Kingcalls:
Y are u guys soooo deluded... the first time that technique came thru was Algeria vs Nigeria when onyekweru laid down to stop mayrez

Davidonkonsults:
Ronaldinho was not the first to do it. Rivaldo had done it before. Even then I can't confidently say Rivaldo invented because it's entirely possible he also copied something. There's nothing new in life anymore.

Kingcalls:
Ronaldo the Emperor is not a grass eater... messi just showed the world that his time of goat is the grass eating goat we called him

Mossadd:
and 2 goals and 1 assist was given to messi for scoring from outside the box while 0.5 was given to Ronaldo for scoring tap in,only God know wetin you fraudlona fans dey smoke

Franking:
Messi needs to prove himself at PSG.

He may be all that and more at Barca but he didn't exactly hit the ground running at PSG like Ronaldo did at Man United.

JohnnyPalmer:
You are the deluded one

You don't watch football, maybe you only read back of sport pages

So Onyekaru invented it

If you've been watching la liga games not just el-clásico you will know Onyekaru didn't invent shit, he copied it

Now let me give you free education this morning, I've done my research, attached are some images to prove it

It started in 2013 in Brazilian leagues to prevent Ronaldinho from scoring
On the international scene, it first came to light in 2016 by marcelo to prevent Messi from scoring
In Europe top 5 leagues, it was also to prevent Messi from scoring in 2018
One by Sevilla and the other by brozovic of intermillan

Nigerian vs Algeria... Nations cup game was in 2019

So get your facts right

It was invented to prevent the King of Free kick goals from scoring
Still not enough though

Since you don't watch football or you watch back of TV lemme add another invention that was invented to prevent Messi from scoring freekicks, 3 man manning the goal post, Goal keeper in the middle with two outfield players manning both left and right goal post

Know that today before you come tomorrow and start talking nonsense

OJEEMAH:
This can't be more accurate than Skysports.

TheOgaBoss:
but u just contradicted urself, u said it was first used in Brazilian league to stop Ronaldo, so how can a technique that was already used in Brazil be invented to stop messi in Europe?

OJEEMAH:
Abeg, na who swear for Ex Man U players with criticism?? If Scholes is not ranting, Ferdinand will be blabbing or Neville who was fired as Valencia manager in less than 6months will be justifying rubbish on sky sports. The rate at which they criticize serving players and coaches, one would think they won the world cup.
My point is, why is it peculiar to those that played for Man U especially the so called English guys?

I have never seen Terry, Lampard, Gerard, Joe Cole, Ashley Cole and Tony Adams doing such and even if they have, not as frequent as these ex man u guys.

Are they the only guys that played football? Madrid, Barcelona, AC Milan & Bayern get legends too nau!

OJEEMAH:
See this

unbitchable:
The old fraud has the most appearances in the Champions league more than any other footballer.

Messi beat the old fraud like a Maggi thief twice in the finals.


God Almighty, support Leo without being abusive. Jeez, who do us for Africa? The same Leo that if Nigeria burn today, won't even tweet about it? I support CR7, but same time, I respect Leo. We should know how to respect ourselves in public spaces. I imagine your age is 29yrs plus, and you're still talking like this?

constance500:
Stats still shows ororo is ahead... And one has been playing in farmers league all his life..

OJEEMAH:
Ahead despite playing 117 matches more with less than 10goals??

The bolded speaks volume about your knowledge of football.

JohnnyPalmer:
If your tapinaldo had eaten same grass, he wouldn't be knocked out of the Champions league by Porto

HuncleDee:
Oga height matters here, taller guys stay on the wall, while shorter ones... If they can't mark would make the sacrifice and lie on the floor. Cr7 did wat he was suppose to do on that fateful day.

JohnnyPalmer:
I agree with you, he did what he was supposed to do by allowing the ball go in

constance500:
If your goat moved to epl some years ago we would know his stats by now... From farmers league to farmers league..

OJEEMAH:
Get this fact....EPL is not the standard to measure brilliant players. If you still think its the standard, why don't you start by telling me how FIFA World Best & Balon D'or winner the overrated league has produced and how many UCL & Europa League they have won compare to la liga? You should even be ashamed to label a league Zidane, Maradona, Ronaldo De Lima, Ronaldinho, Rivaldo, Messi & Figo, once played a farmers league.

Messi's Performance against English Teams in UCL
Manchester United...4goals
Manchester City........7goals
Chelsea......................3goals
Arsenal.......................9goals
Liverpool....................2goals
Tottenham.................2goals
TOTAL....................27goals vs English Teams in 35 appearances!

If the best of best in the overrated EPL can't handle him, what do you think would happen to Burnley, Norwich, Brighton, Crystal palace and Newcastle??

I won't bother replying you next time cos your football knowledge is based by sentiment and not fact.

Au revoire!

HuncleDee:
Bros I'm not arguing on Messi/cr7, I'm only saying what is normally done in a close free kick situation. Maybe If juve had taken the initiative and place someone on the floor, everything would have worked out well

JohnnyPalmer:
The same ex-players turned pundits are the reason behind man United Mourinho sack

Mourinho was the last one to win them a trophy, finished 2nd in the league with a below average squad
Man said it ranks as one of his greatest achievements
in football

But they will never criticise Ole because he belongs to the old united boys club

constance500:
If you like write epistle till tomorrow, Cr7 remains the goat

tidalstorm:
They are pundits, do you expect them to talk for world peace? Controversial topics dey always attract people. Na why we hardly get good news in the media.

And yes, by the time Mourinho was sacked everybody knew it was time for him to move on.
He left man utd, not even a top 4 club with all the money he invested.
Bought old and mediocre players.
Fighting with the players and creating a toxic football club. Going against man utd values and playing sleepy football.
Mourinho was a bad coach for man united na why i go always rate Gourdiola above am.
Shebi the man career don finish, make we see wetin him go win again.

JohnnyPalmer:
It's not fair for you to say mourinho career has finished

Man is a legend in the game
I agree he comes with his own baggage too

And I'm a die hard guardiola fan

But still respect to whom it's due, man has earned it, he's got the reputation too

The pundits were unfair in their criticism towards him, it was a direct attack
And they are now hypocritical not extending same towards Ole cos he's one of them
That's the point..

Same Neville failed at coaching, if it was that easy they should also look into the mirror

JohnnyPalmer:
Neither did I bring up Messi in my reply

Ronaldo was blamed for the goal, he turned his back on the ball

All I'm saying is your criteria for height or not in as much as there is sense in it, there is no rule that says a player can't take one for the team

Tall guys lie down behind the wall too, mbappe did same after Messi,

It's all about taking one for the team
