Oga why are you shifting goalpost na?
Instead of you to just agree that Sanchez was not their main man in the competition, you are giving me another long speech!


Did you watch both of them play? So why are you arguing with people who watched Both Pele and Maradona?


An average club that was able to fork out world record fee for a player? AC MILAN is an average club now, but have they always been an average club? Google about Napoli and stop spewing trash here!


Lmaoooooooooooo nice CV I must say!
Pele played 4 worldcups for Brazil!
-Brazil won it the edition before Pele made his debut, so obviously Brazil was already a superpower!
-In his 1st worldcup, Brazil won, but he was only good enough for Silver boot
-In his 2nd worldcup, he was injured early in the tournament, and Garrincha led brazil to the cup
-In his 3rd worldcup, Brazil didn't win
-It was only in his 4th worldcup that he was the best player!


Pelé scored 1281 goals in 1363 games, including unofficial friendlies and tour games!
Besides Neymar is on his way to break Pele record for highest number of goals for brazil!

And he did not make the tournament best XI

And 5 of his teammates made the team!

elampiro - here are quotes from some people who watched Pele and Maradona!

Debroslink:
How precisely did Sanchez inspire his country to glory? He scored a penalty, so what? How many MOTM did he win?

From your analogy, Sanchez is better than Maradona and Pele because he won a trophy the duo never won.

Who doesn't help.
He should better be using the skill on the other side of the pitch.

chrisley024:
Hahaha! Not surprised we've been horrible at defending set pieces

chrisley024:
Rooney our striker is now known for clearing aerial ball.




This romance with Rooney requires the help of TB Joshua

unless you are at least 53 years old don't tell me what you didn't see..Pele was injured in his first world cup win, Didi was MVP in the 2nd and Pele was one of many good players in the 3rd win. you want to compare the micro shorts footballers you had then with those around now? maradona however was a special breed, I don't know if messi can win at Napoli, same way I don't know if he can perform on a cold Tuesday night at stoke..but messi's sheer consistency over the years in unmatched.

Nihilist:
I said he was the weak link in our back line defensively.

The only person who would doubt Ivanovic being the best RB in the league last year thinks Valencia played better than Dani Alves.

How did you come to this conclusion??

bushdoc9919:
While Obama is approving of same sex marriage.....decisions by individual states to legalise or recognise same sex marriage are the states alone.

In other words this would have happened even if Obama was opposed to same sex marriage.

Again....America is less centralized than Nigeria.

Modified: ....

The legal issues surrounding same-sex marriage in the United States are determined by the nation's federal system of government, in which the status of a person, including marital status, is determined in large measure by the individual states. Prior to 1996, the federal government did not define marriage; any marriage recognized by a state was recognized by the federal government, even if that marriage was not recognized by one or more states, as was the case until 1967 with interracial marriage which some states banned by statute.
Civil same-sex marriage ceremony being performed in San Francisco City Hall in June 2008.

Prior to 2004, same-sex marriage was not performed in any U.S. jurisdiction. It was subsequently legalized in different jurisdictions through legislation, court rulings,[57] tribal council rulings,[58] and popular vote in referenda.[59][60][61]

The Supreme Court's ruling in Obergefell renders moot any remaining legal challenges, as it specifically orders states to both issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and to recognize as valid marriages performed in other states.[62]

I wish them every happiness

On a more serious note....Obama did not legalize gay marriage.

What happened was that some years ago, two gay men who lived in the US state of Ohio(which at the time did not recognize gay marriage)...got married in the State of Maryland (which did).

When one of the men died back home in Ohio...his husband applied to be listed on the death certificate as his spouse.

The State refused...hence Oberfegell vs Kasich(at the lower courts) and v Hodges (at the Supreme). (Oberfegell is the husband of the dead man, Kasich is the governor of Ohio State.Hodges is the Director of the Ohio Dept of Health..a position analogous to our States Commissioner for Health in Nigeria)..

The Supreme Court...in a majority decision...found that the American Constitution's intent is to provide every American with dignity...hence if gay marriage helped provide that dignity.....then gay marriage is legal under the Constitution.(That is a rough way of looking at it.A nearly similar decision was made in 1973 by the then Supremes legalizing abortion....Roe vs Wade.).

Hence...gay marriage is now legal. Obama did nothing(though he obviously is not opposed). If he was opposed...there is nothing he can do...save propose an amendment to the Constitution making gay marriage illegal.....which is a long and complex process...and which may not succeed.
