This Ekong is an ïdiot

Safari mumu come and yab those of us who were telling us the truth based on reality.

We're not holding up the midfield even though Croatia isn't playing thru the middle which is surprising.

I'm just wondering if we are just playing safe. Ighalo can't do the job as a lone striker in this formation if Moses and Iwobi aren't cutting in and supplying the balls.

But my main concern is just us not seizing the initiative in the middle of the park

Horlaboy51:
Help me tell HoopLA o. Make i just see Portugal should draw the other two match

Please stop filling my mentions with useless posts.

You haven't said anything of note all day.

Leave me alone.

LeoFish92:
The way you've been going about this your argument, as if Messi must score a hattrick because Ronaldo did....

Football is all about circumstances, Ronaldo Scored one freekick yesterday after how many previous attempts?

Remind me how many goals Ronaldo scored against this same Iceland when they met at the Euros,

Argentina even made it to the World Cup cos of Messi, don't roast him cos of one bad game.

Negroe
Stop being a hypocrite

If Messi scored a hat trick and Ronaldo missed a penalty and ended up scoreless, irrespective of the opposition, I'm sure we won't see this useless epistle from you. It is your type who will tell us how Messi is the GOAT without an international title.

It must be pretty hard seeing Messi sleepwalk through another drab performance in the World Cup so you must become professorial to explain why Messi can't beat a part time film maker from 12yards; as if Messi hasn't had a history of blowing opportunities at international level.

You asked me to remind you how many goalsRonaldo scored against Iceland. At least he willed his team to win that Tournament and he didn't miss from 12yards.

Messi couldn't even hit target from three free kicks. Ronaldo scored to bring his team level against the best keeper in the world.

Stop being butt hurt and hopeMessi is inspired to play well against Croatia instead of this sad platter of excuses you are serving here.

Ronaldo showed you how it's done and Messi went on ghost mode. Simples.
If you can't accept it, tough luck.

Horlaboy51:
Then compare Messi's Barca record to Mueller's Bayern Munchen record... lul!

We all know he is not performing well with the National team in terms of goals but he is still a great player compared to Mueller

Lol.
This dense thing filling up my mentions.

You no get sense walahi.

Go and check the meaning of the word "perspective" then apply it to why I brought in Müeller

You are beyond daft. Let me guess. A product of handout education.

Iamthoney:
So yesterday was the first time Ronaldo was playing a world cup match abi? Messi had a bad day like every other big players do sometimes. Did you watched the last world cup? no other Argentina player scored more than a goal but he scored 4 times...Before yesterday Ronaldo had just 3 world cup goals now he has 6 so stop saying Messi haven't been raising his game for Argentina. Portugal are a better team than Argentina.. without Ronaldo for most of the game at the last euro final they still defeated France...they are more organized than Argentina. When Messi don't turn up for Argentina they become bunch of mediocres. They narrowly qualified to this world cup because of Him. The team don't play to his strength...it's sad this might just be his last outing with his national team

Another dumb response.

The supposed best player in the world can't raise his team to beat a debutant team made up of a good number of Part timers.

Now the 5 times World best player in the world is waiting for the team to be built around his strengths instead of leading them to world titles like Maradona did in 86

No disrespect but all I see above are excuses for Messi.
With all the talent Messi has around him he can't perform. At least Portugal doesn't have the personnel Argentina possesses yet they have won one continental trophy and finished runner up in another.

blackaxe78:
He is doing no work!

The team has been built around him.

Lol.
These Messimaniacs will say anything.

They won't remind you how he blew their Copa America chances with another penalty miss vsChile in the 2016 finals.

chiboy1116:
Ronald had 3 gols B4 ynight.....so muller is better Dan a man dat single handedly brought Argentina to the WC? MESSI HAD A BAD GAME BUT LETS NOT FORGET RONALDO HASN'T BEING IMPRESSIVE FOR HIS COUNTRY EITHER . Messi is wat keeps this Argentina team going ....but the mistake sampaoli made was to leave d captain armband with him ... Messi has set the bar so high dat he has to win d world cup to b d greatest . Obviously Ronaldo is a great player ...if Messi has scored a hatrick today Nd goes home with the golden ball again ...he still wouldn't b considered by some as the greatest ,but Ronaldo scored a hatrick Nd is already considered d better player ,that's the difference btw this two guys .Ronaldo sure has the greatest PR team ever in sports .



Messi should quit taking pks ,he admitted that taking pk is his main problem in football Nd tries to get better, he should HV given it to aguero or mascherano . the

Who said Müeller was better?
Don't you know what the word "perspective" means?
I brought Müeller in to show how relatively poorMessi has been by the standards he set for himself in winning 5 World player of the year titles.
But dullards like you will misread, misinterprete and generally miss the point I am making.

Ronaldo not impressive?
Someone who has scored in 8 consecutive major tournaments. Oldest player to bag a hat trick ina World Cup.Someone with a European championship medal and one runner-up medal?

Ogbeni you don't have to quote me.

@somehow,
Messi has a history of bottling big time at the international big stage.

No be today.

Horlaboy51:
Just leave the Penaldo's fans

He was Penaldo when he scored the free kick yesterday.

No wonder Nigerian politicians keep shïttingon us.

tsharp:
He won golden ball 4 years ago where Ronaldo was shit. Messi is the GOAT. Take it or leave it.

Yes
GOAT with only 5 total goals in 4 World Cup appearances spanning 16 games.

Even Thomas Müellerscored5 in Brazil in 2014 and another 5 in South Africa in2010

Your opinion. Don't force it on me without facts

somehow:
Not doing ronaldo messi comparison. Both aren't even doing the same job for their national team.

Just remove Messi's goals from Argentina even though they have more than 2 standard strikers. How come he's even ahead of these known strikers goal wise?

All the finals they have been to, he had to do 110% to get them there but you cant always do it alone.

He's expected to do all the jobs for them. Which is killing the national team. All the same, their bad work-rate should continue until we play them in this worldcup.

You may have a point but I'm saying Messi still hasn't largely delivered at the international stage.

I could even argue that if you take him out of the National side it would force them to become better.

I brought the Ronaldo comparison because I only wanted to highlight the role of a talisman in a side. Ronaldo did all he could to make sure Portugal did not lose to a recent World Cup winner. Messi could not do anything to lift his side from drawing with World Cup debutants.

Messi has a grand total of 5 World Cup goals in all his appearances. Let that sink in. Thomas Müeller scored 5 in each of his two appearances in the same stage.

Messi cannot absolve himself of the malaise in that Argentina side.

And for the record Argentina have lots of strikers they could have used. Icardi didn't even go to Russia in spite of his play this season

Horlaboy51:
Go and start plying your football trade. Can't you just enjoy the football Messi tried his best and you can see that now

Don't be an îdiot.

The 5time world player of the year cannot manage to inspire his side to beat Ice Block and you are here chatting rubbish.

Messi has been underperforming at the international stage for the past decade and you are here telling me nonsense.
only 5 goals in 4 World Cup competitions and you are yarning dust. Yet you want me to categorize him as the best in the world when Maradona scored 5 inoneworld cup alone.

Please don't infect me with your mumu

Horlaboy51:
Just say you are jealous of Messi's Argentina. Are you trying to compare Iceland Defensive ability to Spain Defense? You know yourself now. Portugal scored their shot on target including keepers fault and penalty. Spain fought hard for all the goal scored nah. I know you knew but just trying to compare both great player

Dense response at best.

Spain had the best goalie in the world.
Ramos and Pique are two of the world' best center backs.
Jorda Alba is first choice left back at Barcelona where Messi plays.

But when Messi has a chance to score from the spot against a team of Part time footballers and he misses I am the one who is jealous.

I would have labeled you stupîd but everyone has access to the internet.

Ronaldo scored a hat trick against a top 10 side in world football, but you suddenly want me to buy the notion that Iceland is now a power house o world football

Oga shift. Use your head before you reply. All I put there are basic facts and if you can't live with them then face front and stay in your lane.

sogodihno:
.

you should know that this kind of opposition are even more difficult to score from, that's what they came to the field to do and their defense is so coordinated, trust me Spain defense is not as coordinated as this guys

Oga please don't lecture me.

Where is Iceland ranked in FIFA's latest ranking?

Before today, did you think Iceland stood a chance vs almighty Argentina?

And what stopped Messi from scoring against a part time film maker from 12 yards while Ronaldo could beat arguably the best keeper in the world from the same spot kick and also from a 25 yard free kickin the same game?

I don't engage in needless talk. Iceland is still not a quality side.

Ronaldo: No Benzema, No Bale, No Modric, No kroos
Has decent national teammates no one really can call stars
Played against arguably the best keeper and some great names; NO PROBLEMS

Messi: No Suarez, No Busquets, No Iniesta.
Has top quality national teammates: Aguero et al
Played against a team of Part timers including those who are phone operators, dentists and filmmakers in their day job.
NO SHOW.

Just take Messi out of Barcelona and he is another Tijani Babangida
After all Ronaldo did it at Man United and Real.

Messi is just a local champion

somehow:
The same messi that single handedly qualified them for the world cup by going to Ecuado to score 3 goals? (hattrick)?

Problem is, they rely too much on him in Argentina while the rest go to sleep. Chemistry is surely missing in their squad.

Messi is a victim of his own success.

Partly agree with you. And partly disagree.

Messi I think simply hasn't raised his game at the World Cup or even at the copa America: the biggest competitions.

As someone with 5 WPOTY he should in my opinion be the driving force of this Argentina side. Ronaldo showed us yesterday what responding to expectation of a nation means against a top side.

Shining in qualifying is different from doing it at the real tournament. Iceland has players that are part time. No excuse for not beating them if you have Messi in your side.

I agree with you when you speak of chemistry issues but I think Argentina over the last decade or so have too much talent at their disposal and the managers/coaches of the national side over this period just picks stars (possibly to make his job easier) instead of functional players who can play together.

oshe11:
Its easier for Man city to Win an attacking team than a defensive team

Don't know what you're implying

Sanchez01:
See, just enjoy the tournament and don't put Nigeria at heart too much.

Messi's Goal Attempt today - 10 (Scored 0)
Ronaldo's Goal Attempt yesterday - 4 (Scored 3)

I will not say anything

Bros you've already said everything without saying anything. And I agree with you.
Ronaldo all day.

You didn't even add the quality of opposition. Makes Messi look worse.

Messi is having a shitty stinker and it's not funny.

ipledge10:
This is 100 %. I didn’t know how great Charles Barkley was until I read about him.I didn’t know this cos he has no ring. Dude made 5 all NBA first team, and 5 all NBA second.

He once led the league in rebounds.
What is remarkable about that fact is that he's only 6'4"/6'5"

Dude was great.

Waiting for the Cavs fans and their excuses.

rusher14:
Confirmation is a constitutional requirement which they must execute.

It doesn't confer on them the power to summon on a personal basis.

The IG can send a deputy to act on his behalf as enshrined in the constitution.

In accordance with the extant laws in Nigeria, the functions, duties and responsibilities of the Inspector General of Police as stated in Section 215(1a) of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999 as amended, and the Police Act and Regulations Section 309(1) can also be carried out as mentioned in sections 7(1),312(1), 313(2) of the Police Act and Regulations by a senior officer of the Force of the Rank of Deputy Inspector General of Police or an Assistant Inspector General of Police who if permitted by the Inspector General of Police to act on his behalf or represent him in an official capacity at any official function, event or programme within and outside Nigeria can do so in consonant with the provisions of the Police Act and Regulations.

Please educate me because you are usually well informed on these matters:

Does the Senate have the powers to summon the IG?

Please, does the fact that the IG answer directly to the president have anything to do with the rights or otherwise of the senate to summon him?

Just asking.

brodalokie:
If you sabi Matthew 23:23 what do you want to debate again?
Are you trying me?

You are an obvious slowpoke. You are nobody.

Read theMatt23:23againby yourself, not what your liar pastor told you
But I sincerely doubt that you can do that since you are not very intelligent

Oga tell us where the new covenant told us to be paying tithe.

brodalokie:
You think you're equal with the office of Jesus or the apostles now?
I'm not sorry for you at all...

Answer the question. You won't.

It is just st these empty veiled threat and scare tactics up and down.

Tell us where Jesus collected tithe that would make you justify why these lying thieveing pastors are collecting.

You are an obvious empty head because you don't have answers apart from Malachi 3:10

brodalokie:
Nice game. I'm not playing useless games with you. Find someone else. The word of God is not up for debate by politicians or any religious system. God is His own interpreter.

God wants us to tithe and give offerings and that's what we must do...

It is block headed idiots like you who make the Bible a burden to understand.

You have not convinced anyone why your so called position stands. It is to be forming one kind of pseudo authority on a matter on whose depth you are obviously shallow.

Yes the word of God is up for debate. As long as false teachers like Oritsejafor still abound. If the Bereans could dispute what Paul said to them, (I.e. not taking it hook, line and sinker, but going to do their own research to confirm if it is true),then who are you to say we can't question what thieves like Oritsejafor say?

brodalokie:
Is the biblical language annoying you?

Oga answer the question and stop being an idiot this Sunday

It is liars like you who will hide behind snide remarks when you really don't have anything to say.

Tell us where you got that nonsense you stated from.

Tell us where the new covenant approves of paying tithes with appropriate scripture.

Don't quote Matt 23:23 for obvious reasons.

Because Jesus was talking to Pharisees (who he later described as brood of vipers) and he made reference to the Law.

Waiting.

No dodging the issue. Stick to the argument

brodalokie:
Don't talk about the Holy Bible like you're explaining politics. Both the law and testimony backs tithing...

What do you even know about our Lord Jesus?
Are you a Christian? Have you received the Holy Ghost if yes?

Where did you get that nonsense from?

Ibime:
Crazy technique. Rooneys goal last week will prolly win GOTS but Defoes goal had double the degree of difficulty.

Defoe's goal should goal of the season thus far. For me it's not even close.
Wondering how Defoe still has the technique after all the bouncing around.

ChristineC:
I don't remember quoting that handle or writing tribal remarks. What's with the IPOB and trash he's talking of? Who being Nigerian help to even start with?

all these juice sippers sef

When you are done you will put those two worn out bits of flesh on your chest back in the place where they rightfullly belong.

elampiro:
HoopLA decided to resort to insults because he knows he cannot match my superior arguments. People who insult during debates lack ideas.

I never said I was smart. I'm not wrestling myself or trying to show how "smart" I am.

Butyour IQ is not any better.

This self dribbling you've been engaging in is making you dizzy. Sit down and have a glass of water.
You feel you know it all, have it your way. But don't insult my sensibilities with these weak arguments you call submissions.

Oga nobody will take you seriously when you keep making gaffes like the Murray thing. Simple.


From now on knock yourself out with your arguments, since you know it all, since nobody is on your mental wavelength.

Just take it that you are not as intelligent as you think.

Nihilist:


Make una just mistakenly lose tommorow.

Na hoopla be my main target now

You don barb finish?

Every time na so you go dey give excuse why you no see your man dey fumble upandan.

At least I won't be caught dead with quotes like the ones attributed to you.

Please respectfully collect your "L" on the Bakayoko issue.

Then we can talk.
