Next time, don't just jumped into a conversation like a fool. We were talking about early World cup n few games with facts.

Your folly brain couldn't come up with a superior argument, that is, 6 matches for 1930 world cup finalists.

Kiddo, run along and swim in your folly

shut your stinking mouth, i'm not your mate in any way...

i quoted you with world cup facts...
you choose to ignore it...


tell me why you're so pained about the first world cup 1930.... no footballer from 1930 is still alive, pele wasn't even born in 1930....

you dont want to address the point of 2026 playing more games than this present world cup,....

idont quote me again if you have nothing else to say, else you'll regret your life, i will deal with you...

because i'm laughing with you doesnt mean , we're on same level, rubbissh...

hisses. cow

phemmyfour:
One game difference?

You must be foolish

Check 1930 World cup stat

Group stage>>Semi final>>final

Some groups had 3 teams, that's 2 games at group stage instead of 3

same will happen in the champions league group matches will increase from 6 to 10... so that means this current one will become mini and 2024 ucl will become too difficult to win according to you...

phemmyfour:

Check 1930 World cup stat

you're the foolish one here.. Dont you know football federation is always experimenting with different format, you don't expect the format to remain the same, that the format changes doesnt mean its now harder to win...

in 1930, 3 teams back down, so they played 5 matches, that's just 2 match difference...

however later it was adjust to[b] 6 matches[/b]..


in 2026, it will be 8 matches, and each group will have just 3 teams , just like in 1930..

so that means this world cup will become mini world cup, and it will become harder to win....dont be a coward explain this part and dont dodging it...ode

phemmyfour:
Don't mind them

The first three world cups, I don't think the winner played up to five matches to get to the final

You're just as dumb as the poster...

Bro it's quite notable that as every competition progresses more teams are given space...

Back then it was 6 games
now it's 7 games just one game difference...
next world cup the winner will play 8 games

by then this world cup will become mini world cup to upcoming fans...

The same thing will happen to the UCL... number of matches will increase from 2024...

So watch your mouth

babajero:
This is where you people get it all wrong, goals only doesn't make someone a better player, if not ronaldo would have been the king of the world with all his goals. Both mbape and halland are making the same mistake ronaldo made focusing on only scoring goals forgetting about the playmaking, even at Messi's age he can't be benched for mbape or halland, because he is a complete footballer. At mbape and halland age Messi have already carried the champions league, la liga, copa de rey, and also won World best/balon d'or.

For over a decade now Messi has maintained goal scoring ability, assist ability, playmaking ability, dribbling ability, passing ability. He is just a complete player.

Bro you've changed the topic.. you said it's was easier to win world cup then than now.. because of no var

babajero:
Please tell me any one match that Argentina would have lost without penalty?

so they didnt get penalties in almost every match... i thought var is meant supposed to prevent goals...and without var more magu-magu goals will be scored..

babajero:
if no VAR Argentina goals would have been very many, let's use the match against Saudi Arabia as an example, without VAR all of them would have counted as goals.

With VAR that Maradona's celebrated "hand of god" would have earned him straight Red card and some match ban.

Football was easier in the olden days, now they are playing against Man and technology. In the olden days the penalty awarded to France wouldn't happen.

What of all the penalities awarded to Argentinos.. ode, you dodge that one.. next world cup, all referees will be robots and ai.

Football will become tougher, and this world cup will be termed too easy...by kids..

babajero:
What has mbape and halland achieved compared to Messi?.

Maradona scored it and it stood, please what happened when Messi did same.

Boy mbappe and halaand are still young... They had more goals at 21 than Messi and CR7 combined at same age despite playing in var era..

At mbappe and halaand age, they had very little achievement...

And yes Messi goal with his hand in 2007 stood, just like maradona the referee didn't see it..check it up ..

Like I said watch your mouth, so you don't expose too much

The way you guys hype this var thing... You easily forget that it was created in just 2018.... And Messi scored a lot of goals and won lots of trophies without it..

Let me also remind you mbappe and halaand started their career with var... While Messi didn't so that means he played a more easier football compared to halland and mbappe ..

Maradona scored with hands, that same goal was also replicated by messi

So watch your mouth... What goes around comes around....

nateDZA:
U dey mind this pendulum fans...when Arje was 2-0 up them say na fixed match, FIFA don rigg am for Messiah but when the Africans in France Jersey level up 2-2 e no come be fixed match again... as e enter 3-2 them resume the balablu fixed match carty again & when it was 3-3 story change again

Imagine & all the p.k weh d france boy play, Arje goal keeper follow d right direction even touch the ball, d boy just lucky the keeper no stretch enough to block all hin p.k shots, Shingban e for no see.

their famous line "messi is nothing without Xavi & Iniesta"
Funny them don shift world best title now from Cristy head knack am on top Mba...the latest one now na say make e go win am 3 times like pele weh play during era of very poor officiating, too much wuruwuru & ojoro time weh nobody reason say we fit birth the idea of anything like VAR.

So Pele use ojoro to win 3 world cups?? I hear .. var that gives cheap penalities for small touch... isn't that wuruwuru

... In Pele era, no red card, if defender foul you, you get up.

Also No substitutions, if you get injured your team can't replace you..

So you better close your mouth..

babajero:
EOD. .

referees and VAR did ALL the dirty work...

wolebest:
The first World Cup Final I watched was in 1978 Argentina vs Holland but this final Argentina vs France is the greatest of all finals.

A Six goals thriller of a game at 3 goals a piece. It was not a game to miss and watch live. It was tension soaked. You can see passion and commitment in the eyes of the two teams.

Tactical changes by the coaches really made the game spectacular.

Messi and Mbappe are world class players no doubt.

What are you saying 2018 final had 6 goals too with no penalties.. I don't get the hype about this finals.. seriously ...

babajero:
tell me the person and tell me how many champions league and world best the person won.

he didn't play in Europe so no champions league and nothing like world best in his time.. it didn't exist

DaveJacuzie:
A world cup in this generation equals 6 world cups in Pele's Era.

1 world cup in Pele era equals 12 today.... because they were no awarding cheap penalities... Lol

pacespot:
I tell you, the World Cup that only about 8 or 12 countries dey play then, there was nothing like offside

Kid look it up offside was harsher in Pele era you had to be before 2 defenders not 1 like today.

You're just inversely making mockery of this world cup filled with cheap penalities for every slight touch ..

In Pele era back tackles were allowed...

And world cup was 16 countries not 12 or 8..

it later increase to 32... Next year it will be 48...

And later 64 countries...And kids will call this one mini-world cup

so keep talking trash...

DaveJacuzie:
A world cup in this generation equals 6 world cups in Pele's Era.

Can you tell me how it equals 6 You're just being jealous of king Pele 3 world cups... I can see your pains

Almiron:
Maradona didn't win Copa America
Pele didn't win European titles
Ronaldo didn't win UCL
Cryuff didn't win the World Cup
Cristiano didn't win the World Cup

Messi won it all

G

Pele didnt win european titles.. did he play in europe.. you're so dumb

seunny4lif:
He is the greatest oooh
How can someone win 3 out 5 world cups, he participated.
That’s madness
His injuries in the QF denied Brazil of that year World Cup.

Point of correction: 3 out of 4 world cups

smart8956:
Op you're very wrong on this.
I'm a medical student and a senior developer. I won't boost about my capabilities, I've work with bending spoon ( a popular coding company in Milan, Italy), I'm a Nigerian so please don't say Nigerians are lazy again!

Spending 12+ hrs a day without good income is a waste. Are you learning or you're working for a company? Myself I barely sleep 3-4hrs a day, so do your calculations you'll see in 24hrs what I invest the time on. Medical and coding!
Can you combine medical school with programming? It's like sucide, so don't ever mention Nigerians are lazy.
For me i do it because first, "passion" in medical field, and second, because of my "needs". Medical school won't give me the money I want in life, infact medical student are one of the most poorest people in the world because they invest all of their time studying unending medical courses while digital guys are cashing out on daily basis.

Programming and anything tech is like drug,oil and blood money. It doesn't have limit. Right now I'm doing project for masters degree student who came to me for assistance and willing to pay what I demand.
In fact, in the whole of Africa, Nigerians are the most hardworking people, reason they do very well once they step out of the country. America, Europe, Asia and other African countries employ more Nigerians than any other black country. You hardly see a professor from South Africa, Cameroon, Egypt or Kenya teaching in foreign countries. You also hardly see their doctors In foreign countries. But check well, any institutions or hospital abroad you see a black lecturer and a doctor, it's likely he/she is a Nigerian.

Despite restrictions etc, till-date USA,UK, South Africa, Europe.... are still employing Nigerians and no limit. The same is in business, Nigerians excel. Reason the xenophobic in SA because Nigerians once they see opportunities dig in and they invite their brothers to join them. This from experience differentiate us from other African countries who don't love their brothers outside the continent . But if a Nigerian see a follow Nigerian abroad, brother what's up ... they'll identify, before you know connection and both of them are into same job. If you quote me wrong, check in any company outside, you'll see not 1 Nigerian but many of them. So OP Mr programmer, Nigerians are not lazy it's the government who made people to look as if they're lazy. Nigeria is rising. Here in Canada they're many.

to tell you the truth, Nigerians are not lazy but unserious and complacent...that is the reason for the bad govt.. if we're serious we won't allow bad governance but we allow and embrace it.

Lannister360:
There is a problem Nigerians like you have, you think you are the only one working hard and everyone else is lazy. You are a kid who still lives with his mama, if you pay any bill yourself you won't come to Nairaland to cap rubbish. Mama's boy.

you just behave like a typical nigeria refusing to accept the bitter truth. so its's only nigerians that pay rent? indians dont eat or pay rent?? its only you that pay rent and bills others dont?
Take a look at the screenshots if nigerians are so hardworking like you claim, how come Nigerians have more percentage of users which scored 0 in hackerrank than even indians, philipines, egypt, south africa and vietman??

or are all the programmers in these conutries dont struggle to pay rent and feed??

efficiencie:
You stylishly ignored the fact I mentioned in the post...how will you can explain that Nigerians record the highest proportion of participants in the Applied Data Science Lab programme at World Quant University? Explain that first!

and is it difficult to get admission?? the payment is free and the admission exams is a breeze. I answered everything in 10 mins.. keep deceiving yourself. Nigerians are lazy. what this post said is true and you cant prove otherwise...

Lannister360:
I suppose you are still a child who have enough time and still leaves with his mama, you are being fed and clothed, you don't worry about rent, that's why you can come here on nairaland to call Nigerians lazy, there are tons of programmers in Nigeria. I know this because I am a programmer too, but I don't judge people who cannot learn, I've tutored students on programming in the past and I tell you that there are so many factors that affect their learning curve, most of my students who do well are the ones with no responsibilities, undergraduate students and corpers

I don't expect you to understand, I think you are still a kid.

for your info, i feed my self too and pay my rent. and face many health challenges but that doesn't stop me from learning programming,..so cut that crap and stop saying what you don't know...

I never said nigerians are lazy, did i

i said they're unserious and too complacent including you ,

that's why they cant compete with their counterparts in indians, it has nothing to do with paying rent, or you think programmers in india don't pay rent...

this is another problem with nigerians, not accepting criticism but instead looking for what to blame and is one thing holding them back...

Lannister360:
Indians are far better off when in comes to electricity and standard of living, India has steady electricity, stop talking rubbish just to support your yeye opinion.
Programming isn't that difficult, most Nigerian science graduates can easily learn it if given the basic things they need, coding isn't harder than a semester in Engineering/maths/physics and the likes

There is no place in indian that has 24 hours electricity.

10 years ago indian was the poverty capital of the world and way worse than Nigeria but they still produce programmers 10x better than Nigeria programmers.

Nigerians are just naturally unserious...

tell me how a country that crack a lot of jokes, play too much, and eat heavy food will be good in coding

Lannister360:
What are you even saying? You think you're the only one who is discipline enough to learn programming? Nigerians are not lazy people,
Things are difficult for a lot of people and most people do not have 12H to spend looking at the laptop learning to code.

People need to make money in other to feed and pay for rent, not everyone is living with their parents and have the time to stare at a screen for 12H.

There is also the problem of electricity and money to buy laptop. For others, while trying to learn how to code, they keep working about money and where their next meal will come from. How do you expect them to focus and be able to learn properly?

Stop comparing Nigerians with people in Canada and US who have the basic things in life, most Nigerians do not.

stop that.. indians are not better off than nigerians in terms of electricity and standard of living. but because the people are serious, they achieved a lot and way ahead of nigeria in coding.

like you said most nigerians are only concerned about what they'll eat hence feel learning anything complicated is a waste of time, they'll rather get into scams to make quick money..

thebosstrevor1:
The question is who created those hacking tools?

Who are the people hacking bank networks and transferring money out various accounts?

Who are the people hacking crypto firms and stealing tokens worth millions of dollars?

and how many yahoo boys in nigeria can hack bank or crypto firms how many of them can create hacking tools if you're talking about scammers in russia, or china ill understand but for nigerian yahoo boys, never..

benqo01:
OP UR WRITE UP WAS COOL,BUT PLEASE STOP THE GENERALIZATION, NIGERIANS ARE NOT LAZY PEOPLE.

REMEMBER PEOPLE STILL MAKE LEGITIMATE MONEY ONLINE BE IT ON YOUTUBE AND OTHER SOCIAL MEDIA SPACES.

IF THE COUNTRY WAS TO BE IN GOOD SHAPE, TECHNOLOGY DRIVEN,I BELIEVE THAT WILL GO A LONG WAY TO HELP LOT OF NIGERIANS OUT THERE.

Nigerians are not lazy people but very complacent and unserious people. Just hire a nigeria to do a soft work for you, be it writing, or coding, or marketing, and you'll understand what im saying

efficiencie:
You are wrong. I am currently participating in the Applied Data Science Lab conducted by World Quant University and Nigerians make up the highest proportion of participants in that programme. This is a fact. Nigerians are extreme people. Whatever they do, good or bad, they take it to the extremes. From corruption to coding, Nigerians are at the forefront. From ritual killing to bagging 5.0 CGPA Nigerians nor dey carry last. Perhaps the Nigerians you have spent most of your time knowing are ritualists and yahoo folks. Perhaps you want to step out of your circle.

please let me laugh small who gave you the idea that nigeria is at the forefront in programming or in corruption ...

Thank Goodness you said nigeria doesn't carry last, imagine a kid in school happy about not carrying last.

it means that child is not far away from the last. that talk about Nigerians going to the extreme in everything is bullshit. nigerians that are usually very complacent. Please say another bullshit to my ears.

Nigeria isn't even top 20 in the world for programmers..so tell me how they take coding to the extreme?? what am i saying, top 50 and you wont find Nigeria. lo

dapojaja:
Like someone mentioned somewhere, it'll start will junior dev roles and as time goes on some senior dev jobs will be affected. After a long time as AI generally will be very much advanced, bro this whole world we'll be a sorry case. There will be less need for soldiers, farmers, teachers, even musicians and househelps. Yes that's where the damn thing is going.
Eventually there'll be justification to reduce world population. It's unfortunately going to be as bad as that.

please tell them, most people are saying arguing that A.I is only going to make life easier and make us smarter. Not knowing it will do the complete opposite.

in the next 20 to 50 years, we'll become endangered species in the hands of Artificial intelligence.. the only thing stopping A.I now is the infrastructure. and equipments once they get the required funding they need. .. it will be a sorry time for humans.

von02:
Forget all these talks about chatGPT replacing developers and the rest, this is how they hyped GitHub copilot taking over jobs from developers, but in reality it's the same developers using these tools to make development easier and developers are still getting hired, what's our major threat is the massive layoffs going on due to the hyper inflation

keep deceiving yourself. so many jobs in history have come and gone. think of typewriting company, phone call centers, town criers all these jobs no longer. they were sent into extinction by tech. now A.I is an upgrade of normal tech. it can learn and think for itself, mind you its still in beta stage (under development) imagine how smart it when it be 2 -3 yrs from now, as A.I learns with the speed of light.

whether you like it or not, A.I will disrupt the industry and send many developers home.

airsaylongcome:
I read a response on Reddit to a similar question. The response said:

“Should mathematicians be worried about the digital calculator?

Nope. It helps to calculate the minutia more quickly allowing their brains to focus on the more difficult aspects of equations.

This may help you to nail that async function you just can't seem to figure out and slow you to focus your time on the more human aspects of the job.”

And it makes a lot of sense. ChatGPT is just a tool much like Google is a tool. It will allow devs to focus on the more complicated high level stuff such as program design leaving the mundane low-level of writing actual code to something that can be automated

bro, digital calculator is not an AI. It cant think. the thing with a.i is how it can improve and communicate like humans. wait even mathematicians jobs are not safe with A.I.... people like to underate A.I.
