At age 21 and before ever playing a single minute of world cup football, R9 had won 2 WPOTY, 1 Ballon d'Or and had broken the world transfer record 2 times.

His entire reputation was not built on the world cup. On the eve of the 1998 World Cup many fans and analysts already felt he was the best player the world had ever seen apart from Pele and Maradona.

E shock me.

R9 Nazarrio wey be hero for the hero of current football heroes.

A whole R9? Person wey invent snake bite

Godx:
Baba he didn't win a league title until he was 26. He only won two league titles and around five major club trophies throughout his entire career. Without his World Cup title and the performances that came with it his standing in football history would below that of Ronaldinho, Zidane and others. The foundation of his GOAT level reputation is overwhelmingly built on what he achieved and how he performed on the World Cup stage. How exactly is this controversial or even debatable.

Now you are acting childish.

Godx:
So we are seriously going to pretend like De Lima reputation and goated status is not built on his world cup performances.

Your original claim was that R9’s reputation hinged solely on his World Cup heroics, which is not only wrong but also criminal. It exposed your limited knowledge about him and football in general.

How is someone who won the Ballon d’Or (still holds the record as the youngest winner in history) not reputable in club football and in the world?

This is like Lamine Yamal winning the last ballon d’Or and following it up with the World Cup trophy in 2030. If someone 20 years later say his reputation is based majorly on the World Cup he won later and completely ignores his previous ballon dor performances in club football, won’t people gather and stone Godx to death?

This is a waste of time.

afrodoc2:
You are arguing with someone that said R9's entire reputation is hinged on World Cup performances.

The same R9 that had 2 FIFA WPOTY and 1 Ballon d'Or before he ever played a single minute of World Cup football.

I just dey laugh as I dey see those comments. 😀

popizaino:
SE record still intact.

Not for long tho.

Morocco will break it today.

No. He was a beast before Barca bought him for a world record fee and complacently allowed him to leave for Inter in serie A for another world record transfer fee. How old was he then? 20,21.

Person wey get speed, finishing, close control, vision, space manipulation, etc. All those dribbles Messi was doing that got people going gaga, R9 was doing it teytey. In. Club. Football.

You have to be there to appreciate how great he was.

popizaino:
These Ghanaians are really funny.

Jubilating on top 0-0 scoreline.

If you manage beat England nko?

Na to bring down the sky.

Your super eagles couldn’t make it to the World Cup but look at you complaining about Ghana getting a result against England, one of the best teams in the competition

Ibukzy:
Spain is also a favorite to win the World Cup
and you based ur prediction on as at now not what will happen in the future
which if we are being honest, Mbappe has not yet surpassed Yamal yet

Which Kain talk be this?

Dem don swear for this Jackson

Jackson go score for this World Cup so?

Haaland use goals injure Mendy

Koulibaly is just too slow. See how he was lumbering about like a tired tortoise for that third goal.

Homelander junior no wan gree for Messi

AirBere:
I read that he's pulling out completely. But If he isn't then I dont see any issues. Belgium sef no sabi...

If he’s pulling out, it’s because of all the hate and noise

andrewbaba44:
You sure say ogunmepon 41 go spare wc game for child birth 😁

LooL.

But he did miss a whole preseason at United cos he lost a baby.

All the hate and perambulations are unwarranted.

It’s his first child. Allow him have a personal moment with his family. If it was Messi or Ronaldo, una go quiet.

Make Una leave Doku alone. What he should’ve done is take a couple of days off for the birth of his child and be back with the group in 24 hours. He can come back and push them to the semis. It’s not like that Dutch squad is filled with exceptional talent.

Bombblacks:
Micah Richards is working for all the sports broadcasters and even Netflix. I respect the grind same with Beckham. You could watch up to 5 different ads back to back during the hydration breaks and Becks will be on all.

Micah is the OG hustler. That guy works 24/7. You’ll notice he’s always traveling if you watch The Rest is Football. The grind is the grind.

Egypt 3-1

Salah, Trezeguet

Game. Over.

SEE CAPE VERDE GOAL!!!

raumdeuter:
Make Belgium take their anger out on New Zealand

If Egypt beat New Zealand Dem suppose qualify even if they lose their last game. As best 3rd or something.

raumdeuter:
Red card

Baba nla DOGSO.

Na complacency kill the guy

These players may be from Iran but their defending is Italian.

See defending na. Put body on the line. Block anything blockable.

They deserve a draw at least.

Iran don try

Roland17:
Sack ke? Dem no born Arteta well to sack am.

I say make I check whether e collect side gig as season dey out.

Iran set pieces dey move like team wen get am set piece coach.

They might actually win this game.

Capaldi:
The quality in this world cup is very low.

Blame your African brothers

Emaprince:
Iran want to score in American soil? Not happening!!

Imagine if the two sides clash in the knockout stages

Roland17:
Make I check their coaching staff whether N. Jover dey there..

Una don sack am ni?

This cooling break tey o 30 mins

Ref can’t wait for “any ball out “ to blow whistle

Iran’s set pieces have been quality 👌🏽

Beautiful goal!

Iran came with a plan o. Corners. They’ve had two good chances now. A good save from Courtois stopped one and the other one, a free header, was wide.

Belgium starting with full strength. Dem dey pressure Iran for were no good. Pressure fit burst pipe soon.
