So a nobody like Antonio Pizzi playing for Tenerife scored 31league goals just one year prior to Ronaldo scoring 34 yet somehow Mbappe would tear Acl to score similar numbers in that Era. It's all good bro.
How many 20 year-old players do you know today that scored 47 goals in one season.

Mention their names. You can go as far back as year 2000.

Godx:
Baba he didn't win a league title until he was 26. He only won two league titles and around five major club trophies throughout his entire career. Without his World Cup title and the performances that came with it his standing in football history would below that of Ronaldinho, Zidane and others. The foundation of his GOAT level reputation is overwhelmingly built on what he achieved and how he performed on the World Cup stage. How exactly is this controversial or even debatable.
Now you are acting childish.

Godx:
So we are seriously going to pretend like De Lima reputation and goated status is not built on his world cup performances.
Your original claim was that R9’s reputation hinged solely on his World Cup heroics, which is not only wrong but also criminal. It exposed your limited knowledge about him and football in general.

How is someone who won the Ballon d’Or (still holds the record as the youngest winner in history) not reputable in club football and in the world?

This is like Lamine Yamal winning the last ballon d’Or and following it up with the World Cup trophy in 2030. If someone 20 years later say his reputation is based majorly on the World Cup he won later and completely ignores his previous ballon dor performances in club football, won’t people gather and stone Godx to death?

This is a waste of time.

Only league champions qualified for UCL in that era.

If that same rule applies now, Arsenal will be playing CL for the first time in 22 years(next season).

30 years later, kids would go on the internet and type “Bukayo Saka is an awful player, he only has 3 goals in the CL.” grin cheesy
lol, I guess you don't even know your football well enough. R9 played most of his career in the normal 32-team UCL format. End of argument abeg😂.

Are you being funny or what? That Mbappe will tear acl to drop that number or what?
The same era in which unknown players were regularly putting up 31, 29 and 27 goals, yet we are supposed to believe Mbappe would tear his ACL to reach similar numbers. Some arguments simply aren't worth wasting your time on.

We are discussing 96/97.

Don’t jump into 1999.

He scored 49 goals in 96/97 and won Ballon d’Or.

Ronaldo was born in 1976. He was 20 in 96, he wasn’t 20 in 1999.

Try again. cheesy

At age 21 and before ever playing a single minute of world cup football, R9 had won 2 WPOTY, 1 Ballon d'Or and had broken the world transfer record 2 times.

His entire reputation was not built on the world cup. On the eve of the 1998 World Cup many fans and analysts already felt he was the best player the world had ever seen apart from Pele and Maradona.
E shock me.

R9 Nazarrio wey be hero for the hero of current football heroes.

Which of these players was 20 years of age?

At 20, CR7 scored 9 goals in 50 apps
At 20, LM10 scored 16 goals in 40 apps

Your best players in this era couldn’t clean R9’s boots at 20.

R9 dribbled a goalkeeper 88 times before scoring a goal. It’s like 1/4 of his career goals.

He didn’t just score goals, he humiliated his opponents.

Kylian who? cheesy grin

On the other side,he no go better for Dangote. If fuel prices does not reduce by next week,then that man doesn't have Nigeria interest at heart.

Cement high
Fuel high.
dangote no send Nigerians

He has used the 'na our brother own' card to pitch Nigerians against marketers and now that marketers are no more, baba don dey show una him true nature..

Lol

I never expected much from him ever since he started selling cement at a high price even tho the raw materials he is using is directly from nigeria

You are full of shit... So if R9 was Born in Panama, he would win the world cup too right
Illimitable:
Mbappe doesn’t beat R9 in anything.

Mbappe hasn’t even won the CL in this era and he’s already 27. Mbappe benefits from a nationality lottery of being born in France.

If he was born in Yaoundé, I doubt he would have played in any WC, let alone win one. The only reason you people rate Mbappe is because of his nationality - which is just a lottery.

Where a pregnant woman decides to have a baby boy should not determine greatness. I don’t really rate all these national team competitions. It’s a farce. The World Cup is almost 100 years of age and ONLY 8 countries have won it.

Long story short, you have to be born in a footballing powerhouse country to be able to win the World Cup. If Pele(as talented as he is) was born in India, he would never have gone to a World Cup, never mind winning one.

He won’t win a World Cup but he would still score 47 goals in 49 apps for Barcelona at the age of 20. His Brazilian nationality played no role in achieving that feat.

R9 didn’t even win the league in 96/97 neither did he win the CL - but the entire planet still awarded him with Ballon d’Or(the youngest ever winner).

He won it based on his skill in club football unlike your Mbappe who needed to be born in Paris to win the WC.

Do you see the difference?

The context of the Indomie is about the group that consumes it, and not about the age of the product.

Indomie is usually for children, so that's why any shade to someone who's young is usually categorized as "Indomie"
You are wrong Sir

The implication is of fast food of low quality that quickly goes soft just like their generation; unlike our generation who grew up with well curated and nutritious foods that developed our brains properly. It was around 1996 that Indomie started spreading while our generation ate better vegetable soups and solid food as children.

Na so

Even some the goal keepers and defenders of those days were mid

Players were spamming goals from outside the box

Defenders would afford attackers space to dribble you 100 times


Only few we rugged and it's was mostly unnecessary and dangerous tackles that the players gets sent off or carded for
The irony of this is that even if you afford some of the present players the same space the previous generation had,their shot wouldn't even pass the first player.

If it were about space been afforded,how come we don't have free kick specialist nowadays?

At least it is unchallenged,na your individual ability go speak.

Another brilliant example. He didn’t need a strong national team to prove himself at club level.

If Weah was born in France, he would have a WC or two.
