It's funny seeing explanation upon explanations to defend a racist country like Argentina.

South America allocations should be reduced to like 3.

More goals in this game for France. Paraguay are pathetic.

PDPGuy:
I don’t know how VAR missed that!

Right in front of the ref as well

It's inevitable, France will still score at least twice. Paraguay are not even playing football. One just punched Mbappe and not even a yellow.

AirBere:
Not only that. Raul Rangel and Unai Simon are yet to concede a goal after 4 games. May be he thinks winning the golden glove is by stopping shots.

They are yet to concede a goal thanks to the team they play for not because of them. At least 20 gk have been better than both.

African nations need good coaches the players are available. The Ghanaian coach just misused Semenyo the entire tournament.

Hopefully we beat Spurs to Tonali. Seems they are ready to spend whatever amount to upgrade their team.

Capaldi:
I don't care about their happiness, it's irrelevant to me , I care about enjoying the tournament and watching top teams go head to head in the latter stages of the tournament. Paraguay qualifying adds nothing. Another boring team with Haramic football.

France will score at least 5 on that Paraguayan defense. Easy games to the quarter finals for them.

Now imagine Lamine playing for the country of his birth and striking a partnership with Hakimi down that right hand side for Morocco. They would go all the way.

How did no big club pick up Ryan? He scored 20 goals in Brazil at just 18 for a small club and even won the Best Newcomer award, yet none of Europe big club seemed to seriously move for him. Those are exactly the types of signings Madrid and even Dortmund usually make.


Even Kroupi finished as the top scorer in France Ligue 2 with 22 goals at 18, and no top club made a serious move.


Bournemouth are going to be eating very well by this time next season seeing by how much Diamonde is going for.

This war sef


If you talk good or bad about Ronaldo, people automatically assume you are trolling Messi.

If you praise or critize Messi, the other faction will think you are talking about Ronaldo..

Very childish fanbases.

The woman we usually buy garri from is a homeowner, she fries the garri by herself and you have to book in advance otherwise you won't see to buy. Another woman frying akara is also a homeowner and two of her children are in the university and she did all that with her akara frying business.
If you are in doubt you can send reccy to come and verify my claims.
We may not agree with the government but let's not shy away from the truth that the grant won't uplift some people even though it may look small to many of us.

Some Nigerians are just in denial. People have been doing menial jobs to survive and build up their lives since God knows when.

Canada is a poor team as well.

The only top nation that has played up to expectations far is France and maybe Brazil. The rest dey gba.

Is this how Vitinha playa on a normal? Guy slows the game down way too much and can't make a forward pass.

raumdeuter:
Same with dribbling 6 people, every footballer can dribble 6 people but not all can do it consistently or think its an effective way to play

Another wrong analogy and a lie.

The point people are making and the one you are arguing is totally different. Feels like you are just arguing for argument sake. Some players can be talented than others and not achieve the same level of success or performance. I don't know why are arguing with that fact.

raumdeuter:
Not everyone can send a 40yars pass on the field to reach a strike, it takes vision and high IQ. Its why some players are called exceptional passers of the ball like KdB Fabregas Kroos

Not everyone can do it constantly but everyone could do it.

Potvalor:
Exactly. This is the same reason many people keep mentioning Neymar as the 3rd best player of the CR7/Messi era, like it is the hard truth. I have seen many comparisons that favors dribblers over players who are actually better than them e.g Hazard >>> Bale, or Neymar having "natural talent" than CR7 etc. Until casual football viewers understand that dribbling or ball hugging doesn't equate "natural talent", we will continue seeing such ridiculous takes as the majority opinion.

What equates natural talent when it comes to football?

raumdeuter:
The one that sends a 40yards pass has vision which is a big part of talent and achieves the aim better than one who dribbles 6 players into an alley

The point is anyone can send a 40yard pass, not everyone can dribble 6 players. You either have it or you don't.

raumdeuter:
KDB send a 40yard pass to Haaland for an assist, Cherki dribbles 6 players gets dispossed
Verdict Cherki is more talented

Average players can send a 40yard pass, an average player can't dribble 6 players constantly. This example doesn't help your argument.

The way in which we have been handing out huge salaries is becoming concerning. Viana can not do a deal without throwing £250k a week at the person.

Emaprince:
You are la city fan, so I am not interested in your take. But then, we shall see how he fares at City.

Rice I know. He has proven himself both at westham and arsenal as a tank. He defends, he attacks, he assists and scores. He is also a set piece specialist. So who is anderson? Abi na because he was selected to play in the worldcup?

This was how philips paired with Rice in Euros. Rice effect made him look solid. City rushed to buy him, only for the guy to flop and then thrown away.

Anderson at 24 is better than Rice was at the same age, More versatile and complete. Rice is currently the more proven player. Take a look at his stats below. Possession won, Duels won, Line breaking passes, successful passes etc. He's not just a runner like Caicedo and Rice.

Ibime:
Nico Gonzalez who was stolen from Barca via Porto?

Now replaced by Anderson who was stolen from Newcastle via Nottingham Forest.

Anderson has nothing to do with Nico, he is the Bernardo Silva's replacement. Kovacic and Reijnders are also likely to leave, while Rodri contract renewal is still up in the air. No one knows if he wants to renew, and he only has one year left. We actually need two more midfielders.

Emaprince:
How is this andarsene better than rice?

Do you knownthe amount of work Rice put in midfield?
If you remove rice and pair andarsene with some one else, he may be exposed.

Anderson is more versatile and complete than Rice. He can sit deep alone and play as a runner when needed. Basically whatever rice can do Anderson can do better.

Mancity have gotten their 130m man

I will advice you not to judge your realities with others.

Those are the facts.

Anybody?

Like even men in their 40s and 50s?

Do you mean men in their 40s and 50s then or now?

Most men in their 40s and 50s then followed football on radios. The ones that had tv and satellites had access to only few occasional live and past recorded games here and there. Majority of what was available then were sport highlights and discussion shows like mastersport, the best of football, Football made in Germany, Gillette world sport etc. No one was watching 90mins of Ronaldo week in and week out.

Joezinho:
I still wish R9 left Barca for RM… Serie A was hellhole back then. Dude played in the era when tackling from behind was allowed and
the brutal physicality of Serie A cost him a lot .

His peak is the highest in football probably tied with Pele & Maradona’s peaks. After injury, he was still above the rest. That is what makes R9 so special. That’s my 🐐

This line keeps getting repeated but it doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Other strikers and great players were also playing in that hellhole of serie A and doing quite well. Baggio a great player played in that same league and was magnificent for a long time same with Zidane and a host of other stars like Bierhoff, Crespo, Batistuta one of my favorite striker of all time and even lesser known players. So what you are basically saying is that Ronaldo couldn't cut it in the strongest league at the time and he should have stayed in an easier league like La Liga.

Anyone who lived in Nigeria throughout the 90s and early 2000s and claims they watched even 30% of the full 90 minute matches Ronaldo played during that period is simply a fat liar. 30% is even a generous number.

Sportsweb:
Are you being funny or what? That Mbappe will tear acl to drop that number or what?

The same era in which unknown players were regularly putting up 31, 29 and 27 goals, yet we are supposed to believe Mbappe would tear his ACL to reach similar numbers. Some arguments simply aren't worth wasting your time on.

Illimitable:
Antonio Pizzi of Tenerife. He was 27.

Ronaldo was 20.

TWENTY!!!!!

So a nobody like Antonio Pizzi playing for Tenerife scored 31league goals just one year prior to Ronaldo scoring 34 yet somehow Mbappe would tear Acl to score similar numbers in that Era. It's all good bro.
