England has actuy witnessed some ridiculous strikers. Rank the following

spillo1:
If I remember correctly Rooney had 160+ league goals at 26yrs old. What a wasted potential .

True. As a teenager, I thought he was Ballon d'or material.

Melvyn11:
It's a combination of lack of understanding and conspiracy theorists. Some people think 5g causes cancer, which isn't true and there's also a conspiracy theory that 5G is the cause or helps transmit Covid-19 which is also a lie.

People believe it to such a degree that some are actually burning the towers down in Europe.

What is up with everyone afraid of 5g and creating controversial about it?

Jokerman:
Imagine someone picking MSN over MXI... Even I a non Barcelona player knows the truth... If not for Jose, that team would have won back to back to back UCL....

Imagine someone picking Suarez over Eto'o just because the former serves Messi like a feeding bottle ... Eto'o that change Barcelona fortunes with ronaldinho and Deco... Ok o...

Iniesta > Laudrup anyday....

Messi fans though... Another one is still talking about Ronaldo... Wetin he do una

If you are not comfortable with people opinion and choice then keep shut. For the fact you think your choice is the right one just shows are myopic you are.

hinohsend:
Suarez



Iniesta, close though.



Messi by far. Most important coach and person in Barça's history is Cruyff though.

Edit: Messi is the most important person in Barca's history.

You all are confusing player for person. The most important person who set us on our path to success we are enjoying now is Cruyff.

hinohsend:
Barca didn't win trophies because of their philosophy, sure it played a role, but the main reason Barca won was because they had great players like Messi, Xavi and İniesta. After Cruyff left Barca went trophyless from '99- '04. Before Ronaldinho, Deco, Eto'o and co, majority of whom ere not from LaMasia- brought success.

Ok

How you guys gave Chad all the glory still baffles me

Chad don't even deserve any glory. That country have been sleeping on Boko Haram until recently when their solders were killed and decided to wake up from their slumber.Boko Haram had been using their territory to launch attacks for a long time. If they had done their part since we would have recorded much progress.

FirstbornWds:
Educate me please

Don't worry bro.

Brother, Cryuff:s philosophy was great. It won us trophies no fount but trust me, Messi made the difference. Spain did greatly adapting to that style but it really didn't last. Check out how far they gave faired since winning the Euros. They have always been the need to have some sort of outstanding player(s) to get the job done. Iniesta was Spain's talisman then. But when he started declining and couldn't penetrate upfront as much as he did in the past, they started declining.

The same can be said about Guardiola's style and implementation in Bayern and Man City(early days). There really wasn't an exceptional olayer to get it done even while they held more possession.

Arsene whenger adopted the same but he really couldn't conquer the global stage.

Same goes for Real Madrid Lopetugi.. He implemented the style well enough but there was no exception to it.

Forgive me, I don't mean to be rude to Cryuff's philosophy but I just need to be plain as it should be. Messi made it quite a big deal than he, the implementer. Even Guardiola did it better at Barcleona

Spain was successfully Yes or No? And Iniesta was never Spain talisman. Do you know the meaning of talisman? Bro like I said let's not go back and forth on this issue. You say Messi and I respect that.

FirstbornWds:
We are

Ok let's not go back and forth on this issue even though you are verrrrrrrrrrrrrry very wrong.

FirstbornWds:
I know Laudrup. Of course, I do respect him as a worthy competitor, but trust me, I'll pick Iniesta anytime. Man, this guy was a beast. He was just partially unlucky to have played with other great players ( in the name of Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and the likes).


Iniesta had in the past single-handedly won games for Barcelona than Laudrup, not only that. The former was more of a possesive, playmaker and even scorer than Laudrup.

Truth is, I'll practically say Iniesta was a refined version of Zidane than Laudrup would be.

Are we talking about the same Laudrup?

FirstbornWds:
Cruff's philosophy was not really effective until Messi came into the picture( at least not in the global European stage, - UCL and the likes). Cruff's might have brought in the philosophy but Messi was the major instigator and the very one that threw it into major limelight.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not downplaying his contribution but I'm only saying Messi has been the major click to making sure that the philosophy was a bomb. Xavi and Iniesta were also a major contribution too.

You can as well consider other team's that have upheld that kind of philosophy and check out their achievement, without Messi.

So yes, Messi is a more important player to Barcelona's history than Cyruff.

We won numerous league titles and a champions title before Messi came into the picture all thanks to Cruyff and his philosophy. We also won another champions league before Messi became the man main. All that was possible because of the philosophy Cruyff laid down. Without Messi we probably would have a different player there not as good but he would fit within our philosophy and we still win trophy's, not as much as now but we will still be a top club. All you have to do is look at the success of Spain.

FirstbornWds:
Iniesta....... That guy was a brilliant playmaker and an all-round player.

Call me old school but laudraup was a beast. He is our own version of Zidane. As awesome as Iniesta I will pick laud.

peterd53:
I watched d 2011 ucl final just this past week. I will pick prime Messi-Xavi-iniesta over any trio.

We were not dominant away from home with Prime Messi Xavi and Iniesta in the Champions league. 2015 Prime MSN team had arguably the greatest European Football run in a single season. At one point, we won 12 out of 13 home and AWAY big games in 2015. Atletico x 5, RM x 2, PSG X 2, City x 2, Bayern, Juve. I don't think we had that sort of results dominance even in 2011 or 2009.

FirstbornWds:
Lol... I think we already know the answer. No disrespect to the other player... His ideology was awesome

I didn't say best player or greatest I said most important.
The "most important person" in Barcelonas history to me is Cruyff. Every time. Without Cruyff, we don't have our philosophy. We don't have possession-based football. We don't have the Golden Generation. There is *literally* no La Masia without Cruyff.

Cruyff's contribution to the club is unrivaled in history.

Most important player in Barca history.

Suarez vs Eto who are you taking

Laudraup vs Iniesta who do you think was better for barca.

Here's an actual tough question:

Would you take prime Messi - Xavi - Iniesta (2011) or prime MSN (2015)?

Melvyn11:
China has about 98% percent of the rare metals in the World. If they decide to shut down their export none of you Will Be able to buy a phone for example. In the past they shut down their export for one specific metal (can‘t remember which) and it‘s stock prices rose up about 700%. China is already more powerful than you all think and they are (economically speaking) the most powerful nation in the World already.

If China becomes world power Africa will benefit greatly especially the Eastern sides.

Sorry is the expert guy not a United fan or he doesn't know man United fans are called scummies ?

[color=royalblue]Errors?

Faking yoir own infection, calling out the NCDC for not attending to you is an error?
Do you know the ridicule this stupid boy put the NCDC into?

Even the Empire actor(can't remember his name now) was arrested for faking his own attack. Maybe the USA was asking for much

Bro, I'd appreciate if you only quote me on issues concerning sports. Our thinking outside sports are two parallel lines. They never meet

He had a brief moment of madness but who hasn't? Did he hurt anyone in the process, No. He is just a clout chaser whose clout backfired ten fold and the clapback he has gotten so far is enough lesson for him. Una sabi overflog issues. He has even apologized severally but some of you still carry the matter for head. Just dey pray make you too no fvck up one day.

[color=royalblue]I think I'll be annoyed if Sanwo olu does nothing about this...

Heck, if I was a lawyer, I'll sue this guy (I no get money to hire one) [/color]

He acknowledged his errors and asked for forgiveness. What else do you want?

Isn't this the best time for countries to print more money and distribute. With everybody staying at home and losing their jobs they won't have to worry about inflation for a while.

We will always complain about any and everything.
A multi billion dollar company tweets that there are ventilators available to be given out for free Nigeria, currently battling the pandemic, requests support. What exactly is the issue I don't understand.

1st and 2nd world countries with well-equipped healthcare systems are being made to look useless and incompetent by Coronavirus and are begging for help for everything from mask to sanitizer and all. but we Nigerian are angry because the government are looking for help. It's mad.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]I'm talking about Nigeria

Is it lack of money or shortage that is making us beg for ventilators?

GM and Ford are building ventilators for the USA. Innoson offered to build for Nigeria.

So why are we begging for free 500 ventilators then? [/color]

You still haven't answered my question. Is it lack of money or shortage of ventilators worldwide that's making the federal government ask for more?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]The same people begging for ventilators have approved 400 units of Toyota Camry 2020 models to be shared among them

And we are here justifying our begging

Do you know how many ventilators 400 units of those cars will buy?

We really deserve the kind leaders wey we get [/color]

Do they produce ventilators in your village? Do you think It's lack of money or shortage of ventilators worldwide?

A better discussion would be between Xavi, Pirlo and Scholes not lampard/ Gerrard. And Leyqute scholes only became a midfield controller in his latter years from 2006 onward after his eye surgery.

hardeycute:
THE FG has(is) shared(ing) money to the most vulnerable ones already, maybe these one didn't apply like oga larride1 said.


What I fear about the lockdown is about to happened, it's not even a week already but people are feeling the heat and have exhausted their foodstuffs.

What other option does the federal government have if not lock down?
