times, and they can also go against them. Croatia had two goals disallowed against Portugal, but none of you pointed that out, including you.

Don’t pretend to be neutral here, because you are definitely not.

Last WC was 2022... there were 5 European teams 2 south American ( Argentina and Brazil) as usual and Morocco...the rest were Europe... in 2018... same thing ... only Uruguay, Colombia and brazil were the only teams that weren't Europe that got to quarters...the rest were Europe....

Europe has more country than South America, so, do the math.

tonididdy:
If Argentina get past this Switzerland I'll deactive my NL account!

We shall see.

cr7lomo:
Ronaldo was right afterall....6 teams from Europe in quarters... just like the last WC ... winning Euros is like winning WC

Lie!

It was Uruguay that defeated Portugal in the 2018 world cup. Find another excuse.

Let me also add this: the Euros that Portugal won, they won the final without Ronaldo on the pitch.

This is good for Argentina.

Wotowotoman:
See Infantino shapeless head wey be like Kasarani stadium

The pain is real!

It's politics, bro.

Africans have consistently produced some of the world's greatest athletes, especially in sports that demand exceptional physical ability.

Just look at France, a European team with many players of African descent.

The problem is that Africa (especially black Africans) has an inherent problem deeply rooted in our core (Well, it's my opinion).

Ronaldo fans are funny people.

Just imagine if the Croatia goals that were disallowed against Portugal had been disallowed against Argentina instead. It would have been absolute chaos, with many Ronaldo fans calling for the referee's head and blaming FIFA.

Croatia is now calling for the controversial disallowed goal an abuse of technology (Link: https://www.goal.com/en-us/lists/croatia-fifa-abuse-technology-controversial-world-cup-exit-portugal/blta3fc118716982ea6).

OBIDIENTNAIJA:
All Messi fans should hide their faces in shame for supporting a fraud. Do you think Argentina won't get another penalty if that foul on Mo Salah was to be against Egypt. Messi will retire with only one spoonfed world cup trophy. Nonsense. Always robbing Africa. Rubbish 😡😡😡

If you think the last world cup was "spoonfed", then you don't understand football.

In that final, France got 2 Penalties. If it was a Fifa mastermind, that wouldn't have happened.

No matter how you look at it, it's desperately ridiculous to be a Ronaldo fan!

IamPlato:
listen you yourself and see how stvpid you sound.

Messi has more assist and so? What the fvck has that got to do with Portugal team being completely stupid on the pitch.

So many opportunities to send the ball to Ronaldo and get a goal but they chose back passes, who the Bleep does that?

You are one of the irrational, illogical people we're talking about.

Your delusion is your own doing. Don't vent your frustration on me, man!

realG101:
The only flaw Ronaldo has is that he expresses his mind regardless of what people will say.

But if you try to lessen his greatness because of world cup records, you are only making noise.

Uefa champions league is more difficult to win than the world cup. Ronaldo proved himself in that sphere consistently.

You cannot take away from his quality. Never.

Quote me anywhere.

The prestige that world cup has is that it comes once in four years.

If the world cup was also a yearly event, maybe he would have won it too.

More so, Portugal is an underdog team. They're ordinarily not heir to world cup trophy.

So be calming down

This is a flawed analysis!

Ronaldo won most of these champions league trophies with his teammates being very significant in the outcome. When he left Real Madrid, they still won the trophy without him (that should tell you something).

Barcelona has never recovered from Messi exit.

Portugal won the Euros 2016 final without Ronaldo, and I really don't think that Argentina could have won the world cup final against France without Messi.

See, the difference between Messi and Ronaldo is very clear to rational minds, even many Ronaldo fans admit this.

The problem is him (Ronaldo) elevating himself beyond his capabilities. Messi is clearly not in his level!

Just imagine if the Croatia goals that were disallowed against Portugal had been disallowed against Argentina instead. It would have been absolute chaos, with many Ronaldo fans calling for the referee's head and blaming FIFA.

The reality is that some fans let emotion, charisma, and image shape their opinions more than what actually happens on the pitch.

Ronaldo is a fantastic player and one of the greats. But when it comes to overall footballing ability, influence on the game, creativity, and involvement in build-up play, Messi is on a different level.

uunwanaobong3:
This is how different teams played with their star players.
Enemies of progress in Portugal (Fernandez, lao, vitinha etc) wouldn't allow CR7 to succeed

Correct betting outcome; both teams to score ()

Play this and thank me later

This is not true at all.

Ronaldo has zero assists, while Messi has at least one.

Messi has always had more assists and has been far more involved in the build-up to goals for both club and country than Ronaldo.

I 2nd this statement...we gotta show more luv amongt us!! We all we got

God bless you my brother.

I admire the love and passion Nigerians are showing toward our brothers in Congo. I hope we can show the same love within Nigeria by breaking down tribal barriers.

Islam is a religion designed by the devil!

Wise men know this fact.

Maybe a Nigerian man did her something bad and she's on revenge mode.

femi4:
Not true

He provided assist for Alvarez which he could not convert....later Messi made it 2-0

Don't mind that person.

It's difficult to reason with hate.

Fiscus105:
Those that are claiming Ronaldo is greatest are doing it purely for mischievous, they are bitter people who always bitter when they see good things.

Even off field character, Messi is someone who suppose to be mentor.

Just imagine a player who is also a legend in a football club, went back to Man United to play at twilight of his career, only for him to use his inflated ego to destroy every legacy he had recorded in such magnificent club.

I feel sorry for whoever make Ronaldo is mentor.

Exactly!

It is a shame that this generation compares this guy to Ronaldo.

No rational person can watch both of them play, see how they control games and score goals, and conclude that Ronaldo is even close to Messi, let alone better than him.

To every rational football mind, Messi is the undisputed greatest player of all time.

dominique:
Messi just missed out on a chance to be the highest world cup goal scorer with that penalty miss. Dem go still arrange another one for him

How was that an arranged penalty?

Well, he did not need a penalty. He just scored an outside-the-box goal, like he always does.

This is lame!

It is unfair to the other Portugal players when Ronaldo claims all the glory for something they collectively worked for, especially considering that Portugal won the Euro 2016 final match against France without him.

No single player can win a match alone. Success always comes through collective effort. Messi seems to understand this and remains humble, while Ronaldo often behaves like a child and makes everything about himself. That may be why he has had issues with some of his teammates.

Besides, Messi is clearly a superior player to Ronaldo. That is a well-known fact!
