And also won Barcelona 9 La Liga titles , 7 Copa del Rey , and 3 UCLs. And went further to win Euros and World Cup for spain. I would trade those heavy defeats for us to be as successful.

Now compare those with Makelele’s.

High pressing era started 2013. Only Barca were high pressing before that and everyone was parking bus to counter them until the Germans started high pressing in 2013

That's when he started chopping scores like 7-1, 6 goals, 5 goals and all manner of capitulations. He never survived the high pressing era

Makelele on the other hand had the pace and technique to survive the high press. We already saw glimpses of this right from when Makelele by himself will carry a midfield of Zidane, Figo, Guti and Raul plus Morientes and be the only one working and chasing down every fast break. Makelele also has the skills for possession football, plus the physical tools. Makas Kanu drag to beat a midfield press was perfection, and had a great long pass too. Busquets had the God technique but physicality was zero. Once a break is on, Busquets will be jogging with the referee on the halfway line while his defence is exposed

swiz123:
I think you need to go and watch how Busquet beats press with ease and how he consistently helps Barca play out of tight position. There is a reason every coach rarely ever subs or leave him out.

Busquet is the reason why Barcelona rarely ever went long no matter how tightly pressed. He always forms that triangle needed to play out from the back no matter the pressure.

Busquet posted some of the most disgraceful scorelines and capitulations during the high pressing era starting 2013

timbros:
I didn't see this your comment when I replied him.

Going into the season with Jackson and Delap as traditional number 9 and JP who can play in all front three makes our squad very healthy for all the competitions we will participate in.

Jackson is not needed

3rd striker is Guiu and he is as good as any 3rd striker anywhere

Jackson is still OK but keeping him will erode his value, let's cash in

swiz123:
Makalele wasn’t tested during the high press era.

I will go for Busquet, Xavi and KDB.

And Busquet was tested and failed numerous times

IjeBos:
Just 7 displaced bricks killed 3 people and injured more?

There is an inherent evilness in which you speak of these things.
From their lives not being "material" to "7 displaced bricks".
You should sort out whatever demons you have that left that hole in your soul.

You can present your own picture of the church. This is the picture I have

IjeBos:
Ibime: "If you criticize Israel for bombing a Christian Church, killing people and wounding the priest, you're an anti-semite".

Sums up the kind of logic you can expect from Israel's supporters.

They obviously didn't bomb the church cos if they did, 7 displaced bricks wouldn't be the outcome

But your antisemitism forces you to scream in outrage about a bombed church

budaatum:
Are the human beings "accidentally" bombed in church not material enough for you?

If not, then perhaps worry about the material church that was bombed, though that's odd reasoning from where I'm looking.

No it's not. They are unintentional casualties in a warzone hit by a couple of falling bricks. I am not a Felicia or an anti-Semite. Israel is doing well to respect civilian life unlike their genocidal enemies, and you can cry more if you want.

IjeBos:
I·bi·Akata: "I'm too busy to worry about Israel committing war crimes, because my mind is too busy worrying about some unelated thing".
Also I·bi·Akata: "Israel shares our Western values".

He is right on both accounts because as usual they are lies from anti-Semites who won't use the same energy to ask for release of Oct 7 kidnap victims

Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows if Israel was deliberately targeting civilians, 90% of Gazan civilians will be dead by now, rather than 50k

Shell fragments hit the top of the church and knocked out a couple of blocks and your anti Semite news sources have told you it was a direct hit.

Right from time, I knew it's the usual antisemite playbook of cherrypicking collateral damage from Israel while ignoring mass intentional genocide from Israel's enemies

IjeBos:
You would think that Israel with all it's Military know how, would by now know how to not accidentally bomb the only Christian church in Gaza.
Especially a building the old Pope repeatedly spoke about and said he was scared for.
Israel seems to make a lot of errors where they destroy things that make it harder for people in Gaza.

But who am I to interrupt all your Israeli cheerleading by asking you to use common sense.

Worry about material things, not emotional wailings and cherrypicking

Enzo5:
You have £6 to pick the perfect midfield trio, who are you choosing?

🇪🇸 Xavi £3
🇪🇸 Iniesta £3
🇮🇹 Pirlo £3
🇫🇷 Zidane £3
🇧🇷 Kaká £3

🇧🇪 De Bruyne £2
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Lampard £2
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Gerrard £2
🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Scholes £2
🇪🇸 Silva £2

🇫🇷 Makélélé £1
🇫🇷 Vieira £1
🇫🇷 Kanté £1
🇮🇪 Roy Keane £1
🇪🇸 Busquets £1

Makelele, Debruyne, Xavi

This Russian propaganda for the unintelligent is still ongoing

Ukraine has much better issues to worry about than freezer storage of dead orcs

More people than these die daily on both sides. Russia stores them for monthly propaganda. Ukraine energy sector is constantly under attack and they have better things to do than freeze orcs

IjeBos:
It figures that Ibi-Akata would think that would be a more significant story than the bombing of the only Christian Church in Gaza that the previous Pope repeatedly talked about and was scared for while wounding a priest and killing 2 people.

Ibi-Akata has gone all in and became an Israeli murder apologist.

What's more significant than a 750 tonne shipment of arms from your favourite Iran to their terrorist group that has killed hundreds of thousands of Yemenis, or more Yemenis than Palestinians killed since 1948, and that continue to choke world trade at the Suez canal and murdered dozens of sea men and sunk 2 merchant ships just last week

Compared to a bomb (probably stray or human error) that killed 2 people?

This is why as a man you should pay attention to numbers and materiality rather than think with your emotions like a Felicia

This happened last week

User09:
Sorry man

The worst thing about this sort of thing is that in your heart of hearts, A part of you is kinda seeing your journey to old age through his lens. Genetics can be an a*s sha

It helps in making your mind quickly about certain things and especially while of sane mind. For me, I started resonating more with Euthanasia

Las las the man enjoyed his life and he also wanted to go, but I never see wetin go kill am cos they brought his BP down to that of a 20 year old. Himself done resign say he never seen wetin go kill am again so he has to manage where he is.

As for me, I still have 30 years of good health inshallah so I never reason that side but I will also want to go once quality of life is affected. When I was 17, I thought fun would end at 30. I have crossed 40 and still having fun and intend to do so till 70 so no shaking.

Amethyst101:
Those pens from England were terrible and I expected better.

Asides Lucy Bronze and Chloe Kelly, with her trademark kick, the others were just rubbish

There is no power in their legs. It's like once the GK coach has given instruction to the keeper where to dive, it's impossible for the keeper not to save it

In men's game, even if GK coach gives keeper instruction, keeper will often get beaten by the power of the shot

BlueMann:
She was better, but not by miles. Hampton saved two herself and followed the majority of the kicks.

From how I saw it she was very close even to the first penalty which was quite powerful and looked like she would save everyone

The only ones that beat her were into the roof of the net.

End of day. Sweden lost 3 match winning penalties in a row

raumdeuter:
Senior man, how is your old man doing? Just checking .

He is home, short term memory and vision severely affected to the point of not being able to answer a phone or to read. Growing old is no fun

BlueMann:
Pure drama in the England - Sweden penalty shout-out. Good entertainment, but one of the worst shootouts I've ever witnessed. Especially on the part of the Lionesses.

Sweden's keeper has made four saves, but all were atrocious penalties from England. Hampton has saved two, while Sweden have missed two themselves.

Right from the first penalty I could tell that Falk would save most penalties and she did. Her teammates just threw it away by missing. She looked miles better than Hannah Hampton at pens

Anyway England into the final cos Italy would be a walkover. Let's go England!

I feel sorry for the Sweden goalkeeper

She saved every penalty and looked like she would save every single one. . . . but her teammates were just missing target

Penalties in this women Euros are disgusting

No power in any of their shots. Keepers are just saving pens with 70% probability

BUJU coming to Manchester in November, I will be there still

Impact using -feet/hands/back?

Quit whining Felicia

This is the more significant news today

drisham:
Palmer - better finisher
Yamal- better dribbler and creator
Musiala- better creator

Musiala is the worst creator among the three but he is the better dribbler

Part of Musialas issue is he is too focused on looking down at his feet to dribble the man in front of him and does not have wider vision. He has the same issue Iniesta had

They cannot defend at these levels for too long. Buy your dollars now

GloriousGbola:
ibime got his units wromng. also teh unoits here dedf dont tally with the units in the video

highest point is 223 m3tres

according to google

this is def not that high - they musty have picked a low point close to entrance or exit.

the diver is still very very careless sha, going by what i read about dropping into water

Nigerian stuntmen na vibes and god safe us

Third Mainland Bridge is not 223 metres. It is 70 metres (230 feet) from water to road. Maybe you are checking the height of a pillar from piling to top. Think of a 100 metre track next time you look down from Third Mainland Bridge and the 70 metres should make sense

From your link, about 55 metres jump will most likely kill a man

Golden Gate bridge is only 67 metres from water to road and is an almost 100% fatality, so 70m Third Mainland Bridge will kill you

chrisooblog:
To be fair I watched a video of a Tobi Bakre stunt double jumping off 3rd Mainland Bridge once.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg74rKKk4qI

Make he do am from the top, not the edge make I check something

iamoyindamola:
70 feet
You look 3mb finish and call it 230 feet

I rather trust AI than you

BlueRayDick:
This seems like a good offer for Ijaw, Badagry and Ilaje people (That is if it the offer is real and not that the guy is catching cruise o)

Arts student shows his true colours once again

Mainland bridge is 230 feet high

The terminal velocity on impact with water from such a height is almost like landing on a solid object and 90% + probability to kill even if you are a fish

.......Obasanjo was even the one doing the campaign tours for him. I remember one campaign that Obasanjo called and asked him; "Umaru are you dead?!"

MorataFC:
President Donald Trump was seen pocketing a Club World Cup winners medal onstage moments before he handed Chelsea the trophy.

Infantino appeared to shrug off the incident, flashing the thumbs up and allowing Trump to keep the medal.

[via The Independent]

This must be a joke, comedy or what? 🙅

Madueke medal dey White House, make he go collect am there
