Philadelphia:
This was your first post and you never said it was considered. You spoke as an "authority". Who buys a car that is no longer in production? So, let me compare my comparison in peace.




I won't do anymore research for you and since you don't know how to prove your point (you don't even have a valid point to prove sef) but only want to throw words, then I'd ignore you so you can use your Pontiac speed demon to speed to where you can buy sense.

LegendHero:
Why is DJ Switch not there.

They need to make her part of them so she can be a witness and also tell the judicial panel how she saw soldiers carrying corpse away based on what she said.

That is very important too.

Philadelphia:
You shaa want to prove a point that is still invalid.

The Pontiac you are referring to (Firebird) is not in production and not what anyone in Nigeria ever thinks to buy. The maximum speed is even pegged at 165mph.
But even at that, the fastest Pontiac ever made; the GTO and 2009 Pontiac G8-GXP had a top speed of 175mph. Even the 2009 Pontiac G8-GXP does 0-60mph in 4.7 secs.

If you call that a speed demon, what will you call the Audi RS7 that does 0-60mph in 3.7s and gets to 202mph? Or is it the
Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat that still does 0 -60 in 3.7s and gets to 203mph?
Even the BMW M5 and Mercedes AMG continental do it slower but still faster than that Pontiac. The civic type R will chew that Pontiac and spit it out.

I still maintain that the Pontiac is never a speed demon.

Philadelphia:
Pontiac is never a speed demon.

Infact, it's only body-wise that it differs from Toyota.

Parts are very similar.

Grupo:
I was surprised to hear him call Pontiac speed demon.

Pontiac vibe, for instance, is just a Toyota matrix with a different badge. Everything is the same in the two cars.

And Toyota matrix is definitely not a speed demon.

Can you help with the name of the panelists please? I only recognise three of them.

I need to post two videos of this man because his story is not just about goals and dribbles. The story won't be complete without a video of him smoking or chewing gum. That forms part of my abiding memory of him, smoking or chewing nicotene gum after a heart attack.

naptu2:
This is a total legend!

The dribbling isn't as much fun as the South Americans, but this man was an all rounder.

By the way, does anybody remember the name of the chewing gum that was sold in the early 1980s that had pictures of footballers like Zico and Cruyff in its wrapper?

There are two incarnations of this man that I remember. This is the first.

Johan Cruyff's dribbling and goals.

The second incarnation was from the late 1980s when I would see him on the bench smoking like a chimney. Sometimes he looked normal, but when he became anxious you'd see him smoking furiously.

I don't remember hearing or seeing any news reports about it, but I remember watching a match in the early 1990s and I saw him chewing gum like his life depended on it. The commentator said that it was nicotene gum and that Cruyff had to stop smoking after he had a heart attack (the heart attack occurred in 1990).

Johan Cruyff's no smoking advert.

Careca and his crew disappointed me the next year. My entire hope was on Brazil knocking Argentina out of the World Cup.

naptu2:
I HAVE FOUND IT!



I didn't want to post this until I had posted their individual video reels, but this is just so beautiful that I can't help but post it right away.


Two of the greatest players in the world, two famous opponents, Brazil and Argentina, combine to totally destroy Bayern Munich.

These are two of the greatest players ever, playing for the same club. They were part of a fantastic trio in that club.


Careca and Maradona totally confuse Bayern Munich's defence many times over and over.

This is just beautiful!

Reminds me of Romario and Stoichkov against Manchester United.

3) Zico

The "White Pele".

The free kick god.


Do not foul a Brazilian or a Udinese player anywhere near the area. That was a guaranteed goal from Zico.

This was what led my brother to criticise Jay Jay Okocha in the 1990s. He felt that Okocha did not practice his free kicks.

Zico stayed behind after training each day to take a minimum of 50 free kicks. He would often ask the 4th goalkeeper to stay behind and practice with him, or if he couldn't get the goalkeeper to stay behind, he would hang 2 shirts at either end of the goal and try to knock them down with each shot.

He got a welder to build a metal wall that he used to reprsent a wall of players, so that he could practice getting the ball over the wall and under the cross bar.

That 1982 Brazilian team was insane!

Sir Bobby Charlton once told the BBC World Service why he hated Pele (he didn't really hate him, but you'll soon understand what he meant).

He was one on one with Pele during a match and Pele said, "Goal" and then feinted one way, went in the other direction around Sir Bobby and scored.

That is, he said "Goal" before dribbling Sir Bobby.

naptu2:
2) Pele.

As great as Beckenbauer was, did you see the way that Pele dribbled him at the 2:18 minute mark?

Yes! This is entertainment!

This is as much fun as the documentary about him that I watched ahead of the 1994 World Cup.

Garrincha! The Little Bird! Many Brazilians believe that he is the greatest player to ever play football. They believe that he was better than Pele.


What I know is that he is the best dribbler ever and clips of his games are always throroughly entertaining.


I figured out (in the early 1990s) that he was the reason that Nigerian fans often shouted "Ey"! when a player was dribbled at the National Stadium in Lagos.

Once upon a time Garrincha dribbled a guy completely to the extent that the guy was still chasing after him after he had passed the ball. The guy did not even realise that he had already passed the ball!

It was at that game that Brazilian fans began chanting, "Ole"! anytime that Garrincha dribbled someone. They were immitating the chants in bullfighting rings when matadors evade the bull. It was this chant that Nigerians converted to "Ey"!

Just watch what he did to the guy at the 1:13 minute mark. What about the time that he was surrounded by opponents and yet managed to break free? This is pure entertainment!

Obviously this is totally impossible because of the many changes that have occurred in football.

Some of these people played during an era when you were allowed to kill your opponent on the field while others are playing in an era when the tackle from behind is illegal and there is VAR. The balls and boots have changed and there is now an off side law (it didn't exist when some of these people were playing).

Furthermore, there are people who would select one of Garrincha, Beckenbauer, Zico, Careca or Ronaldinho as the best player that ever played the game.

However, my choice is still Pele.
