AjanleKoko: Well, for me the game is very different nowadays. Football till the 90s was less physical, more of flair and technique. The game itself has morphed, rules have changed somewhat, and players have to combine both physical and technical attributes.
I remember the old days when a Baggio would play with a hamstring for four matches, and still be able to put away five goals past Nigeria, Spain, and Bulgaria. Nowadays the sheer running would aggravate his injury by the time he plays one game, and he would be done. That's probably why injuries are a lot more serious nowadays, despite advances in medicine and the almost magical recoveries.
You also have to consider coaching methods, which have moved largely in the direction of orchestrated plays, as opposed to the free-flowing approach of the 70s and 80s. A typical coach today sets out the field in pretty much the same way it's done in American football. All the plays are rehearsed, including player positioning and movement, as opposed to the past, where a lot depended on the player's skill and reading of the game, as much as the coach's interpretation of how he expects his team to play.
As much as you may not like Ronaldo, you have to recognize his physical abilities. They surpass most of the players of this generation. He's always able to stamp his physical authority on games, right from the time he was at United. If he wasn't that good, he wouldn't have won all that he did. After all, other people are playing this game. Likewise Messi and his genius, vision, and abilities. He almost plays football for fun. For me, their competition is really what have made the last few years enjoyable for me. That's why no one else has even come close to the Ballon D'Or, these fellows make the voting an almost non sequitur, despite neither of them winning anything noteworthy for their national sides. Yes the game has changed, and made it easy for people like Ronaldo to kick this felele and bamboozle goalkeepers. Do you think Ronaldo could try that technique with the balls used in the 90s (speaking of real footballs like the Adidas Tango, etc) without developing a hamstring tear? I know Ronaldo was engineered. He's not a natural like Messi. If not, he wouldn't have played his first 26 Champions League matches without netting a single goal. And that thing you said about Baggio. That showed how much dedicated the players of those days were; and how less they are actors like the present ones. I mean, these days players get hit by a ball and roll around for 5 mins. I have been hit by the balls of those days and just sucked it in and played on without as much as a wince. |

wirinet: TAN, let this certificate nonsense go. It is settled. If you are not satisfied, there are many options available instead of making empty noise and nagging like a ego wounded wife. Write cambridge for clarifications, you would get answers in a matter of hours or in the alternative go to court.
You guys are too young to even begin to discuss with. Up till the 90's secondary school students get admitted to higher institutions and NDA with awaiting results. Because results were usually released late by WAEC (sometimes in november) and higher institutions resume academic session september or october. Student were given temporary admission based on awaiting results and testimonials (letter of recommendation) from the secondary school. It was after WAEC releases the results that it is submitted to the higher institutions to make the admission permanent. Those who fail had their temporary admission terminated.
What the Oyinbo principal of Buhari School wrote was a testimonial to assert the intellectual and moral integrity of its students seeking to gain admission into higher institutions. I am sure that it was not only Buhari that got the letter, but all students seeking to gain admission into higher institutions.
I hope you guys are better educated now. After giving so much education, you failed to apply logic. Check the Principal's recommendation letter; he expected Buhari to pass English, Maths and 3 other subjects. Shouldn't that tell you that was the minimum requirement to be considered to have passed WASC and issued a certificate, and to join the army? Now, did Buhari make that requirement (having scored an F in Maths)? So why was his temporary admission not terminated? |

mrrock: Buhari entered the Nigeria military with a written note from his school principal. This should tell any unbiased person that he dropped out of secondary school. The north believed they're born to rule so academic qualifications were not necessary for a northerner to rise to the top of any government office. This certificate is a forgery. You are on to something there. But what I think is, the results may be genuine. But the important thing is, he failed Maths (F9). Without passing Maths, he probably couldn't be issued a certificate (which was needed to join the army); and of course he was expected to retake the exam which he never did. So the note from the principal was to allow him join the army with the promise of retaking the exam. |

I will keep it simple and short; C Ronaldo should not be mentioned in the same sentence as Messi; never mind the fact I just did. It's a paradox.  Oh, and I won't bother with explanations; it's of course my opinion. You have a right to yours. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Fc Barcelona Fan Thread: "més Que Un Club" by logica(m): 11:05am On Jan 14, 2015 |
AjanleKoko: I actually think Messi and CR7 are better than other players that have come before them. Save maybe Pele and Cryuff in their respective eras. Football is a lot more demanding now, physically, mentally, and tactically. Nonetheless, it has never happened before that two individual players would so totally dominant in the sport. No one else even comes to mind when the Ballon D'Or voting takes place.
Forget that they haven't won the World Cup, these guys are dominating the sport! It doesn't even look like either of them plan to slow down any time soon. You are wrong. Try and remember the 90s era. Fact is, there were so many mega stars during that period and that was why it kept changing hands. C Ronaldo cannot even be compared to Ronaldo de Lima's left leg. He can't compare to George Weah's left thigh. Then came along Rivaldo and much later Ronaldinho. Even before the 90s, we had Marco van Basten. Check out Marco's scoring ratio (devoid of silly penalties). As far as I am concerned, Messi remains a standout; far above C Ronaldo. But he got himself caught up in a useless arms race with C Ronaldo (engineered by Real Madrid). It was Real Madrid's idea to TRY and prop up a "competitor" to Messi. I remember an interview Guardiola did back in 2010. He said "I feel sorry for those trying to claim Messi's throne". |

Only 28.6 million adults were banked, representing 32.5% of the adult population. http://www.efina.org.ng/about-us/financial-inclusion/Furthermore, if you are into data mining/databases you should know how difficult it would be to put together records from various institutions without a common unique key.

Johnpaul88: But they made 8 changes from the team that beat Madrid in the mid week. Example Moya, Juafran, Gamez, Tiago, Gabi, Koke, Arda and Mandukic all didn't start against Real Madrid. So they prepared for the game the best they could but our sheer intensity especially in the first half left them half stunned.
So you see they reserved their best squad just to beat us or at least get a point as they very did last season. And they would have succeeded if it weren't for our coach and the players that were keen and did well to follow instructions.  Whether or not you play a full match, playing a top club like Real Madrid and winning is very energy sapping. What more; Atletico won with just 25% of possession so they spent the whole night on their toes defending. That was enough to sap the entire team. You cannot deny Atletico did not bring their A game. As a matter of fact, the scoreline did not tell the story. The match should have been officially over in the first half with Barca leading by at least 4-0 if Barca was not so profligate. I think they could have done more if they were well rested. Though I must say it seemed Messi (and the entire Barca team) were probably more motivated to revenge for the last day of last season. |

coded01: What's up with that penalty?  That was the ref getting back at Messi for "duping" him in the run-up play to the second goal. Messi used his arm for which he would likely had gotten a yellow card. Guess what, by awarding the penalty and later giving Messi a yellow card for a non-offense (the clash Messi had with the goalkeeper was a coming together and nothing else), he "managed" to even things out. |
