oga all this grammar because of an award that has not even been presented if ronaldo wins it hope you wont publish a book..
I gave up on those awards in the year 2014 when they gave it to Cristiano Ronaldo despite him not winning any titles. Yet, Messi would never win it unless he wins a triple. It has become a useless popularity contest. And they would never stop until Cristiano overtakes Messi. That's their goal. Mark my words!

d last time I checked football is not defined by quitting after losing in the finals. thats cowardice
I don't usually agree with Jose Mourinho, but one thing I agree with him is that "these individual awards for a team sport is totally useless."
So Cristiano Ronaldo can win it forever for all I care. That doesn't make him the best player in the world.....as long as Messi continues to play the game.

But you make silly mistakes when you're newly introduced to another position however, I'm not disagreeing with you. John Oshea could play every position in the pitch when he was with man. u.
True sha. Because after our coach moved up top, he usually complains that I am playing too deep. He assumes that it's because I "enjoy the game too much". But I don't totally trust that coach because he tends to blame me for practically everything. I can score two goals but if we lose, he would ask why I didn't score three!

if scoring penalty is easy,Messi would have lifted copa America, I don't know barka fans problem.
Everything messi won,he was the only player on the pitch abi
At least, Messi was never on the bench when his team wins. It's shameful to claim the best player in a tournament when you didn't even play (or was bundled out after 10 mins) in the most important game of the tourney. It shows you how the whole award thing has been turned into a popularity contest.

yeah, Moses plays as if he has been a defender before!
A player can play any position. I started playing as a Center Back - #5. In those days, you can't cross. But at the U17 camp, the coach moved me #10, so I can control the game. But I played as a top 9 and scored a lot of goals in college, here in the States. So I have seen it all, and was able to fit in anywhere they want me to play.

Everything Messi won, Messi earned. On the other hand, everything the fake Ronaldo wins is given to him.

Portugal won the Euro without him, but he got the credit.
Real Madrid won the Euro with Cristiano not even being the 3rd best player in the team, but he took the credit.

Cristiano was useless in the club World Cup finals until in the extra time, when the Asian team got tired after playing 4 matches in 5 days, then he scored a brace tap ins (plus the initial penalty goal he had scored in the second half). Now, they want us to believe that he single handedly won the match for Real! Wow!!

Anyway, the good news is, every true football fan knows that the best player on the planet is no one but Leo. He's the definition of football.

It's very simple the EPL is the toughest and most physically demanding league in the world. Nearly every player who has come from the other continental leagues has to spend some time to beef up and be physically resilient

I really haven't seen Success have a consistent run of games to say conclusively he is " Head and shoulders above Ideye" I do feel he Ideye completely flopped in the EPL.
Good to know because I was wondering whether it's Ighalo's chief priest who had concortorted some ish to keep the poor boy on the bench through out his Watford career tongue

The man was more concerned about the tendency of the English refs to give red cards to his team.

Right now...I take Ideye over Success. Success seems to have a problem with injuries. I saw some Watford fans lamenting his injuries. I wonder how it seems to be like that.

When he gets over his injuries and proves himself, then I will take him over Ideye.
Injury or no injury, Success is head and shoulders ahead of Ideye. It isn't even a close contest sef. But having said that, his injury problems since joining the EPL is becoming a real concern. And it's weird because he rarely gets injuries when he was in La Liga.

I think we all need to pray seriously for him concerning what's going on in Watford. Something must be wrong somewhere.

Exactly! Yet you don't see the commentators dwelling on it. If that was Nacho, they would never stop talking about it.

We really need to fix and monetize our league so that most of our guys would start playing at home. I am really sick and tired of all the racist refs, coaches, and match announcers in EPL.

And by the way, I agreed with Pep's decision to sub Nacho in the second since they were playing a man down. However, what I can't understand is why he started the game with Navas and left Silva on the bench. Pep would start winning again once he realizes that his best team does not include Navas and Sterling. Those two should always start on the bench. And someone needs to tell him that Nacho can play with Aguero as a support striker. So it doesn't have to be either or.

Bro I did not watch the gane but from the commentaries I read, Nacho lost 2 good chances.
He had his chance but did not take it.
You cannot blame Pep for that. You can only blame Nacho.

Pep perhaps wanted to conserve the strength of his main team against lowly burnley, and it was up to Nacho to perform. But he didnt.

Perhaps Nacho should take a loan move. I read Watford wants him on loan. He stands a better chance of benching Ighalo and partnering successfully with Isaac and Deneey at Watford which would bring him massive improvements.

The situation at city seems to be killing his confidence.

I say....NACHO SHOULD GO ON LOAN!!
Nonsense! When would you natives stop taking the assessments of the racist English pundits in judging our players?

I watched the game, Nacho didn't miss any chance despite all the craps the commentators were saying. On the first chance, anyone could've missed it because the goalie did a fantastic job in coming out. Hence, you shouldn't call that a miss. For the second chance, the ball just fell awkwardly in between his legs and there was no way he could've gotten a clear shot off. Again, that wasn't his fault.

You guys need to watch the game with your eyes open and quit swallowing every crap those racist pundits spue out. The boy tried his best....he was getting into positions but the selfish Raheem Sterling couldn't get passes to him. And by the way, why isn't anyone talking about Raheem Sterling who lost a a very clear cut chance by failing down when he could've scored? What if Aguero didn't save his blushes? Is it because he plays for England?

BS upon BS!!
