How many countries in Africa can boast of these facilities?

See sense of Reasoning for Goodness Sake? Seem some Dudes ain't ready to grow up. They are rather too emotional and Perhaps behaving like Kids.

What's the essence of a Thread if Everyone is always on the same Page?! Do we wanna turn the Thread to a Mango Park?! Simply to visit, enjoy some playful Moments and zoom off?!

Some Dudes need to spend few Days on the European Football Section to understand how matured Men reason and engage in Discourse.

I repeat once again, no one is hating on anyone, hence I advise the so called Core-Members to stop bullying and pissing off People from this Thread.

What do they stand to gain from bullying?! To gain cheap Likes from Bird of a Feather?! Everyone happy when our Boys did or doing Great.

Chuks is developing well as a Footballer, and its gonna be Joy for Everybody if he becomes a hotcake in the football World. This is exactly what the Monikers tagged as Haters are hoping for.

If you want us to be engaging in Praise and Worship only, then the Thread will lose its Value. Chuks and Wif are making us proud, Iwobi ain't doing bad but must buckle up.

Success had many Chances, you kept reading on here that he's a Beast without poaching or churning out Goals. What's the Duty of a Striker? Beasting?! Guess we saw the last Watford Match?!

We keep saying Leicester style of Play ain't compatible with Nacho's style of Play?! Then what makes him a Professional?! CR7 is banging Goals in Serie A, how come he's compatible with Juventus style of Play?! The same Juve Higuain failed to shine?!

Someone woke up early Morning to diss and curse Fellows for having contrary Views..... And you are wondering why Nigeria is in shambles?!

Category1:
Believe me if Messi and Suarez keep doing this, they should both consider leaving our club, so we can start up a new era.
Enough of this!
I hate racism
I hate their useless friendship..
This thing is ruining the team...
That useless viper Suarez, God will still punish that idiot for me...
And as for Messi, I'm already having little hatred in where that dude is now. Whenever I see his stats, I dont usually fall for it or hail HIM anymore because of this rubbish he and Suarez are doing now...

If they keep ON doing this and valverde doesn't do anything about this , THEY SHOULD BOTH LEAVE MY AND YES I'M SAYING THIS WITH A OPEN MIND.... I DON'T CARE! ....

THIS SITUATION IS REALLY MAKING ME ANGRY...
they just trying to make that young guy start feeling bad and it's not supposed to be. They should always help Him and the only person doing that is Vidal.

IKON360:
Exactly, Guardiola's teams since Barca have lacked the magic of Messi. His Bayern team was damn awesome but he was knocked out by a very resolute Ath Madrid that just scored and defended with demonic intent.
His other knock out was by the BBC at the summit of their powers under Ancelotti, Guardiola said his team played against Athletes not footballers and it was true, the pace of Bale, the wizardry of Di Maria and Benzema just pulling defenders out of shape and Ronaldo being Ronaldo. Messi in those teams would have easily eliminated either Ath Madrid or R. madrid. So that's why I'd dare say Messi was the deciding factor. And maybe Iniesta too

Adiwana:
Cules,am I the only one that is not feeling pep in a new club such as Bayern Munich and Man City .I mean there's a very huge difference between Pep of Barca and current Pep


At Barca he struggled with the No9 system and unleashed terror on teams with Messi at False 9.So seeing him doing "well" with Lewandonski and Aguero made me to realise Pep's will never win Champions league again unless he goes back to his system which is the false 9 and heavy possession system and maybe tweaking it with his current flare.Hes a coach that survives heavily on possession and he barely dominates possession against a determined team.

At Barca,only but a few games did teams go toe to toe with us.We completely outclassed teams from 0 minute to final whistle.Infact most of our losses came via Away Goals in the champions league in which teams had to score and had to be defensively disciplined like interested and Chelsea.But now,any team that matches him toe to toe will win him as he goes completely clueless on what to do and this has been seen in his champions league games away since he left Barca

Many will say because he had Messi,but we can't also forget how he made Villa,Pedro and Busquets the beasts they were.Now players from Academy barely bring out that potential under him.I remember how he played Yaya,Sylvinho in their unnatural positions in Rome in 2009,how he played a very inexperienced Busquet and how he made Manchester United play only 10mins in that final.We were hit with Injuries and suspensions for that game but we completely nullified a high flying Manchester United with Cristano and van der Saar.

He's gone to a team with experience in Bayern,has struggled in the champions league and once he gets to quarterfinals with this City team,he will be knocked out.Sorry to say but I don't see Pep's doing any wonders in the near future.


I brought this up because I was just watching highlight of World Club Cup final against Santos on youtube that had Neymar and remembered watching how we tore that team apart with Pep and honestly ever see he left Barca,i have not seen that kind of football from him

Joebie:
Please u missed a pick.
#9 should be #10
#10 should be #11

tesppidd:
I do not understand how the hell joining Juventus and dominating the serie A becomes a new challenge.
A team which is going for its 7th consecutive title.

But they say it's the champions league that he's after, yet for every goal or assist he makes against crotone or empoli, they call him the greatest of all time proving himself in Italy!
For every flick he does against cagliari they call him the greatest of all time.



He would still be at Real Madrid today if Perez had bent over and taken it in the asss from him, accepting his demands.
But Perez called his bluff and sold him, and Ronaldo converted it into "his new challenge "

What I hate is hypocrisy or dishonesty.

There is no such thing like a challenge in football or sports in general.
Sportsmen are majorly mercenaries.

They work for 2 reasons;

1. Money.
2. Success/ Trophies.

Messi is living like a king in Barcelona.
He lives the weather, his family love the Spanish culture, which has got similarities with the South American culture.
He is pampered and adored at the club, and his salary? Barcelona are willing to give Messi a blank cheque if he desires.

Only an iidiot would dare suggest that Messi has to leave FC barcelona on nothing else but a "prove himself" mission or a "new challenge"

No club in the world would be an upgrade to Messi.


*Ronaldo left Manchester United for Real Madrid cus he wanted an upgrade NOT NOT NOT for no fuckiing challenge.

*Ronaldo again left Real Madrid for Juventus because Real Madrid and particularly Flo Perez dumped his asss NOT NOT NOT for no fuckiing challenge.

Ronaldo has never moved to a club because of any "new challenges" crap.

Madrid is bigger than Man U and gave him much more money!
Juve was the only option after Perez dumped him.

Lol, it's just like barca treating Messi like shiit and agreeing to sell him, he then negotiates a deal with Man City, and then his people begin to tell us that he left Barca because he wanted a new challenge.
Who's gonna play the yuletude m0r0n tonight? Surely not me!


Whish kain wahala be this?
Challenge na by force??

Only people with something to prove speak about challenges.

Messi has got absolutely nothing to prove.

Melvyn11:
oga he is joint top scorer in serie a and on course to win golden boot in three different leagues unlike messy. See barca fans talkin about ucl, Messi has been irrelevant in d champions league since 2015.

Melvyn11:
Shut up. Cristiano Ronaldo went to a club that hasn't won champions league since 20 yrs from a club that won 3 UCLs in last 3 seasons. It takes balls to come out of your comfort zone and still perform at the elite level. Something your dwarf can never do

iconize:
Cannavaro not good as Thiago Silva? Which present defenders can match the audacity of the likes of Nesta, Lillian Thuram and the rest of them?

odizeey:
na e you no sabi wetyn dem do messi 2006 for corner area

odizeey:
you never dey watch ball to know wetyn dem do am.
Zizou would have won 2006 if he did not head butt d Italian. Rinaldo de lima won world best very young even till 2002 which ripe u con dey talk. Who no strong no strong.

odizeey:
cannavaro won world best not balon d or.
I no sure say u watch that era. They had d best defenders. If those type of defenders were still around dem messi n ororo for dey stay sideline for weeks. Messi will never forget what Ashley Cole n co did to him against chelsea.
That era was star studded. Leave story.
Why robben no win am for that era, xavi n iniesta were practically unknown then. Leave story

Ikem11:
Do you know soccer rating is Based on competition? How many great players play in time of Messi? Only cr7. Compare to when Ronaldinho. Kaka, iniasta, Zidane and many was counting head to head at once... Very confusing to know who is top.... But Messi time it's easy to pick Messi cos no other player makes magic in his time of play

BascoVanVeli:
The hype is not coming from us here in naija, it is coming from Spain. We didn't name him Samu they did. We didn't call him one of the brightest talents in La Liga, they did. So if u have a problem with that take it up with the folks at the best league in the world. I would think they know a thing or two about talent over there.

His flaws outweigh his positives on an 80%:20% ratio. The guy even always looks surprised whenever the team play well.
