Is Owen responsible for Ronaldos shape?

Ronaldo was sick with hypothyroidism na.

Even if you are shown video evidence you will still call it fake. It's when they slap you and you instantly start eating grass you will get the memo. People are telling you what they have experienced and you are doubting them.

They expect it to be one magical scene, that's why.

Supernatural things always present themselves in the way our minds can understand.

If you are shown the code of nairaland, as a novice to IT, you'll be lost. So it is with the supernatural.

airmark:
Yes those days players have more freedom to express themselves.

My point was on shooting. Attackers those days could shoot from outside the box as they liked.

Most teams are programmed these days to walk their ways into the box and into the net.

Barkley's last goal for Chelsea against Liverpool, some fans would have killed him if he had missed that chance, because another player was to his right inside the box, to score.

We have more ball curlers than shooters now.

It's all right.

Ibime:
Another good point. People forget that Ronaldo was slim in 2002 when he returned for the World Cup.

It's not injury that made him fat and less mobile but how he took care of his body from 2002 to 2006. Messi is not responsible for Ronaldos lack of professionalism from 2002 to 2006.

You didn't read where Carlos blasted Owen over him insulting Ronaldo's shape?

airmark:
How many players are shooting these days? In fact it's more annoying watching matches, where teams would want to get into the box before scoring. One of the reasons 'Sarri ball' almost became 'Sorry' ball.

In those days, we had more ball shooters than we have now.

I think coaches these days won't allow you dribble like okocha and dinho.

Those days, players would do crazy things with the ball. When you watch crazy dribble highlights, you'll get bored if you start from 2010 or thereabout.

Footballers nowadays are over pampered and protected especially the talented ones. Now football is less of a contact sport. Breath on Neymar/Messi/Hazard and the ref is calling a foul 9 times out of ten. It has become too rigid and tactics oriented.

That's the thing.

Messi slander. Sweet melodies to my ears

Kimbeast:
I still remember before the 98 world cup how the entire competition was built around a young Delima Ronaldo leading his country and boy he didn't disappoint. He tore the entire tournament to shreds. The fact that the world has seen Maradonna but still rave about a young Ronaldo should tell everyone how ridiculous talented he was. The first mover advantage don't ever Carry weight when the world has seen the exploits of Maradona coupled with other great players around that era as well.

It was even that era that they did more skillful things. Now, you don't waste time. Cut one, and shoot.

Replying every message would've resulted in spamming the thread, but rest assured, I saw everyone of them. And I appreciate every one of them. Thank you very much to everyone who's taken time out to celebrate with me. You will be celebrated.

Walk into any isolation center near you and tell them today is your birthday. You go chop taya.

New rules, more sophisticated management, far less ambitious players nowadays (like neymar, pogba and others who love the spotlight more than the work) really helped Messi and Ronaldo sha.

Unlimited22:
Happy birthday to me.

Happy birthday. Chop well.

Messi's turn.

iamoyindamola:
Pick just one

Na nwankwo o.

spillo1:
LMFAO......Bro we are talking about DeLima Ronaldo, of course he is a god in the Football universe. . The only player better than DeLima is Maradonna and if not for injuries he would have surpassed him.

baba, I dey feel you.

Boss was not counting all those heavy, fast and sharp leg over to be insulted this way.

Godx:
Who can guess this person

Na OBJ na.

Even scientist that are atheist don't completely believe in evolution or the big bang theory. What are you saying? Religion does not stop anyone from being educated.
Many scientific research came from religious backgrounds. I’m sure you’ve heard that Gregor Mendel, the father of genetics, was a Catholic monk. He remained a catholic monk even after postulating genetics. He certainly didn’t see any conflict between religion and science. Pasteur is another second example. Infact history is filled with religious people who invented and postulated numerous scientific ideals. Christianity does not stop his members from acquiring knowledge.
Guy in America there are anti-vaxxers. Educated people who are atheist as well that don't believe in vaccines and opposes them. Is that because of religion as well? So Nigeria not allowing gayism is one of the reasons the country is not progressing?

Thank you.

There is a pastor I'm following now. Apostle Arome. He said science is not an enemy of Christianity. He points out that fact. Even in the bible, we have seen scientific works. From Noah, to Jacob.

God entertains questions. Think. Gideon asked, "if you are God let this cotton be wet."

These guys just feel that all top shots in the world today are atheists.

Ibime:
I'm only just getting the joke after your explanation

that gif kill me.

atheist until the plane starts falling

Them go shout Jesus

Melvyn11:
And children born into atheist family?

They are considered to be free

hardeycute:
The "Why" is the bolded in your first paragraph; indoctrination.

It's all about experience bro. Experiential knowledge. There is a realm your limited mind can't cross. You guys feel you are smart.

Your critical thinking can just take you to an extent. It can't take you out of the three-dimensional plane.

When they asked Jesus for a sign, he didn't bother cos they won't grasp.

The Jews seek signs, Greeks seek wisdom.

diggz:
What is the need for critical thinking if after critically thinking one can't proffer a single solution apart from abandon religion?

They are a bunch of pretenders who've refused to take any responsibility.

The thing weak me.

Even if I am to agree with them, what's the concrete reason for me to abandon a practice that has been real to me from birth?

It will take more than "abandon your religion' to do that. I guess religious folks are smarter than the critical thinkers because they can't figure a way to win my soul, whereas uneducated folks have been doing that since time immemorial.

Anyway, every man to his own.

diggz:
Critical thinking...critical thinking...oya use your critical thinking proffer solutions apart from abandon religion...no way

They don't have any solution apart from that. I've had this argument with people on Whatsapp. I got tired. Same story.

Their critical thinking is just for argument. Nothing more.

rationalhuman:
I got my university degree from India, lived there total eight years.
Several of my friends from different parts of India were non religious guys, but on documents they were all Hindus. This was case for majority of them.
Except few Muslims , they were only one practicing Islam.

I also know several nigerians who play the game of documentation. So?

demanuel:
How do you promote the new gig, is it just by buying reviews?

Same way you promoted the one that was sent back.

BlueRayDick:
It's not religion Jare. A lot of religious and non-religious wicked people abound in the country.

Abi O

BlueRayDick:
He's actually right, 79.8% of India's population practice Hinduism....That's like over 1 billion people engaging practising a religion our of about 1.3billion people.

When I was interning at a bank, A Lebanese client, big man, asked for a place to pray, because his prayer time clashed with business time. They had to give him the space for the sales agents. I've not heard of or seen that hear shlt ever from a Nigeria.

Did that stop him from making his millions? Nah.

We Nigerians are just wicked to ourselves. Period. Lets free religion out of this one abeg.

rationalhuman:
Should i consider this as Joke of the Day??

Start with your moniker.

JAYEFF:
Right.

Why were you so confident

timbros:
Guys make una no dey talk like this.

At the bolded... You can never be sure. Drogba and Rooney was tied on 26 goals each.

And all the match was played at the same time. Drogba just wanted to add to his goals tally, expecting that Rooney might also score.

Man Utd won their own match I think 4-0 but Rooney didn't score.

I'm sure Lampard and Drogba discussed that penalty during half time and Lampard may have explained things to him. In the 2nd half, Chelsea got another penalty and Drogba took it. This time, the match is already sealed.

I remember watching that match with tension from the beginning knowing how Wigan use to worry us those days.

Ordinary Pena o.

timbros:
The difference between Drogba and Lampard is that Lampard is the no. 1 designated penalty taker. Drogba is number 2.

Once Lampard is on the pitch, he takes the penalty. No debate. Any other person wanting to take penalty when Lampard is on the pitch is for personal glory.

At the end of the day, it will be a Chelsea player who won the golden boot. Which one be personal glory? Abi if Lampard score people no go run go celebrate with am? No be him name them go add the goal to?

wooooooo Lampard the glory hunter.

donjazet:
The Chinese government have been cracking down on religion for decades.
So I don't know what you mean when you say they are more religious than us.

As for India, they have been at loggerheads with Pakistan for decades now purely on religious grounds. The two countries are divided purely on the basis of religion.
I affirm my earlier stance that religion is at the basis of mankind's problems and deaths.

Crackdown on their main religions or Islam and Christianity?

Your second statement does not talk about how religion affected India. Has the USA not being on loggerheads with other countries on non-religious things?

Talk another story.

Ibime:
Drogba was a known penalty misser. He scored 11 and missed 7 penalties in his career. His body language was too easy to read. I've seen him miss penalties before that the goalkeeper can easily telegraph from his body language. Tall players don't usually fare well with penalties due to their physiology being easy to read. That's how he missed Ivory Coast chance of glory in AFCON. I was surprised he scored that penalty in Munich TBH. I expected him to miss.

Why did Lampard not teach him PK tactics, the way Okocha taught Ronaldinho how to drimbu
