Speed Kills

Yes, it does!
100km/hr is not a bad speed on the highway

9jaRealist:
Then YOU are part of the problem...
Highway Code is a general guide, the REAL speed limit is what is actually signposted on each road or bridge.

Hahahahaha. The reaction time is why you should not do so much in case anything happens. The speed at which you move also depends on a whole lot of facttors like the type of car you drive , how streamlined is your vehicle , driver's experience and expertise and so many more but it is better to be safe than sorry. Speed thrills but it also kills.

lexy2014:
D screenshot u posted said d highest speed limit is 100 and yet u do 110, 120

That is why I said I know I sometimes do 110, 120(which I am guilty). 100 is the highest and not 70 as informed by the OP. Even before doing 110 , 120, I knew it was above the limits.

twhy111:
Except you're driving very late in the night, you can't maintain 100km/h on that bridge for long. That bridge is always busy. Nigerians drive recklessly when they see good roads.

Saturdays and Sundays are usually free. You can even do a 120km/hr and maintain it. If you drive around 4am too, it is usually free by then.

100km/h is not too much on the 3rd mainland bridge. It is a misinformation to say that the speed limit is 70km/h. I know I sometimes do 110, 120 but 100 is not too much.

Hi

Wetin person no go see for Nairaland?................You and your baba are foooooooooooooooools.

theDEVILisHERE:
Such things are not learnt, it's inborn

Nature born talent stopped as at 2006/7
last I can think of were Mista (Valencia), Van Persie, Gudjhasson (Chelsea), hleb, Rosicsky
etc

The game is now for Athletes not Artists
so expect more Lukaku type

Chai

theDEVILisHERE:
By looping u mean flicking ball up over the keeper
Raul does that a lot but was never known as the king of such
That technique was quite common then
Claudio Lopez (Valencia), crespo (parma), Nuno Capucho (Porto) had better technique in that area

Bergkamp is more of a combination of chip and ur loop
Very exquisite technique, no one does it like him
Most are used to his late career Arsenal goals but many of his best goals where at Ajax when he was young
Even at the closest distance he takes the ball over keepers head with just 1 touch
I had a DVD containing all his Ajax top goals and career
Technique wise he is in another level far above any player

Juninho (Lyon) is the best freekick taker of all time not cause of how many he scored but cause his technique is superior to all others in that regard

To be the best in anything your technique must be superior

I agree with that of Juninho. He also had a 90%+ accuracy
But, what is wrong with useless strikers of nowadays like Lukaku? One on one with the keeper in a close range, they won't even try to play a bit of a lifted shot (not loop o), they will just try to force a useless shot pass the keeper which will be deflected / saved most times. Can't they watch clips of their predecessors and learn finishing 101..the basics of finishing.

Jokerman:
Lol.. Who give Raul 404 goals... Lolssss... Raul just get 312 or 313 goals

I am not talking about just Madrid.
I said career totals.
You can check his wiki page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ra%C3%BAl_(footballer)

sssoulw:
Look the topic very well.... Voted Goal in the UCL

I know bro. You win!

Jokerman:
Raul played 104 games for Spain and scored 44 goals.... Is that clinical enough??
Ronaldo 98 games for Brazil 62 goals
RVN 70 games 35 goals

Let me not talk of Messi or Henry

Funny guy, it is not about the amount of games as you do not know the game plan of the coaches. How many through balls was he given and how many did he miss? Talking about goals, Ronaldo had a career total of 352 while Raul had a career total of 404. Raul was way way more prolific than he was. You can take that to the bank . RVN had a total career strikes of 349

theDEVILisHERE:
"...many goals did Bergkam... " alot

You probably didn't see him play at Ajax when he was European player of the yr and 2nd world best after Baggio
Even at inter and Arsenal (pre 2000)

His technique in looping is supreme
Raul looping technique is not that great

And yes Raul was a neat finisher, even Morientes, Gotti

I did not see him play at Ajax but only have clips. His Inter solourn was very short lived. Bergkamp jabs the ball more to the top of the net and he loops well too. However, his loops cannot be compared to Raul's. There is a large difference in the parabolic nature of their loops.
This is a clip of Raul with some of his goals and loops. You can watch if you have time. The clip contains more than 15 looped goals. You can check out some consecutive loops around the 4th minute mark.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX4tWGUXdvw

This is a clip of Bergkamp as well with some excellent goals and loops. Compare the parabolic nature of his loops to that of Raul. 2 different players, excellent techniques.

theDEVILisHERE:
Then u don't know what clinical striker mean
No one who knows would rate those people above Raul
Matter of fact only person close the word clinical on ur list is Ruud
And I can't even call him that, he is more of a predatory type (6 yard box) like Inzaghi



Clinical strikers: van basten, Raul, Davo Suker, Inzaghi (tho more of 6 yard box), john dal Tomasson (Denmark), Crespo, lewandoski, Diego Tristan (deportivo), Simone (AC Milan 95), Huntelaar (Dutch), Morientes etc

..also this fat Austrian striker, forgotten his name

Thanks for schooling the dude.

Jokerman:
Stop this Raul hype jare.. RVN, R9, Messi are more clinical than Raul

theDEVILisHERE:
The king of loops is Denis Bergkam
He is also the most technically gifted player of all time

90's had strikers more clinical than Raul and Co just than injury and bad career finish most of them

On the one on one thing, R9 and Baggio give everyone a long gap
There's was no to just place rather take the keeper out completely
Far more efficient than any striker in this aspect
No one scored one on one more than those 2
There own was sure and certain goal

How many goals did Bergkam score with loops when compared to Raul?I am sure there are enough Youtube videos to quickly do a comparison. The manner Raul finishes off is just too neat and clinical. I am not trying to take away anything from others neither am I saying Raul is the best striker of all but his finishing is just so so unique with surgical precision.

cr7lomo:
U will grow grey hair trying to explain to a coconut head...

Lol. Funny guy

theDEVILisHERE:
Inzaghi is more clinical than all of them

Van basten is the most clinical and best striker of all time

The issue is "one on one" not who is more clinical

With Ronaldo 9 and Roberto Baggio aka device ponytail a one on one is 95% sure

They would not only take the keeper out
They would destroy and make a mockery of his very existence before calmly walking the ball into the net
One on one with those 2 and ur keeper is finished

Inzaghi is one of my favourite strikers as well. In fact, I cannot remember him or Raul missing a one -on- one. Almost everyone on your list is a one on one executor and this is why the issue of "clinical" needs to come in. Raul is so clinical in that situation. Ronaldo 9 bulldozeers his way through. Raul scores his through surgical precision. He is also the king of do loops in such situation.

Jokerman:
You are a clown... When we talk of finishers in world football ever, I don't think Raul is in top 5 sef

Delima
Ruud Van Nistelrooy
Gerg Miller
Henry
Lionel Messi
C Ronaldo
Lewandowski
Inzaghi

You are the greater clown here as you do not understand simple English.
Raul is one of the best one-on-one finishers ever was the first thing I said. Did I say he is the best finisher of all?
The other dude brought in Ronaldo De Lima and Baggio and I stated that Raul is more clinical in front of goal than they are. Do you understand the usage of the word "clinical"? I doubt you do. There are a couple of better strikers than RAUL (few anyway) but rare to find one as clinical as he is in front of goal. If you do not understand the maning of the word "clinical" as used, ask questions rather than joking around.
All those on your list are / were fantastic strikers as well. Someone like Fillipo Inzaghi for example. Kindly provide me with the goal records of Lewandowski , Henry and co in Europe again. The last time I checked, Raul holds the 3rd position with 142 strikes in Champions league behind Ronaldo and Messi. What is the total career strikes of those on your list when compared to Raul? Provide statistical evidence sir.

theDEVILisHERE:
Best one on one finishers are Roberto Baggio and Ronaldo de Lima (R9)
no one can touch these 2

Raul is more clinical in front of goal than Ronaldo De Lima . Take that to the bank!
Ronaldo De Lima may be more fearsome and aggressive but Raul is the most clinical finisher I have ever seen. What Ronaldo will achieve with 1,000J of energy, Raul will achieve same with less than 100J.

Bahddo:
where is the personality attack on Ronaldo in my post?

Don't try to shift goal posts now, your post was clear enough. You guys are trying to imply that Ronaldo's goal was rated the best by professionals and wins the official award, while Messi's goal won an inconsequential fan vote.

There is no official panelist list that did a countdown from 10 to 1. They simply had a shortlist of 10 goals (its on the UEFA site too) in no defined order, and Ronaldo's goal was the first on the list. Nowhere did they tell you that that was a ranking of the goals, and that Ronaldo's own was adjudged the best.

If it was they would have said so explicitly like they did for Messi's goal that was eventually voted the best and given the title GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT.

Also notice how it is not FANS GOAL OF THE TOURNAMENT.

Can you point to anywhere where I said it was an inconsequential fan vote? Maybe you are mistaking me for someone else. Ronaldo's goal was my personal best. Please check page 1 for my post. How can anyone refer to fans vote as inconsequential where fans are the main engine room of football? Are they not the ones that watched? While I agree that I said in one of my posts that panelists shortlisted and put Ronaldo's goal in the number 1 spot on the list (which is not a lie), I clearly stated that Messi won the votes after the fans voted.

Bahddo:
that was a top 10 shortlist and not an award. Same way you have top 10 for Ballon d'Or and votes from coaches and journalists determine top 3 and the eventual winner.

UEFA favours fan vote for their best goal award. They do it every week and at the end of the tournament. You people just like pushing meaningless anti-Messi agenda.

Have you seen any UEFA source that explicitly refers to Ronaldo's goal as the best? You see their post on their website where 'winner' is written next to Messi, and you are still arguing about the position of names on the top 10 list. Even a list that is not sorted in any particular order must have an item at the top. It means nothing unless they say otherwise.

Go give Ronaldo the award na. Someone whose goal wasn't even recognized as goal of the group stage.

I think the main issue we are having here is comprehension.If you cannot understand what I have written, I do not know how well to explain my points to you. You have even left the main argument to do a personality attack on Ronaldo who does not even know you exist. I referred you to the first page of this thread where I clearly stated that although, Messi won the vote, Ronaldo's goal for me, was the best. We provided the panelist list subsequently to show the load down from 10-1 as agreed by the panelist. Someone posted another link where Messi was said to have won and we never doubted it. I clearly stated that Messi won the fans vote organised in conjuction with Nissan. I do not know why you are being unnecessarily belligerent. Comprehension!

Bahddo:
UEFA is not PFA, and the goal of the tournament is simply a recap of the goal of the week. It's not a big award like player of the tournament which is decided by a panel. They shortlist best goals and the winner is voted by fans.

UEFA used the same format they use in awarding goal of the week. You would understand this if you have voted the goal of the week before. See the goal of the tournament here.

https://gotw.uefa.com/#/en

What are you saying? Go back to the first page and see my post. Messi won the fans' vote for goal of the tournament and I never said he did not. Ronaldo won the panelist vote as his goal was no 1 on the list. Is this too difficult to understand? Ronaldo's goal was adjudged as the best by the panelist. A fan vote was subsequently conducted and Messi won it. Do you understand?

Yo sir, how can I post a link on here

When you are on the page in which you will like to use the link, just select the link by highlighting it then press "copy". When you get to the edit page of nairaland where you want to put the link, just select paste and it will be in your write-up.

sssoulw:
Thanks for that prove..... What am against is you saying two 2% players can score that goal.... haba think na

That was why I asked that you state your points while being civil. That was not enough reasons to ask one to shut up in a public forum.

That was a fan vote in association with Nissan and not the official vote and declaration from UEFA.

princeSammyz:
Please look at that goal again. I believe you follow football. That smash-in is just too regular to compete for a GOT. Maybe there is something about it I'm missing

It is not just because it is a smash in, it is about the execution and timing. Anyone can smash a ball into the net but that particular execution is exceptional. He even timed his leg movement while running with the ball such that he connected with the ball the next time his leg was in position. Timing a long range pass from opposite side or a diagonal long range pass is easier to deal with but timing a long range pass from same side while running is not easy to control talk more of giving it a one-time connection to beat one of the best goal-keepers in his near post. The execution is superb and not more than 5% of footballers can score that without giving the defender and keeper any chance. The goal needs to be stored in a museum. If it is not an exceptional goal, it won't be voted as the best by UEFA.Mind you, the committe that voted included some of the greatest players of the game in the past including the legendary Raul, who to me, is the greatest one-on-one finisher of all time.

Mbitiouz69:
Madzukic of juve, has scored over 160 goals with his head, Ronaldo is just tryin in that aspect

How many goals has he scored in his entire footballing career as a professional for him to have scored over 160 with his head? .
For both clubs and country, he has scored a total of 212 goals. If you subtract 160 from that, you will get 52. According to you, Madzukic has scored just about 50 goals with his legs and about 160 with his head right? If Madzukic sees this aerial ability comparison to C. Ronaldo, he will give you a hot, dirty slap. In the history of the game, only about 6 players can be compared to C. Ronaldo when it comes to aerial ability and they are; 1. Sandor Kocsis, 2. Uwe Seeler, 3. Dixie Dean, 4. Oliver Bierhoff, 5. Horst Hrubesch, 6. Carlos Santillana. Ronaldo is better than some of these but when it comes to heading the ball, these are the ones that can be mentioned in the same sentence with C. Ronaldo. C. Ronaldo is one of the greatest headers of the ball dead or alive. You can take that to the bank!

bendovex:
Lol... This goal is nothing short of a tap-in. The cheapest form of goal any player can execute. Nothing special. Messi's freekick wins it for me.

This is not a tap-in and sorry to burst your bubble. This goal is actually the best goal of the season in Europe.

Kai... This goal is not near exceptional. Its just a goal

In Case You Missed It.
If the goal is not exceptional, it would not have won it. Those who adjudged it to be the best know what they are doing.
