Love is the power to see similarity in the dissimilar.

dmcdad: Haterz! For your kind perusal...

Lionel Messi has figured out how to win matches by moving less than everyone else.

Imagine taking three to four players around just one player, and we expect him to perform god-like magic in every game? Ahh! Na wa oooooo.

Abeg, how many people dey mark Crynaldo? Two people don mark am before? Not to mention four and up to the whole team marking Messi

Don't mind the losers comparing his impact at the WC to Robben and Muller, while forgeting that Messi unlike the others played the AMF role. The closest contestant probably would have been Hames Rodriguez who lifted his country in the absence of the prolific Falcao. Robben played as a striker in a 2 man partnership with RVP while Muller had an interchanging role with Klose upfront as well. In which case, while Messi is the creator of goals/opportunities to score (which indeed he did), the other two are recipients of the balls and have an easier task to score.

Yesterday evening, i found myself in the company of some ignorant mofos who were still reeling on the golden ball ish. They brought up all sort of excuses to discredit Messi being worthy of the accolade. One even said, "Messi didn't sweat on the field like Robben... you no see as Robben de always ginger for ball", and i was like what the faackkk! Another claimed Thomas Muller scored 5 goals and was a handful for the Brazilians to cope with Imagine when a professional team is lined with a secondary school football team; what result would you expect? In theory, the German squad at the world cup is superior to every other team, and against a Brazilian team bereft of their two keyplayers were expected to progress- chances were put at 35-65. A team that lost Reus early on, lost Khedira at the last minute to the final game, and didnt finch! That tells the quality of the squad.

In defence of Messi:
1. Let it be clear to all, Messi did not play the role of striker, nor the false 9 he's accustomed to at club level. For the national team, he played as the only offensve midfielder (AMF)- No. 10 in a rigid formation of 4-2-3-1

2. Goals for Argentina was 8; Messi scored 4.

3. All of Messi's goals were scored in the group stage. Now, since when has it been a standard of measure to dissociate the importance of group stage activities in a tournament in another to ascertain the overall impact an individual put to the evolvement or otherwise of his team? After all, even the much praised Robben scored all three of his goals at the group stage as well; Muller scored just one more goal during the KO. Some teams peak/gel as a tournament progresses while others decline. Every game played in a tournament is as important as the next that is yet to be played. Every outcome influences the other game and results yet to come. It's a short tourney not a league cycle.

4. 3 of the goals scored by Messi were self-worked with exception of the first goal against Nigeria which was a rebound (a typical goal often scored by midfielders). The goals against Bosnia, Nigeria(the free kick) and Iran are class acts.

5. For a player in his position, an offensive midfileder, Messi made the most interception. The stats are there, and even the Big mouthed one, Moanrhino attested to that when he said, "Messi sacrificed himself for the team."

6. People compare Messi's impact at this world cup to Maradonna in 86. Now, that's laughable. Its like those secondary school debates on the topic, "our fore-fathers lived better lives than us". Comparing historic events that occurred over different timelines is erroneous. The proponents upon which the events can be verified are not empirical.

7. Mascherano and Romero may have been the most decisive players in the semi-final game, but had Messi not bailed them through the group stages, through the second round with his incisive pass that led to goal, would they have featured in the semis at all? No! This is not to discredit Masche or Romero, but to counter the poster claims that tend to rubbish Messi's overall impact on the account of both players' heroics on the night.

8. Messi created the most goal scoring chances in the entire tournament. Is it his fault that those chances weren't converted?

9. Had Argentina won the world cup, with Messi playing 'absolutely nothing of worth', and was given the award; would same people come out to castigate him?

10. Maradonna and Zidane scored in the KO stages of the 1986 and 2006 WCs respectively which were decisive for their teams to march on; is that fact a sufficient reason to discredit the goals scored by Messi at the group stages in 2014?

In all, I don't expect any one who doesn't agree with me to quote or make reference to what ive written here; i will not reply. This is the last i'll say on the issue.

MOBBDEEP: Is it true that the port has been closed?

ERCROSS: all this course wey no hard, na Dem dey get best graduating student of d school award...
cum try get dis kind award wit medicine or engineering... na den u go knw say..
Satan no be illiterate..

Nothing like a hard or easy course at the university. You go for where your ability can accommodate. We are not equally gifted in learning. The mistake most Nigerian students make is picking up courses their capacity cant come with. I recall back when we had to choose between science and art at SS1 and you find very average students going for science subjects, mostly for "swag" or bragging rights. Many of such ended up studying courses in engineering only to graduate with a third class or 2.2 . In most cases, a lack of career counselling in our secondary school curriculum could be blamed, but the individual should be held responsible for his or her choices.

Congrats to the young lady. Her determination paid off in the long run.

chinedumo: what is there to envy?

Too many downloaded movies to watch either way. The point is dat it gets the job done

I envy your download speed, mate.

They look like dykes in the pictures. I love the abs on them though.. i have a fetish for fit ladies that have abs. Something about abs on the female bod resounds se..xiness!

Creamish: If ur a student, il understand the need to be terribly dependent (rely on ur folks more tho..)...but if ur done with school, get a job and take care of urself.

Dont stoop dat low with a man who isnt ur husband. If u need stuff, get them for urself. Wateverelse u get from him is a bonus but dont make demands. Wherez ur pride gurl?

Nicely put, lady. Comment/reasoning like yours give me hope and assurance that a good percentage of women out there still believe in independence and self-satisfaction when it comes to going out with how to work out mingling between themselves and their partners. I detest dependent ladies, not because i'm stingy as some might want to paint it, but because i feel its utterly wrong for any woman other than my sweet mother or my female siblings to feel i'm responsible for them. My wife is an exception, that is when i get married. Same as my daughter(s).

Y'all dont get me wrong. i'm unopposed to ladies looking up to their partners for some sort of assistance, but making it a basis of expectation draws a foul on the whole relationship bracket. For crying out loud, its a relationship not a job employment. Relationships should be mutually beneficial in all areas. It becomes criminal when one party is always on the giving/receiving end respectively.

Ride on girl!
