Is the United State that big? Considering they don't have lots of farms, mostly single large farms, how are they able to produce that much?

😂😂😂 Una funny for this comment section.. As big as you think Nigeria is, the United States is 10 times bigger than Nigeria. From JFK, New York to Honolulu, Hawaii is 11 hours flight. That's from one US state to another.

Yes, the United States is very large, with around 900 million acres of agricultural land, and it relies on large-scale mechanization, fertile geography, and specialized operations rather than small hand-tended plots.

honest truth we don't love football over here in Nigeria.

We love football, we just don't love it enough to love our league.

What the f<ck is wrong with Alonso with benching Welbeck even when Joao Pedro is not available? Chelsea was lacking that hold off play a center forward brings to the game.

Morgan Rodgers is better playing from the left and not center forward. Who the f<ck is Quenda....

Tottenham were by far the better team today as they have been in all other matches they have not been successful in.. A well deserved victory.

I'm a Chelsea fan, and my verdict is that Chelsea is just a little bit above an average team.. See the depth in Arsenal squad, they won't miss players who are not available.. Imagine Cole Palmer and Joao Perdo not playing for Chelsea

Freshtruth:
we are not a football nation we are just deceiving ourselves trust me

I'm beginning to think in this direction. We are not the best team in Africa, our league can barely make the list of the top ten leagues in Africa and our football clubs have only won the CAF champions League just twice.. As a matter of fact, we have never been the best team in Africa. But as usual we like to think we are the best in everything in Africa and that's why we are retrogressing.

Until we begin to embrace this reality of us not being the best, we will not see any real progress.

RaptorX:
Which karma, you better do all you can to get your money back. Except you don't have evidence and it's a matter of he said you said.

The only evidence I have is the receipt.

I wouldn't even want to sue someone that close to me. That's why it's a bad idea lending money to people who are close to you. I will just let it slide and learn my lesson and move on..

plessis:
wild to remember enrique actually visited chelsea to apply for the job of manager, only for chelsea to choose graham potter.

You are partially right but not entirely. Actually Graham Potter was already manager before Enrique flew out to London to meet Chelsea's owners. Enrique interviewed for the job after Potter was sacked in April 2023, instead Chelsea chose Frank Lampard as interim and later hired Mauricio Pochettino..

Enrique wasn't too sure about the structure at Chelsea and why they would hire Lampard as interim manager instead of hiring him straight away. So, while he was still without a club and waiting till the end of the season to know Chelsea's decision, PSG came calling and he accepted to sign with them, which turns out to be the best decision for him. I doubt he would have still been at Chelsea..

Basicend:
It's because they usually rest their best players for UCL.

That's the cheat code that is always giving them an edge.
They use their 2nd team often for League 1 matches.

Other clubs in UCL have many of their players stretched during the weekend.

Excuses upon excuses.. Is it now they started resting players in their league, why haven't they won the Champions League all those years. This is the least star studded PSG squad over the last decade and half FYI.. They just have a good team now that's the difference. Y'all should stop all these excuses and give them their dues.

If Barca end up beating them now y'all would change mouth.

borie4u:
Gordon deserve to sit in the bench for 10games. Very poor and over rated player

Na English player na. Kick the ball and run is all they know how to do. They are all stereotypical and rigid. No fluidity, no ball composure or tactical abilities.. The only 2 exceptions I can think of is Harry Kane and Rooney in his prime.

I foolishly and stupidly loaned $2500 to a friend in August, till now he still hasn't even paid me not even $100 from it.. You know the kind of trust I must have had for someone for me to willingly lend him that amount. Yet he betrayed my trust.

Someone actually advised me to sue him but I'm not going to do that. I will just let it go instead and let karma take over. People sue for as little as $100 😂😂

I'm never lending anyone money again in my life. They almost always never repay it. The most I will do if I'm being asked for a loan is to give them for free what I can afford and willing to spare.

Murketeer:
So you didn't even understand what I wrote

Bro, trust me I read it. It's all excuses. Y'all will always find something to use as excuse to undermine your oppositions club success. This same PSG struggled since its creation to win the Champions League until they won it 2 years straight..

Murketeer:
PSG are very strong because they have two separate teams..one for league games..and the other for champions league football...they can rest all their stars and afford them less minutes of football to keep them fresh for the champions league because their league is shit ...they can't try that in the EPL ...and why are they so strong and wealthy ?... because they are state owned...they can outspend the rest of other clubs ...They have been breaching FFP rules for years ..just like Man city has been doing ...I know They can't get punished in france...unlike Man City who might get punished later

You EPL fans with excuses upandan. When things don't go your ways y'all blame it on fatigue.. Go and check the years Madrid won Champions League 3 times consecutively, they were playing all their important players in every Laliga match. They dare not bench BBC or modric when they had Barca and Messi to contend with. They still went ahead and be successful in the Champions League. Nothing I hate more than excuses in my life.

When PSG defeated Madrid 4 - 0 in the Club World Cup, every opposition fans were praising them and emphasizing how they were going to disgrace Chelsea in the final. Eventually Chelsea ended up disgracing them in the final and every one of y'all started blaming it on fatigue again..

PSG has had better players than these current set of players in the past and they couldn't win it. Y'all forgot so quick that they have been trying for years and nobody blamed it on shiity League or fatigue. But the minute they started getting the results, all of a sudden everyone remembers fatigue is a thing.

Y'all should learn to give honor to whom it's due. When you are good you are good. This is their time. Everyone of you should accept the fact that they might end up winning it 3 times on a bounce just like Madrid.

Maybe premier League teams should stop wasting Champions League final so much and start winning every final they reach. No Spanish team has lost a final in the 21st century. 26 years. Think about it.

If you don't have time to argue, then don't reply.

You people are just funny. Arsenal's EPL win last year was achieved so "easily"?

Your mention of their win over Chelsea vs my mention of Chelsea's win over them only further proves my poin that: In the EPL, they will beat other teams and they will be beaten frequently as well. No smooth sail guaranteed.

A certain Liverpool team couldn't win the EPL with 97 points. This PSG team isn't better than that team.

And your mention of Arsenal's disgraceful football adds nothing to the argument here. The point is they could not beat Arsenal in 90 minutes. That Arsenal team didn't come from the Serie A!

Liverpool were good that year they finished 97 points that's why they won the champions League. In fact Liverpool were so good that's why they played in back to back Champions League final. You can't be claiming to be the toughest league in the world and not transforming it to Europe.

Nigerian premier League is very tough, Check the point difference between the top teams and the bottom teams. Brazilian and Argentine league are tough also. In these 3 leagues I'm using as examples above, you will hardly see a 4 - 0, or 5 - 0 victories. Which is a weekly occurrence in the EPL. In fact in the EPL, the related teams are so poor that you can easily tell they are going to be relageted. They can barely go above 30 points..

I repeat, it's only the EPL two teams at the top were able to accumulate 98 and 97 points.

webincomeplus:
Calm down and read between the lines. I never said they can't win the EPL. What I said won't be as easy as it sounds is "winning the EPL 3 times in a row". That's if they get to win it at all. They aren't any better than the same Liverpool team that still couldn't win the EPL with 97 points!

Mind you, the Chelsea that flogged this same. PSG in the Club World Cup Final didn't come from La Liga. It was even a not-so-impressive Chelsea team that didn't even finish in the EPL top 3 at the time.

The same PSG couldn't beat Arsenal in regulation time in the last final. So, thinking the EPL will be a smooth run for them is just being myopic.

Oga I don't have time to argue. Every team that has won the EPL trophy has done so easily in recent times. Only the Italian league is competitive if we really want to consider it.

Stop being clever by half by mentioning Chelsea flogging them and omitting the 8 - 2 aggregate they beat Chelsea last season.

Even Barca in their prime Messi era didn't have this much victory over EPL teams.

By the way, which final are you talking about? The same final that Arsenal played a disgraceful football in? The superiority PSG showed in the final is too much.

Kalulu44:
Unfortunately the likes of Brentford, Brighton and co will be their stumbling block. But truly you're right they are annihilating English clubs left right and centre.

Stumbling block won't stop them from dominating the EPL with this their team of the last 3 years. Were there not stumbling blocks when man City won it 4 times consecutively

webincomeplus:
Not as easy as it sounds. They will have had to play against 19 tough teams week in, week out. You can't compare that to playing softer teams consistently.

I'm not taking anything from the quality of PSG, but the EPL is a tough league that they might not be able to withstand its rigour over 38 matches. Every team is ready to teach you a lesson if you slacken!

Yes, you can beat EPL teams in cup competitions because you meet them weeks to months apart. You can't compare that to playing them once or twice every week. They will tire out. Almost every team in the EPL is a tough nut to crack.

There's a reason why players like Lacazette after losing all his steam at Arsenal still went to the Ligue 1 to become the second top scorer after Mbappe. He scored only 4 goals in his last season at Arsenal, got to Marseille the next season (2022/2023), and scored 27 goals! That's just one of many instances.

Also, there's a reason why the mid-table and bottom-table clubs in England usually shine in the Europa League and conference league where they get to meet mid-table clubs from other leagues.

Oga rest jare. There's nothing tough in those 19 oppositions if you are good. It's the same 19 EPL team that Man City used to get their 99 point in a single season which not even Barca or Real Madrid in La Liga have done or even PSG in France.

For your last paragraph, that only recently started happening. Unless you want to tell me EPL only started getting tough recently.

You see that your Lacazette reference, that's the same lame excuses and reasons fellow EPL fans use.

PSG has really dealt with these EPL clubs in recent history.

If you put this PSG team in EPL to compete, they would have won the last three EPL titles in a role.

Which kind topic be this. Na only home them dey wear joggers before?

Eniolohunda:
People in Nigeria caused the reduction of black tax with their attitude, and they keep showing the abroadians that all we care about is getting your money and we don't care about you. And the abroadians started using their head too.

This right here is the absolute truth.

An average Nigerian, be it male or female, cannot engage in a conversation with Abroadians without digressing to ask for money. No matter what you try to discuss with them, they must find a way to chip in subtle ideas on how to ask for money.

It's so irritating. The mistake any Abroadian will make is to give them the first time. If you do,they will remember to ask you for money again in less than 2 weeks after you gave them for the slightest of financial discomfort.. They will start spamming and bombarding your WhatsApp with plea messages. They just don't know when or how to stop asking after you have given them previously.

Yakubu was the most consistent Super Eagles player and third highest scoring African player in the Premier League after Salah and Drogba. Was he world class? No. But he belongs in the conversation with the names you mentioned.

Yakubu is now sitting 5th in the updated list.

Smartguyboy:
iPhone is not even top 5 phone only in USA and shithole third world countries worship iPhone.

Which USA worship iPhone. USA don't worship anything expensive let alone iPhones that everybody uses here. It's only in Nigeria you have to be rich to use an iPhone. In US, iPhone usage is the standard, no matter your job you can easily get an iPhone, all you have to do is sacrifice your one week wage.

In my place of work, all the lowest of the lowest income earners use iPhones (high-end ones, not iPhone 11 and co). iPhone in the US is equivalent to how Nigerians use tecno and infinix and touch light phones.

Poverty na bastard. If Burnaboy like let him drive his Bugatti to any neighborhood in the US, nobody would send let alone mob him for money or whatever. It's not like Americans are rich, they just don't worship material things because all that matters to them is that they can almost all get a car if they want to. It's not a big deal. Moreover, they have not tasted the type of poverty (which I think is the main reason Nigerians behave the way they do around material things) that most Nigerians have tasted. Their own standard of poverty is different from Nigeria's own.

Nigerians purchasing power can't buy anything, that's why they see everything as luxury.

MT:
Have you been to the UK before? You are calling the 5th largest economy in the world over rated. You must be funny, right.

You dey mind Nigerians. If they can no longer go to any country and make money legally or illegally in short period of time, they call that country overrated. They don't bother to care about how well a country is being run for the collective benefits of the citizens. All they care about is money. That's why you see so many individual mansions and expensive cars in a very remote areas with bad roads, no pipe borne water nor electricity in many Nigerian communities..

Nigeria is about 3.8 times larger than the United Kingdom by land area

Nigeria's population is about 3.3 to 3.5 times larger than the population of the United Kingdom

Yet their economy is about 4trillion dollars while Nigeria's is merely 250 to 300billion dollars.

And a Nigerian that his citizens can barely eat 2 times a day is calling UK overrated just because migrating there, for one reason or the other doesn't favor him economically.

Loud mounted empty Brain individuals who can't hold their leaders accountable but yet blaming every other countries for their atrocities.

Donaruma doing his usual

How can someone look so tall and strong, yet be so weak?

I think Donaruma is one of the most error prone keepers I have ever known and I don't consider him all that good. The error he made that let to Benzema scoring them in PSG vs Madrid then is still very fresh in my memory.

..12 years old girl big and mature like that

Na ajebo na, what do you expect. It's not about being big though, merely looking at the little girl's face you can easily tell she's a baby. She was given birth to after 2baba officially wedded Annie.

Haaland missed a sitter!!! This game should have been buried by now.

Sunderland is uniquely the only Premier League opponent Erling Haaland has faced multiple times without scoring a single goal..

Some record are just too stubborn to be broken. Though I have a feeling he will score in this match.

Bro you're not even comparing like for like 😂

Yes the federal minimum wage in the US hasn't been updated since 2009 but the reality is the federal minimum wage in the USA isn't really relevant like in Nigeria. States actually determine their own minimum wages. The federal wage was initially pushed when many states were not implementing minimum wages so a federal minimum wage was established to force the states to but since then states have been updating their wages and eg states like Illinois where I live have a minimum wage of $15 so the federal rate isn't really relevant. Some states like DC NYac etc have min wage of $17 and above.

And the reason it makes sense for states to determine minimum wage is that cost of living varies widely across states, NYC cost is very different from Alabama so a federal minimum wage doesn't make sense and just led to fights in Congress about how if they increase it to levels Democrats in eg NYC want then it punishes low cost states and if they keep it at low rate for low income states it pushes poverty in higher cost states so resolution was states determine minimum wages.

You're trying to compare apples with bananas by using the US Federal minimum wage as proof that Nigeria is doing better 😂

The way you guys keep parroting this US minimum wage is $7 like you know what you're talking about is hilarious 😂

Leave that ignorant guy that likes comparing light to darkness. He didn't see Ghana or Togo to use as example, he went all the way to USA who is millennium ahead of us..

Nobody who is documentarily eligible to live and work in the US collects $7/hr for any job in my state. The lowest anyone would accept for minimum pay, like you said is $15..

UrVillageChief:
You need to change this your silly line of thinking before you start birthing children o🙏🏽. So because those weren’t penalized due to the EPL’s refereeing inconsistency, players should be left to kill one another on the field of play in order to pursue fairness? Is that not what you mean?. Amazing, clap for yourself. Why not start forgiving killers and violent criminals and throw away our prisons’ keys since our law enforcers can’t practically arrest every criminal?😂. Idiotic innit?
What’s happening to our youths these days for crying out loud? This can’t be ordinary. Besides, how many United fans are defending all those incidents you listed? So why making it look as if they defended them but are lamenting now? How old are you my friend?

And you think your line of thinking is not silly for deviating from football matters to talking about birthing of children.

In order word, you are saying it's Okay for Bruno Fernandez to harm Folden, but it's a crime for Folden to react...

Stop asking how old I am and stay on the topic. Don't you realize you are the one behaving like a child for asking such question?

Don't mention me again if you can't stay on the topic without going personal

manuelkel:
No, that is not the law. Foden deserved the red because he overreacted. The ref was there, you can't raise your two boots at your opponent's groin and expect fair treatment. He was too indisciplined and deserved it. Bruno not awarded a yellow card was a cheat as well. Had Foden not overreacted Bruno would have gotten a red or yellow.

Do you need me to show you many occasions where both players were sent off for bad tackle like what Fernandez did and for bad reaction like Folden?

You only not give red card to Bruno if the foul he committed is in another nature, not deliberately kicking someone in the butt who's already on the ground... That's a red card offense on its own. Ronaldo did the same thing against Liverpool in his second spell at Man U and he got away with it also.

Arsenal's Gabriel kicked Chelsea's keeper in the head 2 weeks ago and got away with it without even a yellow card.

Maguire did worse than what Folden did to Batshuayi with both legs and wasn't red carded. So now are you telling me that if Batshuayi would have reacted only he would have gotten a red card?.

UrVillageChief:
So when and where did you see me defending any of those incidents you mentioned? So because I said what Foden did was wrong and you didn’t see my comment about what Gabriel did, so automatically according to you, I’m supporting him, right?
So according to you, the best way to correct a wrong thing is by committing another wrong, abi? Clap for yourself my friend🤣
Regardless of whatever must have happened, kicking your opponent’s lower torso is a straight red card offense and so is Gabriel’s kicking of Martinez’s head. The EPL not penalizing Gabriel shows the level of inconsistency in the league and isn’t that what I’ve been saying? I don’t understand you sir.

Then y'all should stop acting like you have not benefited from the same inconsistencies in the past.

UrVillageChief:
Many of these kids don’t know the difference between bantering and claiming falsehood to be facts.
One was arguing with me yesterday and I can remember telling him and predicting that PGMOL would release a statement apologizing soon and they did today🤣🤣
Another one was even telling me that I didn’t know more than the officials🤣 imagine o. Like na today I start to dey watch ball.
I knew they would apologize abi no be EPL?
You can banter and call United all sorts of name but please, don’t play on other people’s intelligence. I fit laff you but that doesn’t mean I should start saying dust. I support United and while Bruno should have been shown a yellow card at least, Foden indeed deserved that red card and even other penalties. You don’t kick your opponent’s groin just because he upset you first.

Did you have this same energy when Maguire intentionally kicked Batshuayi then?

Please go on YouTube and watch the incident, if you don't come back and testify that it's worse than this very one, I'd know you are not a truthful person.

Did you also watch how Gabriel kicked Martinez in the face unprovoked last 2 weeks against Chelsea, not even a yellow card was branded..

mycar:
VAR was invented for this erratic Michael Oliver and the silly man still refused to use it. the same man that sent the wrong arsenal player off in one game between Chelsea and Arsenal for handle ball offense committed by Oxlade.
both Foden and the goal should have been reviewed by him but he did not deem it fit.

That wasn't Michael Oliver. That was Andre Marriner
