He never talk say Messi performed better than Sneijder for World Cup. No body fit talk like that. Lol.

My own be say if Modric deserve 2018 then Sneijder deserve 2010.

I read where he wrote "messi was miles ahead of sneijder in 2010" when you asked who was the better player in the world cup. Maybe he just answered on the entirety of 2010 and not world cup, which I misunderstood.

But that 2018 world cup eh, I'm Still I'm still imagining the reason modric was dashed that world best, cos even the world cup he didn't exactly set it alight or was overall head and shoulder of his teammates sef.

Sha, that's his biggest luck

I'm just reading " if only they listen to us, if only they listen to us"

Who's the us, and how come he knew so much about this so called terrorists that he branded them "us".
If this doesn't prove that this is not politically engineered and govt is just doing tinko tinko with our lives and security, then nothing will.

KingAlabi:
Leave me oh

Leave you?
No be you suppose leave them

You even try give am C+. I love Arteta oo, but that attack na D. How many times have we come from behind to lead?. In fact, most times, when we're scored first, we either lose the game or draw. Why I agree he needs an assistant that's attack minded, I just hope he should be able to listen to his assistant also. Else it'll just be like arsene Wenger and silent bould or Wenger and Pat Rice. Both assistants are just silent

timbros:
What made 2010 World Cup year different from others that Sneijder should be blatantly robbed?

Lol... I think he's already made his point which is different from yours.

He said messi was better than sneijder during the WC and also during the league. So to him, messi deserves it and sneijder wasn't robbed. So I feel until he agree otherwise before he can answer this your question

KingAlabi:
Just saw this and decided to share.

wahala be like wetin again?

patrickmuf:
Methink the award should be given per position because in this age where stats rule, it is almost impossible for a midfielder or defender to win it...

Well, I beg to differ. Attackers give teams goals, gives team confidence, and goals win matches. So it must be really skewed in favor of the attackers. No matter how a team defends or control the midfield, if attack doesn't score, it'll amount to nothing. So I think I agree with the reason why attackers are favoured more.

And in any competition or institution, there normally have the overall best. Yes, there might be best midfielder, best defender and all, but there must really be that overall best. And for the best position, I think that's given with the FIFA best 11, where each acclaimed best in each position is guaranteed a spot(even tho I agree with you that it doesn't covers the " overall best midfielder or defender as you opined).

So that's my point sha

patrickmuf:
2013?

I've even forgotten 2013 sef. I think that's the worst cos they used world cup qualifiers against Sweden to give Ronaldo that.

My opinion is that FIFA should just give this award based on merit according to assessment, instead of votes by captains and coaches of respective clubs and countries. To me it's a very stupid way of deciding a world best or balon dor winner

The thing is neither messi of 2010 and modric of 2018 deserve that award. In fact modric of 2018 didn't even stand out like sneijder of 2010. Well, FIFA best and balon dor (, esp wen they merged it together) has been jokes upon jokes

HitlerGaddafi:
And how do you know all this Mr investigator?

must someone have to investigate for all those symptoms he outlined to manifest? A mother who is close to her daughter must surely see the sign of constant abuse in the body of her tender child

Santiago123:
Appreciate your ideas,we are all Barcelona fans by the way,but can I remind you in neymar last 2 seasons at Barcelona,2015/2016 and 2016/2017,he beat Messi in both dribbling and key passes simultaneously while having more touches despite not being the key man and playing the secondary role,in his first season in psg he averaged 3.5 key pass per game(Messi has never reached that figure in his career in a season) he also completed 7.1 dribbles per game(again Messi has never reached such figures in a single season),neymar expected assist in laliga is also higher than Messi,infact since. 2015 neymar has been beating Messi in both creating and dribbling department and we all know Messi(a goat-level playmaker and dribbler),why am I bringing such comparison?
I am not saying neymar is a better playmaker or dribbler than Messi,all I am saying is that for ronaldinho to be a better playmaker or dribbler than neymar,then he necessarily have to be better than Messi,since neymar is pretty much matching Messi numbers in both department,if you say r10 is better than neymar in those department,then u are virtually saying he was better than Messi too,which I don't think anyone here will agree with you
Neymar also has the highest record figure in whoscored.com over 9.5 (Messi has never reached such figures) I am not asking you to change your opinion btw,but I feel neymar is underrated by people in this forum due to bad decision making and petulance in his career
And I believe that had he not had fitness issue in 2018 world cup ,he would have led Brazil to their elusive 6 world cup trophy in cyruff style(a lot of playmaking but with a sprinkle of Brazilian flair)but thank for your opinion

Is all good tho. It's your opinion, you who are we to hold that against you.

Cheers bro

MaziAlaye:
Ronaldo was the closest person to use in that context

My point is, there's nothing to compare in such scenario. He just gave a point why messi might probably win the balon dor. If you have case for Ronaldo, bring point also why he should win the balon dor.

Dragging Ronaldo past achievements to messi present situation and achievement just seems agenda based. After all, the person you quoted didn't bring or drag Ronaldo into it, so no need for comparisons
You just sounded like mourinho there

MaziAlaye:
At the age of 33, Ronaldo had 62 g/a in 53 games. Ronaldo won his 3rd consecutive CL trophy & scored 15 goals in the 17/18 campaign, facing PSG, Juventus, Bayern & Liverpool, he didn't win the Balloon D'or that year, but Messi at the same age should win it because most of his goals came from lower-half of the laliga table and he won a Copa Dey Rey?? LMAO

Why is it that Ronaldo fans can't just get messi out of their head? Like that's a harmless statement that doesn't concern Ronaldo in any way, so what bring Ronaldo into the discussion now. Na wa oo

Spy360:
Just start praying for Nketiah. I also believe Balogun will get a shot.

Lol... Let balogun hopefully make the bench first

mostob:
Maybe

confirmed: Auba is unavailable.

We'll see who Arteta uses today

mostob:
Who should start tomorrow?

I don't just like the idea of Nketiah leading the line tomorrow

Maybe Auba might be back

Sometimes, in the process of not behaving like a simp, some guys just act immatured and irrational.
Fine, both of you snub each other prior to her birthday, but that didn't stop you two from being "friends" officially. What's wrong in just giving her a birthday text or few mins call and that's it?. You can continue your "snubbing" after that. If she really wants the friendship to continue, she'll try to get your attention back, if not end of discussion. Simple.

And if it carries on till next year up to her birthday, then you can completely ignore her even on her birthday (since it's over a year both of you talked). That's just how life is. Let's be rational wen doing things please

raumdeuter:
But that same dying man won his league comfortably and he only got sick when it was time to play Bayern

2020 it took the uselessness of Chelsea when they were flogged home and away for us to win the trophy

Roland17:
You hear say Schalke fans chase your MCM Mustafi and Vulcanizer/ bouncer Broda Kola after dem lose yesterday.

Lol... This is what it means when bill shankley said football is a matter of life and death

So they can run like that?
If only they put such effort during the season, dem for no relegate na

Santiago123:
I am not deriding your opinion,we are all based to our opinion,what I mean is that even if ronaldinho is superior,the gulf in quality isn't that much IMO,and ronaldinho had both high and lows,stop making it look like ronaldinho was better in all facet of his game,he wasn't the most effective passer(Messi esque)or dribbler,but I can agree that he did it with more finnesse and panache,at the end of the day it is all entertainment value,which is by the way very subjective,the fact that he seems to smile also helps his case
And the fact that he won the balloon d'or albeit not playing in the era of two GOAT LEVEL GOALSCORER in an unbalanced league that seems to be the only reason you pick one over the other,I respect ur opinion though

Bro.... I know it's an opinion and I also respect yours. But those two aren't on same level imho. Ronaldinho is not a better dribbler than messi, but he's a sure dribbler than neymar, a better creator than neymar and a better player than neymar.
Messi and Ronaldo have sure raised the bar, but then let's ask, what has neymar done since he went to PSG. At least, he's supposed to be making waves since he's broken out of Messi's shadow but the height he was expected to reach he didn't.

I mean the rave ronaldinho had as at 2005-2007, I don't think neymar had 50% of it and it even plummeted when he left to PSG. And if you bring the excuse that neymar shone during Ronaldo and messi time which might eclipse his shine (according to you) but under this regime, Salah shone, robben and ribery shone, lewadowski shone, but since neymar left barca, his hasn't shone like that.
Guy neymar and dinho no be mate and most barca fans won't agree with you

eph12:
He thinks it's easy to sustain a certain lifestyle without steady cash flow at a certain level

E tire me oo

Joezinho:
He could've made a loud, clear statement but didn't. (Let's face it, he's richer than rich and will never be short of a job.)

He's under contract.
Is that part of his contract?

So he should just lose his job cos "he's richer than rich"?

[quote author=Santiago123 post=100970850][/quote]Had a red card in the quarterfinals yet still won the man of the match in same match.
Bros, with all due respect, you don't know ronaldinho sha. Na news, blogs and forums you know about him. Just forget.

Santiago123:
.
When iniesta and xavi win one ballin d'or,I will compare them to Luka modric,that is how your methodology backfires,because by ur claim Michael Owen is a better stiker than Henry and cannavaro is a better defender than maldini.

Which of the players you called had 2 balon dors and 1 one world best.

Any player that has 2 or more balon dors is not player you can compare to neymar.
Also, anybody that watched both ronaldinho and neymar play will know it's an irrelevant question you're asking when comparing both.

Abi no be so

Na so na

What's arsenal embarrassed about?
Any club can form today and beat them tomorrow, the club is a fvcking disgrace

Joezinho:
Bro, I thought Klopp was going to be against the ESL, and it was a perfect opportunity for him to make his stand in that interview last night.

Instead he was slagging off Neville and calling the owners good people.. Why defend them?

Isn't it shitty that these money-grabbing arsehole club owners have thrown all the players and managers under the bus?

Fraction disappointed in Klopp for not saying more, publicly, their disdain for this ESL. It’s gonna need a club, manager or owner from one of these clubs to make a real STAND.

I think klopp was against the Super league. He spoke against it yesterday, but he spoke it diplomatically so as not to anger his employers.

adebayo201:
Arsenal fans are quite emotional though. They can take anything.

If those words are for Manchester United or Chelsea, I bet you one person go don start campaign for twitter or Instagram but you see arsenal ehn them go take am like that.

Even Atalanta dey yab Arsenal, like f**cking Atalanta... Omg

Lol... The thing is arsenal fans are fvcking divided, because of how the club is run and this translated to nonchalance from the fans. A club that will receive 5-0 and 6-1s weekly from their rivals and instead of them to buy correct player to correct the rot, they'll buy another 18yr old or inferior players to add salt to injury to arsenal fans pains. A club that's so contended with top 4 when it's obvious that a good signing or two will win you the league.

Arsenal's fans mouth are shut and it seems most clubs or people knows, so we're perceived as the easy target for attack

Spy360:
But now you are over confident?

I'm not, we're playing Villarreal, a decent team who have Emery too.

I'm just hopeful

Joezinho:
Arsenal’s balance sheets are abysmal and getting worse. They were heading on a road to administration in the current format. Arsenal & Tottenham especially need the ESL to maintain relevance both reputation wise & financially. No wonder they are excited about it.

But honestly the introduction of the ESL has really shown me how much the footballing world do not rate Arsenal or Tottenham.. Mou had no business picking up that cursed spurs job in the first place..

As for the ESL, if they want the ESL, let them have it. But they must be kicked out of domestic leagues, UEFA competition, FIFA comps. Football is huge. European football will survive and ultimately flourish regardless of losing 12 teams.

To me I'm even surprised. Like where is the beef and hate coming from? Granted we've been on a downward spiral in recent years but weren't Ac Milan on worse form, inter too? Like are they just looking at arsenal cos they expected more or what?

TrebleChamp:
Wetin Assnal do this people fà? Jodera i thought it was only Naija fans that hate your darling team, see eye opener since ESL announcement....

Me sef e tire me oo. Like arsenal isn't the least team there if we're to go by recent form according to recent years. Ac Milan, Tottenham are the least (to me) and I can possibly add inter. But na so so arsenal everywhere. I no no say na so we get haterz and bad belle people reach .

Like we kill person?

Santiago123:
Well I think RONALDINHO and neymar are comparable.on the statistical front(goals+assists)neymar beats him and beats him emphatically
This of course will hold absolutely no weight in this type of discussion and people will pretend as if it is not a fact
Neymar is a superior finisher,comparable dribbler and a considerable better playmaker his league and national team career are also a cut above
All I see here is a quagmire of confusion, systematic and double standard,which is part and parcel of the propaganda machine that systematically underrates players from the post 2006 world cup era.
And last but not the least ronaldinho wasn't even a regular world class player for 14 of the 20 season he played out in his career
No one will talk about this either

One has 2 balon dor and 1 world best. When the other has at least 1 balon dor, then we can compare
