Godx:
I agree with you here. Ability to head the ball should be a prerequisite for any Centre back especially at the highest level.

It's not the ability to head ball that is the issue. It's the ability to track the run of the man wishing to head the ball

Expert17, excuse my pedantry. The correct spelling is lose your marker not loose your marker. Below is how you apply them.

Why did Messi lose Ferdinand

The wheel nut has come loose

biomustry:
He could not do anything there, unless he was to run and push Messi very quickly

He already lost Messi seconds.earlier by staring transfixed at the ball like an ode when Messi was making his run

This is just stüpid ball watching by Ferdinand

You still haven't defended this

Not holding brief but this means nothing. MEND once named Wole Soyinka as a mediator with FG. It just means he is someone they are willing for FG to send to talk with them and vice-versa.

So Raumdeuter expected VVD to run towards Messi who was facing Matip diagonally. Lol

Dayokanu with that his height only ever played Striker. He doesn't know what it takes to play defence. Matip is in the perfect position for a challenge or tactical foul. If you try a tactical foul on a player running diagonally away from you, the tackle will be reckless and probably yield a red card.

The best thing to do is let the man Messi is running toward make the tackle and try to get round on the cover which is what VVD did.

Godx:
You can only pick one. Who are you taking?

If Im building a squad, Lahm everyday

Who else can cover leftback, DM and CM to a World Class level?

Amoto94:
How many barrels are sold per day and at what price as at then? The recovered funds can't all be looted by the regime, remember we were sanctioned and we had bills to pay I think to circumvent the sanctions the regime used third-parties to lodge money abroad for foreign transaction purposes. Are some of the recoveries looted the probability and possibility is very high, but are all of them loots? I highly doubt it

We were selling 2 million barrells at around $20 then so making about $40m daily gross then. I don't know how much Govt keeps per Barrell but I remember reading somewhere that Govt only takes half and the oil coys take half.

What this means is Abacha probably stole more than half of Nigeria's Revenue then. Mind you, he chopped alone which is probably better than politicians now who probably chop 80% of our revenue between them.

This is why I like military rule. In military rule, the number of people chopping our Commonwealth reduce to only a few dozen whereas under democracy, we have to accommodate the avarice of tens of thousands of politicians from Federal to Local Govt level.

thorrvik55:
How many 70 year olds has he arrested for speaking against him??

He has killed enough people, never mind arresting

raumdeuter:
VVD is to the right of Matip, trent is to the left. VVD was pointing to the space left of Matip which has already been covered by Trent. Matip refused to cower and back track but moved towards Messi and fouled him instead of backing into goal

If Matip was also running backwards like VVD thats how Messi will enter the box, the same way he did for Morata and ended in tears

Defending is taking responsibility and not pointing to others to do your job for you

Trent is square on and will not stop Messi as evidenced in this freeze frame when Matip engages Messi.

It was up to Matip and VVD to create a sequential barrier for Messi and they did so perfectly. By the time Matip fouls Messi, VVD is directly behind him for any second engagement, while Trent is nowhere near able to stop Messis run directly to goal.

A perfect photo finish to show that what VVD and Matip planned worked exactly to perfection.

raumdeuter:
This is Suarez that was at least 5 meters behind the action. So who was VVD pointing to there? Was It Suarez ghost?

VVD leaves real players and now marks imaginary ones on the field

So Suarez will magically jump over all the players to appear in the space VVD is pointing to?

Messi is running diagonally toward Matip. Matip point at VVD to say go behind for the second attempt and VVD responds affirmatively with his point and angle of run to let Matip know he will be behind him for the second attempt. Matip will attempt a foul on the first attempt which he does successfully, and at the second freeze frame when Matip fouls Messi, VVD is already in position for the second attempt should Matip foul have failed.

Defending is a simple sturvs. You have to use brain.

Expert17:
Yh...suarez will definitely open, for a pass from Messi.....

Even a baby should know this

Even if not Suarez, they both know it's unhealthy to face Messi in a straight line. One must face him first while the other go behind for the second attempt cos Messi is likely to beat the first man. If they both line up square, Messi will take both out with one dribble.

You can see Matip similarly pointing as if to say if I go first line up behind me, while VVD point is saying I'm going behind you.

Expert17:
If Matip and Van dijk are running towards messi at the same time, alongside Henderson, Fabinho and Arnold, .... Who is left behind to mark Suarez and co, Incase Messi manage to make a pass.....

Na wa for una oo

It is clear from that pic that VVD is pointing toward the space where Suarez occupies and moving toward there.

Just because some people don't have brain for defending doesn't mean VVD is stüpid

raumdeuter:
Bayern made the move and deposited 40M, its left to City to return the money. Its like the strategy you use for Ibo sellers, give them money and see if they will return it. In many cases they will want to hold the money and just tell you to add small

Godx:
40m being their opening offer? lol If Sancho is going for 100million, Leroy should be nothing less than that if not more. Bayern are trolling.

Football has changed financially. Those big prices of 2019 will have to come down. I think Sane has only one year left on contract so it's a buyer's market.

South Korean league is starting Friday

Na to just pick one Korean team to support for the foreseeable future go make sense. Juwon Bluewings abi wetin be their name.

nihilistjnr:
That's how real this stuff is. So it's jarring to see a canadian former child actor, turned singer and rapper using the medium that the boys invented to further enrich himself with none of the attendant consequences - no revenge drillings, no police shutdowm, no arrests.

It's jarring mehn...

He is irresponsible for riding a wave that has claimed many lives. He can't try this in Yankee with Chicago drill. NAACP will finish him.

All the boys he was promoting in Harlem Spartans have either been killed or in jail. At least 4 guys from Harlem Spartans/ Moscow crew - Latts, Bis, GB, Incog were murdered after he gave them exposure. Now he is rapping about waps, going on the nizz etc that roadmen are actually doing, and popularising a vile culture without any of the repercussions. This is the definition of culture vulture.

This one is for Swissh, our Corona denier-in-chief

Swissh:
You are a mumu and have been typing foolishly ever since. The same verbal autopsy you and your fellow Lab rats ridiculed here for straight two days.
What a double faced bomboclaaat. You better not tag me any of your senseless post again.

Take your L and go!

Swissh:
Why will you need to see an official statement when our nairaland experts like Izzou already told us it's coronavirus. Any death in Nigeria at this moment is covid_19 because we haven't been facing other illness that kills us and neither have people been dying before Coronavirus came to Nigeria.

Eruditor:
Agencies disagree with themselves. CIA have not presented any thing to the POTUS. DNI said they agreed with WHO and CDC. Mutually exclusive events.

More rubbish.

DNI is not a separate entity to CIA but is the boss of CIA, and they have spoken.

Go and sleep.

Eruditor:
CIA and the National intelligence are not the same and they play different roles. LOL

The Office of the Director of National Intelligence, is the clearinghouse for all U.S. spy agencies and is the head of all seventeen agencies including the CIA.

You've been talking half-baked rubbish since you opened your mouth to say this:

Eruditor:
I am not joining issues but the highlighted is not true. In fact, the POTUS after being informed by the CIA has opened an investigation on this because they believe the virus may have been engineered in a lab. .

Now their head office has released statement saying it's not man-made, you are still talking half-baked rubbish.

You are completely out of your depth. Go and Sleep.

papiforreal:
Ibime the argument should finish.
https://www.dailytrust.com.ng/breaking-covid-19-responsible-for-mass-death-in-kano-presidential-team.html

The argument has finished. Them no want chop their L

Eruditor:
Okay, you believe the government now. Even when they did no tests but when Larride quotes the same people you will disbelieve them abi?

I don't play politics with health. What was the likely suspect in Kano if not Covid when other states are reporting positive cases from Kano returnees? Anyone looking for anything else to blame is sweeping the floor while the roof is on fire. That's why your bluff of moonlighting as a virologist failed woefully because no health professional will try to blame anything else in the name of politics.

Eruditor:
The point is, you do not know who I have access to and where I can get information from.

As suspected, you are an oil industry worker moonlighting as a virologist and your bluff has been called.

Eruditor:
This means nothing hope you know. In fact, they simply agreed with the WHO and CDC (organisations that have not clothed themselves in glory or or any semblance of truth).

You talk too much.

Your original statement was that CIA are investigating if the virus was man-made and I told you CIA had concluded it wasn't and produced a statement from the National Director of Intelligence to that effect.

Any other thing you have to say is for the birds. I don't discuss conspiracy but published facts.

Take your Ballon D'L.

I have made no post on verbal autopsy prior to now. We accept the findings of verbal autopsy in the absence of lab testing. Now your own Presidential taskforce has absolved malaria of all crimes, kindly accept your L.

gensteejay:
Neither are you. This is information age.

The difference between me and you is that I listen to the virologists and take their vaccines knowing that they have gone through a rigorous and accredited process to create and test it.

And I get my news from conventional sources which have gone through accepted standards of editorial review and journalistic integrity rather than following any quack conspiracy theorist on Nairaland or some unregulated information source.

Consider my post to you an attempt to prevent you wasting copious amounts of time going down the wrong rabbit hole, as you have already started your investigations on faulty premise. Enough said.

BlueRayDick:
I sincerely hope after all this, whoever wins the Ballon D 'L' will dutifully pick up his L and accept the L in good faith

Observers are watching.

Verbal Autopsy has been concluded. We can now comfirm that neither Lassa Fever, Malaria nor "brief illness" are to blame.

The Ballon D'L goes to Swissh and the oil industry expert cüm fake virologist Elruditor

Eruditor:
I wish you knew who you are talking to.

Humour me, who am I talking to?

I hope you won't be switching from oil industry to virology, bluffing and jumping professions like Coogar of blessed memory.

Eruditor:
I won't be doing any back and forth on this. Let other people do their own research - there are even videos of DJT saying exactly what I said.

There are videos of DJT asking us to drink disinfectant. He is hardly a scientific genius, just a politician hoping to blame China.

I said 2 things:

1. Scientific consensus is that the virus isn't man-made

https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/the-new-coronavirus-was-not-genetically-engineered-study-shows#Ending-the-rumors-about-SARS-CoV-2-

2. You said CIA are investigating for POTUS if virus is man-made. I said CIA have informed POTUS that it isn't man-made but are still investigating if it leaked from the lab

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8274057/US-intel-Coronavirus-not-manmade-studying-lab-theory.html


This is not the half-baked nonsense you told us about CIA investigating whether it's man-made, but a signed statement from the Director of National Intelligence ruling out genetic modification.

Eruditor:
I did not tell you Lassa Fever was responsible for the deaths, I said COVID-19 is not responsible for all the deaths and then suggested another epidemic that was killing people in Kano that you never read about because the mainstream media did not mention it to you.

Hahahaha.

No my friend. You are playing politics with what is causing these deaths, thinking that we would blame APC for it. I'm not interested in laying blame at APCs door or playing politics with a pandemic.

You categorically ruled out Covid, pointing fingers toward Lassa Fever.

Excuse me for pointing fingers at the most likely suspect Covid. Since you have issue with that, and in the absence of widespread testing/autopsy, we have respectfully agreed to blame it on "brief illness"

Eruditor:
I am not joining issues but the highlighted is not true. In fact, the POTUS after being informed by the CIA has opened an investigation on this because they believe the virus may have been engineered in a lab.

You simply typed the highlighted from your head and you are presenting it as a fact.

This is absolutely false. Scientific consensus is that the virus structure rules out genetic modification, and CIA have advised POTUS that it is not man made.

What they are investigating is whether there was an accidental leak from the lab, which I do not rule out as Chinese labs have accidentally leaked SARS virus twice.

Google is your friend.

Eruditor:
After misinforming the gullible sheeple, hope you would point them to where anyone said what was specifically killing the people.

Although you suggested Lassa Fever, we already know what is killing the people in Kano. It is a rare epidemic of a uniquely Nigerian pathogen called "brief illness".
