caukerzee: now you dont know what you re talking about. fyi, maradona scored 2goals in that world cup he won. his team did everything. the only reason he got all the attention was because of his 'hand of god' goal and the goal which he dribbled from the center of the feild pass five players. get your facts right.

lol
So Maradona was a bit part player for Argentina huh? I bet he was insignificant for Napoli too.
Please can you name 7 true world beaters from Argentina's Mexico '86 team?

Whobedatte: You know nothing about football , So sharrap!!! No player has ever dragged a mediocre team to the world cup title. The team all round would be good , only he would be an excepptional player. Hear what Jorge Valdano has to say and i quote, Maradona was an exceptional player , a leader of the pack , in the midst of equally good talents. Will maradona/pele drag a liberian , pakistan or togolese team to the world cup title? A team that has Jorge Valdano, the former sporting director@ real madrid, Claudio Buruchaga and the rest is a mediocre team? Do U even know the meaning of mediocre?

Lol
You are just a typical example of a modern day football 'fan' who thinks everything about football is what he is has seen in the past 7 to 10 years he's been watching the sport.
One thing you should know is the individual brilliance and genius of certain players in a team can radiate through and turn average players into world beaters. It was so for Dixie Dean, it was so for Giuseppe Meazza and it was so for Maradona.

dorothy111: My point is, player moves from one team to another, not just players moves from very league to EPL. EPL buy players just like any other team, meanwhile both BECK and Owen won the league for Madrid

Thank you.

honeric01: Give us a product of the EPL that's making wave and stop this childish argument.

Ok... Well Yaya Toure and Aguero are no products of La Liga too. Are they?

caukerzee: a greater pecentage of pele's 1281 goals were scored in meaningless and non-competitive charity matches and friendlies. plus there was no offside rule. you speak as tho football is an individual sport. football is a team sport. Pele did not win the world cup alone, he was just one star among other stars. you cant compare the peles 1956 brazil team to the present messis argentina team. peles team was much better.

Now its a team sport I thought it was all about Messi
Argentina's essembles for the past decade or so have be mediocre right?
Talking about mediocre teams, Maradona played amongst mediocre players, yet he dragged them to conquer all and reach the pinnacle of the sport.

honeric01: A product of the Portuguese League. say something else.

Oh yeah... He became a world beater while in Portugal

caukerzee: your history was gifted to you by generalissimo franco. he was a dictator and dictated everything including madrids matches. without franco, madrids history wount be this rich.

lol... How pedestrian?!
General Franco handed those 5 consecutive European Cup trophies to Madrid too?
General Franco was responsible for that famous 11 - 1 drubbing of Barcelona?
General Franco was responsible for the brilliance of Alfredo Di Stefano and Ferenc Puskas?
General Franco was from the grave responsible for Madrid's 5 consecutive Liga crowns between 1985 and 1990?
Dude come at me with a better argument please.

Timijo: What shall it profit a man that engages in e-arguement and loses all his Mb? Or will he be given another Mb by nairaland?

lol

emmke: La liga is crap yet the best players in the epl at the moment are all products of la liga
Aguero
Mata
Cazorla
Yaya Toure
Silva
Michu
These weren't even the best in la liga, but they've all taken the epl by storm. Waitng for a similar list from the epl fan boys

Oh Critiano Ronaldo is a product of Real's Cantera? La Masia maybe?

phreakabit: Stats for this year alone. . notice the penalties?

Top Scorers
Player [size=18pt]Goals Penalties[/size]
Lionel Messi

Real Madrid 12 4

Radamel Falcao

Aritz Aduriz Zubeldia

Quit being bitter mate. Stats don't lie. BTW Pele did play in the Brazilian and USA Major league only right?

Yeah right. Admittedly, the Brazilian league was one of the best in the world then. Pele's Santos frequently got the better of European teams in both friendlies and inter-continental tourneys!

Whobedatte: So messi dives, U must be watching the back of T.V. Pele would not even score half of the goals he scored then now because of the 'Offside rule' imagine if there was no Offside messi wld score 300 goals in a season. Pele is an Overrated Old fool, FIFA puppet whose Obssession 4 messi would definitely send him to his early grave!!!

lol.... If being a 'puppet' would make me score 1281 career goals, win 3 World Cup Titles.... I wanna be a puppet.

emmke: Remind me what record c ronaldo is chasing again? Oh yes; the 8th highest goal scorer in real madrid's history....

lol... But you have to factor in the fact that Madrid's is a more robust history.

olly4life: Chei, see those CIA guys, dey dare not laugh- I just gbadun dem, any day any time.

Those are Secret Service Agents matey!

Fruittyswaqboii: Shipped no be sold! could be shipped to their outlets. Get ur facts right papi. 1st to comment tho... iHope this makes the frontpage

I'm sure they factored in that before they explicitly stated that it outsold the iPhone! Other tech and news outlet are reporting same too! Can't all be getting their facts wrong, can they?

For years tech pundits have been
searching for an "iPhone" killer -- a
mythical new device that would
dethrone Apple's mighty handset as
the most admired or popular
smartphone. It may be already here. For the first time, Samsung's Galaxy S
III overtook Apple's iPhone 4S to
become the world's best-selling
smartphone model for the third
quarter (July through September) of
2012, according to new research by Strategy Analytics. The Galaxy S III shipped 18 million
units worldwide, compared with 16.2
million for the iPhone 4S. That's 11% of
all smartphones shipped on the planet. Yes, this is the phone in those mocking
TV ads that show annoying fanboys
and fangirls in a thinly disguised Apple
store line, obsessing over their
impending purchase while a happy
Galaxy S III owner saves a place in line ... for his parents. Released in May, the Android-based
Galaxy S III boasts a bigger
touchscreen and longer battery life
than the iPhone 4S, along with more
megapixels in its camera and the
ability to run on 4G cellular networks. Some tech sites have rated it the best
smartphone on the market. But the Galaxy S III reign atop the
sales rankings will likely be short-lived.
As Strategy Analytics pointed out,
iPhone 4S sales waned in the third
quarter as consumers waited for the
iPhone 5, which went on sale September 21. Apple sold 5 million iPhone 5s that first
weekend and is expected to sell many
millions more during this holiday
shopping season.

shymexx: Congrats to Obama...

What's next??

Level up Iran and Syria.

So much for a 'close' contest.
Close contest my ärsè
It's a landslide!

shymexx: Obama won everything - this guy is the anti-Christ!!

No, he's the man for the job!

Has Romney won any of the Swings so far?

shymexx: It's an ar.se whopping of epic proportions - Obama is projected to win about 343 electoral votes..

I didn't expect any less.
I said earlier, that I've never believed in opinion polls.
Good to finally see you coming around mate.

Turns out this won't be the closest of contests y'all envisaged afterall.

244 Obama - 178 Romney
BBC!
26 more to go! Now gimme that Florida!

Tolaaaaannni: Lol, what happened to Romney supporters ??

They went for a long overdue bite of humble-pie. Not that it matters anymore though.

shymexx: Kim Il-sung will chop off the remnant of his fried ar.se lmao...

Yeah, he's that fùckéd!
Trust my little fellas from North Korea.
Or is it obese fella this time around?
Kim Il-Sung really is one tubby overweight squirrel!

shymexx: Bwahahaha

I thought he would switch it up and go hard...

However, ol'boy just sat on his mormon ar.se thinking it's his to lose...

Well he won't be having any årsé after today, cos his mormon àrsè is fried!
He may as well proceed on another 'missionary' journey to North Korea now.

shymexx: Trust me, he's too arrogant....

Are you just getting to know all these or you knew all this while but you wouldn't say?

Freiburger: I thought you had an opposite vision few weeks ago.

Weeks ago? More like moments ago!
Dude been going on bout AIPAC and how powerful they are in deciding this election. He once addressed Mitt Romney as "President-select" a couple of comments up this thread.
Never under-estimate a broddha!

I think Jacksonville effect is now kicking in Florida!

Florida's pendulum can keep dangling for however long it wants, it's eventually gon' land in the blue bowl

Yeah! How is going here folks? Ogu what's the drill with Florida.?
