andrewbaba44:
There was no time where I said Diego simeone wasn’t a success for atletico ,I listed his achievements and even praised him here ,I even went as far as calling his 2 runner up ucl medal as an achievement

Now I said he isn’t that guy anymore and it’s time to wrap it up as he is now doing rubbish

Even with pep achievements some people are saying it’s time to leave city ,but when it comes to Diego simeone that’s where I will be seeing different people doing the job of Sergio Ramos

Abeg what other job does Sergio Ramos do apart from clearing and forwarding?

Hmmm

I will sue , I will sue, the same things he said about Gazette but we all know how it ended.

Emaprince:
Meanwhile...Crystal palace are the only team who havent lost a match in PL, longside Chelsea and Liverpool this season.

This is for those that thought drawing palace meant we werent good wnough.

That is what I’m trying to explain to those homeless fans the other day, and people need to understand this:
winning the FA Cup means you have come out on top of over 700 clubs across England who participated in the competition.
And Winning the Community Shield means you are either the Premier League champion or you have beaten the champion,so in both cases, you have face with the very best team in the country. So if a team manages to draw against such a team, and someone still tries to troll you, that person shouldn’t even be taken serious.

Kilishihunter:
He escaped with another one before the end of the half, I hope Chelle warned him seriously in the dressing room cause I don't think anyone would forgive him if he gets sent off

May be he wants to do Sanni Keita of 2010

Paul Scholes on Garnacho to Chelsea:

🗣 “Chelsea are almost the best of the rest under the top two or three (teams) and they needed investment in the right areas.

I think he will be good for you… I don’t think he will be disruptive (in the Chelsea squad). I hope he is! But I don’t think he will.”

Was the bold part necessary?

Skimpledawg:
Brother FBS, isn't World Cup qualifier goals supposed to be part of our arrangement?

After all, is all part of this season

Pastor Skimpledawg, isn't the monthly tithes you collect from your members supposed to be part of our share?

After all we are all Chelsea fans.

Hmm, Nigeria should kiss next year’s World Cup goodbye, because SA isn’t backing down.

Gucciboy:
Atalanta united sends their greetings.

Liverpool couldn't compete in Europa league.

We are the first team to complete all 6 UEFA trophies, but dem go dey downgrade am call am ‘loser’s cup.’ Funny thing be say anytime demself drop inside the compitition, dem dey always lose. If e easy, make you run am nau. Simple as A B C.

Mynd44:

andrewbaba44:
Yamal came 8th at the ballon d or last season

He is likely to come 2nd or 3rd on this one

We till need to wait for 5 seasons before he can be enrolled in the leagues of world class.

Realtord43:
Where you around during Ansu fati era?

That should answer your question why you shouldn't be in a rush to Rate a player with less than 5 seasons to his name.

Ansu fati was so good then, some were saying he will surpass Messi Career, his potentials was so high then just like Yamal.

Let not rush Yamal yet because I believe there is more to come from him and he hasn't peak fully yet.

Football isn’t an exam where you must wait five years for validation before grading a player’s quality. The game is judged in the present, and players are assessed by what they deliver on the pitch week in, week out. That’s why the Ballon d’Or is awarded every year. If Barcelona had won the UCL, Yamal would have been in the top 5 for the Ballon dor. Would you then say he should wait another four seasons before being considered a candidate?

Yamal’s 2024/25 season wasn’t about potential,it was about output, 17 Man of the Match awards across competitions, decisive performances in big games, and carrying Barcelona when it mattered most. That’s not hype and it's not fluke, that’s world class performance.

And look at Palmer, his brilliance in the Conference League final saved his team from defeat, and he repeated the same in the Club World Cup final. Those are world-class performances. Yes, there’s a difference between delivering a world-class performance and being a world-class player, but you cannot consistently produce world-class displays for your team without being considered world-class player.

Saying “wait five years before calling them world-class” completely misses the point. World-class status is not about future projections,it’s about current dominance. The Ballon d’Or is not awarded for what you might do in the future, but for what you are doing right now. Players rise and fall, today’s hero may fade tomorrow. That doesn’t erase the fact that they were once world-class. Haaland won nothing last season, that doesn't erase him as a wolrd class striker, there’s no one that can be champion for life, the judgment must always be based on current performance.

If you’re playing for a giant club like Barcelona, deciding big matches, and racking up awards in crucial games, then by every standard of the footballing world, you are already a world-class player.

Realtord43:
People will just use World class on players because the have a good few seasons.


exceptional skill, unparalleled consistency over time, the ability to perform at their peak in high-pressure situations, and a profound impact on their team's success.

See the bolded, that is what define a world class players for me, you must peak for at least 5yrs in performance, stats wise, your numbers should not diminished, set a record, break a record or match your record.

Consistently is key to reach that World class status. Just two good yrs cannot give a player a World class status, people saying Isak, Wirtz and Caicedo are world class is quite bizarre, just two good season is not enough to get a world class shout.

Saying a player must play at their peak for five years before we call them world-class is too strict. In today’s football, world-class means being one of the best in your position right now, not after serving time. With stats and tough competitions to judge from, it’s easier to spot when a player is already performing at the very top level.

A world-class player should be judged by their numbers, how well they perform in big games, and how much they improve their team. Some players can show this in just one or two seasons, especially if they are playing in the best leagues or major tournaments.

Also, not every world-class player has to break records. You can be world-class without breaking a single record, does it mean a striker has to score 91 goals in a calendar year like Messi before he can be called world-class? Definitely not. Defenders, midfielders, and playmakers can be world-class because they control games, stop opponents, or create chances that change results. Consistency truly matters, but world-class is really about beinh among the best in the world at your time, and players can prove that without waiting for donkey years.

airmark:


Raumdeuter hasn't posted a word on jakujaku Jackson since he was linked to his team till now. Baba dey confused.

Maybe his phone don crash,because the kind of mentions he don receive after that Jackson transfer to bayern fit melt any devices.

Katcall:
What bayer did to erik ten hag is not good o. Truth be told

Coaching is one of the most unstable jobs in the world, you can be hired today and fired tomorrow. But the good side is, when you’re sacked, you walk away with cash benefits.

Mourinho sack benefits was calculated few day ago, I was shocked 🙅

Sportsweb:
Ramudeuter about to enjoy Nico Jackson Masterclass.

Na to burn that league if Jackson farm there

Anyway, it’s a win–win for us. If he farms the league, na banter. If he drops a stinker, na banter too.

dalass:
Na wah oh. So fishermen can't catch big fish in peace again?

Nairalanders and fake pity... I dey shock say our people are pitying fish 🐟!

Dem no dey eat fish, na vegetarian be all of them .....

Not guilty bawo ?
Everybody knows he is not guilty, but he lied, he made the call and he denied it, such a man should not be trusted at all.

timbros:
"Obligation to buy" is different from "option to buy"..

Consider Jackson a Bayern player now.

What was the clause in Sancho’s loan to Chelsea?

andrewbaba44:
Liverpool suppose win treble and Laliga join am with the way dem take spend on players

Arne Slot has already spent in one season what Klopp has spent over seven seasons. He better deliver every trophy on the table, otherwise he will be on the fraud watch list.
