World Cup golden boot.

World Cup golden ball.

World Cup winner.

Balon D' or winner (in view).


Lionel Andreas Messi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Golden boot with two goals from open play. Spits!

raumdeuter:
While Giroud was the wrong striker to start given the defensive nature of the game Deschamps played but now that they are clasing the ball Argentina will sit deeper and more balls and crosses will come into the box

So while Giroud was a tactical defect at the start, taking him out at this point doesn't seem right to me

Good point, but depends how good Muani is in the air

AdisaOwala:
Who him for put instead?

Argentina na team wey dey pack midfield

You also pack midfield with midfielders. That means drop Griezmann away from the midfield, and have a mobile striker that can chase everything on his own. Or if you keep Griezmann, make sure your no 9 is mobile at least, that way you can drag their midfield back to cover 4 runners

I keep saying Giroud is a useless striker in big games. He is a box striker, he can't help you take any pressure off midfield. I never understood Chelsea fans love for that guy, he has always been a tactical liability, if you are interested in the shape of the team and watch match with a keen perception for overloads which is where games are won and lost

It's over

Deschamps sentiment for Giroud and Griezmann has finally cost him

5 goals is enough to win golden boot in most World cups, Wetin FIFA dey give Pessi in penalties alone. Spits

Expert17:
So Pele didnt do this?

Pele considered penalties beneath him and never played penalty in World Cup unlike "Mr 5 penalties" ojoro master

donstan18:
There was no way Argentina wasn't going to get a penalty in this much.

We all know what FIFA has already planned to do

5 penalties in one World Cup

Big ojoro

Never in the history of ojoro have one team received 4 penalties in one World Cup, talkless of 5

FIFA ojoro,that's not a pen

Did Maria dey cross him own leg

Dem done give Pessi another gift

France are giving Argentina the midfield to accommodate Giroud and Griezmann

Muani and Camavinga should shut this whole shït down

Deschamps shouldn't be sentimental here

Dem done return Upamecano to starting line up oh

Judging Gallagher as a CM or winger which is the only position he has played is the height of myopia

Gallagher is a pure AM and anytime he plays there, he will shine

These people would have chased Gerrard from Chelsea if Gerrard had to fit in to 3-4-3 formation

Let Chelsea make mistake and sell Gallagher to a team that will play him in a 4-3-3, that's when "had I known" will begin

OhBritannia:
Just watched Dembele's interview, he literally said he wants Messi to win the world cup

These guys are literally Loyal to Lionel Messi, even griezman said the same thing.

Hahaha Ronaldo's fans will be sweating through their Asses now

Don't be surprised when Mbappe and dembele drops a 2 rating performance out of 10 tomorrow

You and the 4 people that like this deserves slaps

You think a nigga will hustle to get to WC final, his childhood dream, only to give it to Messi wey no send him papa

andrewbaba44:
So if he wins he is still not greatest

If he wins, he can enter the debate for the greatest with a serious argument to back him up

A40:
You know these French folks can have a flair for the dramatic sometimes

But reason this thing well oh. Why and what are the odds that all the French players are suddenly falling sick. This is not even like France 98 where it was just one guy. It's a gang of people falling ill like anthrax was unleashed in their camp. They're not even disclosing the exact nature of the illnesses. I've never seen anything like it

They said they caught it from English players in the QF. There is a bad strain of flu going around in England sha, half my children's class have been bedridden

TLona1:
Just a friendly reminder,

If Messi wins the final, he will be the undisputed greatest footballer of all time. If Messi loses the final, he will be the undisputed greatest footballer of all time.

Keep deluding yourself

andrewbaba44:
We saw a team shaped with benzema at the euros

Not taking anything away from benz ,but giroud suits that team better

No he doesn't. He puts too much pressure on the midfield as he cannot chase defenders stepping into midfield, nor does he offer any outball to the midfielders cos he can't chase anything.

One result doesn't change that. Same reason he was dropped for Havertz when Tuchel came in. Giroud can only play box football

andrewbaba44:
As if benzema would have brought something different to the team

I still got your point though

The French team na all stars

So pressing is a joke to you?

A team shape with Benzema as against a team shape with Giroud are worlds apart

Asking someone where they are from originally is the most common thing. Even we blacks will ask you again where you are from if you answer London or Manchester

Nirvana101:
I'm not so sure with Zidane-98. If you remember correctly, Zidane didn't really light up the tournament untill the final. Not that he was poor but when you compare his exploits to others especially Maradona and Pele then you'll agree that he didn't really dominate.

If anything, Zidane dominanted 2006 world cup. All things considered including his age, 2006 was golden for him. He toyed with Brazil in the quarters. It's easy to forget Zidane-06 because, of course France failed to win and Canavro was awarded the world player of the year.

For me, Zidane-06 dominated, Zidane-98 came alive in the final. I'll go as far as saying that, Sucker dominated France-98 not Zidane. But because Croatia failed to win the Mundial, his world cup legend faded to oblivion!

History remembers the winner, if not we will add Baggio and Stoichkov in 1994, Forlan in 2010, or Cruyff in 1974. Zidane balled in 2006 but spoilt it in the final

afrodoc2:
R.I.P to Sinisa Mihajlovic. One of the deadliest free kick exponents of all time. Only person i know to score a free kick hat trick.

Freekick killer. Seen him play in my first ever match I attended live which was Cup Winners Cup final between Lazio and Mallorca at Villa Park in 1999

Another thing to add, he could not have played in modern football without being chased from Europe cos nigga was a bloody racist, always abusing black players on the pitch

donstan18:
Strange unexplainable illness dealing with French squad.

Lol. When FIFA want you to win something, it’ll be hard not to win it.

Our God is bigger than them

Let Konate return. Varane should go on bed rest let Saliba play

'Elon abandoned Tesla': The EV maker's 3rd-largest individual shareholder calls for a new CEO as the Twitter circus tests investor patience.

Investor patience in Tesla is wearing thin as CEO Elon Musk shifts his focus to running Twitter.
KoGuan Leo, Tesla's third largest individual shareholder, tweeted that it may be time for a new CEO.

"Elon abandoned Tesla and Tesla has no working CEO. Tesla needs and deserves to have working full time CEO," Leo tweeted on Wednesday.

This shareholder should be careful what he wishes for. Tesla has always been a huge pump and dump scheme founded on the personality of Elon, with Cathie Woods Arkk Innovation fund and other Reddit investors providing the fuel for the pump based on narratives about Elon. Without Elon, there is no pump, and the share price could flatten by another 60-70% to bring it in line with the PE ratio of other automakers. They need Elon to keep the narrative going. If your stock does 10x in a year like Tesla did in a few short months in 2020, you should know this stock performance is not based on fundamentals but on the personality and narratives of the CEO pumping it

Elon has always been unhinged, which was fine and amusing when Tesla was mooning. They should not complain now. The alternative to Elon is to watch their investment revert to it's true value.

Most dominant World Cup performances in order

1. Maradona - 1986
2. Pele - 1958
3. Ronaldo - 2002
4. Rossi - 1982
5. Kempes - 1978
6. Garrincha - 1962
7. Zidane - 1998

Messi can join this list, or become a Baggio 1994 performance depending on the outcome of the final. Winning the gold and performing in the final gets him on the list between Ronaldo and Rossi in no4 position. Losing the final turns him into a Baggio of 1994

Seriously with all that's going on, this ftx saga, some major crypto players dying, increasing government's hostility to crypto, summarily, what do you perceive the future of Bitcoin to be like?

It would go down until Fed interest rate hikes are complete, then start to range slowly, bouncing back strongly on the next bull market in 2 to 3 years time

Donjazet2:
Is this you dunkin on Bitcoin? you don't believe in it?

I believe in other people's belief. I'm only attracted to it's liquidity

What is the value of Twitter stocks as at today? I am not following

Edit I just saw its at $50 an almost year high. Or is there something else I'm missing

Twitter is in private hands and not listed anymore so anything you are seeing is the last price before Elon takeover was executed

Elon messed up bidding for that thing at $54 at start of the year, it was naturally going to dip to $20 before year end when he would have got better price. But I guess he needed a reason to dump overpriced Tesla stock and Twitter was a valid reason. Twitter still much cheaper in comparison to Tesla. Its like dumping MMM to buy Bītcoin, both are overpriced but Tesla share price be like MMM

Arya Starr is quickly becoming one of my favourite Naija artistes. I no dey usually listen to woman song but her voice has some deepness and extra quality. Her rhythms and rhymes are on point also

I don't believe many current popstars apart from Burna and maybe Oxlade can sing clean like this without producer effect, and certainly none as powerfully

Tesla stock has fallen 28% since Elon Musk took over Twitter

Tesla- it's seen a major decline in its stock price since CEO Elon Musk took the reins at Twitter on October 27. Stock is down 28% since that deal closed. And it's falling again this morning after Goldman Sachs cut its price target on the company by almost a quarter, to $235, down from a prior target of $305. By various metrics, the stock is now trading at its lowest valuation ever.

Elon is the one selling, he's sold over $3.5bln this week. He didn't make up excuse this time like before when he sold tens of billions using tax argument with Liz Warren, or sold tens of billions to buy Twitter

When you have a company trading at PE ratio of 50, you better sell, the stock behaves like a pyramid scheme
