As you dey even compare him to Dinho, just because humiility is making Dinho give him his flowers, shows you shouldnt be taking seriously.

Ask messi today, I am sure he will gove Mikel his flowers always. But that doesnt put Mukel among football greats. Okocha is not among African greats. He was only popular for his dribbling master class. He doesnt create chances..he isnt goal hungry. He onlybstarted scoring in the twilight of his career at bolton...qhich was already late.

All the pcreazione? mentioned with okocha are diffrenece makers on the pitch. Okocha made his own difference through dribbles completed. Na dribbling we go chop? What happened to vision for through passes and goal chance creation?

Say what now

Kudos for making the point.

Ronaldo hadn’t won any league at Sporting Lisbon before Man Utd sought out Ronaldo - and that’s the point.

They discovered the talent, they polished the talent and Ronaldo started winning(excellent choices + required talent + work ethic).

Messi was only 13 when Barcelona scouts asked for his signature. He had won nothing professionally but they saw the talent. They groomed the talent and he won a billion trophies for them.

The talent & the success are two different entities.

If Ronaldo didnt succeed no one will say he had any talent. Imagine he turned out like Bebe. Who would be talking about him using the world talent

Illimitable:
Alex Ferguson signed Bebe/Djemba-Djemba
Arsene Wenger signed Francis Jeffers/Pascal Cygan
Mourinho signed Papy Djilobodji/Christian Atsu
Guardiola signed Keirrison/Chygrynskiy

Which of these players is better than Okocha?

Top clubs/Elite managers often sign low level talents.

All these top coaches and clubs that signed those scrubs saw Okocha good enough to even sign

Chelsea are going for xhaka?

Smh

Kudos to Colombia. They massively outplayed Portugal and should have won the game if not for some useless & poor decision from the VAR.

I don't know the last time Portugal won South American team in a FIFA tournament.
I still remember how Chile knocked out Portugal in FIFA Confederation Cup

Apart from France, there's no European team that can match Colombia in this current edition. Even Spain wey dey play ajebutter football go collect if dem jam Colombia right now. People dont understand how tough South American football is.

Unlimited22:
Proper match fixing

From the farce in Iran’s game to this nonsense


My only happiness na say e benefit Senegal

What made it a match fixing?

You don come with this mentallity of viewing center boys.

Were they scoring own goals...or defenders were running away from attackers?

The goals were well worked and legit. So what made it a match fixing?

Now you see my point, they just don't want Iran to qualify
First they disallowed very legit goal and by h2h they should be ahead of Senegal because they didn't lose any match, Senegal lost 2
America shouldn't be allowed to host any football tournament again

I surprise say 35 years old James Rodriguez dey ball pass the whole Portuguese midfield. Vitinha, Neves & Bruno no see ball play. Even France too e go be 50-50.

Body go don weak Trevor012, the last man standing Ronaldo fan here

Oh and even izzou

Win Columbia with Bruno Fernandes?

Hope you saw the stinker the fraud dropped. No team can be successful with Fraudnandes in midfield. He's a liability like no other.

Why body go weak me.


We march on, at least now Martinez will do the necessary adjustments for the next round and drop some frauds from the starting line up. Colombia should have scored at least 3, very fast and direct team while Portugal midfield is making back and sideways passes with no urgency.

I am even glad we are facing European teams from now on where it's technical football more than gra gra and heavy physicality. These Portugal midfielders are ajebutters. Those European nations facing African teams go hear am under the heat

Ladies and gentlemen, Chelsea starting WINGER

Bruno was bad we agree. Did you see vitinha stinker?

Your Ronaldo was the worst player on the pitch

That's if you watched back of television. What can a striker do with a useless attacking midfielder like Fernandes stinking up everywhere creating nothing while the midfield passes backwards and sideways plus having a useless winger like Neto. Put Olise and Doue/Barcola In this team and Ronaldo will score Hatrick every game.

Vitinha was better than Fernandes yesterday by a country mile.

Naaa

Portugal will win croatia

This is not croatia of last Wc or 2018

Congratulations to DRC and Algeria

Senegal is the only 3 pointer team to make it among the 3rd place sides

All African teams delivered what they needed to qualify coming into the final fixtures

Austria scored a last minute goal that saw them face Spain instead of Switzerland

Croatia late goal saw them face Portugal instead of Colombia

Godx:
Is this how Vitinha playa on a normal? Guy slows the game down way too much and can't make a forward pass.

Yes that's how he plays.

Luiz Enrique should be praised for whatever hype he is getting.

afrodoc:
Roberto Martinez is the real MVP.

He changed Vitinha and Joao Neves to Etebo and Ojigwe.

drisham:
Portugal are really solid defensively


The veiga guy is a tank

The same Veiga Maresca bombed while shouting for LCB

Stop yarning ignorance

Iran goal was offside cos 2 players must be behind the attacker and the goalkeeper was not, only the defender was.

H2H only applies to teams in the same group

Iran is legitimately out.

Sportsweb:
They told me Vitinha was the best Midfielder

In the land of the blind,one eye man is usually the king.
