Airtel usually charged you double of what your phone data counter usually show. So you've used 38GB of the 40GB, the other 2GB is for the upload. Just my observations from using Airtel for more than a decade now. 1 Like |
Sports / Re: Guardiola Blasts Critics Who Claim It’s Unfair To Award Messi The Ballon D’or by emae009(m): 11:09am On Dec 02, 2021 |
oxygeng: Because the "public" can't phantom the idea that the greatest ever is living among them. It's a human psychology thing. Even in an individual sports like Formula 1 there are still people that will lament that Hamilton isn't the best ever when the record is there to back him. Let me put it this way, if I give you a shoe and said this shoe is the best ever, unless it's a shoe you already like, it doesn't matter if facts show the shoe to be the best ever, you'll always find fault with it. But if I said in 1953, this person wore the best shoe ever, because you weren't there and are relying on witness account, it's very easier for your brain to accept that the shoe in 1953 was the best ever. 4 Likes 1 Share |

lexy2014: you can ask silly questions ehn! They don't rate it as high and it's not the only one, Asia and America too. QED. Why aren't all the Leagues rated the same even though they are in Europe. Why be say if a player goes to play in China, we consider him finished. Or if a player goes to MLS, we consider it retirement. Are we fans racists?? Abi you want lie say you don't also fall into the category of fans? I gave you the answer already you still dey ask me the same question. you want to believe it's racism you can go ahead. |

abbey621: you said stats but you're only focus on goals scored. So why was VVD a very strong contender even more than Lewandowski when he was a defender?? You mentioned impact on the team but assumed Lewandowski had more impact than Messi. Messi was won a record 8th Pichichi but that wasn't all. He went to COPA and was joint top Scorer while giving the most assist in the competition. The same Euro that Lewandowski couldn't perform Schick of Czech Republic was joined Top Scorer with Ronaldo. He plays for West Ham and isn't even their best player. Messi created more chances for his teammates than Lewandowski. His goals got the most pionts for his team than Lewandowski (impact of goal on the team chances of winning a game). But sure let's all forget about all these stats when talking about impact on the team and focus on who scored the most goals. You just want to believe Lewandowski was robbed, anything that invalidate that isn't acceptable to you. like you said Peace. I tired of going back and forth with you when you're putting on the sentiment glasses |

lexy2014: and you're response is the why I structured mine that way. They only other international competition they rate are World Cup and CONNEBOL. All others aren't in the same light. so is that racism for you? why didn't Zidane play for Africa or Henry or Evra and their likes. Those talents choosing AFCON over EUROS could have gone a long way in putting us in the spotlight. |

oakinshield: please who won the Ballon d'Or in 2016. The same year Portugal won the Euros?? Simple facts una no sabi but will public write ignorance. FYI Dortmund won the DFB Pokal not Bayern. You're quick to downplay the Copa America as not that important but the Bundesliga that Bayern has the best team and snaps up their rival players each season is not played down by you. that you can't even smell your Hypocrisy is alarming |

lexy2014: no because Ballon d'Or don't consider the AFCON in the same breathe as EUROS and COPA AMERICA, but before you scream racism, do they also consider ASIAN CUP and CONCACAF?? Yes there's a big racism in the world but being quick to use that an excuse isn't always the right path. All the blacks that represented France and other European countries, imagine if they had ignored that and choose Africa. The Ballon d'Or was initially for Europeans, when they blew it open, the only other Continent with mad reps in World Cup was South American hence why it's equated to Euros. |

Did you know that 2018 Modric won, Messi was the highest goal Scorer but was placed 5th on the ranking. so using your own point Messi was actually cheated for the award. abi do you want to rewrite your statement as you have a strong will of doing that.

naija1stnigar: I was looking for Sneijder stats from 2010. anywho, it's not a fact per say but in an international competition year, those tournaments takes priority. Each year when Messi was overlooked the rationale behind it was he didn't perform with Argentina and was popularly accepted. So Ronaldo didn't perform with Portugal. Modric "captained" Croatia to the World Cup final (that's sentimental in football, David fighting against Goliath sort of). His stats wasn't great either. They both won the UCL. If you look at 2018, the line up was greatly influenced by the world Cup and people were happy to accept it. so I don't see why when we had Copa America and Euros, the importance given to those tournaments should change because Messi won finally 1 Like 1 Share |

fergie001: To some extent yeah. Because of how good they are individually which is one point I was trying to make. If Ballon d'Or is still solely on individual performance as it was in the early days, each year will feature both of them so to give others a fair chance emphasis of what to look for the most is flexible each year. if we want to dissect both year. The opinion that the rightful people were overlooked for the awards will just be pure sentiment. 1 Like 1 Share |
Sports / Re: 2021 Ballon D’or: It Was Lewandowski’s Award – Darren Bent by emae009(m): 1:55pm On Dec 01, 2021 |
fergie001: Your last statement might be truth probably. But a lot of people keep confusing 2020 with 2021. Chelsea won UCL in 2021 Dortmund won the DFB Pokal Cup in 2021 what Bayern won was the Bundesliga league title and the German Super Cup for this year. So Lewandowski didn't clear out the domestic titles. The way I see it, in an international competition year, the international tournament carries more weight than the UCL which carries more wight than League titles which carries more weight than domestic cups. Lewandowski won league title and domestic cup while scoring more goals which is the only individual statistics he's better than Messi. Messi won a domestic cup with an international tournament while beating others in every individual stats bar goals. so yes it was a close call but Messi was just better in the end. There was an argument about this on ESPN, four pundits where going on about how Lewandowski deserved it until an international journalist joined them and he said something in the line of, each journalist chosen to vote have to present their Top 5 with each position getting a piont value. Then he revealed that an English Journalist chosen to represent English chose Jorginho as his #1. The reason he revealed that was to point out that not everyone just went with Messi or Lewandowski as their top pick. Afterwards these journalists are gathered together in Paris and the points of each player is tallied. The highest tally wins. so if we drop sentiment and sympathy of Lewandowski not winning last year which was canceled due to Covid, Messi fully deserved to win 1 Like 1 Share |

naija1stnigar: please back your statements with facts abeg. so assists should be considered too when judging for the winner right. Please let's continue because I can bet you anything that when we get to the bottom of this gist, the only outcome will be that Messi deserved his 7th Ballon d'Or |
Sports / Re: 2021 Ballon D’or: It Was Lewandowski’s Award – Darren Bent by emae009(m): 12:53pm On Dec 01, 2021 |
fergie001: Ballon d'Or since it's inception was always for individual performance above the collective. If they had still follow that priority in the 21st century, Messi would have won more than 7. By now, people won't even be attending the show. The whole crinkum crankum scenario we're seeing now is that they try to tweak the system of criterias they now use so that others have a fair chance of winning. In 2021 which is under review, without sentiment, Messi deserved to be crowned the winner. Lewandowski was the sure bet in 2020 and there's no argument from anybody. But it was canceled. Messi didn't caused it. It wasn't something that was pre-planned. Saying Lewandowski should be given this year for last year unfortunate scenario is just a sympathy scenario. You don't stop giving the kid that top his class the first position simply because he has topped the class one too many times.. If Lewandowski doesn't win it next year or isn't given last year as France Football are contemplating, then he will just be one of the unfortunate ones not to win. There are a lot of all time greats in that category. 1 Like 1 Share |

Hermes119: Going back to the history of Ballon d'Or, they always prioritize individual performancea over collective. In the past if you check, you'd see people that won a lot with their clubs but were snubbed for the award because individually the winner was better. In the 21st century, if that patterned was followed, Messi would have been winning it almost every time so after partnering with FIFA to award the FIFA Ballon d'Or, their priority changes as FIFA awards gives more weight to international competitions. If we leave sentiment asides and judge squarely based on facts, France Football are actually tweaking the system to afford other players a chance to win the award. Just take a look at the 3 criterias they use to judge. There's no one season that Messi wouldn't have a legitimate claim to the award base on those criterias 1 Like 1 Share
