And about messi's goal against naija...it's a pity people say messi is nothing without his left foot. That goal was masterclass and he scored it with his right foot, so was the first goal against chelsea in the second leg of the round of 16 in UCL last season

funny enough, messi is the only player to score at least 10 goals each with both feet for 5 years in a row as at 2017

Yes , men from 45 years and above drop advive for younger men

Another day another dembele story on Marca.

Really professional from Marca.

Running a smear campaign on a 21year old foreigner trying to settle down.
Really professional.

Should get their ratings up a bit.

Just the other day, they put up an article about Ramos's critics and implied that it was a campaign from catalunya...had to bring up roy keane's career ending tackle on that guy(cant remember his name) , de jong kung fu kick on alonso in the world cup final and some other incidents to defend Ramos...those guys are funny

raumdeuter:
Your league leader has only conceded 5 goals 2 from penalties
3 teams unbeaten in your league almost half the teams in your league have less than 10 points

It simply shows that half of the EPL are farmers. Even iyana ipaja United will do better than that

And they have played almost all the big teams , only chelsea remain

Suleja to minna is now 3 hrs journey... I weep 4 niger state

So out beyond the Confederate lines he rode, accompanied by just a small entourage. When one of his officers pointed out that wandering out beyond your own lines in the aftermath of a battle at night might be a tad dangerous, Jackson assured the man that it was all good and ordered him to go and tell everyone to prepare for opening yet another tin of whoop-ass on the enemy,Stonewall style.
However, Jackson failed to realize two very important things.
Thing number one: Your average soldier isn't Stonewall Jackson, or even all that brave. He's cold, and tired, and hungry, and terrified out of his skull of the darkness beyond his picket. And most importantly, he's scared enough to fire at any suspicious movement --especially if said movement rides directly toward him at high speed, booming that he's your own high commander.


Thing number two: Jackson was now coming in from the exact direction these men were pointing their guns.
Thus, Stonewall and his returning party were greeted with gunfire the very second Confederate sentries saw him. The general took three bullets, had an arm amputated and succumbed to operation-induced pneumonia eight days later. And that's how a few random sentries wound up with an incredibly awkward story to tell their families back home.http://www.cracked.com/article_19981_the-5-most-embarrassing-failures-in-history-war.html

The Embarrassment:
Look, friendly fire is going to happen. Real war isn't like a video game -- there are no icons hovering over your teammates' heads. But there is friendly fire and then there is accidentally shooting one of the most legendary generals in the history of warfare.
It happened thanks to Jackson's typical bravado. He had a mind to take the fight to the enemy the second he could, and was keen on running reconnaissance on the Union's formations. So keen, in fact, that he just couldn't wait for any actual intelligence officers to gather the knowledge he desired, let alone wait for them to explain that shit to him. No,he was going to ride out and do the spying himself.

1)Stonewall Jackson Is Gunned Down by His Own Men

The Battle of Chancellorsvillewas a key victory for the Confederates during the Civil War. This win was in no small part due to Confederate general and wartime superhero Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson.
When General Lee split his troops during the battle, he gave Jackson the all-important task of attacking the Union flank. Stonewall obliged by raising his trademark hell, tearing through the opposition like the unstoppable force of nature that he was. He only stopped his attack because nightfall made it too dark for accurate d*ck punching.

After what had to have been one of the most hilariously awkward conversations in the history of warfare, a confused and presumably very annoyed Spanish officer informed the Americans that Spain had never bothered to inform Guam that they were at war with the U.S. at all, and that in fact several battles had already occurred. This would be why, for instance, they didn't bother stocking up on gunpowder.
This is how the strategically important island surrendered without firing a single shot, presumably because a "WE ARE AT WAR" email got stuck in Guam's spam folder.

The Embarrassment:
The Spanish response was not the expected barrage of cannon fire and creative swearing. Instead they sent a single small ship, carrying a Spanish officer who politely asked permission to come aboard.
Out of curiosity, they let him. The Spaniard politely welcomed USS Charleston to Guam. Then, he thanked them for their lovely 13-shot salute ... and apologizing that they had not saluted back as they were completely out of gunpowder. He proceeded to earnestly ask if the Americans would lend him someso they could return the favor.

2)Guam Tries to Borrow Ammunition from the Enemy

In the first stages of the Spanish-American War, USS Charleston was ordered to capture the Spanish island of Guam. They were running on a schedule, too -- they had been given only two days to complete this mission.
When they finally reached Guam, time was running short. With every reason to expect heavy resistance, they fired 13 shots at the shore fort of Santa Luz and waited for a response.

HMS Victoria's turret full of giant guns immediately proved the dangers of overcompensation. The weight dragged the damaged ship down nose first, burying it deep in the silt. It sank so hard that its recovery remains impossible to this day.

However, Tryon evidently sucked at math. Both lead ships -- Victoria and HMS Camperdown -- had a minimum turning radius of 800 yards, meaning they needed to be over 1,600 yards apart to pull off the stunt. Tryon, despite the frantic protests of his underlings, set their distance at1,200yards.
In what must've been the biggest, most drawn-out "oh shit" moment in the history of naval prancing, everyone except Tryon watched in horror as Victoria and Camperdown drew closer and closer, until the latter rammed into Victoria's side and ripped it open like a weaponized iceberg. At that point reality finally dawned on Tryon, if only because he happened to be onboard Victoria himself.

Yeah, with all the hoo-hah surrounding it, HMS Victoria was always pretty much destined to become a connoisseur of the finer textures of the ocean bottom. The real embarrassment factor came inhowit happened: In 1893, the Brits accidentally sunk HMS Victoria all by themselves.With a flashy parade maneuver.


It must have seemed like such a good idea at the time. After all, the massive ship was completely seaworthy and presided over by Vice Admiral George Tryon, a known master of complicated ship handling. As they were pulling into Tripoli, Tryon decided to show off his fleet's capabilitiesand designed a display for the masses gathered on the shores, in a manner not unlike a skateboarder impressing onlookers with a perfectly executed frontside ollie.
The idea was that the 10 ships under his command would head directly away from port in two parallel columns, then turn 180 degrees to meet in the middle and head back to port in perfect formation. Correctly executed, it would have looked pretty sweet:

3)The British Navy Accidentally Sink Their Own Best Ship

HMS Victoriawas a massive warship that was built for one purpose and one alone: to turn Britain's enemies on the sea into Britain's enemiesunderthe sea. Designed to be the flagship of their Mediterranean fleet, the Royal Navy spared no expense in making Victoria terrifyingly unstoppable. With its 17-inch armor, state of the art engines and two 110-ton guns built into one massive turret, the ship was essentially the Death Star of the seas.
Via Cityofart.net
"We shall call this gun ... theNauticock."
The Navy hype machine lauded the ship as virtually unbeatable, because everyone knows nothing badhas ever happenedto ships that have been dubbed invincible.

The helicopters are hovering over the water, and then one suddenly takes a dip, like a giant Oreo made of spinning blades. To be clear, the machines are in no way designed to do that -- what you're seeing is a helicopter pilot's near-death experience. So what could have caused two highly trained pilots to surface-hover with a chopper model that's not even designed for such activity? Were they attempting some kind of crazy rescue attempt?
Nope.
The Embarrassment:
It was a military training exer- wait, what?
Facebook. It was Facebook.
The pilots dunked their multimillion-dollar aircraft in the lake while attempting to take cool pictures to post on their Facebook wall.
In what may be the strangest case of a simultaneous brainfart in military history, both pilots decided to neglect this whole "flying" thing in favor of holding their camera phones with one hand and attempting to make a duckface. As a result, the two helicopters rapidly lost altitude and took a swim. Luckily, they were both able to regain altitude and get back to base, with enough damage to the aircraft to wipe out all of the federal taxes you'll ever pay.
