SportsRe: Fifa Best Player Awards : Is There A Conspiracy Against Dutch Players? by Icon79(m):
Actually, ALL of Cristiano Ronaldo's awards were all gifts. If Ballon d'Or is given to the real best players in the world then ONLY Messi would've been winning it since 2009. The fact of the matter is, Messi has been the best player in the world for the past 10 years … not giving him all the Ballon d'Or over the years simply because didn't win the UCL has been the most unfair thing ever. And individual award should be based solely on individual performance not on how many trophies the teams win.

And by the way, FIFA has only changed the Ballon d'Or rules once in their history - when they extended the voting deadline in 2013. And their goal on that voting extension was to help Cristiano Ronaldo win the award. As a matter of fact, even Sepp Blatter openly confessed it himself. Read all about it here (unlike you, I don't make stuffs up):

NORSYK:
Fifa always put Messi ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo. At least three of the Messi's awards are gifts. Every year the rules keep changing simply to favour Messi. If it's not team performance, then it's a so-called individual performance. When Messi is nowhere, then the awards go to someone else. This is just robbery!

Listen, those awards mean nothing these days. The whole thing has become politics, popularity contests and publicity stunts - no thanks to one Cristiano Ronaldo. For instance, once it becomes obvious that Cristiano Ronaldo isn't gonna be a factor in this year's Ballon d'Or (after Juve got knocked out of the Champions League), the entire Cristiano's PR team went all in to campaign for VVD as the next Ballon d'Or winner. Their goal was simple: anyone but Messi to win it.

Your first paragraph though but lemme tell you...

You don't have to be a prisoner before you know the consequences of engaging in criminal activities neither do you have to be a married man before knowing how to handle situations.

In life you learn from your environment via experience of people or that of yourself. Meanwhile, the latter could be dangerous (what OP is passing through) while the former guard against experiencing the latter.

A man must know how to handle his affairs without involving people... The OP bringing his problem to the forum shows how WEAK he is and it is why his wife is using his destiny to play draft.

He has to take action NOW! He doesn't even need to sample opinion before knowing what to do.. #MyOpinion
FamilyRe: I’m Suspecting My Wife by Icon79(m): 5:17pm On Sep 23, 2019
You're apparently not married, bro. You might think you can handle all these things until you get yourself entangled in one.

Meanwhile, I think he's handling it in his own way. He's just looking for a good advice before he does something drastic … however, I agree that the social media is probably not the best avenue to handle the situation. When it comes to marital issue(s), I am a big believer that the two people involved are "best" situated to finding a lasting solution to the problem(s).

Thrash. Ignore anyone that describes your needs as insecurities. In marriage, every spouse male or female should have what is called an emotional safety net/nest.

Your home should be your nest from the worries of this life and its the duty of your wife to create such an harmonious home. Its what my Italian friends would say give them a finger, they'll ask for the hand.

People take liberty too lightly. What an absolute nonsense. You need to communicate your needs about what you're not comfortable with without feeling shunned or damned. I see no insecurities in this


She has abandoned your emotional needs in chase of God knows what frivolous adventures of Tom Sawyer she's chasing at 94.


She's on a slippery path to destruction. I don't need a magician to foretell a bad end on this path. Its either by communication or another means, but find way to bring her back. She has drifted the course. Stop waiting for the bad to happen to say I was tight, rather fight to grown your relationship.


Have someone she respects talk to her, that her present actions is a threat to the marital union and depriving you of peace.


All this autonomous entities within marriages these days sef

Where is MissJoy29 and Aweleawkaetiti


H one last truth , she has finished seeing you and you don't have anything in stock she hasnt seen. She don see you ffinish. To beat her at this game is to psychologically defeat her in the matrix. I'll be brief on this though there's a lot to say here. Behave differently , not your predictable self as you've lost this angle. If a woman can fully predict a man, he loses the edge.

Again, you might be 100 correct on your assessment of him. I mean, Aribo might turn out to be the missing piece in our midfield; however, what I am saying is that we need to see more games from him (in the green and white) before we can make that call. And I am not insisting that Etebo has to be a starter either so I will be happy if Aribo is an upgrade on Etebo and Ndidi. We just need to wait and see.

Like I said prior to the AFCON, I have noticed that Wilfried Ndidi doesn't seem to perform for the Super Eagles as he does for Leicester City. And I think that that is because he feels that he has become indispensable for the Super Eagles but, watch out, he'd step up once he's no longer guaranteed a starting position in the team.


O pari

TheSuperNerd:
Etebo is tried and tested. No one and I mean no one should be arguing that. He is battle-tested and one of our finest lieutenants and still has youth on his side.

But again he doesn't transit plays very well. Aribo does it better. Aribo interprets the CM role much better than Etebo and that is what I am standing on.
We want the best team for the Super Eagles right? Then let us focus on presenting the best and not minding who and who is tried and tested.

Tried and tested does not always translate to "He can do the job very well." Let us go for the rounder pegs in round holes and best players who can interpret their roles superbly.
