I just Had a Dream..... Nig u20 vs Bra u20 = 6 - 1,

With the way i am seeing 5-1 and 6-1 predictions and dreams, i hope a lot of people do not get disappointed if we end up winning by a slim margin or playing a draw.Remember this is U-20 level where European and South american players peak.The Brazilian players are not in New zealand to take selfies with the fans.

I notice that this Manu Garba team always makes the final with the team they open any major tournament with, at Caf u.17 championship in 2013 they open and end the tournament against Ivoire' coast(they lost the both matches), the same happened some months later at the U.17 fifa world cup, which they start and end with Mexico including a 6:1 thrashing. Again, Earlier this year at Caf u.20 championship they also start and end against Senegal. Will this tournament be the same? It look likely considering the capabilty and achievement of the two teams.. I JUST CAN'T WAIT

Nigeria started the 2013 CAF U17 tournament against Ghana not Cote d'ivoire.We played Cote d'ivoire in the 2nd group game and that was the only tournament this current team didn't win.I hope we meet Brazil in the final of the U20.

i hope ur talking about messi and not penaldo that is scared to show himself in crucial matches..

Hater spotted.I would only be wasting my time trying to convince a hater.Goodbye.

IzonOwei:
oboy abeg put factz here...messi played more games than whhich ronaldo...

What i posted there were facts and that was why i specified the amount of games played.Messi played a total of 31 league games last season, started in 29 of those 31 games and played a total of 2518 minutes.Ronaldo played a total of 30 league games and played a total of 2563(Just 45 minutes less played than the 'injured' Messi).

Overhyped?? Surely not Isco!

He is a classic spanish attacking midfielder! He is an exact replica of Iniesta!
Hazard is a learner near him!

The day Madrid will be foolish enough to let him go enn, he'll be the hottest property in the world!

The current Isco is better than iniesta when he was 23.He is the future of the spanish midfield.

homesteady:
Poor Ancelloti!!!!

I hope he swears for madrid that they won't win any UCL for at least 12 years like how Del Bosque did

That would be unfair to the players who have no say over the actions of the board.

omar22:
During a penalty for Barcelona Messi handed the ball to Neymar to complete his hatrick, whereas CR7 was demanding for the electric chair for Abeloa (his team mate) for tapping in a ball that he was meant to tap in.

During a league match against Bilbao this season when Ronaldo was on a brace, he was left one on one with the GK and chose to pass to Benzema (who scored) instead of scoring and completing a hat-trick(He later completed his hat-trick though).But people won't remember that as that is not the selfish Ronaldo they want to see.Haters will broadcast your failures, but whisper your success.

omar22:
Was it last season Messi got Argentina to the world cup final? CR7 couldn't get Portugal out of a group that had both Ghana and USA in it. At Madrid even at United the whole team work for Ronaldo and G Bale is been demonized because he is trying to be single minded. Messi is a team player see how quickly Suarez settled in them.

How about Neymar? How quickly did he settle last season.Was Ronaldo given credit on how quickly Bale settled in Madrid last season? Gareth bale is being demonized not because he is being 'single-minded' but because he is being selfish and unlike Ronaldo, Bale's selfishness is not yielding any fruit(goals).His selfishness almost cost madrid the UCL last season as he had about 3 chances which he should have passed to an unmarked player or scored but chose to waste.He was repeating the same this season and it cost Madrid league points.

IzonOwei:
if u take your time to watch ronaldo this season you would find out that the football he played was all for himself...all in a bid to outplay messi...while messi didnt give a damn,played team football and now will reclaim his world best...according to the OP who is a good match watcher he observed that the CL and copa del ray madrid won was championed by bale and ramos while penaldo was no where to be found...rather he was waiting to play a penalty just to remove his shirt later like he played all the match that day...ronaldo can win the golden shoe for laliga this season but ofcourse that wont award him the best player since he could not lead his team to victory...
I swear there has never been a season where messi and ronaldo were both in full form and ronaldo played better than messi.If there has been a season like that don't fail to remind me..Thank you

I watched him all through the season and noticed that he has been selfless right from the beginning.

IzonOwei:
we alll know barca had a lot of problems...coping with a coach who was down with cancer and the team trying to recover..and we all know messi suffered from an injury and returning..missed a whole lot matches...but critically checking the stats he still almost tied up with penaldo..i to outplay messi...while messi didnt give a damn,played team football and now will reclaim his world best...

LIES.Tata martino was not suffering from cancer, it was Tito vilanova and that was 2 seasons ago not last season.Critically checking the stats last season, Messi played more league games(31) than Ronaldo(30) who also suffered an injury towards the end of last season.Find another excuse.

I was starting to see reason in your article until you stated that Ramos and Bale handed Real madrid the UCL last season.I never knew the group stage games, round of 16, q-final don't matter.According to you, the UCL starts at the semi-final and final.In case you didn't know Ronaldo had the 2nd highest assists for Real madrid in the UCL last season only behind Di maria despite scoring the most goals in the UCL.You also said that any leading winger would do well with Players like di maria, alonso and co in Real madrid.I would like to know how well the likes of Ashley young and Robben has done since these players left Real.The truth is that Ronaldo would make any average midfielder look good due to his phenomenal one-touch finishing.What made you more of a hypocrite was when you said 'Two of Ronaldo's four major trophies was because of Bale and one due to mourinho's tactical genius'.When it comes to Ronaldo it is the genius of the coach, but when another player is involved then it is his brilliance.

IzonOwei:
it seems you dont watch laliga anymore...messsi has given 50 percent of assists in barca...messi's approach to games is not about himself but the team...watch how he celebrates with neymar and suarez and you would see the drive he has for the team...ronaldos case is different...when match gets really hard,instead of ronaldo witdrawing back into d midfield to pull the strings he runs straight to the box 18 to struggle for goals with benzema,bale etc....

Then explain to me how he has the most assists for his team this season.2 behind messi in the league, and one behind Messi in the UCL since he spends his time in the 18 yard box.What happened to Messi last season when Ronaldo had more goals and more assists than him in the UCL and Barca went trophyless?

blank:
For real? Wish him all the best. So who have they lined up as a replacement?

Rafael Benitez.

usbcable:
@bolded,
by refusing to play the bench except when its 1 minute into injury time of a useless game?

The guy no sabi man management. He pleases only a few players at the detriment of others.
Milan team became so old that replacing them lead to a capitulation of the squad.

I hope he stays if he has learnt and realised and ACCEPTED his limiting his squad to just 12 players.
BTW.
He should stop playing people out of possitions again.
He sucks at such decisions

It might be too late for him.No time for stories with Mr Florentino.

drpialabi:
i dont think the team is overhyped. The guys are actually very good. My fear is that sometimes the best team don't win.

True.

chusks:
boss! you are more than correct ooo... I just one pity LA midget fans small

I understand bro.You wanted to give la midget a chance against the king.

chusks:
are you saying those goals were not decisive in madrid win?
it's funny how you haters heap blames on only ronaldo in Madrid loss but when they win it's team work. He scored hat tricks against sevilla away, this is a club who hasn't been beaten at home for a long time( even barca as a whole couldn't get a win), none of you haters mentioned that, he scored consecutively on two last classicos even LA midget didn't get just one, none of you haters mentioned that, just 'cos he didn't score against Valencia or didn't win juve, now any of his goals is none crucial.
Don't let fallacy cloud good reasoning.

Don't mind the haters jare.They will say nonsense like 'Ramos and Bale were responsible for Real's success last season', but will criticise CR7 for Madrid's failure this season.

ddippset:
17 free kick goals out of how many? Maybe 500. Lol. Also you left out the penalty stats. I am sure he has the highest penalty goals in the history of LA liga too. Abeg research and tell us.

Who cares? The fact is that he has all these records in just 6 seasons, unlike others who has spent their whole life in one team.

ollah1:
Since ur eyes are full of dirts and dusts Lemme help you

I WAS TALK ING ABOUT TROPHIES

I never knew Ronaldo fc is the name of a football club.

confistified:
he would soon score 500 carreer goals. ........... he is la liga's highest free kick scorer

and he is not done yet.Ronaldo might just cement his place as the greatest ever if he does similarly well and win Madrid at least a league and UCL double next season.

ollah1:
What does all these equate to

ONE LEAGUE
ONE UCL

fuckface

Since your math skills is very poor.Let me help you out.
3 hat tricks= 9 goals
27 hat tricks= 81 goals
8 hat tricks= 24 goals

Debroslink:
Maybe naa EPL player of the month dem dey count. 22 titles indeed.

He has not won an EPL player of the month before.

homesteady:

Even if they should add all his whole player of the month award, it won't reach Neymar's individual awards!
Neymar was wining awards like water when he was in Brazil!

I don't think Hazard has even won the EPL player of the month before.I know he won 3 POTM in the french league.22 individual award my foot.

Feemmy:
Funny guy! do you think goals alone win a spot in the top 3 ballon d'or? if your answer is Yes! then how has Inesta got to win the 2nd and 3rd spot even with less than 15 goals in 2010 and 2012 season. Ronaldo has more goals than him in 2010 yet Inesta claimed 2nd. even the Iniesta and Xavi that has claimed a spot in the last 3 has less than 60 goals in there club carrier
bros, Goals only don't win a spot in ballon d'or.

Good analysis, but you forgot the part where i mentioned that Neymar has 1 trophy and could win a possible 6 more.True, goals do not guarentee a spot in the final 3, but scoring phenomenal tallies like 60+ simply cannot be overlooked(2012 and 2013 comes to mind).Moreover 2010 was the last time Ronaldo scored less than 50 in a year.Iniesta made the last 3 in 2010 and 2012 because he won major football trophies for his national team(World cup and Euro).

confistified:
Ronaldo keeps breaking records

3 hat-tricks in the last 4 league games.
27 league hat-tricks(record).
17 free kick goals(The most in last 20 years in la liga).
8 league hat tricks this season.

UfuomaUN:
you should watch more Madrid games, wise one.

Yesterday's game was testament to what i said earlier.Ronaldo scored the fk on the left with his right foot, James scored the fk on the right with his left foot in the absence of Bale.I know this because i watch Real madrid games, but i doubt if you do.

chusks:
enjoy while it last but beware we coming with full force next season. And don't forget:














c.baba is a more complete baller, LA midget is only good at useless dribbles

Heading should be 10 for Ronaldo and 2 for la midget.Ronaldo has 17 headed goals this season.

Feemmy:
Hazard has won three individual award this season (PFA, FWA and POTY ) and I don't see neymar winning any. It will count so I see hazard been name the third world best.

It came a bit late, but with your creativity and dexterity you have certainly won the award for joke of the day.Neymar has almost 40 goals this season(almost Hazard's tally for 3 seasons), has won la liga, and might win a possible 5/6 more trophies.Winning PFA and FWA awards won't give you a top 3 spot at the ballon d'or.He will look odd amongst players scoring 40, 50, 60 goals a season.
