Did you watch the match against Arsenal how he skinned Partey and Gabriel at different times. Did you see how he destroyed a Spurs player to make that assist for Cavani? What about the Euros that he gave Rudiger one of the most rugged defenders in the world a haircut and used him for a no look pass. Dont let your hatred for him get you jaundiced to his capabilities.

MALIGNANTGuest:
What's PENALDO trying to achieve?
That he can use penalties to win Ballon D'or.
Is he Mad or What?
He should be distanced from BALLON D'or henceforth. After all, he plays only Luxembourg and scores mostly penalties.
He steals penalties from teammates and scores them.
The only player that celebrates PENALTY GOALS like FREEKICK
A Player that has never dribbled an opponent in 10years is that one a soccer player?
Even ANELKA dribbled people.

Many of them did not watch the final which was really lopsided and after that goal,Argentina did not carry any threat. They keep screaming Messi won the cup for Aregebtina but he only scored a goal in the knockout stage quarter finals against Ecuador in the 93rd minute in a 3-0 win after the game has been practically decided. In the final which Brazil dominated in all aspects Messi was rated 6.5 and had no shot on goal out of their paltry 2 they got on target. If you read the build up to that final,many Brazilloans were not interested in that competition and Neymar came out to blast fans for their passiveness and wishing for Messi to win. The semi final was won by Martinez the villa goalkeeper during the shootout after a drab 1'-1 draw at full time with Colombia that had Davidson Sanchez as centre back .

Maobichek:
Before the final, Neymar was so confident that he posited that he wanted to play Argentina in the final, ( the final was btwn 12am and 1am) i didn't only watch copa American, i followed most of the games. At the final proper, ball possession, Brazil was 65, Argentina 35. Football is not about ball possession but goals. Messi should enjoy the award but end of the season will justify Messi has been going down.

Portugal got to semi final of 2006 world cup when Ronaldo was just 21. Even with more established and experienced players he was a shining star and a major driver in kicking England out in knock out stages
As a teenager in Euro 2004,he scored crucial goals that took Portugal to the final despite losing their opening game he did not start

oyatainer:
Summarily, by your logic, Pedro is better than C Ronaldo. Pedro has won Euro, and world cup and Ronaldo has not reached semi final of World cup.

Besides, this, I see best squad in the world. Please, can you take on Argentina first eleven compare Present Portugal team where Felix, Bruno Fernandez and Co stay on bench.

I will take this present Portugal ahead of Argentina if individual club rating, monetary values and squad depth is concerned. Argentina are never a best squad in Copa America. A team that went ten matches without a win when Messi retired temporarily

Even if you terned me zombie does that change the fact that Belgium you listed as one of European winners have only gone as far as semi final just twice.

LabelKiller:
I constructed my argument well enough for even a zombie to understand, (not calling you a zombie btw) I said Europe has more.
plus Germany+Italy=8 world cups.
whole south America has 9.
Get your factos right before you come at me

Belgium must have won world cup in Mars..Europe has won more world cups Italy and Gernant alone have world cup titles to equal the whole south America .

LabelKiller:
Dust and gibberish
Yes bundesliga is easy. Bayern strikers are always top scorers and they have won it with ease for 9 years consecutively
You compare it with Copa America like a team can win it 9 editions in a row LOL.
and world cup
Brazil+Argentina+Uruguay=9 world cups
Belgium+Spain+Italy+England+France+Netherlands=8 world cups
all 54afcon countries= 0 finals.
Europe has more world cup wins though. just for context

He was not ordinary in CL,he got injured and missed the PSG game in quarters. With Lewandoski,they stood a better chance of beating PSG and it was glaring.

ThierryJay:
Hope Lewy will enjoy his ball of salt from his beloved Poland, but he didnt deserve the 2021 Ballon D'or over Messi.

Pls show me a Ballond D'or winner in recent history that won the award based solely on excellent league displays while being ordinary in the UCL or a major international tournament. Because that's exactly what Lewy did in 20/21 season.

You won't find any. How come you wailers are now saying he deserves it?

From who or what?

SlyDev:
Back off

Stale divisive message. Lagosians mostly Yorubas folks were the arsonists and looters . The videos ranging from Oba's palace,Igbosere court,Surulere etc are all there as documentary evidence.

SlyDev:
May God protect us from visitor that will burn down our house, the responsibility of odua land rest on us Yoruba youth

It was actually Arsene Wenger that said that in response to Fergie. It was a tasteless comment by AW.

LagbajaTheBEREAN:
You need not go far with that junkie part.

According to Fergie, 'EVERYBODY THINKS They HAVE GOT THE BEST WIFE AT HOME' so you see most fans are highly opinionated and their definition of an ideal striker is always sprinkled with emotions and sentiments.

Lol@ Sugat Daddy. Congratulations we scrapped a win.

pocohantas:
I am a ManU fan.

My sugar daddy is an Arsenal fan.


Today, it is either I win him or he wins me.

This is too toxic. Slow down, it is just sports. "miserable.pityable career" really?

MangekyoAlt:
That's the most painful part. Messi is a man of few words. You never see him on social media's rattling about the careers of other footballers. The only few times he has spoken about Ronaldo was when he was asked by naive reporters about his thoughts on Ronaldo, he always uses and have always used those rare opportunities to give Ronaldo the praises he deserves.

The same cannot be said for pendu. A murthafucka who actually thinks the football body and even the fans actually give a f**k about his shitty, toxic, and irrelevant biased opinion

Pendu, his sister, mom and even entire family are always shitting on messi whenever they feel the need to direct their frustration at someone. They undermine messi whenever he achieves a feat they can only dream of achieving.

Ronaldo is a very very toxic human being who just can't get over the fact that someone he considers a rival is far far better than him.

Messi recently spoke good about him and how his life at man utd has been. The fact that Ronaldo and his entire household can go on to Instagram to shit on him actually shows how obsessed they are with him.

Ronaldo digging out posts that undermine messi to show support to them is the lowest I've seen him gone yet.
The poster literally said Ronaldo deserved to win the award despite haven taken juventus to the lowest position they gotten to in 10 years and getting bitch slapped by a 10 man Porto in the UCL. Claiming messi disappeared in big matches with Ronaldo jealously agreeing by commenting "#Facts". I mean where is the fact in what that fans of his wrote if not just commenting out of sheer hatred for messi?

I have legit lost all the little respect I had left for Ronaldo. I wish him trophy less seasons until the end of his miserable, and pityable career. He will not qualify for 2022 world cup. So shall it be

He has proven overtime to be a hack and now a quack.

Which property was burnt?

You are supposed to be learned Auditor.....

Don't be in a hurry to say good night. You are not clever enough to know that being rich does not require the the book or classroom intelligence you are probably looking out for. Even illiterates make money because they are quite brilliant at what they do . But stupid people are hardly rich. Ever heard the saying a fool and his money are soon parted. Ciao.

VKconcept:
Just know not all rich are intelligent, I have met some stupid rich ones and for your question it shows clearly you're not intelligent enough to understand my point lol... Goodnight!

Stupid people hardly become rich even though they can be infamous. Hope you are not one?

VKconcept:
Being rich and famous makes one to be immune to be called stupid or being stupid itself. Smh

Charabia. Seems I just found me a new troll. I will love to see wherever I have insulted Messi. Speaking one's opinion should never be mistaken for hatred.
Somebody made a career switch that got him more money as well as validated his adaptability and to a troll that is stupid. Since he left Madrid,have they gotten further than a quarter final? in fact English clubs have been kicking their butt, this is what never happened when he was on Madrid's payroll.

GrammarNazi1:
It always pains you when Pendu is criticized.

Take it easy on yourself.

Imagine an internet troll calling Ronaldo stupid. Isnt that the height of it all.

Bla bla bla! Continue...

Trophyless season with Copa Italia and Italia Suoer Cup? Who is this half baked journalist in Daily Post.

obembet:
Lionel Messi may have won an unprecedented seventh Ballon d'Or this week but fans of Cristiano Ronaldo have found another way to show that the Manchester United man has the edge over the Argentina hero.

Ronaldo has won the gong five times himself - an incredible haul but ultimately now two less than Messi.

But remarkably, across the all-time history of Ballon d'Or voting Ronaldo has received 200 more votes than Messi - according to The Sun.
Messi has received 3,574 votes across his career while Ronaldo has amassed a total of 3,781 - over 200 more than the Paris Saint-Germain player.

Messi was crowned the winner in Monday's ceremony after a year where he finally won an international honour with Argentina - the Copa America - as well as lifting the Copa del Rey with Barcelona.

It turned out to be his final trophy at the club. Barcelona let him leave for free after being unable to offer him a contract extension due to their ongoing financial difficulties.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, endured a trophyless season at Juventus before heading back to Manchester United, where things aren't going much better.
Ronaldo has scored 10 goals in 15 games since being back at Old Trafford and will be back in action on Thursday when United meet Arsenal.

He was surprisingly left on the bench for the 1-1 draw against Chelsea on Sunday.

Quack auditor punching above his weight.

seunmsg:
Falana is fast becoming a quack lawyer and it’s so disgraceful. Every single repot of a judicial or administrative panel of inquiry has been subjected to a white paper since the era of colonial rule without anyone making an issue out of it. It got to the time of Endsars and they want to suddenly change the rule just to have their lies accepted. He should tell us the judicial pronouncement that made government white paper illegal or shut the fvck up.

The white paper is the official communication of the Lagos state government on the report of the panel and it would be gazetted as such. It is only the recommendations published in the gazette that will be implemented. The recommendations of a panel is not a court judgement that must be 100% accepted and implemented.

If anybody is not happy with the white paper, he should go to court and stop making noise on official media. Falana & son, Marcaroni and DJ switch can go and implement their own recommendations in their own room. The Lagos state government has published its white paper on the report and it is final.

Quite typical, skipped the part where facts stared you in the face. There is a link below that shows how serious the Brazillians took the competition. https://www.espn.com/soccer/brazil-bra/story/4429785/copa-america-neymar-hits-out-at-brazil-supporters-for-backing-messi-in-final

About Maracana stadium,by the time I was able to visit in 2014,it has become soulless as the reconstruction didn't help matters. No longer the intimidating atmosphere I read in Pele's book and watched in old football videos. I have witnessed live far more intimidating venue atmosphere at the Kop end OF Anfield,La Bombonera at Bueno Airies and Curva Sud the AC Milan end of San Siro.
.

emae009:
I doubt you have. Because if you did watch Argentina matches and you wouldn't come up with that take of I'm still looking for the outstanding thing Messi did and you even conclude your bias, you said Brazil lost interest.
Meaning you don't know how historic and ingrained in Brazil football culture, what the Maracana stadium is. plus people that lost interest where crying when they lost. Go figure.

Thank you. I have adequate knowledge of the major 3 metrics being used. Two of which over time have proven to be very subjective.

GrammarNazi1:
My reply to you is not uncouth. You may need to check it again.

You need to update your knowledge of the qualities a player needs to win the Ballon d'Or, trust me.

For the pedantic one who thought he is talking to a kid. "Since 1993, the tournament has generally featured 12 teams—all 10 CONMEBOL teams and two additional teams from other confederations. Mexico participated in every tournament between 1993 and 2016, with one additional team drawn from CONCACAF, except for 1999, when AFC team Japan filled out the 12-team roster, and 2019, which featured Japan and Qatar. The 2016 version of the event, Copa América Centenario, featured 16 teams, with six teams from CONCACAF in addition to the 10 from CONMEBOL.[5] Mexico's two runner-up finishes are the highest for a non-CONMEBOL side[/font]"


I have even gone past following games on Livescore or flashscore . I was at the 2016 Centennial Copa America that took place in the States. Two matches precisely I got to watch.

emae009:
stick to your flashscore then. You never once watched the Copa América. You just open livescores to check the result and you're here blabbing. It's only in the 100 year edition of the competition that other teams were invited to join.
It's so comical, I'm wondering why I'm dignifying this with a response.
Mr. Wonder did you know that Messi won more points for his team than Lewandowski did in the same time frame or you haven't wonder to that point yet.

Thank you the uncouth one. I am not debating who is better here. I am not even mentioning Ronaldo here to be in the conversation for the award. Lewandoski is my choice, because in 2010 we were told that Balon d'or is for individual and not team award when it did not go to Sneijder or Iniesta in a world cup year. Messi did not even score as many goals as Lewandoski for Barcelona that year and he only won league title. While his Argentina team was bashed 5-0 by a young german team. Please what has changed the metrics suddenly in 2021.

GrammarNazi1:
Nothing is absurd.

The absurdity is only in your head.

There is nothing you can do about the tradition of Copa America.

Messi, you must live with it, is better than your ill-timed pseudo goat, Ronaldo, who is unlucky to play in the era of Messi, the GOAT.

There are better ways of engaging without being rude. The Copa America this year was a farce. In the past teams from Concacaf were invited to have more numbers to make it more competitive but this did not happen due to Covid.

This year only 10 teams played with 5 in each group . It is damn absurd that 4 teams still qualified from each group to go to quarterfinals. It means with 3 points at least, a team will be in quarter finals. Messi scored four goals overall and which penalties were involved. He only scored a single goal in the knockout stage(quarter finals) which came in 93rd minute of a 3-0 win, that is hardly consequential. The winning goal by DIMaria in the final too had no input from him that could have put him in Maradona's class. All through the group stages he scored in two matches(1-1 draw with Chile in opening match and the group's final match where he had 2 goals including a penalty in a 4-1 white wash of a Bolivian team that ended the competition without a single point) .

I have been searching for what was his spectacular performance in a competition that Brazil has lost interest in winning.

emae009:
from your line of reasoning, it's clear your mind is sealed so I don't understand why you're bothering others to try and change a stand you obviously aren't looking to change.
Shey Argentina just appeared in get Copa final abi.
Oya go and collect Ronaldo 2016 golden ball and come because it's Eder that scored in the final or in your opinion acting assistance coach is now greater than who score the goals?

What of the year Wesley Sneijder won treble,Iniesta won world cup but the award went to Messi. We were told Balon d'or is individual not team award. This Copa was won for Argentina by Emiliano Martinez(penalty saves in shootout) and DI MARIA in the final. Messi that you guys claimed was top scorer but actually was joint with Diaz scored last in the quarterfinal(a penalty). He did nothing exceptional in my opinion. Ronaldo was top scorer in a more difficult Euro and I believe he shouldn't be in the top 3 and rightly he wasn't. Year 2018,Luca Modric was part of e team that won champions league and his

paulolee:
Dt was just to reward him for 2020 dt was canceled due to covid...assuming he was given dt year, dey would be no need for best striker bcoz messi outclassed him last season bcoz he won copa bt lewa failed with poland....simple logic

So annoying with his atrocious spellings.

Fuckthamods:
This dimwit again.. He must always find away to involve CR7

Yeah, folks tend to blame others even for their follies.

Hahahahaha

Like a threat right not to mention you. The constitution stated any Nigerian citizen by birth(go and verify how the constitution defines citizenship by birth) . Saraki's case has been settled in court when he was even a Governor.

Atiku's case is different and very contentious .The bone there is Jada where he was born was part of Northern Cameroun and they coukd not be called Nigerians. What will knock off that case is clear. Azikwe(a former President) and even Awolowo were not Nigerians when they were born in 1904 and 1909 respectively. Were they disqualified from running for PRESIDENT?

Ifesinachi22:
Nigerias constitution specifically states that to be eligible to contest for the President of Nigeria, you must be a Nigerian born in Nigeria. Not outside Nigeria.

Why was APC taking Atiku to Court that when Atiku was born in Adamawa, Adamawa was still part of Northern Cameroon not part of Nigeria? It's because of this part of the constitution.

If you understand this, good. If you don't understand it, don't mention me again please. Ask a Legal Luminary close to you or you Google What the nation's constitution says about it.

I'm out

Bad etiquette, eating and talking at the same time. If the food should go through the wrong chamber and she get choked, her minions will start pointing fingers at Annie.

Thandiubani:
Pero, the babymama of musician 2Face Idibia has gone on a date with a mystery lover.

Recall that Pero and Annie, wife of 2Face were recently engaged in a messy public fight some weeks ago.

Annie had accused Pero of trying to snatch her husband from her.

However, she fired back by suing Annie for defamation.

In a new video posted on social media, Pero could be seen enjoying her meal with a mystery lover.

She added that she owes no one any explanation as she bragged that her lover was there with her.

Say what? Bukola Saraki was born in UK and he is contesting to be Nigeria's President in 2023.

Ifesinachi22:
Davido wasn't born in Nigeria, so he can't be President of Nigeria. The highest he can be is a Governor.

He can be President of America though

What should worry you was around 2013,Messi was leading him marginally in goals scored. Now it is almost a generational gap between them.

tesppidd:
Okay

Ronaldo 799 Goals in 1093 Games.

Messi 756 Goals in 945 Games.


Ronaldo still an inferior goal better to Messi.


FACT.

Music video is the work of the director . I am not sold on anything about Grammy that is not about singing or song writing. I have no qualms with him winning and happy for him winning but I prefer the mainstream award not all the side shows. Sokiru Adepoju has won Gramny award way back before Wizkid started singing but it was in a lesser recognized category the reason why Nigerians didnt have too much to celebrate. Also the reason why Seun Kuti cane out bluntly that music video category is a sideshow. That only himself,Burna, Feni and KSA are the only ones with real . Gramny nomination.

Karac:
Wizkid won from the main category (Best Music Video) last year with BSG. Nigerians like you still went on to discredit him, saying "he didn't win", "he wasn't nominated" bla bla bla, until Grammy sent his plaque down to Nigeria and he posted it. Y'all find a way to discredit everything out of hate. So this year's agenda is that he was nominated for categories that belong to "outsiders" abi. Continue.

Nigerians are quite gullible and easily impressionable. Are these the categories where Sade Adu and SEAL won(both are of Nigerians descent and Sade was even born in Ibadan). Imagine the noise about Grammy categories made for outsiders. WTH is global sound/album categories in the mainstream music.

Dailymice:
Winning a Grammy doesn't necessarily mean you sing well or your voice is good. Grammys are actually overrated and the real talented people aren't appreciated. Some singers even reject it these days
