steps-over is part of dribbling..ronaldinho,zidane,okocha also dribble using skills and steps over...

I bet u,Messi cannot stop the ball and beat a defender one-on-one he only run pass defenders just lyk Salah...I respect players that stop the ball and beat defenders one-on-one and do amazing stuffs lyk ronaldinho, Neymar,hazard..

Messi cannot stop the ball and dribble?

Be like say you just dey watch ball!

thorpido:
Scan results read +2 weeks so it will give you 6 weeks and not the 4 weeks you are calculating.

Plus or minus 2 weeks, you mean to say?

yusman14:
Bro u said his goals are mostly tap ins?
u are just judging cr7 base on last 2 years . .Take a look at his early seasons at real Madrid and man-u,u will know that cr7 his a better dribbler....

Hope you know that mateo kovacic is currently the world best dribbler with the highest take-ons?? stop overhyping messi

When was Ronaldo a better dribbler-- 10 step overs to beat one person doesn't make you one.

Abi?

Wallade:
I don't know that and I don't believe so. The election that saw GEJ out was postponed for some weeks but it didn't change the eventual loss to confused PMB.

Dude come on!

Don't bring politics into this...

Going by your blighted rationale, Ronaldo won nothing in 2013, but still won the balloon d'or!

Yet nobody is frothing at the mouth.

Or was Ronaldo derseved of the 3rd he polled even in this recent awards?

But people vote for this things, so they can't all be wrong...

Let Ronaldo try again next year.

Wallade:
Does extention change your final voting? What is the guarantee that the extension worked in favor of CR7

It did man, everybody knows that.

...and you know too.

Wallade:
Tell FIFA to publish the votings as presented by the captains and countries so we can be certain there was no manipulation.

Petition them naw.

In this age when the press has zero tolerance for missing anything newsworthy, it wouldn't have come out?

You grappling at thin straws unku!

Wallade:
That is an evidence that the process is manipulated, untrue and unfair representation of the voting. Hence the process is arguably perverted.

Those were some countries that made their cases known officially or publicly.

FIFA is perverted hence, their opinion on the Male World Footballer of the Year is unacceptable and counterproductive.

Balloon D'or is perverted too bah?

But when voting was extended so that Ronaldo could win, it was not perveted?

pazienza:
Messi was strategically placed 5th last season to ensure he doesn't split Modric votes.
It ensured all Messi lovers voted for Modric in protest against CR7.
It was intentional. Messi was never going to win even if he was in top 3.

He was strategically placed 5th?

What strain of weed do you smoke?

Wallade:
"However, Sudan’s coach Zdravko Lugarisic and Nicaragua’s Juan Barrera have alleged their ballots do not represent what they actually submitted.

Barrera is reported to have said: “I did not vote for Messi. I was surprised to be on the list of captains who voted for Messi and there is no explanation how it appeared there.”

Lugarisic was also listed as voting for Messi as his first choice but he has taken a screenshot to show he opted for Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah.

However FIFA insist the documents submitted by the Nicaraguan and Sudanese FAs were published correctly and arrived with official stamps. They have contacted the two FAs to inquire on the matter.

Meanwhile, the Egyptian Football Federation claim their votes, by coach Shawki Ghareeb and captain Ahmed Elmohamady, were not included in the results.

“The Egyptian Football Federation officially sent Egypt’s vote to Fifa on 15 August, four days before the deadline,” a statement by the Egyptian governing body read.

"National team captain Ahmed Elmohamady voted while the Olympic team's manager Shawki Ghareeb voted after the resignation of the coaching staff.”

It “asks Fifa why the Egyptian vote was not accepted” and has decided to open an “investigation” into the circumstances of this failure.

In response to Egypt’s complaint, a FIFA spokesperson told Reuters: “The Egyptian FA have received two reminders to submit the properly signed voting forms on 19 August 2019.

"The Egyptian FA has not submitted a response within the (limited) timeframe until Wednesday, 21 August 2019.

“Therefore, the votes from the Egyptian FA could not be counted."

After it was revealed Egypt did not cast a vote, Salah posted a message on Twitter.

He tweeted: “Whatever they do to try to change my love for Egypt, they will not succeed.”"

Of the close to 200 countries in the world, was that why he won.

3 disputed votes?

Get out, man!

pazienza:
How exactly was Modric exceptional in 17/18? Can you show me his stats in 17/18 that made him exceptional?
And don't give me the bullcrap of Modric performance not being statistics based.
He is a midfielder, show me his chances created and assists in 2017/18.

Can you show me Iniesta stat's that made him phenomenal or Zidane's?

Ronaldo only chases goals, thinking that's the hallmark... Real football enthusiasts know football is more than that...
It's not just muscles.

...it's an art!

Wallade:
Google is your friend. Ask Google!

And that was the reason he won?

And this balloon d'or?

When Messi was deemed 5th best player last year nobody died(Despite his amazing run).

Baba took it gracefully and did the talking on the pitch.

E Pele sir!

Wallade:
Did you get the information that a number of countries contested their recorded votes as presented. Egypt's votes were recorded for Messi and Egypt came out afterwards to indicate that they voted for Sarah. The excuse later presented again was that they cancelled Egypt's votes. A number of countries also complained.

In my opinion, the Male World Footballer of the Year award as organised and presented by FIFA is highly controversial and no longer a true evaluation of performance.

Name the other countries, pls.

...yen yen yen!

chocolatelady:
There is no doubt that CR7 was robbed of last year ballon dor. Apparently, ,they played politics and never wanted him to be ahead of Messi . Cr7 has all it takes to win this year especially winning trophy for his country.

Are you related to Buhari?

DarkJeddi:
Actually,the SUBCLAVIAN VESSELS are nearer the point of impact and at more risk than the Jugular vein and Carotid Artery..

Don't mind the rubbish the guy is spewing, he has been noticed!

Adiwana:
I said defensively.He had a nervy first half and gradually grew into the game. he was very bad going forward.Couldn't make the right runs and lost a lot of balls.But he improved defensively in the 2nd half. Athletics couldn't push their attacks through his position in the 2nd half

That guy shouldn't kick a ball again.
Him and Dembele-- out!

Adiwana:
Generally speaking we were very good in this game.Kept our shape and maintained solidity. To me Lenglet was our man of the match. Good game by Pique and Marc. Firpo was very poor going forward losing a lot of balls but was very solid defensively. Morata gave us a very good game but Pique and Lenglet marshalled him out of the ball. We lacked a creative midfielder and thats why we need a coach that will inspire the lost form of Coutinho and we will be firing again. Griezmann helped us a lot in maintaining our shape both going forward and backward. Messi was quiet but needs just half a chance to score. Suarez keeps on giving half mixed performances

Firpo solid?

E be like say na another match you watch.

Abeg, Semedo get injury or wetin?

Adiwana:
Valverde sold out that champions league match at Anfield.I have said it here before that Alba was our weak link in that match and all Valverde needed to do was to play our best player Vidal in the position of Coutinho to back track and help out Alba just like we did against Real Madrid then play Roberto and Semedo in the other position and we wouldve won at Anfield. Klopp saw Alba's error and pushed Liverpool's 2nd half attack through his position and foolish Valverde couldnt even adjust. We were better than Liverpool in that game especially in the first half and our daft coach just threw away a 3 goal lead. The reason he is still kept on that job,i dont know

Even a blind man could see that was all he had to do-- double up on the wings!

I hate that man die!

SarkinYarki:
This guy studied automation in Hertfordshire and besides Horacio Pagani wasnt trained in all these schools you mentioned but started as a local village Craftsman in Rural Argentina before joining Renault and then Lamborghini where he became renowned

Leave the otondo!

He doesn't know how revered panel beaters are in the automotive industry.

maestroferddi:
Dont be a local man.

The Asians nay Chinese and Indians are ubiquitous.

Even American companies are relocating to Asia because of their cheap labour cost.

You can make a case about a responsible government bringing in regulations to protect local interest but the point is that this problem is not exclusive to Nigeria.

In the same vein, Ngerians are reputed to be the best t educated national group in the US...

You win here, you are defeated there. Such is life...

What are you saying bros?

Could you simply it for a low IQ as mine?

anselm791:
.he's right jor.
and its not like there's no jobs o.
was opportune to visit the refinery lately and boy was it filled with the Chinese and Indians. it speaks volume.
the local content act didn't even apply there, which will soon bring us to the lawyers soon.

Awon smellos!

Bruv couldn't say anything again.

At least the Nigerian Doctors know how to treat malaria and 'tyvoid'

It's easy to point fingers isn't it?

Squillaci:
Na strange something to you? Na so you learn your own?
So you need lots of hours of tutoring, countless number of repetitions and exercises before you can read and understand simple Further math project abi Godman? A book you can borrow from your neighbor for a day or two? For ordinary O level. All those scanty textbooks.
You be real olodo.

Don't mind those dumb fvcks...

I wrote O levels straight out of primary school and I had A1 in Further Maths too.

I didn't even need Godman.

maestroferddi:
I will not waste my time trying to disabuse your mind from crass ignorance.

Your assertions are fully of sundry illogicalities:Best students go to medical school, according to you.

So the so-called Best students should be above censure.

Nigerian engineers are falling behind in meeting with the needs of manufacturing equipment for Nigerian healthcare system, therefore doctors are at liberty to do as they like.

At least a portion of the road that carried you to work was constructed by Nigerian engineers.

Despite your puny whimperings, I am sure Nigerian engineering has affected/touched several facets of your life today much more than you know or care to admit.

Get off the high horse and you will be better for it.

You guys should come down to earth. It is about time...

But truth is Nigerian Engineers don't do anything, or do they?

We prolly would be living like Neanderthals if not for expats!

Squillaci:
That one na 3rd class mathematician wey dey find work.
Imagine what a mathematician is reduced to? Medical imaging.

You seem quite interesting, what do you do?

KosiGee:
I only said that you should look at both sides of the coin.
In an organised country like the Uk, there are jobs, citizens work and pay tax and national insurance while a percentage of your earnings is saved for you to be accessed when you retire...In Nigeria the likes of Maina would dip their filthy hands in your life savings and flee.

Those without jobs are also not overlooked. While efforts are made to secure jobs for those capable of doing it, those who for medical or reasons of disabilities are not able to work receive financial aids.

How can the average Nigerian citizens afford those?

People will do all sorts to stay alive. I worked in healthcare Nigeria. I’ve seen a patient using stainless steel bed pan to eat. I made a report about it, explained to the patient what the bed pan was for, had it withdrawn. After a week in the private hospital, the patient was discharged, that same day, it was observed that the bed pan was stolen...

I am on your side bruv, I think I just quoted you out of context.

But that your story is the most hilarious I ever heard!

KosiGee:
While you heap blames on the patient, remember not to absolve the society and environment that made it hard for him to access affordable, safe and effective health care.

Advanced economies that you mentioned would have some healthcare insurances for their citizens. In the Uk which I think has the best healthcare system in the world, every citizen is registered with a general practitioner meaning that everybody irrespective of your economic or social class would have a doctor and access to healthcare.
I know someone with a genetic abnormality who would’ve had it very rough were this individual to be in Nigeria but instead receives the best medical care possible without paying for it.

Blame the system and structure in place that robs people of adequate medical care.

How much is the average civil servant getting a month to afford a CT scan?

Cost of admission daily in the NHS is about 800 pounds ( it was 600-800 pounds some years back).

If you call for an ambulance, 800 pounds...
A friend had to pay for an MRI once (since his NHS hospital's own was down)-- 950 pounds!

The State pays for all this!

The doctor doesn't have to rack his brain on what tests to do or not do ( because of his cheap patients).
You can do MRIs, HRCTs, CTPAs (basic things in oyibo land)-- not just malaria and typhoid!

People won't even pay for a bloody CRP in Nigeria, so the Doctor continues treating malaria and typhoid for someone whose kidneys are fried-- in Kidney failure.

If you are prosecuting a war, you don't mind your ammunitions, you fire away-- imagine being a soldier at the war front and counting your bullets.
Will you fight like the American Marine?

Even though I can't excuse the crass incompetence of the bad eggs, the good Nigerian Doctors and a significant number of them are decent, are counting their bullets.

What do the nationals then expect?
Miracles?

You expect Oyinbo standard at Surulere rates?

philip0906:
Complete bullocks!

You people think it is everybody in Nigeria that is poor. Some of us can pay for quality healthcare, some of us have comprehensive healthcare packages from our work place...but you know what, we'll pass on that.

The news is littered daily with gross incompetence from Nigerian doctors who have either misdiagnosed or applied wrong treatment regimen in patients leading to deaths and all. Thousands of Nigerians loose their lives yearly to doctors gross incompetence.

The Nigerian doctor is an empty nut head who is more interested in the prestige his Dr tittle accords him/her than getting the job done the right way.

You think your president, lawmakers and wealthy Nigerians who go outside the country for proper healthcare are silly? I won't even go near Nigerian doctors for a simple diagnosis... Incompetent lots

I have actually spoken with Foreign Nationals, who have worked with Nigerians (Doctors) abroad, and I must say they are highly rated.

One Doctor says, she has never worked with any Naija Doctor that didn't know his stuff.
He might not know how some 'equipments' work ( and you know how everything is now tech based in the West), but he knows the stuff.

Another (a Brit) asked a Naija guy in my presence, ' they must really train you guys well back home?'
The guy asks if they didn't train her well in her obodo oyibo, then she rolls her eyes and scoffs.
We joked about it later that Naija boys don kee this one with stuff.

Sad thing about healthcare is people will die, it is inevitable.

I laugh when people say, 'I will just travel out and see a Doctor!'
I come from a family of Doctors and I know the number of people that have died due to all sorts of avoidable events in the West-- it is only the informed that will know.

That said, they try to create systems (constantly) to grossly reduce such events.

If it were perfect there, why do you have hundred of thousands of litigations every year in the US?

Some US surgeon pays as much as 20% of their income as 'litigation' insurance.
Truth is every man is a product of his system-- you can never do better than the system you are in.

I spoke with a foremost British-Nigerian Surgeon and he surmised his expertise was based on equipment and exposure, nothing more.

There is no Genius, one-man army anywhere, your system molds you.

How many professionals here, can hold their own against professionals from the West?

How many?

If you can't, then you are no better!

He should calm down and box. He should not go there and try to bully or knock the champion out. He should use science, jabs, defence and leg work to beat Ruiz.

Unfortunately he has no leg work and no jab.
