How old are you? Do you live in a cave? Stop using free NL mode, Google is free, use it more instead of showcasing your ignorance on a public forum. #my50Cent... Stay the fck out of my mention.

But Colombia really tried. How can you win with one man down when the match isn't about to end??
Kudos!

No Araujo, no party 😂😂😂😂

hkidola00:
Copa America where Canada is playing semi final..Canada won't qualify for euro

Eiyah poor Canada 😭 😭 😭 😭

What of Argentina, will Argentina qualify for Euros? Can Argentina win the most important trophy in the history of not just football but sports in general?

Okay, I'm asking if Argentina can qualify for the world cup and even win it? Or was it rigged?? Just like this rigged miss?😂 😂 😂

Almiron:
lmao, obvious he is not

Cook bro....

The Bible says "Teach a child the way he should go, and when he grows up he will not depart from it"

That boy has been breathing football since he was a baby, it has become his habit and life.

He is a product of habit, not a product of grace.

Both could be true but it's not really about the bible right now.

Zidane's son, Enzo breathe football too, but didn't make it big. Maradona too, Ronaldinho too. They all have kids and they all play football yet nothing come out.

For Yamal, it's about motivation, talent, grace amd the zeal to emulate who touched him as a kid. I'm sure growing up, yamal was told that he was touched by Messi so it's like an extra motivation.

Grace is part of it because the Barca team of 007 was filed with superstars and they all touched a kid that year along with Messi yet nothing come out aside Yamal.

Ronaldinho, Deco, Xavi, Marquez, Iniesta, Guily, Valdez, Puyol, Etoo to mention a few all touched a kid during this exercise in 2007, why only yamal?

Ronaldinho, Etoo and to some extent Deco were bigger players than Messi in 007, where are the kids that they touched? I'm pretty sure they touched a kid just like Messi did!

Omo Pessi fans choke everywhere. No breathing space for Trevor2 guy . Man has been acting like one man mopol. One day he will accept reality. Nihilist and other Wasiu fans on this board has given up already

Funny thing is that Messi fans care no doubt but I don't think they're causing much mayhem on nairaland. You need to go to other platforms to see them in full flow.

In 2016, this thread and that of United was premium Messi trolling especially the night ororo won the euros. In fact, until 2021, ororo fans were on rampage. Them don quiet now.

Messi fans dey calm 😂😂😂😂

Thiago alcantara is joining hansi flick coaching crew

Kai but we already have "idea ball" king in Dejong. I wish him all the best @Barca. He was a good player though.

Meanwhile, Baba what are we gonna do in UCL like this Baba. Ter Stergen still dey give me PTSD walahi

Adakintroy:
Ororo go don cry cartah commot from nose. Ronoldo fans go shoot Messi itagba if he win this competition.


At this point I don't want Messi to win anything it getting to obvious. I like it better when wasn't too obvious.

Obvious Una!

Almiron it's obvious that your brother is crying again. This is the more reason why Messi must win this Copa again. We need more salt for our soup.

Obvious like this rigged miss in a rigged world cup 😂 😂 😂 😂

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
Na dani olmo I want. Nico no dey move me.

It depends on what you want to do with Olmo. There's Pedri, Fermin and Gavi, all very good in AM/CM. If you buy Olmo, do you play him as an am? If you do that, then one of Fermin, Pedri, Gabi needs to be sold.

As a winger, Olmo is meh. He's Ferran on the wings or should I say he's Felix/Coutinho/Grealish type.

Nico creates an imbalance for the opposition. As a RB, you can't move up with Nico on the pitch. I think we need him.

Put Olmo on the wing for Spain and it's pass pass with no dynamism. Unless you want him in the middle then okay. He's also injury prone and we have enough of those. Dejong, Pedri, Fati, Araujo etc.

My submission is that we need a wing specialist and Olomo isn't a specialist even though he's good. It's about profile!

When it mattered the most....

Anointed by Dinho, washed by....

Canada 🤝 France

Sportsweb:
This is funny if true.


Are you surprised That there was no Arsenal player in Argentina when they won the World Cup?

Are you surprised that there was No Arsenal player in Italy when they won the Euros?

Are you surprised that there was no Arsenal player in Argentina when they won the Copa America ?

Now let me shock you, there was also no Arsenal player in France when they last won the World Cup

you can take them away from Arsenal but you can't take Arsenal away from them

.

Trevor012:
Workings full everywhere. EUROS nor be your mate 😂😂

But I agreed with you nah...Mbape was right! 👍👍 😂

Mbape was right. Euros is far harder than the world cup.

From Theleyqute himself

Twale Ogah mi!!!

andrewbaba44:
Normally adeyemi na fine player ,I wonder what happened to him recently ,man didn’t even make Germany squad

It depends on what you mean by fine player though. I always wanted to like Adeyemi but whenever I watch him, it's always as if I'm watching Theo Walcott but without the finishing of the former England international.

Ade runs faster than the ball, doesn't look up when it's time to make a pass. On occasions, he makes Dembele/Bolasie/Maximin useful. If he's to catch up with his talent then he needs to immensely improve on all front asap!

andrewbaba44:
James is just still 32

Both James Rodriguez and lautaro have been copa America best players so far

Lautturo keh, lol.

James is very clear of everyone in this tournament. Notable mentions are Lisnadro Martinez, Luis Diaz, Araujo(winger) and Emi Martinez.

Lautturo is better as a sub, as a starter he's just not that good. That boy is too inconsistent for his age. I know he's on 3 goals or so but he's not playing well like that. His overall game especially in this tourney is inconsistent.

Jodera:
Saka wasn't an established PK taker of arsenal then when he missed against Italy. Since then he's taken 14 more official PKs and missed only one (against West Ham).

I was just hoping for Penalties. Nothing sure me pass am I swear, especially seeing who Southgate was putting in

Actually like I said yesterday, my hate watch is over and anyone can win it including England!

Jodera:
Saw this late but I was so certain Sommer is catching nada from England players.

Saka.... Confirmed pk taker
Palmer ... Confirmed pk taker
Toney... Confirmed pk taker
Bellingham... Confirmed pk taker
Rice... Confirmed pk taker
Arnold... Confirmed pk taker

These are 6 people I was so certain will play cos they're doing it for their clubs consistently and hardly missing from the spot.

Lol, I wasn't sure of Pickford but I was damn sure of these 6 takers

I was wrong then but Saka missed last time sha

raumdeuter:
England wins

Oliverano you see wetin I talk about having clubside shooters.

You were spot on!

They match on....

WhoDeyHause:
Pickford is also good on pks but it's anybody's game that's why I want my boys to finish the job now.

True sha, let's see...

raumdeuter:
Saka Palmer Kane are penalty takers for their clubs
That should give them advantage

Penalty shootout no be by that one ooo. It's about mental toughness. You can see with Barcola and Kounde yesterday. Both never took a single pen at professional level but their penalty were truly something.


I think if it gets to PK, Sommer will save one or two, Pickford I'm not so sure.

Perfectly poised for that last minute goal from world best

raumdeuter:
Which of them

How many world best you know...

World best to assist or score soonest...

Almiron:
Lamine Yamal when the last time Ronaldo won a international trophy:

My guy!!!!

Almirion as I see this thread I know say nah you create am.

Oya manage this 😜

Zonefree:
France is yet to score a goal in open play so far in this tournament yet they're semi finalist.

Na this kind grace I need in my life right now.

They've conceded a grand total of 1 goal the whole tournament. They have a very solid defence though...

afrodoc2:
Skill-less players. Skill-less players everywhere.

Everywhere?
With the turn of Zinendin Zidane and the overhead kick of the legendary Zagallo, I think the tournament is loaded with skillful players.

patrickmuf:
Bellingham is not in the conversation for player of the tournament as of now.

As of today yes, I agree.

Hypothetically, A man of the match today with a tap in and another overhead kick goal in the final and recency bias will spin the award in his favour.

andrewbaba44:
I just say make I inform you say runner up Dey collect player of the tournament sha

Saliba is good but I don’t think anybody in France deserves to win it

For England ,let me see how today game will turn out

Yeah I know but considering how drab the tournament has been, I think the player of the tournament will come from the winning team as a compensation for being the key player.

Aside Spain and Switzerland, the tournament no follow!

patrickmuf:
Saliba/Kante for player of the tournament if France wins it. Gakpo is also in the running.

If France wins it, Saliba/Kante
If Spain wins it, Fabian/Rodri
If Orange wins it, Gakpo
If England wins it, world best.
If Switzerland wins it, Xhaka.
