Please be civil when having a debate.
You must probably think everyone on this forum is a child.
Pele played three matches at the National stadium in Surulere in 1978 for Fluminense of Brazil against 1. Super Eagles 2. Ravcah Rovers and 3 . Shooting Stars over a period of one week and some of us watched him play.
I repeat my earlier statement that Messi and Ronaldo can never be called GOATs except they win the world cup. They can win as many Champions leagues (which technically are not played by the champions of each country) as they like but they can never truly be the greatest footballers ever except they win the world cup.

Pls stop the winning the world cup brouhaha, World cup winning is a collective effort not solely individual..
Must Pele be the only one credited for their triumphs, others were useless abi?
You can only win it when you're in a team that wins it.
Media only brings up issues like these to keep the suspense going and that's why they are smarter than you.
All these singlehandedly winning the cup issh' is fallacy, It's a team's sport not tennis nor golf.
Let their statistics judge them all but not one single-handedness palava.

ROSYL:
Which match did you watch? Because the one we all watched saw Ronaldo dribbling and dribbling.

He can't get pass one player convincingly these days... Always running into box 18 for goals, its cool he knows what's he good at, though.

ROSYL:
He doesn’t cry, even when he loses. He’s not a sore loser like the other short man.

CR7 remains the best!

Only best at waiting for goals to get headlines while the short man doubles as a midfielder when necessary.

LesbianBoy:
Can Messi do what king CR7 just did

You ridicule someone who doubles as a midfielder and attacker to someone who only wait for goals to get headlines.

AirstarKane:
Uruguay just form block industry lol dem mark Ronaldo die. anyway I want to see Ronaldo go gome too.

He should aid the midfielders if they aren't playing well, that's what Messi does.

XingXhang:
Stand by your team. Stop shifting grounds

Cr7 wee deliver. I know he will.

He should aid the midfielders...Its not all about waiting to score goals.

ShakurM:
Pls if you just started watching football yesterday, DON'T PATRONIZE ME because Euro 2016 is not even a line of argument. He won that         

That's why it's team achievement not individual.

hoopLA:
Mumu Messimaniac.

Olympic is an age-grade competition. Under 23 with exception of three players above 23.

If you had any sense you would know that it is no yardstick to measure greatness.

Jairzinho scored insix consecutive games in 1970but nobody calls his name among the greatest.
Golden ball? You must be having a laugh.
Fat Ronaldo of Brazil has that and World Cup medals. Zidane has golden ball and World Cup medal
Yet you don't call them GOATs
When will Messi win Copa America(despite losing three finals), let alone World Cup ?

You just dey misyarn
Diego Forlan has a golden ball from 2010 World Cup. That is who I will liken your dwarf to, since you are listing criteria here for greatness without including winning it all just to justify that Argentine fraud who isn't even better than Maradona.

On the basis of personal records, Messi records are a mile better than Maradona's but that's not a big deal..
You don't expect the man to die ,Do you?
Trophies are team's achievements and Argentina has been unfortunate in recent years; atleast they can be proud of themselves.
Messi is Argentina's all time leading scorer and he has won FIFA Golden Ball, that's a personal recognition not team.
Messi alone CAN NOT win the world cup just like the way Maradona, Pele didn't win on their on thier own because they were won collectively.
All these winning world cup issh is a conspiracy by media to redicule Ronaldo and Messi's achievements.
Are they expected to make up for their defensive flops.
Their goals and records are phenomenon and that should be enough.

Mczigx:
That's not true, forms would be on sale either July or August, then the exam wld probably be by september

Are you an admission officer that you sounded so sure? The end of policy meeting immediately marks the beginning sales of forms....On this basis, Registration starts next month while the exam holds at the latter part of next month or early August...It might be earlier than you think, I'm a Uniben student.

toffy333:
What i this man saying?

So God decide to be good to your family and burn others in flame?

What type of God does that?


Don't worry because it is not you today doesn’t mean it can't be You tomorrow. Stay there and be running your mouth instead of praying for the dead.

Its even more shocking seeing the number of likes he got from that useless post, invariably, He is not alone.

Jabarzee:
out of every 20 Uniben male student, Atleast 17 are cultist, the remaining 3 may just be yahoo boiz

You must be stupid..I'm neither a cultist nor a yahoo boy.

stemmez:
Which 25pcnt.. When many people are having over 300

Do you know there's a way you can edit your result and people will believe. 50% of results online are fake.

NeeKlaus:
Olympics is not a trophy. Even Nigeria has won it. I know of his U-20 medal but that trophy isn't given considerable recognition like its U-17 counterpart. Messi has no senior International trophy.

I believe you get me now.

But atleast he has senior international awards...

NeeKlaus:
Lol... but he has lifted an International trophy na. Messi has not done it. What is your own stress?

Ronaldo even has more personal and team trophies than Messi, so calm down Oga.

Messi has 32, Ronaldo has 23....Messi won MVP in 2014 show piece, MVP in 2015 copa America, rejected that of 2016...Won U-20 world cup as MVP and Olympics in 2008.
Mind you Ronaldo and portugal were equally eligible to those trophies but If these are Local accolades/trophies to you, then something is wrong.

blackgold90:
Lionel Messi is better than the always Real Madrid peppered CR7.There is visually no trophy that CR7 has that Messi doesn't have, yet CR7 with all his playing have never tasted how FIFA final look like

Messi first goal at 2018 FIFA World Cup sent fever across Africa and Nigeria,which resulted in Nigeria exit. While 3/4 CR7 goals were replied by Spain leading to a draw.

Although the ref tried to award a cheap penalty against Messi boys yet the super eagles have no ambition.

Now every pained Nigerians is wishing them bad lock in France game, where was France when Argentina was in final of FIFA 2014.


Nigeria super eagles and other group D team have made Argentina noticed their flaws early enough before hitting French side.

If you still think France will defeat them raise your hand up, then use that hand to beat your chest and say "I don't believe in nonsense "


Messi is a GOAT
GOAT=Greatest Of All Time

MESSI WON FIFA GOLDEN BALL in 2014 which is a top individual award.

Uchihaitaci:
Happy birthday to a former great player

Ronaldo has surpassed you in every way imaginable but yet I still wish you all the best in your coming retirement from football

Stop spewing hogwash because this man or Ronaldo doesn't know you're existing.
The rivalry between the duo has seen them improve their game alot, but it hasn't helped you in any way; It doesn't put money in your pocket.
Football is to be enjoyed and not for unnecessary comparison.
There are always bad and good days in every man's life and your opinion wouldn't erase the fame he has accrued in life.
Many great players have graced the game and everyone is entitled to his/her opinion about whosoever is the greatest, you don't have to remind him.

My man of the match in defence.

hollah123:
y so much hype about this game as if we won world cup,what if we loose to Argentina n fail to qualify

It's very important we celebrate the moment because we don't know when such event will happen again..
Living and staying excited as if it's the last of of one's life is worthwhile.

Pharaoh001:
Don't be bias,boy Argentina A-Z were full of Stars
You could have say, they lack structure...

You're a coward if you can't mention them.

Pharaoh001:
Go and watch the replays, mofo...
Ronaldo coach the team!

If you can't give an outright answer it means you didn't watch the match either; your point is based on hearsays....Only messi and Aguero are the outright world class that started the game,Hope this helps?

seunny4lif:
Becos Messi was surrounded by world class players while Ronaldo by average players.

Aside Aguero , Name any other world class that started the game, Meza, Tagliafico or Perez or Salvio...That's the theory Ronaldo fans always use to justify themselves...Like the same Portugal didn't beat France without him.

ernieboy:
na true o, the guy never even enter score board, and they dare to compare him to cr7.

If you're an honest person, you would understand messi plays deeper in Argentina because the team lacks clear cut creative midfielder which burden him with the responsibility of creating and scoring.... The team is to be blamed generally not Messi.
I bet Ronaldo wouldn't survive Messi's role in Argentina.

seunny4lif:
You be olodo ni?
You are comparing a whole Argentina squad with Portugal?
Are you high?
Ronaldo contributed till Portugal got to final.
All Portugal goals involved Ronaldo.

Same way he contributed goals and they made it out of group stage in 2014? What I'm saying is that these guys have different fates..Ronaldo was unfortunate in 2014 world cup, nobody made a fuss out of it. I don't think messi even gives damn about these comparisons.

LesbianBoy:
So I can see some mischievous people saying Messi is not playing in a good team. Can you imagine? Argentina that has....

Aguero that was being benched for jesus yet still scored over 20 goals last season in the league alone

Higuian that was the highest goal scorer for juventus last season

Otamendi played every minute last season for man city under a big coach like guardiola

Dybala is one of the biggest stars in juventus team

Di maria one of the biggest star in PSG

I can go on and on! Abeg apart from king CR7 how many of the Portuguese players do we know sef? Apart enough of the excuses for Messi jare! King CR7 is far better than him!

Same way people were castigating Ronaldo in 2014..These are two different players with different destinies..I don't think messi gives any damn about what people think, maybe Ronaldo does... The funny thing is that tables might even turn by the end of next week..

seunny4lif:
If Ronaldo have the same squad of Messi.
C.Ronaldo go don win world cup

You just wrote rubbish, what's so special about the Argentina team?
Ronaldo didn't play in Euro final, yet he won , stop all these useless assumptions... Pepe, moutinho, Quaresma are dummies right?

utenwuson post=686877;89:
messi no even win spoon for hin country.......

Keep quiet and don't pretend you don't he won Olympics and U-20 or are they are now irrelevant? As far as we're concerned, they are international competitions.
Even if he wins the world cup, people will still say he must win it again and again, that's the insatiability of man.

utenwuson:
messi no even win spoon for hin country.......

Keep quiet and don't pretend you don't he won Olympics and U-20 or are they are now irrelevant.
Even if he wins the world cup, people will still he must win it again and again, the circle continues.

sam79:
Nothing wrong with d deployed tactics n no player was played outside their favorite position.....
The Games was lost cos Nigeria full back were not functional thus making Moses and Iwobi to drop deep especially in the first half...
Robbing d team of width n marauding runs modern full back do. Withhout support from full backs Nigeria wingers were easier to stop n it narrows the options available for the mild fielders/center forwards....

The full backs despite offering no support to d midfield n attacks defended poorly on one on one situation...

If I were the coach - I would have replaced d full backs earlier in the second half.

Thumbs up...There was no support at all was from the full backs..Modern football entails the full backs to corroborate the attackers while attacking and retreat aptly while defending ; Its so unfortunate we lack the right personnel for that.
I thought he'd even bring Ebuehi and play 3: 4:3 in the second half. Our performances with 3-4-3 in previous games had been relatively better. A good coach plays to his team's strength.

babony1:
Now some people will open their foolish mouths shouting Ronaldo don't anything in football except to convert awarded penalties, I think you can see now that to even score penalties in any match it a something of greatest works in any point in time.

Let's stop using penalties to compare these great guys..Any footballer can miss it at any point in time..

obonujoker:
How will Messi sef lose such penalty at that stage??

Oga, Anybody can lose penalty in any occasion, that's the beauty of the game.

Ademola47:
Good day everyone. For days now, I have been bothered over a career issue. Initially, I applied to University of Ibadan but after seeing my jamb score (233) i felt I couldn't make ui merit list, I then decided to change to a less competitive course in the college of Medicine. I changed to Medical Laboratory science. All this while, my father was away (on a business trip since last year). When he came back and I told him what I changed to he started scolding saying am not serious again (because I had 296 in jamb last year) and that instead of me doing that Medical Laboratory science he would rather I waited till next year and obtain another jamb form. But the problem is that am tired of staying at home and I have been trying to convince him that once I get admitted, I would work hard so as to change to Medicine and Surgery department. But I don't know how possible this is because I have not attended any tertiary institution before and there are different speculations that UI is very tough.
Nairalanders! please help what should I do.
Also, I don't know if there is anyone who can summarise the post utme topics for a better jacking process.
Thanks in anticipation.
God bless

From your story, your Dad prefers you study medicine and you also wanted it albeit you don't want to stay at home any longer.
Well, the idea of changing back to medicine later after being admitted to med lab seems difficult and not readily feasible, It hardly works except in rare cases of strong connection.
There's no doubt he's afraid you might not be to change later owing to the fact that your orientations might change later or It might not be easy as you presume it hence his ?insistence.
At this Juncture, try to seek the assistance of those persons he respects , I believe it might work.
From my one end, I'd suggest while you accept med lab , you should also take jamb form for medicine If that's what you really want..
Medical Laboratory science is a very good course with abundant prospects though.
