Ballzproblem2:
accept your L this man accept that you are on the wrong side for once! tufia!

You mean like you asked me to accept L that Kukuruku is better than Perisic after one match

What L is there in Messi being on 7 assists in 24 games and Pele being on 10 assists in 14 games?

Expert17:
Lol, sorry bro.

Maradona 8 assists

Messi 7 assists

Pele 10 assists in half the games

Levels to this shyt

Expert17:
I expect Pele to increase his World cup assist tonight. Lmao

Pele finished his assist work in 14 games, what your GOAT is just achieving in 24 games

Pele still top assister in World Cup history

Croatia is a rope-a-dope team

Morocco bullied them

Lukaku had them on ropes but couldn't finish

Japan pressed their neck all through

Brazil had them halfway out

But still they're here, with Mohammed Ali tactics

If Croatia take you to penalties, just forget it

All South American teams going out today. chic2pimp, what you say?

airmark:
Position-oriented marking was needed there and not throwing himself at Foden like a biatch, leaving Mendy at Kane's mercy.

Even in street football, we called it shadowing those days. You do that to limit the danger posed by Kane and Foden, while Diallo was expected to run back to cover Kane. Not every defender would do it perfectly but every experienced defender should know that's the better option in this situation.

This picture is indicting

What otu kind of positioning is this?

CheapHomes1:
Dude is really getting emotional. But you haven't answered the question.

How is an Olympic gold winner more valuable than an ex US service man who was accused of spying? Who was he accused of spying for?

You should learn how to communicate. A cursory look at your profile shows you only communicate with foolish rhetorical questions. Ignored as you should be. No time for autistic communication.

CheapHomes1:
The question is simple.

How is an Olympic gold winner more valuable than an ex US service man who was accused of spying? Who was he accused of spying for?

You have answered your own question. Go and ask your father. I don't know any spy, I only know of a thief who spy agencies will not want on their roster as he can sell them out for loose change. . . . Only the Olympic gold medal is confirmed in the above

CheapHomes1:
If he is "little value" according to you, how come Wikipedia says this about him?

According to Wikipedia:

"When arrested in Russia, Whelan was director of global security and investigations for BorgWarner, an international automotive parts manufacturer based in Michigan.[8] His work with Kelly Services and BorgWarner gave Whelan contacts with law enforcement in many countries."

So the above makes him a spy?

You are a different brand of foolish

Go and read about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe, a middle aged British Iranian woman just visiting home when Iran seized her on fake charges of spying just to use it to shakedown UK for gbese

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazanin_Zaghari-Ratcliffe


Your nigga is a thief, not a spy as far as we know, and as far as anybody who looked into his case has reported.

CheapHomes1:
You are already getting emotional.

How is an Olympic gold winner more valuable than an ex US service man who was accused of spying? Who was he accused of spying for?

Me getting emotional? You are getting stupid.

It's not shocking to me. I have seen cultists before.

Leyqute:
Sure. Walcott finishes better than Lenon. I was talking about a particular finish from a tight angle. Lenon has done it severally.

Lennon?

I don't know him for that sha. I know Walcott for that tight angle finish from 2010 to 2014 time period

CheapHomes1:
You haven't answered the questions.

How is an Olympic gold winner more valuable than an ex US service man who was accused of spying? Who was he accused of spying for?

You are asking foolish questions

A USA two times Olympic champion and two times World Cup winner is a million times more valuable than a thief who was dishonourably discharged from the military, meaning he's not even qualified to be called a service man by military ethos.

If you want to believe he's a spy, that's your problem. Most journalists who have looked at his case say he's not, and he says he's not. Only facts we know is he's a thief and of little value.

Leyqute:
Theo Walcott from that RHS?

Do you have clips? Na only Aaron Lennon be right winger wey I don see finish from that angle on the right side well well. They bury the ball at the last angle on the other side.

From the LHS, I’ve seen Foden, Bale and Greenwood score from that difficult angle. Bale especially.

Walcott does. Lennon no sabi finish

CheapHomes1:
How is an Olympic gold winner more valuable than an ex US service man who was accused of spying? Who was he accused of spying for?

Accused of spying is not the same as spying. It's a trumped up charge with no merit.

I somehow doubt that someone who was dishonourably discharged from military for stealing $10k is a prime candidate for recruitment to spy agencies. That sounds like someone that will spill agency secrets for a low amount

Emaprince:
omo....na Nigerian list be this o. Lol

Any Nigerian Britico wey never reach Nigeria before who enrolled for that degree by mistake will end up speaking pigin at the end of the degree

Another banger from University of Hertfordshire Nursing Department - almost all graduating students are Nigerian

Na Naija healthcare system go suffer am

SlyfoxxDaBoss:
Pic 1: NBC’s initial reporting on the prisoner swap BEFORE Biden’s press conference

Pic 2: NBC’s edited version of the prisoner swap story AFTER Biden’s press conference.

When Trump called the media “Enemy of the people” he was not totally wrong. This is journalism malpractice of the highest magnitude.

A press that takes it cue’s directly from those in power that it is supposed to be holding accountable is a affront to everything the founding fathers stood for and the real “threat to democracy” that the democrats will never talk about.

I did not know that petty larcenists and dishonourable discharges who stole from military take priority over athletes who have brought home two Olympic gold medals for USA. . . just because Trump said so

Whelan is of no value. If he had been exchanged, they will say you exchanged a thief for a high profile prisoner. It's easy to talk from opposition without responsibility. He should wait till Yankee nab someone of his level to exchange

yugoo:
There is a patriotic US Marine in Russian detention that would have been part of that SWAP deal as Trump rightly proposed. I see another Buhari in Biden indeed

Nothing patriotic about that marine who was discharged dishonourably for stealing from the military, and besides the Russians never entertained his release. His level never reach to be prioritized over someone who has won two Olympic gold medals for USA.

Leyqute:
As an attacker, I’m always thinking about the best and easiest route to score goals.

So, if we’re in a 2v1 and a defender commits himself to me that quickly, you bet I’m going to eliminate him by passing to the other guy. He forced me to make that decision, a decision which makes it easier for my team to score.

If he baited me whilst tracking my teammate, I’d be forced to make that decision myself. Do I want to go and score myself knowing that he will be in the path of goal? Or do I want to pass to my teammate so he could score- knowing that immediately I release the pass, na sliding tackle e go carry go meet am?

Making that decision will take me a few moments and I won’t be moving with the ball at top speed then. And I also have to act quickly because time is of essence.

An experienced attacker will delay the pass. And if the other guy is smart too, he’d spread the field. That way, he won’t be able to block the pass. And we’d have been forced to make that decision

Retype this in Yoruba for Dayo please

zeusis:
those pass masters still had iniesta a driving force in the midfield.
This current crop just sit deep and recycle football continously. Thousands of pointless passes. Pedri and gavi still has time to improve a lot. I don't even like how pedri sits too deep. Most times I think he sits deepers than foolish busquets

Why won't you sit deep when your DM can't run

A spineless DM always overworks and drags back attacking players, just like Jogginghoe

raumdeuter:
If Whelan is in jail for being a spy that means he was doing the country's job and should be prioritized over someone who doesn't hesitate to talk down America at every opportunity they get


Russia once offered Whelan plus another prisoner for Bout which US didn't consider or take..

Seeing that Biden will care more about the political goodwill from Griner peeps he conceded sharply

For Whelan you better find a way out for him soon

Whelan ain't no spy, though the Russians say he is, the USA say he's not.

He's a dishonourable dischargee, a petty larcenist, and unfortunately his status never reach to exchange with V Bout. And from what I read, Russians refuse to consider him saying they put spies on a level above. I'm inclined to agree with USA thats he's not a spy as someone who stole $10k from military will easily sell out secrets and not a good candidate for recruitment to spy agencies. It's only agenda that can put an Olympic medalist against someone sacked for stealing from military

A40:
They play there because they are not making NBA level money. Can you compare the salary of an WNBA player to that of an NBA player. You say she's a star the same people fighting for her release are telling you if she was a Lebron, Jordan or even an NBA level player they would have released her sooner. So apparently she was not star enough

You're preaching to the choir at this point. I keep asking you why majority of the people chanting for her release were primarily from her demographic and not the entire country in unison pushing and putting pressure for her release

Where have you seen an Olympic medalist or citizen arrested and you have people complain that they gave up too much to get her back? I mean we have similar example on this very thread? You think he would hold the same sentiment for a Lebron or even a Dwyane Wade? Or Charles Barkley who's retired donkey years ago

Let's talk another thing and be objective for once. Do a poll right now and you will see that opinions on her release will be split across these Gender and Sexuality identity lines. So don't come to pretend when we can clearly see that the demographic she represents were the most vocal for her freedom.

You are stating the obvious about money disparity. What I'm telling you is that winning two Olympic gold alone is enough for any country to push the boat out for you. All that LGBT talk is just your own bias speaking. In most countries, you will get Order of Merit, Knighthood etc for bringing home one Olympic gold much less two. In South Korea you would skip military service for even bronze medal. You are telling me that it's LGBT that got her off. Common Robinho wey no win anything major, Brazil are refusing to extradite him to Italy for rãpe charge. Abeg die this talk. All you can say is most people that don't watch WNBA won't care either way, but as for any Government she won two Olympic gold medals and two World Cups for, trying for her freedom is very natural, whether LGBTQ, straight, yellow, black or green.

A40:
Suggesting she was released purely on the back of her athletic feats is laughable and naive. If that was the case then the entire country would have been pushing for her release not just LGBTQ people and those pandering to that demographic

Me I say these things as they are. If she were that big a star she wouldn't be playing in damn Russia in the first place.

Is there any WNBA player that does not play in Europe in the off season?

She is a star, most dunks in WNBA history, double Olympic gold medallist and double World Cup winner. If she was straight, those are what you would use to judge her merits for release. Many groups campaigned for her release, from basketball fraternity to NAACP to LGBTQ but na only LGBTQ you see, maybe because her wife was the face of it.

WhoDeyHause:
Also other enemies of usa will be watching and setting traps in future for any american that enters their territory or allies.

This already happens regular. Iran kidnaps many British and US citizens visiting Iran and accuse them of spying, just to use them as leverage to get back some money that USA and UK seized in 1970s. I think they seized like $400m of Iran money back then.

There was one old British-Iranian woman (Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe) who was just visiting home and they seized her and made up charges of her being a spy until UK dropped the gbese they had seized back then. Another British-Iranian-American guy was supposed to be released as part of the deal. After getting his hopes up from the British consulate that they had worked out a deal, my guy was getting ready to fly back, only to be told last minute that because he also has US passport, he won't be released because Yankee never drop their own part of the gbese.

Roland17:
This is why I said it is catch 20-20 as far as politics especially as it relates to the Republican Party because while it may contravene many of their conservative ideologies, they can’t use it as a talking point during campaigns because it involves an American getting free from Russia.

Like I said, most Republicans won't care because no American left behind has always been an ethos, and even the lowest American life has always been valued higher than the highest foreign life in the American way of thinking. There is no political traction to be gained from campaigning on it. Na we Africans suppose get beef with the exchange cos V Bout done commit for Africa.

A40:
Lmao. Let me correct something very quickly abeg. I have no disdain for LGBTQ people. Not even a little bit. I just call out the propaganda and indoctrination to other weird extremes which some of them are trying to take it with this trans business where they have started calling our women birthing persons and vagina carriers.
Person wey carry blockus like me you say make I call am woman just little stuff like that

I had always thought detaining anybody over vape cartridges was unnecessary. And people's freedom especially for trivial things like that I don't take for granted.

Whatever you feel about her she was someone's daughter, sister, wife/husband and she deserved freedom from the hellhole of a Russian jail. I'm sure she would have a better appreciation of America now

I was just warning Roland that if he takes this sentiments to an app like Twitter or Mainstream media he will be mercilessly cancelled

I know well and good the Democrats primary demographic and why Biden did the utmost to secure her release.

You kept mentioning as if she is being released because she is LGBTQ only. Yes, that community will put pressure, but she stands worthy on her own accomplishments and status.

You are talking of a basketball great and a National team star and winner. I don't see where LGBTQ comes in except to demean her status as if she is not worthy of being exchanged.

You think if Caster Semeiya get arrested, South Africa will care if she's LGBTQ before they come for her?

A40:
No allow LGBITIQ people see this one. The canceling no go get Part 2.

What I want to see is how it will transfer to NBA. The deal has been made nothing can be done about it.

I want to see pay gap arguments and whether these SJWs and Feminazis will ho-ha start asking NBA teams to dash them money

Forget your disdain for LGBTQ, what do you think LeBron or Jordan is worth in a prisoner exchange?

You are talking about arguably the greatest woman basketballer, you reduce her to small fry.

Na this kain thinking go give Biden votes while you dey write her off based on LGBTQ, not knowing 50% of the population (women) have votes too, and they will ask what Biden would have done if it was LeBron or Jordan. Politics is a numbers game my friend.

Roland17:
Should have allowed her sit in jail until we got a good deal, I don’t care. We have thousands of Americans incarcerated because of small amounts of weed but we exchange a notorious gun runner because Britney forgot she was traveling to Russia with a contraband.

Meanwhile, we still have Paul Whelan who is being accused of being an American spy stuck in Russian Gulag since 2018; even though it has been proven he is not a spy. Wouldn’t that have been a fairer and more balanced trade?

Biden lost me on this one..

These things is also who put pressure for you. Griner is like a confluence of the LGBT, black, basketball and weed community, not to mention shes a double Olympic gold medallist and double world cup winner for USA. That's four big communities putting pressure plus one of your sporting stars. It's like Naija bailing out Blessing Okagbare. You may not watch her sport but millions do. Nobody know the Whelan guy unfortunately, he gast wait till them dey exchange small fry especially if he is not really a spy. They'll probably tag him along as jara when next they have real spies to exchange, but for now Griner is arguably the best female basketballer in the world, she carry weight pass am.

larride:
Republicans will so milk it for 2024 campaign

Republicans won't care. You missed what Roland is referring to. He is speaking as an African cos the Russian guy supplied many conflicts in Africa with his gun smuggling. Niggas hand is all over Liberia, Sierra Leone, Congo and Angola conflicts

All GOAT talk ends today

The labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain
