Rudiger : 3,545 minutes

Militao: 3,780 minutes

Alaba: 2,731 minutes


Explain how rudiger is " on bench for Madrid most times"

raumdeuter:
Na someone wey no dey watch ball those times na him go deny my claims

EPL then was like Serie A now where the rejected and old players from other league go to

Going on an unbeaten run in the EPL in 2004 means as much as going unbeaten in Serie A this season

Leyqute:
Dayo is actually kinda right about the coefficient thing.

The 2004 coefficient was calculated AFTER all UCL games were concluded.

In 2003, England was 3rd behind Spain and Italy. And they were ranked lower the further you go back.

Doesn't mean Henry isn't worth the ballon d'or in 2004 tho.

Trevor012:
England was 2nd

Was that why you refused to acknowledge that he had improved even when I told you repeatedly that he has.

raumdeuter:
In 2004 EPL no get levels and no one send what you did in the EPL. It was not as highly rated as Spain or Italy. Most top players will consider going to EPL an insult unless they are about to retire and looking for big payday.

Na the eye wey every dey take look EPL when be say na retirement Weah Vialli Lombardo Ivan Campo Okocha and rehab for flops from Serie A like Kanu and Henry full there
It was until Roman came and they started buying lite players in their prime that people considered whatever was done inside EPL without adding Europe to it

Kevin Phillips wasnt rated despite scoring 30 goals in an EPL season, but nowadays if Kane scores 30 EPL goals he will make Balon dor top 15 at least

raumdeuter:
So you don delete 2003 out of it? Okay Henry no get mouth for 2003

In 2004 Henry crashed out of CL, had an embarrassing Euros which was enough to seal his fate as the choker of European football a tag he never shed till he retired

swiz123:
Airmark and Ibime are the 2 main culprits, with the later claiming that it was Tuchel's community defending.

raumdeuter:
In 2003 Zidane won LA liga. What did Henry win in 2003

2004 Henry flopped in the CL and flopped at the Euros

Unlimited22:
Henry balled in WC 98 from replays and highlights I've seen.

Didn't he get injured?

raumdeuter:
Henry did not deserve any of those awards

Award were given for performance either in the CL or in major tournaments,

Henry was a notorious flop in those tournaments be it world cup 2002, Euro 2004, It was only CL 2006 that he tried but it was still inferior to the achievement of Cavavaro for his NT and Dinho for Barcelona

In 2004 CL Henry flopped after Chelsea disgraced Arsenal out, Euro 2004 he flopped all tournament. It was Zidane that was bailing France out until Greece put them out of their misery.

Henry was never the leader for his NT,
In France 98 though young, he was benched for the crucial part of the tournament, in 2000, he was majorly flopping all through and the key moments he failed to stand up, In Japan Korea, with Zidane injured Henry flopped again
when the Arsenal clique ganged up to retire Zidane after 2004, they struggled to qualify for world cup 2006 until Zidane came out of retirement to help them and Zidane went ahead to dominate the world cup 2006

Euro 2008 without Zidane Henry flopped again
EPL, Henry was the greatest, CL and NT tournament Henry was a massive flop

Sheva did make the final shortlist for WPOTY in '04 finishing behind Henry and Dinho. So he was definitely a force to be reckoned with. I wasn't referring to only the Ballon d'or in my argument, the WPOTY included.

Henry was a notorious big game choker and what one could call a local champion. He couldn't replicate his PL form on the European stage and with France when on international duty. And let's not kid ourselves, the PL of the early 2000's wasn't half as competitive as it is today so his stats, while impressive are only par for the course. Think Lewy banging in goals in the Bundesliga or Mbappe in Ligue One.

Sheva played in a slightly tougher league IMO at that point in time, facing meaner defences while playing as a lone striker for most of the time, a rarity in that period. He also had a better record in Europe. His numbers speak for themselves.

Peak Dinho was untouchable so I'm surprised you think Henry was robbed.

pkasso:
I was reminiscing about European football in the early to mid 2000's with an older friend the other day and a debate came up. It was on how he claimed Henry was robbed of a Ballon d'or in those years. I was of the opinion that while Henry was very good, he wasn't the best. I actually said Shevchenko was a better striker and that Eto'o was on the same level. But my guy no wan gree.

Now it's been years and our memories of these players might have been blunted by time, but I'm really interested in what some of the oldies here have to say about this. Ibime, nateevs, FBS, patrickmuf, and also Roland17, who supports both Arsenal and Milan, abeg make una chook mouth for this matter. Every one and anyone's contribution is welcome, BTW.

iamoyindamola:
Ibime should show us holjberg v Newcastle

larride:
It’s on this thread that we will hear that a player bought for less than €15m elevated the career of the one they bought for over €75m whom they broke their own transfer record for.

Nonsense plenty for here.

benalvino3:
Tesla global market share rose 26% that is huge. Nigerians don't buy new cars. I have only seen the model x tesla just one time in port harcourt. I believe it is the only one in the state or even country. Nigerians buy used cars from abroad.

benalvino3:
I am on ground I am can tell you what I am seeing. Women are behind the wheel of many of them. The model 3. They prefer white color. They are just everywhere.

benalvino3:
Ibime has always make it seem like tesla stock is over inflated but 2 to 3 out of 10 cars I see here are Tesla

Tiopii:
You would rather be deceived than believe what you see.

Russia amassed soldiers for the invasion in hundred thousands, after Ukraine's successful counter offensive where they recaptured Kharkiv and Kherson, Russia mobilized about 300k+ official figures we all know it would higher, Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics also mobilized for Russia bout 140k for the war, Russia also did the volunteer campaign mobilization. After all these mobilization and their bad performance in the war against Ukraine, someone would tell you that Russia's army is still intact and you believe and want to argue on it.

Wagner PMC even recruited prisoners, Putin even withdrew some soldiers from their peace keeping missions in Syria and South Ossetia cos of lack of men in the front.

Don't you think sometimes?

Lmao. My second favorite dead barka fan after andrewbaba. I lost my close brother earlier last week after a long battle with terrible sickness. He was in final year supposed to be in his nysc camp so you understand the state I was. I had to come back home to run around, sourcing for funds to do the burial as we have to bring the body back home to bury as that's my places tradition. then comfort my mum and family at home. Some bastards tried to use the situation to extort us who are still trying to make ends meet not minding the situation at hand. Sometimes when I troll it's not as if I truly hate anybody's moniker or like to disturb. I just use it as an avenue to escape the daily struggles and pain of this world. This earth is a battleground full of wicked people so I'll try to make myself and others happy for as long as I live.
Just drop your trolling for me and my club I'll read them later after all you know if it is me I will deal with you. Bye.
