Back to this though. I didn't wanna bring it up last night and I absolutely adore KDB as a player and have high regard for his talents but was he really supposed to be MOTM yesterday?

I personally think Camavinga and Vinicius Jr had better games than KDB.

KDB delivered the least accurate passes among all midfielders yesterday even (barely above 20 passes). Quite a rare occurrence but it happened.

TheSuperNerd:
MOTM tonight in Real Madrid vs Man City Semis first leg.

Note:
Thierry Henry was KDB's coach at the Belgian National team for some years so he would be biased but he wasn't. Same Henry calls KDB the player with the best brain he has seen play the game and Henry played with Messi and Zidane oooo.

So if such a guy like Henry says KDB was not MOTM yesterday, then he is being f**king honest about it. What is there to argue again? Even I saw the game and know KDB was not MOTM.

I am not arguing who was man of the match. I just pointed out that sofascore which is your most referenced site said he was the best.

That means not so much. KDB did not operate on his best levels, so I don't care if he got that award. As long as KDB played well, it is fine by me.

Just pointing out another set statistically thought De Bruyne was the best.

We don't know the yard stick the went by.

Some thought camavinga was the best but both whoscored and sofascore thought otherwise.

We need to understand the preference in stat and know what they worked with. No need getting worked over.

And others can here Henry ranked de Bruyne when it comes to thinking ahead on the get ahead of Xavi, Iniesta, and Zidane. These are guys he played with.

Re: "The Super Eagles Thread: The Road To AFCON 2027, 2028 And 2030 World Cup by TheSuperNerd(m): 2:37pm On May 10, 2023

Okay, don't try to pin something which isn't true to deviate from the main point. Sofascore isn't my most referenced site. Every time I drop Stats reports I draw it from a combination of different stats sites like Whoscored, Sofascore, Fotmob, Squawka and any other. It's not always and only sofascore. Sofascore don't even cover recovery Stats.

And when I drop Naija player ratings across leagues, I reference only those that indeed cover ratings like Sofascore and Whoscored. For example, Whoscored don't cover ratings concerning the La Liga Smartbank but Sofascore does, same with Fotmob.

Now, the Main Crux...

You say you aren't arguing MOTM but you went ahead to drop Sofascore's ratings of KDB as the MOTM. We both know why you did that.

Also, why talking about Camavinga not being picked as MOTM by Whoscored and Sofascore?
Fotmob picked him. So also did Squawka jointly.

KDB wasn't picked by Whoscored, Fotmob, Squawka and the CBS guys.

Rather you should be speaking of Vinicius Jr who was picked as MOTM by Whoscored, Squawka (jointly) and the CBS Sports studio (they all agreed it was Vini Jr while mentioning Cama honorably).

And I am not the one getting worked over this here, it is clearly you because you are trying persistently to subtly defend KDB's MOTM from yesterday when clearly more than 3 of the evidences presented doesn't support that stance.

Referencing Sofascore which is known for bloating up certain ratings of "popular name" players, while dumbing down others to make a certain player look good in a game context, as your only anchor in this is not cogent enough.

TheGoodJoe, being a Man City fan should not close you to clear evidence staring you in the face on who had the better game yesterday.

On Zidane, you can nod yes when I say he didn't have a better France 98 than few French players but you won't accept that KDB was clearly not the MOTM from yesterday even when that is bloody obvious. Na wa.

TheGoodJoe:

I am not arguing who was man of the match. I just pointed out that sofascore which is your most referenced site said he was the best.

A lady was celebrating on Facebook the other day that a tree was struck by lightning in her village. According to her, this tree was responsible for the economic stagnation of her family for generations.

I was shocked because the lady in question studied abroad for her First degree and Masters and is currently based in the U.S.

With all her exposure and education, she still reasons like a primitive cave man. How will Africa progress?

In modern first world 🌍 countries we exercise the mind and intellect with education.

Furthermore, we exercise the body, with physical exercise controlled nutrition and diet.

But we completely ignore and deny the spiritual, we even deny it's existence. Because you lack knowledge and understanding.

I would advise you not to dismiss and or cast aspersions on things YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

You are not wise and I had nothing to do with race and heritage.

I watched only the first half. KDB only touched the ball 4 times in the first half. Twice before his goal and one was a corner kick. Yes he scored the equalizer but he lacks that Wow factor of a Super Star. He doesn't dominate important games. He is an effective player but won't be remembered as a great player. Comparing him to Zidane is disrespectful. He is not even on Modric level!
