I am happy for Akwa United but my problem is Caf Competitions. I just hope they can give Esperance, Al Ahly, Wydad Casablanca, Zamalek, Raja Casablanca, Pyramid & Etoile de Sahel a run.

Absolutely spot on mate,that niqqa ruined everything..they shld probe him.

Absolutely bro..... He was highly unprofessional as a president.

Messi didn't cause their financial misery. Bartomeu ruined everything with his failed project......wasted 140M on Coutinho, 120M on Dembele & 120M on Greizmann. Now the club is struggling to find buyer even for half the amount the spent to get these guys.

That man ( Bartomeu) should be arrested and presecuted for misappropriation of funds.

charlesm91:
the contract talks broke down some it means Messi leaving isn't actually a choice he was down with and is only a matter of circumstances this has happened. Besides why would he leave after agreeing to take a paycut? something happened betwee he and the board/la liga officials.

Whether it I by choice or not, the fact is that he's leaving. If he was scared like some people claim, he probably would have accepted whatsoever he's offered in the contract to keep hiding in Barcelona.

The hypocrisy of Ronaldo fanboys is second to none. They said he can't win Int'l trophy, he proved them wrong. They said he's scared to leave Barcelona, its happening yet some are still complaining.

The only reason is that he is looking for a club that will take him to CL glory...after promising barca that he will bring CL to nou camp...and some mumu de call am goat... when the GOAT speaks it happens.... he only said that cos the real GOAT left real madrid...messi himself knows Ronaldo is a confirmed achiever compared to him...

Cry, cry baby.........You said he can't win Int'l title, he proved you wrong. You said he can't play outside Barcelona, it's happening already and you still dey complain.


Bloody hypocrite!
You stink with your level of hypocrisy

Aanu Mpama!

Was barcelona the best attacking team that year? If there was an award for a defender, who do you think would have won the best defender that year?
Had messi won a trophy with his club he would not need to win the world cup to win the balor d hor reaching the final of the world cup would have been enough but him and barca underperformed that year and end up trophiless.
In contrast sneider excelled for club reaching the final of the world cup should have cemented his place same with d milito had he backed up his excellent display for club for his country. But nor of them would still have won it had they won the worlld cup because they are not as popular as the players that beat them to the podium.

Don't get me wrong. I never said VVD wasn't the best defender in Europe that year but it didn't stop Liverpool from conceding many goals meanwhile as a forward, Messi scored more goals than every player in his position...........Judging by their respective positions.

Messi & Barcelona underperformed? No, Messi didn't underperform but Barcelona did cos they achieved nothing but see his stats below:
Messi.......58 goals
Ronaldo......61 goals

This shows that on a personal level, he wasn't far behind but Ronaldo backed his with club achievements. Winning the WC would have changed everything cos he lacked bragging right with his club that year.

Like i said earlier, Sneijder didn't do badly but it wasn't enough for balon dor.......If Milito had gotten to the WC finals, he would have had a chance cos of his outstanding performances in UCL & Seria A.

Every one keep talking about Sneijder because of the treble inter won. In the UCL, he scored about 3 goals. In the league he didn't have up to 10goals. He performed better in the WC but unfortunately they lost the final. He didnt even win best player in any of the competitions he played. I ask again, on what basis should Sneijder have won balon dor??

I get bro..thnks

welcome bro.......Good morning

Dont compare a defender with a striker in terms of goals....he won the epl and ucl best player, two tournament that is a factor when decideing the balor d hor....which mean on a personal level he is better than messi in ucl by virtue of winning the ucl best player. He also took his national team to the final of a major tournament.
Again that was his first season thats why...a more popular defender would have won the award....i think a major factor before winning balor d hor is popularity which is not suppose to be so.
Ronaldo would not have won it had he not won the ucl with so much record broken even if argentina didnt win the world cup
As for sneider it would had made more sense had iniesta won the award maybe due him winning the world cup...but sneider not even making the top3 is absurd.

Not comparing a defender and a striker but lets do it this way. On a personal level VVD did very well but Messi was better. As a defender, was his Liverpool the team with the best defence in Europe that year? No but Messi was the best forward in Europe that same year.

Do you realize Milito was UCL & Seria A best player in 2010? He was very instrumental to Inter's UCL & Seria A victory but wasn't even nominated.

To be very sincere with you, if Argentina had won 2014 WC, nothing would have stopped Messi from winning that award. Ronaldo won because he achieved more with his team but on a personal level they were on par.

Sneijder case was a complex one. The three candidates were too strong to defeat.....if you look at the top 3 Iniesta, Xavi & Messi, who should they have dropped for him. To me, Sneijder didnt do enough break into the top 3.

ojaysam25:
Vvd won the epl best player and the ucl best player, he took netherland to the inagural nations league final which they lost to portugal....he had a tremedous season for both club and country....
As for sneider i think he deserve the awards over messi or iniesta, he was instrumental for the successes of his club and country....let say he won the world cup over iniesta spain....i still think they would have given messi the award over him because he does not had the popularity....a ronaldo under such circumstances would have won it.

On personal performance, Sneijder was nowhere near Messi in 2010.....Messi was European Golden Boot winner, UCL top scorer, won la liga & Copa Del Rey. Unfortunately, Argentina didn't do well in the WC. On what basis do you think Sneijder should have won it? Iniesta had a better 2010 than Sneijder.....won the league, Copa Del Rey & the WC and he was highly influential. Sneijder was no where near the top 3 probably he would have been considered if they had won the WC. Do you think Ronaldo would have won Balon in 2014 if Argentina had won the WC?

VVD can't defeat Messi based on personal performance but dont forget winning the UCL is not the only factor to consider just like in 2010 & 2013 though it increases ones chances but like I always say, personal performance first before teams achievements and that's why Messi defeated him despite losing UCL semis to Liverpool.

ojaysam25:
Bro, sneider won all trophy in club football even defeating barcelona in ucl and did well with his national team taking them to the final of the world cup....there is no arguing he deserve the award.... Ronaldo won the champions league in 2014....make a case for ribery the previous year not neur.
In my opinion i think ronaldo does not deserve the award in 2013(he paid for it in 2018)it should be ribery but the balor d hor had lost its credibility then, same with messi in 2010&2019 sneider and van dijk deserve it in those years.

In 2010 make a case for Iniesta not Sneijder. Sneijder never deserved balon dor. Iniesta was a better player in 2010 than Sneijder. He won the world cup, league & Copa Del Rey with outstanding performances. Sneijder wasn't even the best player in inter. If Sneijder was that influential, Milito wouldn't have beaten him to the UEFA Player of the Year Award....... I keep saying it that Balon dor is based on individual performance backed up by team's achievement. I brought Neuer up because of the rubbish that niqqa said. I disagree with you on 2019. Messi was European Golden Boot winner and was also top scorer in UCL.......so because he didn't win UCL, you think he doesn't deserve the award after scoring 53 goals?? Common man!

espn:
Why would you use just 2021...

It wasn't me who said January. The guy I quoted said Lewy scored 48 goals in 2021. Lewy's 48 goals was for the entire campaign not 2021.

Kingcalls:
If Messi deserved it by scoring only goals...then Ronaldo also deserved it in 2013 by scoring goals as well ...what did messi win in 2012... Ronaldo won the league in 2012 and took Portugal to the semis of the euros...

You are still contradicting yourself. You were the one who said Messi robbed Sneijder, Iniesta & VVD before i brought up Ribery & Neuer to counter you by using same logic you applied in Messi's case.

Based on individual performance, will you compare Messi & Ronaldo's individual performance in 2012? 2012 was not a good season for Barcelona but on a personal level, Messi's achievement cannot go unnoticed. Inside the 91 goals numerous records were broken. He was UCL top scorer, won copa del rey, UCL semis with outstanding performances.

Again he won the CL at least ...set a new CL record with 17 goals... what did messi win that season ?

UCL top scorer, European Golden boot winner. Winning la liga and copa del rey by scoring 60goals was not enough to get him the award but a trophyless Ronaldo deserved 2013 right??

use your head man

Kingcalls:
U see y they say u are a hypocrite...so because messi won golden ball, neuer was not in contention despite winning the world cup and defeating messi...but Ronaldo that defeated neuer in the semi final of that seasons CL with 2 goals by him and winning the CL should hv lost to neuer .... leave hypocrisy , it will harm u

Ronaldo and hypocritical fans sef...........by your logic, it was a world cup year. balon dor should be given to a player from the winning team. isn't that the reason you hypocrites have been talking about 2010?

if Ronaldo deserves 2014, dont you hypocrite ever talk about 2010 ever again................ewu

Kingcalls:
Answer the question i asked u and stop jumping

was he in contention for the golden ball? No!
was he in contention for Balon dor? Yes.........stop asking stupid question

Kingcalls:
But he wasn't robbed with the golden ball going to Messi shey?? Mumu fans

You no get sense otherwise you go know say na your mumu logic i dey use for you.

When Messi wins FIFA award, you blame Blatter. when he wins Balon dor, Platini should be blame. he won Copa America, you still have the nerves to say a whole continent organized one tournament to please one player.

Don't you how much ridicule you have brought on yourself because of HATRED

Kingcalls:
When did Ronaldo rob neuer?? Fake people like u.... ribery was an effect of the robbery on Ronaldo a yr earlier

2014 he won the world cup, won the league & DFB Pokal.....he came third and you talking about Sneijder that didn't make the top 3.

Kingcalls:
Messi dint deserve the last he won if u say lewa don't deserve this... the same thing messi won is the same lewa won...league titles and European golden boot with both loosing their national intercontinental titles

December no far. Journalist, coaches & club captains will decide who deserves it.

Kingcalls:
Lewandowski hit 41 league goals guy... u messi fans think football starts and ends with messi...u dont even check other players statistics...minions

Don't quote me if you don't understand the discussion pls..........we talking about 2021 not the entire season

Kingcalls:
Ronaldo is not claiming balon dor...but u criminals want to rob lewa just like u robbed iniesta, VVD and Sneijder in the past.... balon dor criminals. The guy stated facts .... which important goal did messi score this season in all honesty .. u are calling 30 league goals with 24 coming against the last 7 ... cudnt s ore atletico, real madrid, was disgraced at home to juve and psg ...wasn't influential in both the semi final and final of the copa and u criminals want to dash him balon dor ....Lewandowski win the league...broke the league's goal record, won European boot scored more goals than messi in the CL and passed messis stage in the CL , scored 3 out of his country's 4 goals in the Euros ...and u want them to give it to that dwarf fraud

You see how much sense you dont have right?? 24 goals against the last 7 teams was a blatant lie and what i stated there is fact. don't just believe any crap you see because your hate Messi........do you findings

Keep wailing......e go clear for your eyes soon!

Before i forget, Ronaldo robbed Ribery & Neuer just like Messi robbed VVD, Iniesta & Sneijder.

OSDD:
Okay..... Carry your hypocritical attitude elsewhere

Broaden your horizon sucker

OSDD:
Your hypocrisy stinks, don't try to put up excuses... You said he "doesn't" stand a chance.. I guess it is a statement of probability... Rubbish

No excuses.....the simple truth is you lack comprehension

OSDD:
I don't know who you are deceiving.... From him having no chance to him having a chance... You are full of hypocrisy.... I no dey follow those kind of people relate at all

PS: I don't engage hypocrites

I should have known you have comprehension problem. Try and widen your horizon alittle cos I still don't understand how you manage to misconstrue I don't see him defeating Messi to mean he can't defeat Messi.


As for the second screenshot, I exposed the boxer's lies.......... What's the problem with that??

OSDD:
I don't need to make any hasty conclusion, you're apparently blind to Messi's view... It is written all over your comment...

Well, the fact that i place Messi ahead of Lewy in this race does not mean Lewy do not stand a chance in my view but instead of engaging me constructively, you decided to stereotype as expected.

OSDD:
It's difficult to explain to Messi and Ronaldo fan boys... Una no dey think at all

Maybe you should have explained before making hasty conclusion. Now e clear say you no even know wetin you dey talk about

Kilishihunter:
No way dey to fix CR5 na, so the next thing na to switch to "pull him down syndrome"

Kilishihunter:
Ballon d or award is given on a year's performance not seasonal like the FIFA the best
Lewandowski in 2021- 34 goals, 4 assists
Messi in 2021- 33 goals, 14 assists
Surprised few people are stanning jorginho now unlike before

help me tell am again

OSDD:
Na only that point you see. You be better hypocrite... Neither Messi nor Ronaldo deserves it... But your love for Messi don cover your eye and any option is either from Madrid fan or Ronaldo fan

last year, he would have won it without a fight but unfortunately, it was cancelled. I don't see him defeating Messi this year.

OSDD:
That doesn't change the fact that he deserves it way more than Messi or Ronaldo

enlighten me pls
