HT Real Madrid 1-0 PSG

Madrid currently playing PSG.And after 25 mins it's Madrid(Jese) 1-0 PSG

I am already getting tired of all this ballon d'or threads when it is obvious we already know the winner.

If Ghana wants to qualify for the next stage of the world cup, they need to beat USA, draw with portugal, and draw with Germany.That's if they are really lucky.

Na wa oo.A match that is more than a month away, you have already created the thread.

No shaking.Have you forgotten that we have Enyeama in goal?.They are the ones who should be afraid, not us.

RIP, sir.

But seriously Yaya toure is a fantastic player.

ambrosini593: Please go with your bias rating. Ribery is by far the best player of 2013. You are giving it to Ronaldo because of September to November performance. This must be a joke

Oga, he was not the one that voted.It was nairaland that voted.

That was a lucky win for Arsenal.We shall see how long they are able to hold on to top spot.

Well, I wish Mikel the best.I hope he wins the award.Let us give him our full support.

The Lord is Wonderful.Happy New Year.

I can't wait oo.My fireworks(banger) is ready.I am painting this town red.

As for me, I already have my fireworks, ready to paint the town red.After that, I will thank God for a wonderful 2013 and pray that 2014 will be a better and more fufilling year than 2013.

What about you, how are you celebrating?


*Happy New Year to all Nairalanders.I pray that this year will be great for you, your family, friends and Nigeria, Amen*

But CAF really fvcked up oo.So after Enyeama's superb performance for club and country, he still didn't make the final three.

Nigeria midfielder, John Obi Mikel, has been named among the final three shortlists for the 2013 African Footballer of the Year.Caf announced on Tuesday that current African Footballer of the Year, Yaya Toure will be battled for the biggest individual football prize on the continent by his countryman, Didier Drogba and Chelsea star, Mikel.

"The Ivorian pair of Yaya Toure and Didier Drogba make the final three for a second successive year and will be joined by John Obi Mikel of Nigeria.The winner will be
announced on the 9th of January 2014 at the GLO-CAF Awards Gala to be held in Lagos Nigeria," Caf announced on its official website on the eve of New Year's Day.

However, Mikel is not the only Nigerian in the running for an individual honour as 2013 Africa Cup of Nations hero, Sunday Mba, is also in the race to bag the African Footballer of the Year for players based in Africa.

Mba faces two big hurdles in Egyptian duo, Ahmed Fathy and Mohamed Abou Trika.

"In the African Player of the year ( based in Africa) category the winner will be selected from Egyptians Ahmed Fathy and Mohamed Abou Trika with Nigerian Sunday Mba also in contention.The winner will also be announced at the Awards Gala in Lagos on the same night," Caf said in a statement.

Manchester City and Ivory Coast midfielder, Yaya Toure is the reigning African Footballer of the Year and Abou Trika current holds the African Footballer of the Year for players based in Africa.

“You want to compare me to Ibra? Well, that's a compliment... for him!"
Mario Balotelli when a reporter likened him to Zlatan Ibrahimovic

12. Argentine
Famous tongues:Fernando Lamas,
Gabriela Sabatini

A historical refuge for Spaniards, Italians and Germans, the hyper-libidinous South Ameripean melting pot of Argentina has cultivated a proud, pouty tone. With its own pronunciation of Spanish letters (“ll” sounds like “shh”) and its own words (“you” is “vos”), this is a dialect that’s hard to get.(Or at least plays that way.)

Sounds like: A tightly tuned guitar of G- strings strummed by a lamb shank

11. Thai
Famous tongues:Tony Jaa, Tata Young

With five tones comprising their native speech, the traffickers of this often fragile accent turn any language into a song of seduction. Thai is largely monosyllabic, so multi-beat foreign words get extra emphases right up until the last letter, which is often left off, leaving the listener wanting more. (Or at least asking “Huh?” lustfully.) Sounds like: R-rated karaoke

10. Trinidadian
Famous tongues:Nikki Minaj, Billy Ocean

For fetishists of oddball sexuality, the Caribbean island of Trinidad offers an undulating, melodic gumbo of pan-African, French, Spanish, Creole and Hindi dialects that, when adapted for English, is sex on a pogo stick.

Sounds like: A rubber life raft bobbing on a sea of steel drums

9. Brazilian Portuguese
Famous tongues:Alice Braga, Anderson Silva

Perhaps owing to its freedom from French influence, the Brazilian Portuguese accent has a more colorful, puerile flair than its coarser European counterpart.The
resulting yowl of drawn-out vowels reveals a flirty freedom of spirit that sounds like a permanent vacation.

Sounds like: The near, then far, then near again hum of a low-wattage vacuum cleaner that runs on dance sweat

8. U.S. Southern
Famous tongues:Matthew McConaughy, Britney Spears

There’s nothing sexy about being in a hurry, and you could clock the growth rate of grass with the honeyed drawl -- less Tea Party, more “True Blood” -- of a Southern beau or belle.

Sounds like: Molasses taking a smoking break

7. Oxford British
Famous tongues:Hugh Laurie, Sienna Miller

Authoritative.Upright.Erudite.Scholarly.Few accents promise the upward nobility of the Queen’s English.It’s a take on the language that sets hearts devoted to James Bond and Hermione Granger aflutter.And, should the speaker fail to slake your most wanton desires, eh, at least you’ll learn something.

Sounds like: A crisply ironed shirt playing a harp

6. Irish
Famous tongues:Colin Farrell, Andrea Corr Valued slightly more
in men than in women, the Irish brogue is a lilting, lyrical articulation that’s charming, if not exotic.Fluid and uplifting, it can swing from vulnerable to threatening over the course of a sentence, restoring your faith in the world again … right before it stabs you with a broken bottle top.

Sounds like: A marauding pixie

5. Nigerian
Famous tongues:King Sunny Adé, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde

Dignified, with just a hint of willful naiveté, the deep, rich “oh’s” and “eh’s” of Naija bend the English language without breaking it, arousing tremors in places other languages can’t reach.Kinda makes the occasional phone scam worth the swindle.

Sounds like: The THX intro with teeth

4. Czech
Famous tongues : Petra Nemcova, Jaromír Jágr

Like Russian, without the nettlesome history of brutal, iron-fisted despotism, Czech is a smoky, full-bodied vocal style that goes well with most meats. Murky and mysterious, the Bohemian tone is equal parts carnal desire and carnival roustabout.

Sounds like: Count Dracula, secret agent

3. Spanish
Famous tongues:Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz

Sensual and beckoning, but with the passion to unleash hell kept just barely restrained, Castilian is like a dialectic Hoover Dam.But then there’s the lisp.Tender, vulnerable and cute as a baby’s hangnail -- no one owns the “th” sound formed by tongue and teeth like those who speak the language of Cervantes.

Sounds Like: An outboard motor on Lake Paella

2. French
Famous tongues:Sophie Marceau, Jean Reno

The demotion of this perennial prizewinner of global brogues to second place may illustrate the declining sexuality of Old World petulance.Still, the come-hither condescension and fiery disinterest of the French tongue remains paradoxically erotic.

Sounds like: A 30-year-old teenager

1. Italian
Famous tongues:Monica Bellucci, Alessandro Del Piero

Raw, unfiltered and as grabby to ears as its president is to rears, the Italian accent is a vowelgasm that
reflects the spectrum of Italic experience: the fire of its bellicose beginnings … the romance of the Renaissance … the dysfunction of anything resembling a government since Caesar. Insatiable, predatory and possessive, this is sex as a second language.

Sounds like: A Ferrari saxophone

Is it a good idea to let children watch Tv since there are a lot of corrupt music videos, movies and programs nowadays?.If yes, at what age should children start watching TV?

I am not having any high hopes of this CHAN team.They have not been impressive to me.

[size=24pt]UKWU!!!![/size]

dellynike: for an artiste to win next rated,he mustnt have an album yet.Burna boy has an album already..hence his loss.

If he had no chance of winning, then why did he get nominated?

gbensright: EVERYTHING YOU ASSUME RAE NOT TRUE,FLAVOUR GOT 2 AWARD ONE FOR BEST COSTUME AND THE OTHER I CANT REMEMBER

Big Lie.Flavour didn't win any award at the headies.Maybe you are talking about NMVA.

Was the cake made with diamond candles?

The award was an eyesore.They really messed up.

Isn't there a bayern and barca thread.Take your arguments somewhere else.This place is only meant for royalty.

What is that event that happened in 2013 that you will never forget?

Guykhena: Um messi If not for his injury's he would have rob ronaldo off his title

Is it Ronaldo's fault that Messi got injured?

O.K let me make a serious guess.
