Misterdhee1: Indisputably, the Ronaldo vs Messi debate turns head like no other in the soccer world. So contentious is the debate that it has resulted in lives being lost, marriage being broken, and friendships being turned to enmities - literally. This debate doesn't seem ready to be going away anytime in the foreseeable future. Undoubtedly, being a soccer fan authorizes one with the privilege to choose who one's favorite player is irrespective of what others feel. Therefore, it is understandable to expect such rivalry between the fans of these two who have been consistently astonishing in the last decade. To Messi's fans, his tendency to marvel the world at will, mesmerize opponents with his extraterrestrial skills, score mind blowing goals at consistent rate, set up goals for his teammates and his humility on and off the field makes him better than anyone playing soccer. Ronaldo's fans' sentiments arise from the fact that he is a proven hard worker on and off the field, a consistent goal scorer, a proven class across two top leagues, a speed demon, his beautifully configured physique and an audacious lifestyle off the field. Both are right. Messi is better than Ronaldo in his own ways, and Ronaldo is equally better than Messi is his own ways. Where the base arises is judging both players using their characters as human beings, and personal lives off field as yardsticks. That is sheer hypocrisy! No single individual in the world can lay claim to perfection. Cristiano and Lionel are no different. They are human beings with their several imperfections. They may have contrasting characters off field but that doesn't in anyway invalidate the fact that they are geniuses on the soccer pitch. Acclaiming Ronaldo has been better than Messi because of Messi's tax evasion conviction, his sheepish nature, his love for tattoo, and his low celebrity life, is high-level hypocrisy. Approving Messi as the better player of the duo, because Cristiano is seemingly proud, over confident and flamboyant, and his sex life is equally hypocritical. Our standards as human beings do not make us lesser or better than another being. We are who we are, thanks to factors that are beyond our own makings. Where the real difference comes in, is how much success each record in their respective professional lives on the field. Both of them should be compared on the basis of their personal statistics on the field (such as goals, assists, chances created, dribbles completed, etc.), how many trophies they won in their respective careers, how many awards each wins on individual level, and how many moments we marvel in their brilliance. This is what they share together, not their humanness. Let's stop the hypocrisy, and enjoy the grace of being able to watch them perform at such astonishing levels week in, week out.

Sports › Re: Cristiano Ronaldo Pictured With President Of Portugal After Portugal's Success by Misterdhee1(m): 10:52am On Jul 16, 2016 |
JSMMUYIWA: Bro, Why the arm-chair theorizing? Messi played more matches in both two seasons past. Yet Cr7 has larger goal stats... If not goals and agility makes one a complete footballer,Biko; Did you watch Euro? Who had the best first touch of the ball in the tournament? Isn't it Cr7? I will rather you look at this particular angle; A player that played in two different leagues,in modern football and won Ballond'or in both,and a player that stayed in a club all his career,which should be more complete? Who thrives better in any atmosphere,with changing club and coaches as well known in Madrid? Without tiki-taka,Cr7 has such stats.. Imagine Cr7 in a Tiki-taka team,u sabi say Na goal galore be that?
What I want is let Messi leave Barca for any club,I repeat any club,if he can replicate his performance, then,we can say,he is close to Cr7 on complete footballer thingy ...(Adaptation is a necessity in Professionalism). But imagine with a team of Higuan,Aguero of City,Dimaria,Pastors,Lavezzi,et all unable to replicate Barca form won cups; How will he manage in a team like Man U with the likes of Valencia,MartialFellainiat,Mata...e,tc...
At least you will agree with me that Argentina team has better players than United?
But there you have Cr7 justify himself win in with mediocre Portugal team.
If you put Cr7 in Argentina team; No tell me,you sabi say you already win W/Cup; You can ask Guardiola,he will tell you how far... OK. |

jubrealguy: they didn't tell u CR7 is d only player to score over 50 goals in 6 consecutive seasons and messi managed it just 3ce in his entire career......messi more complete, how many headers.....lol, RONALDO is KING For the remaining 2 seasons, he was injured for 2-3 months.. Hope u know? Do you understand what makes a 'complete footballer' sha? We aren't talking about a 'complete striker' here óò.. Can Ronaldo pass the ball as accurately and beautiful as Messi? Can he dribble as much as Messi can? You people talk about Ronaldo being a more complete footballer because he can use his both his heads, and legs in front of goals.. Even with being not so good with his head, has Messi being less effective as he is infront if goals. YOUR RONALDO WITH ALL THE LEGS AND HEAD CAPACITY, hasn't even score pass 80 goals in a year.. So what is the fuss? He can only exist as Messi's competitor, not the best ever Footballers ' top 3! |

JSMMUYIWA: Settle Wetin? Matter don settle already...nauh; Shebi you just confess and confirm Cr7 as "almighty "
BTW; Check d stats 4 consistency.... That 91 stuff,is applaudable but Yoruba call it sarewa....(Coincidental Abi Na accidental English dey call am) Consistency I mean make person score 50 goals 4 5 to 6 consecutive season... You Superstar wan break 4 back if he try am?
Hope we settled well? You call 91 goals through a year, sarewa, okay! I understand you naw.. So apart from the seasons that Messi had injury problems, is there any he has failed to score up to 50 goals within those years, and rank in more assists? Within those years, how many trophies did Ronaldo helped his team win compared to Messi? How many of his matches can you recur that you were entertained fully by him, apart from his goals.. See, cr can score goals.. Accepted! So can Messi. The difference is that Messi is a more complete footballer than Ronaldo, because his overall gameplay supercedes that of Cristiano ... Good Night |

You don't know how important goal is in a match.... Just one goal; Ask France and Argentina,Italy how it is,if they could just score a goal,that cause their elimination.
BTW; How boring could a match be without goals...
Abegi give kudos to whom it belongs.... Ask Hazard how easy to score goals....
If Chelsea could score at least one goal in a match in their last season,their season can't be that bad ....
Here you have a goal machine in Cr7...
If not goal,whatz then the highlight of a game? People sha,Wetin make Okocha no win Africa Best 4 once? Lool.. Ok.. So has your Almighty Cr7 been able to score up to 90 goals in a calendar year? YES OR NO.. Nd let's settle once and for all |

BY ADEDIRAN ADEDAYO ABDULLAHI Cristiano Ronaldo is back in the limelight, this time for every goo reasons. With 3 Balon d'ors, three champions league winners' medals, three English Premier League titles, one Laliga winners' medal and of recent, an Euros gold medal off his Portuguese National side's triumph at the Continental tournament in France, alongside a daunting long list of individual awards, Cristiano Ronaldo is no doubt one of the greatest players to have graced the soccer pitch ever. At 31, he has virtually won every trophy he has competed for, in his club career, and an important bragging right, with his latest winner's medal with his country, which has ironically eluded his career nemesis, and 5 -time Balon d'or winner, Lionel Messi. From his daring ego, to his "crazy never lose mentality", Cristiano is surely a model to be studied by every dick and Harry that craves for success in their life pursuits. Here are the top takeaways: - HARDWORKINGNESS : Numerous accounts have been giving by his teammates and coaches, both of present and in the past of how much an hardworker Ronaldo is. From his frequent early arrivals at the training sessions, to being the last to go home after training, to unimaginable fitness routines, it is a no-brainer, the extent to which diligence has driven Cristiano to the very top of the sporting ladder. - SELF-BELIEF AND WORTH : Taunt him as much as you can on his tense Rivalry with Lionel Messi, it will never in a way achieve the desired 'taunting' objectives, because it will only propel the Portuguese to smashing past records and setting new records of his own Making. He so much believe in his abilities on the pitch, that the best of his epic replies to criticisms have been performance-related on the soccer field. You criticize Cristiano, he breaks new goal scoring record to respond accordingly. - WINNING MENTALITY : Try list the sorest of losers in the world of sports, and Cristiano Ronaldo's name will be spelt out in gold. His "always win" mindset has made him much haters, as much as it has placed him in the league of his own as a soccer great. He has cried puerilely for losing matches, lashed out at teammates for his teams' defeats, and go bizarre lengths to get fit for important fixtures he looked set to miss. You can't beat his winning mentality! - REALNESS : It is a glaring fact that Ronaldo for all his greatness is proud and individualistic, but what has helped him through these controversial lifestyles, is his submission to be real to himself and the world. He rubs his characters at your face and let you know without fear of rebuke that he is only human. He is human being, that comes first before his career profile. He uses it to his own advantage, without giving a damn about who loves or hates him for being real to himself. - COMPETITIVENESS AND CONSISTENCY : Having won his first Balon d'or award at Manchester United, as a young age of 23 in 2008, the prospect of having the Balon d'or all to himself for many years, was cut short by the ingenuity of Barcelona's Lionel Messi, who snatched the 2009 trophy from him, and condemned him to 2nd place for two more years, and a no appearance at the best three in 2010. For a player has incredible as Cristiano, this is a failure. Losing out at such reproachful frequency, was enough to reduce him to mediocrity, but he chose to be consistent in his performances in other to be in competitive reach of his archrival. He came back to the Balon d'or podium as a winner in 2013, four years after his first win. With his successes with both Country and Club so far this year in major competitions, he looks set to scoop what will be his fourth Balon d'or award (With Leo Messi on five) , in a career that has seen him compete relentlessly and admirably with 'arguably' the greatest soccer player in history Lionel Messi, for the best player gong.

Sports › Explaining Messi's Jail Sentence by Misterdhee1(op): 4:15pm On Jul 07, 2016 |
**Author - Adediran Adedayo On Wednesday, 6th of July, Lionel Messi and his father were sentenced to 21 months in Jail after they were found guilty of tax fraud by a Spanish Court. The case which spanned through a 3 year period, was put to rest after a four-day trial, which was wrapped up on June. It was alleged that the player and his father who manages his image rights, were guilty of using companies in Belize, Britain, Switzerland and Uruguay to avoid tax payments to Spanish Authorities. The alleged tax payments amounted to a total of 4.16 million euros over a period of three years, (2007-09). This was from the Barcelona's maestro total image rights earnings from endorsement deals with top companies like Pepsi, Danone, Adidas etc. In August 2013, during initial investigations, Lionel Messi and Jorge Messi (the star player's father) voluntarily paid 5 million Euros to cover up for the alleged unpaid taxes plus interest. Claims from the Argentine's Camp is that the Messi is ignorant of the alleged fraud, as his image rights dealings are solely managed and directed by Jorge Messi. With all the pleas of the player's defense team for the player's absolution from the trial, the court proceeded to sentence both the player and his dad, on the basis that the player couldn't claim full ignorance of the management of his earnings over the three years. According to the court's official release: "There is no deliberate ignorance here, it is fraud and that is it,because he didn't want to pay his taxes. It is like a crime boss. At the very top is the bigwig who doesn't want to know about the details. If Lionel is not punished accordingly, ordinary citizens could conclude that it was better not to show interest in their tax obligations". Alongside the jail term, Lionel Messi is to pay 2.09 million euros and Jorge Messi to pay 1.6 million euros as fine. On the backdrop of this, the 5 time Balon D'or recipient's lawyers have vowed to ensure that the judgement is overturned by appealing the judgment at the Supreme Court, with a view to persuading the Court that both men behaved accordingly. They were quoted thus: "The most recent laws from the Supreme Court on the matter that concerns us would seem to prove the argument of the defense". The player and his father aren't expected to serve the jail terms, as the Spanish laws suspend prison sentences for first offences for non-violent crimes carrying a sentence of less than two years. The appeal can take up to a year. http://www.nkenu.com/2016/07/explaining-messi-jail-sentence.html |
