Elxandre: Best team is not by names alone, otherwise Leicester wouldn't have won the league, and Messi would have won the world cup in 2010 when he was a much more powerful force of nature. He even had more elite team mates then. But anything to promote agenda sha 😎
So your argument now is that: With or without a best team, Ronaldo was not good enough to win, and had no hope of winning, a WC?
Kingcalls: Deco was born and bred in Sao Paulo....he just nationalised for Portugal .... any smart person knows that messi is an agenda , just like LGBTA and feminism... giving him 6 controversial penalties in 6 different games sold them out ... if Portugal were also given 6 penalties out of 7 games , they would have won the WC ... fifa knew this was messis last chance and their last chance to push it ... Mbappe was by far the best player at the WC but the agenda pushed it to Messi... Messi lost the final in 2014 but was given the golden ball despite not scoring a single goal in the knock out... mbappe scored 8 goals and was top scorer and played lesser minutes than Messi and scored on 2 penalties and that was in the final and had 4 assists( even tho I don't care bout assists ) scored a hat trick in the final ... but they still gave the penalty merchant golden ball...if u can't see the agenda , then u are a blind fan ... they also gave him best goal at the UCL when it's obvious that players like vinicius , mbappe , okafor, dzeko scored way better goals ... what Ronaldo has done for Portugal, no player in their history have ever done it... what Messi has done for Argentina, players have done it b4 ... B4 Ronaldos first WC , Portugal had only qualified 3 times on their history... Argentina had played over 13 World cups , won 2 times and played in 3 finals b4 Messi... portugal have never played in a final ... if Ronaldo was Argentine and Messi was Portuguese, he would not have won it while Ronaldo would have won at least 2... the champions league that's a level playing field has settled this matter ... Messi won WC , but played trash in UCL with PSG ... that says it all
So Messi is "an agenda" of a Portuguese-speaking person who chose to play for the Portuguese national team instead of the great Brazil; playing with Messi's rival as his own team mate in this national team?
Messi is "an agenda" of a Portuguese-speaking person from the only Portuguese-speaking nation in the whole of Latin America; a nation which is also a bitter footballing rival of Argentina?
First look at these and then review if your brain works and where it resides lower down the body.
Poske95: If you were knocked out in a boxing match and the ref mistakingly counted to twelve, you would refute the score. First, Argentina has more depth in the football tradition only next to Germany and Brazil Messi made sure of that in the open era by replicating the magnificence of Maradona, the greatest, hence, the term GOAT today. If Messi had gone to lose the 2022 World Cup, he would have been haunted for generations,ask Baggio. But he did. Think he was already greater than CR7 in that respect. Once one is greater than you....no dispute.
Without WC, without Copa America, Messi was still greater than Ronaldo.
Buddha3: Funny thing is, I was rooting for France to win the World cup.
It's just weird how the bulk of nairaland users seem to reason like guinea pigs. So because I said Argentina was favoured by Fifa, you automatically assumed I am one of those who always has a preference between Messi and Ronaldo?
Mehn! You're all a really sad bunch!
If you get sense, explain how FIFA favoured Argentina.
EMMARNUEL: Na fifa tell netherlands and france make them miss penalty? na fifa tell dembele make e kick di maria for box? You be mumu.. Pendu fan boy, cover ur demented head in shame. Fool.
Don't mind the idiocy!
Na FIFA also tell Penaldo to be diving for penalty against ordinary Ghana.
Elxandre: A team that always got bailed by penalties nearly every game? They opened the scoring with penalties almost every game which changes the game plan obviously. BTW, Deco is not correct. They have always had Messi even in his prime years and they didn't do much. Argentina team was really solid defensively. It was impossible to even get much chances against them, and when they go ahead with a penalty, it's nearly game over. Portugal on the other hand had nearly 38 year old Ronaldo. They had their best squad at the wrong end of Ronaldo's career. He was simply too old to do much. Bring him this squad 4 years ago, and they would go far, not to mention Santos is a poor coach. Where was Deco at 38 if na so e easy? Which outfield player was still balling at the highest level at 38?
Messi did well btw.
What did Ronaldo do for Portugal then when he was 34 and just required to score goals?
How come he could not win the WC then? He was just required to stand there, take penalties and score goals.
Was this the best squad of Argentina that Messi carried to win WC as its playmaker and goalscorer?
ehikwe22: This is SK true. Argentina won because they have Messi, that has FIFA.
This is not disputing the fact that Messi is good or better than Rinaldo, but in the world cup, we can see the body language of FIFA and how they tried so hard to push Messi.
AImiron: Portuguese legend Deco has said that Argentina won the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar because of Lionel Messi's presence.
The former Barcelona forward captained La Albiceleste to their third World Cup and their first since 1986. The South American giants started their campaign with a 2-1 loss against Saudi Arabia but won every game after that. They beat France on penalties in the final following a pulsating 3-3 draw after extra time.
Lionel Messi won the Golden Ball , scoring seven goals and providing three assists. He also scored a brace in the final and converted his penalty in the shootout. Portugal, meanwhile, were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Morocco.
Deco, who made 75 appearances for A Selecao, has said that while Portugal have many good players, they don't have the Argentine talisman. In an interview with Argentine outlet TR Sports, he said (via @AlbicelesteTalk
" Argentina won the World Cup because they have Messi. For us, Portugal had the best generation of good players, but we don't have Messi ."
Incidentally, Portugal's captain rival Cristiano Ronaldo failed to make an impact at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. He scored just one goal in five games and started on the bench in the two knockout games.
Beverlyjean!
No be wetin I tell you here a Portuguese legend is telling you too?
He, like me, highlighted that Portugal had one of the most talented team ever but could not do much, while Messi carried a weaker team to win the WC.
Can you see say something is wrong with you?
Portuguese legends are telling you Messi is the greatest. Penaldo's own former teammates are telling you Messi is the greatest. Yet, your mental illness will say "It is all a FIFA and Joe Hart conspiracy to make Messi look better".
Amidst the pregnancy allegations from two prospective baby mamas, another lady calls out the Afrobeat singer, Davido for impregnating her and failing to pay her off.
This comes amidst the backlash trailing the singer for impregnating two women; one U.S. model, Anita Brown and a French lady, Ivanna Bay. A lady identified as Chisom on TikTok alleges that she once had an intimate relationship with Davido which led to a pregnancy.
According to Chisom, the singer advised her to abort the baby with the promise of paying her N3M to keep her mouth shot. However, she alleged that O.B.O refused to pay the amount after terminating the baby.
In a now-deleted video, she shared chats she had with the 'Unavailable' singer and how he threatened her not to make the issue public.
"I was a victim of Davido too, I was once pregnant for Davido, He told me to aborrt it and promised to give me N10Million, I agreed and aborted the Baby but Davido never fulfilled his promises, he didn't Give me my N10Million," she said in part.
She further shared a photo of Davido in her bed, a video of herself while at backstage with the singer, and an alleged chat they had where he promised to pay her for aborting the baby.
I don’t give a bleep about you, maybe you thought you’ve arrived? Damn you
In your small brain it was cool to go public tarnishing the image of the so called actor
Is this the help that he’s supposed to receive from his Damn AGN colleagues?
Pull him Down syndrome, I refuse to be part of it Mr. Right Choice
Madam "I want a project to destroy my life", I am assuming you can read.
How did you miss the part where it was reported that they already were trying to help him?
The statements reads in part; “the Guild has been monitoring his involvement in illicit substances since December last year, until it got out of hand and as it is now, he cannot be allowed to associate with other performers on set due to danger.
“He ought to have been suspended before now. But we decided to allow him go through minor treatments , which he has been defaulting overtimes. But at it stands now, Jerry is a risk not only to himself but also, other actors who might be acting alongside him on set.
Did they even have to help him?
Did anyone force him to start taking drugs?
But your type will see men like him and be attracted, and then make your choice to create a project to save his useless ass, while opening your legs yakata for him to enjoy.
You are just addicted to danger? ................Because you find him mysterious, exciting and fun?
And then when you go with guys like this and mess up your lives in your youth, you will then be shouting that men that don't come and save you when you are older are not "real men"?
Same thing PBAT was saying few days ago, is it that he gets aggressive on set or what? I don’t get it!!!
Does he charge towards other actors on set? What does the AGN mean by saying he’s a danger to other actors on set??
Hope no one wants to kill the career of this young dude
Sounds like you want to go save him.
Just don't go, waste your youth on a saviour project, get pregnant & have a kid for him and then realise you cannot save him.
Then you would become a single mother looking for a good man to marry at an older age and who would be a step-father to the child of a drughead that you should have not had in the first place. You will be selling your fuckup as you being "caring, young and naive" and "a learning experience that is path of your life's journey". Men that have sense will not buy your deal and will go for girls who did not fuckup their youth.
If he is taking drugs, he is a useless human being. Accept that!
It is a name for all forms of wild (not domesticated/at home) felines in Yoruba.
Yorubas that went to the US call black Americans "Akata" to refer to them in a coded manner and reflect that the black Americans are not at their original homeland of Africa.
The country does not exist. It is obviously fake news but our absolutely useless, retarded, low IQ and brain-dead "yoots" are already celebrating without doing the simplest research on a "country" with an unrecognizable name.
Honestly, we are finished as a nation with such poor human capital filling our next generation.
udemzyudex: Yeah.. she made a bad choice by going for the rapper.
When women whine and say,he did this ,he did that bla bla bla. Well you choose him? It was your decision so deal with it. After all you saw other guys too but decided to go for him. You made a bad choice.
All men are the same.. they won't take responsibility neither would they own up to their bad deeds
See davido doing rubbish
Chioma must be under some sorta jazz/spell..
Bad deeds?
So she was doing good deeds?
She was doing good deed shagging a man with a serious girlfriend abi?
She was doing good deed when she went to have abortion?
You women always want to claim victimhood at the jaws of taking accountability for your own life choices. When a gender!
You go soon become single mother for some thug you know you can't and shouldn't marry and then turn around to claim victim and blame other men for not taking you seriously because they don't want the baggage of your life choices.
FreeStuffsNG: “Yes, I wasn’t ready but then I told you to keep it. So don’t make it seem like I was pushing you for abortion,” he raps in the first verse of the song.
He continued ““Nobody is the cause of your bad choices in life, stop the personal attacks.
Women and always trying to claim victim for the choices and decisions they free-ly made.
blueAgent: Same crap as usual. Your inability to see error in your own statement shows your naivety.
What u meant by your OP. is that Nigerians should not complain when tuition fees is raised becos we spend 2billion pounds in UK.
And I exposed your naivety by saying most of those money is spent by the wealthy and elite. And your below working brain and ego would not allow you to shutup and reason that raising school fees affects mostly the poor who most cannot afford to go to UK and the other places you mentioned.
You want on to rant about, how Nigerians spend money for education in other countries like Ghana,Malaysia,Ukraine Cyprus.
Showing that you lack comprehension.
Ppl like you are the reason the Europeans look down on us.
U have over bloated ego with little brains
Says the person who cannot comprehend written English.
