Can you see how well tonight's game is going?!! Lol!

Portugal is doing well. I hope they can stand stronger opponents.

TheOgaBoss:
even some younger players in their prime will jump at that deal.

No doubt bro…..Oscar did!

TheOgaBoss:
u don't have to be poor to be tempted by 200m euro, I am pretty sure if they add the net worth of everyone in ur generation, past and present it will not get to what he is about earning in one year.

I even doubt whether all Nairalanders put together including Seun reach 200m euros

ThierryJay:
Hahahahaha, you mean those Pendu mods. No shaking, as e dey pain dem e dey sweet us.

Hahahahaahaha…….you don dey patronize Wike weed supplier

You see how they completely ignored Messi's scintillating performances this World Cup on FP. If their favorite had half of Messi's performance level we would not hear word.

Obembet would have created more than one thousand asslicking threads.

Chai, a whole Pendu don see finish; dragged at home, dragged by opponents and "disrespected" by the coach. Where will he find succour?

omo I just tire…….his fans always have excuse

ThierryJay:
How e no go dey bench, when they've been roasting him back home in Portugal for his poor performances. You think Santos will allow him cost him his job again? Let him go and report to Piers Morgan nau like he did over Bruno's goal vs Uruguay.

You will soon be incarcerated by Nairaland Police

Angelfrost:
That's a Ronaldo fanboy ready to sell his soul just to see his idol lift the world cup!

He must be seriously fasting and praying for Ronaldo not to leave the tournament without registering one goal from open play!

you will soon be roasted

Kingcalls:
We all know they underestimated japan and Spain did what they did on purpose ..just like Portugal

After the shocker in 2018, Germany can’t possibly underestimate Japan in their first game.

It’s possible Portugal was on purpose cos they had qualified already but we can say the same for Spain

Kingcalls:
They struggled to beat the swizz simply means Europe is tough but that don't mean they aren't good... I have always said that Brazil is the only team in SA that can compete with Europe...thats y I said copa is trash

Well, it’s funny how Japan can defeat 2 heavyweights(Spain & Germany) but Argentina that is obviously better than Japan can’t match Europe.

Kingcalls:
Dem talk say Argentina go win WC ... y are messibfans so deluded ?? This WC is between France and Brazil

But the same you judge Brazil with their game against Switzerland

Now you don change mouth

Angelfrost:
True sir... Especially Mbappe and company!

Portugal shook my confidence in them when this same pathetic South Korea beat them!

Exactly!

The QF game between France & England will be interesting. Let’s cross our fingers and see if Mbappe and co can upset the 3lions.

Angelfrost:
Portugal Vs France or Spain is anyone's game!

Portugal can best either of them! No cap.

And they can do same to Portugal as well.

Jokerman:
If BottleTINA escape Holland, can they escape Brazil, knowing that this is not Commebol

Everyday Messi team dey give you headache when you should be worried about how your regular bottlers will cope against Spain or France if they eventually succeed against Switzerland.

Jokerman:
Ronaldo at 37.

It happened at 37 means nothing……it could have happened at anytime in his career so stop using records he was on course to break before or after now to cover his abysmal performance recently.

If you want me to applaud him at 37, show me his top scorer award, player of the tournament or other recognition that shows he’s been impacting games not records he is/was meant to break at some point in his career.

Wildkat02:
Nations league not a recognized competition but there’s a trophy for it... Lol. funny guy

Nations league not recognized yet it’s more competitive than the Copa America..... Lol.

competitive indeed!

If it’s that competitive why did Ronaldo join Portugal in the semis?

Tell me why German team was filled with Team B players?

Bro, the only recognized competition in Europe is the Euro.

Ronaldo fans trying so hard to make UNL look big and competitive cos Portugal won it.

Who is the champions of Europe…..France or Italy?

Let me also remind u that Xavi and Iniesta was part of that Spanish team. Infact that Spanish team was Barça, it was just that Messi wasn’t there to make it a full Barcelona side. So caution with the false info

Was Xavi still playing in Europe in 2018?

Iniesta was 35 or 36 at the time.

When Spain had a stronger team, they played Portugal twice. I ask again, what did Ronaldo do against them in 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012?

I’m not having this conversation with u guys. U Messi fans are irrational with arguments

Why have a conversation you obviously can’t win?

Wildkat02:
Whatever Messi thinks he’s doing now. Ronaldo did more when he was that same age, both at club side and international level. It was at that age he dealt with Spain. That same age he won the Nations League. That’s same age he increased his international goal tally beyond reach. So stop hating on CR7 the enigma

What exactly did Ronaldo do at Messi’s current age aside hiding in the box for his usual tapins?

He contributes little or nothing when he’s not scoring that’s why he’s been sitting on the bench under Ten Hag.

Ten Hag can’t bench Messi cos if he’s not scoring, he will playmake and assist his team.

Dealt with Spain? A weak Spain without Iniesta, Xavi and few others?

Same Spain that didn’t make it out of their group in 2014 World Cup?

Same Spain that struggled in 2018 World Cup?

Did Ronaldo not play a stronger spain in 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012, how many goal did he score?

Nation league is not a recognized competition. It’s more like a competitive friendly games.

Meanwhile, Bernardo Silva and others ran the show for Portugal. With or without Ronaldo, Portugal would most likely have won it.

Kingcalls:
Lol...who wants to knock Portugal out??

You would most likely have asked which country (especially SA teams) can knock Germany or Denmark out if had qualified.

My own be say no allow Portugal win against Ghana & weak Uruguay make you think say them fit defeat Spain or even Croatia.

Don’t be surprise, almighty France may not get to the semis like it happened in Euros last year.

France
Portugal
Brazil
Argentina
Spain & even Croatia all have equal chance to win this tournament.

Kingcalls:
Yes...they are better than them all
Portugal
Spain
England
Croatia
Argentina

Good. No excuse if they knock Portugal out.

Kingcalls:

Thats will be the last 4

Europe still rules

Portugal last 4?

You think they are better than England, Spain, Croatia & Argentina?

We gather dey!

Kingcalls:
Wetin de do Spain?? This b like set up... if I be Germany, if Spain no equalise , win game ...I go allow Costa rica win...mk we all kuku comot ...

Your almighty European countries have been struggling.

Funny how Belgium couldn’t qualify from a group with Morocco & Canada.

Denmark finished last with 1point in a group with Tunisia & Australia

Spain dey collect from the same Japan that defeated Germany.

Serbia couldn’t defeat Cameroon

The Poland you claim would knock Argentina out no fit trap ball yesterday.

Japan top group with Germany & Spain??

Wow!!

If na SA teams now, you go don write loads of epistle.

Try dey calm down…..football no be 1+1

ThierryJay:
Lol brother. Pendu has caught his sub since. Imagine the kind of brilliance that would have won Messi MOTM in a game where he missed a penalty and had no goals or assists. Our livescores Pendulum watchers can't relate. Na to be stealing other peepu's goals dem sabi

Other players must score or maybe assist to win MOTM except Leo!

Pinterest:
I’m still looking for Messi’s picture with the Player of the match trophy. I want to post it here to pepper Pendu boys.

don’t have it bro

Numerouno94:
Bro stop wasting ur precious time and energy in trying to school those guys. 90% of Pendu's fans re empty headed aka coconut head.

Bro, I will put a call across to u this weekend, on Sunday precisely. I want to clear and finally part ways with that guy B4 I bring u in. I blif we will both do well. I don't even mind relocating to Abuja.

No wahala bro. I go dey expect your call

ThierryJay:
Despite missing an undeserved penalty, Messi still went on to run the show with his scintillating team play, and was duly awarded the man of the match award becoming the player with the most MOTM awards in World Cup history.

I've said it before: To be the GOAT no be by penalties.

The bolded, Pendu be like, talk to me directly and stop cutting corner

Starz825:
And France, Netherlands, Germany, Belgium are the reason why Brazil (being so good to you all and always the favorite) has not set their hands on the world cup so far since 2002....


Even this year own no sure...

and because of Brazil, it took Germany more than 30years to win another WC in 2014.

Brazil no win since 2002…..how many WC Belgium, Netherlands and France put together?

Starz825:
Who be Poland....

God save Argentina...
If to say he go carry second...
He for meet France na ...
Same France wey commot am for round of 16 for 2018....

Huna talk ball like say people wey dey here no dey watch the game....

Na the same Argentina and Brazil Germany use collect world cup for south American soil in 2014


He go better make you stick with your keyboard ooo...

and Brazil used England and Germany win 2002 WC…..how about that?

Poland defending against Argentina?

I pity them cos if Argentina gets the first goal and they come out to attack, Argentina will bury them.

Kingcalls:
2011 Uruguay...a golden generation, Chile the next 2 ( golden generation) in SA , great players are teams don't come often apart from Brazil and Argentina, unlike Europe that have alot of top nations ... if Germany is not producing, Italy France Croatia Belgium will... if those ones are not, swizz , Sweden, Denmark Portugal will, if those ones fails, England, Holland, Czech will...its constant in Europe and thats y they are always well prepared for the WC and will definitely win it again... Brazil struggled against Serbia and swizz...these are teams France or Germany on a good day will annihilate....

Talking about Euros 2016...apart from Croatia and France.... Portugal dominated every single game ( apart from poland that was 50/50)... even though Euros is the only national tournament apart from WC that plays R16.... u think its easy?? By tomorrow Senegal will knock out Ecuador...and Argentina , if they luckily escape Poland will definitely go back home against France in R16 ...

Now u have entered representing other countries ...messi fans ...Goal post shifters

Europe is 3-4 times the size of SA so it’s only normal for them to have more top nations.

What has Belgium, Sweden, Denmark, Czech & England achieved with the talents they have produced all these years?

In recent time, Uruguay, Columbia & Chile have done better than most of the countries you mentioned in WC.

Just like Croatia, Belgium, Sweden, Czech & Denmark, Germany & France will also struggle if they were to depend solely on pure French and German players.

Only Spain & Italy can match the SA teams in terms of talents.

Atleast Brazil defeated both teams, have you suddenly forgotten how you humiliated this same Brazil because they couldn’t defeat Switzerland in the last World Cup?

In Euro2016, Portugal struggled in their 3 group games bro. They even managed to qualify as best loser.

You mean Ecuador that Netherlands struggled to secure a draw?

What has Messi fans got to do with this?

Even though I know you narrative about South America has everything to do with Messi, I believe we can have a decent discussion without bringing Ronaldo & Messi in it.

wildkat:
Oga stop these kain talk naa. There are 17 countries in South America. And that’s enough to stage a really competitive competition. Upon sey them no dey get qualifiers before any country can play the COPA.

Number of countries is not an excuse pls.

Number isn’t quality. Quality is better than quantity. Copa lacks quality simple!

Not 17 bro…..SA has 14 countries.

With the number of countries in SA, there’s no need for qualifiers.

The number of countries is an excuse to a large extent cos they are likely to have a more competitive and interesting tournament if they had more teams.

If we go by your logic on Quality over quantity which I quite agree with, it’s safe to say Europe has more trash teams than any other continent but it’s not noticeable because of the superpowers like Spain, France, Germany & few others.

Luxembourg
Lithuania
Moldova
Faroe Island
Gibraltar
Malta
Estonia and many other

What Europe has over other continents is economic advantages.

France lured Mbappe, Kante and many others.

Germany lured Ozil, Boateng, Podolski and many others.

Do you think if those guys had played for their original countries, France & Germany would have won the World Cup and even if they did win the WC, there will be no need for dominance.

Kingcalls:
In 2018 , Portugal outplayed Uruguay... below are the stats... they were just lucky to have been clinical in their counter approach...

How did Portugal win Euro2016?

Rate their performance let’s see if they deserve to finish third place.

South America have teams 3 teams that produce great team once in like 30 to 40yrs ( Chile Uruguay Colombia and mayb Paraguay) the rest are trash ...thats y its a tournament designed for just Brazil and Argentina.... if not for suarez, Uruguay last WC semis wud have been 72 yrs ago...

Did you just say designed for Argentina & Brazil?

2007 was the last time Brazil won Copa America before 2020 and between those times, 3-4 editions were held and you and I know, Argentina didn’t win that tournament for 27years…..so which teams been dey win am?

I repeat, SA teams are trash apart from Brazil... I cudnt stop laughing when Argentina were placed as favourites... apart from a 35 yr old messi and 34 yr old Dimaria... who else can perform magic ?? U messi fans are just delusional...

I told you earlier. Europe has economic advantages that’s just the difference.

Economic advantage is the only reason France have won 2 World Cups with half or more of their players originally from other countries.

Same with Germany.

As a matter of fact, Spain and Italy are the only European teams to have won the World Cup in recent times with 70-80% of their own citizens.

Belgium, England and others struggling with their citizens all these years.

If everyone were to represent their own country, how many World Cup do you think Europe would have won?

wildkat:
Copa America is truly trash. How many big teams play it compared to Euros.

Brazil, Argentina, Uruaguay, Chile and maybe Paraguay. The rest there na jara. And that’s why na always this same countries dey appear for final

Did you consider the size of the continent or they should manufacture teams to participate in the competition inorder to make it look like the euros?

Kingcalls:
Told u that copa America is trash

Copa is trash cos Uruguay have aging and out of form players?

On a good day, you and I know Ghana is no match for Uruguay but this isn’t the best time for them.

When Suarez and others were younger they knocked Portugal out. Does that make Euros trash too?

Small Chile defeated European champions Spain in 2010…. Should we now call euros trash?

Spain had it rough in 2014 and 2018 World Cup

France suffered in 2010 and 2014 World Cup

Germany suffered in 2018 World Cup and they are still suffering now.

Italy didn’t even qualify for 2010, 2018 & 2022

Netherlands suffered too……they didn’t even qualify for World Cup
In 2018 & Euro2020.

All the teams I listed suffered from the fact that most of their key players retired or aged and they are gradually rebuilding with new players and thats exactly what’s happening to Uruguay & Chile at the moment.

You know better…..drop the sentiment bro!

Kingcalls:
I never said they are not good...it shows how powerful Europe is when it comes to football... especially those saying Europe has been winning world cup cos they have most teams represented....

Reason I said copa is trash compared to Euros

No reasonable person will underrate euros but it’s better not to compare cos Europe has economic and other advantages.
