Lol, are you so into Messi that you do not realize AndSunGorilla's sarcasm despite your years on this thread? Not everyone is into hero worship as you think. If you your assessment of every post about Messi is through a pro vs anti Messi lens, then be ready to be taken on more rides like this. A reminder, football existed before Messi and Ronaldo and will continue to exist long after they are gone
Who is this one again? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Where did you crawl out from and why are you trying to restart a conversation that has already been settled?

Imagine Fabregas of yesterday is now a coach, how the world move so fast that if you don't put on your seat belt you will be left behind.
And we now understand why Thiago Alcantara went to Liverpool. He went to study Jurgen Klopp's pressing and high intensity tactics and he likely got.

Expect fireworks from Thiago Alcantara soon.

You heard it here first.

Only God knows what really happened with Tuchel. I hope he is sacked and my respect for him is gone.

Imagine no Foden, Palmer or Arnold.

We did it at Inter Miami.
What baffles me more is that the MLS is a known retirement league and all the big stars declined after moving there, Busquets, Suarez, Gerard, Lampard, zlatan, Henry, Beckham. Son but not Messi even after over 3 years there.

Fabregas is even good. It is Thiago Alcantara that is the shocking one. He is now a brilliant tactical master. He fully soaked the knowledge of Guardiola and Hansi Flick
And Klopp

My friend Kazeem Eletu is Victor manager,fact Victor bear his surname Eletu..Eletu na Ilorin name.. I saw Victor last year before season started and we talked at length,had his training with local academy.

Initially Milan didn't want to renew his contract,he has lost hope but they changed their minds with planned to loan him out to Reggiana but it failed.

I wasn't surprised about the whole thing,my younger brother wasted his talent in Italy playing for low teams till he retired.... Churchill Oliseh took him and Obafemi Martins to Italy at the same time,signed for Reggiana and later moved to Venezia but failed to make it to seria A....Italy is not a good place for any young Nigeria players to start a career,better to move to all these mid European countries for good development,check out Akinsanmro too
no be the same Italy the likes of Martins, Obodo, Joel Obi, Obiora nwankwo, Nsofor, Akinsanmiro,Makinwa etc started their career?

Meet Tyrique George (born February 4, 2006) is a professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Everton, and he is eligible to play for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.

​Bio Summary:

​Born in Camden, London, England, to a Nigerian father and a Ghanaian mother, George joined the Chelsea youth academy in 2014. He progressed through the ranks of the Chelsea youth setup, making his senior debut for the club in August 2024.

​Following a successful period at Chelsea, George completed a permanent transfer to Premier League club Everton in July 2026. He is recognized for his versatility across the forward line, primarily operating as a left winger, though he is also capable of playing on the right or as a centre-forward.

​Standing 1.81 m (5'11"wink, George has been a consistent presence in English youth football, representing the nation at various levels from U-16 up to the U-21 squad.

While he has been a key part of England's youth international pathway, his heritage makes him eligible for international selection by both Nigeria and Ghana.

Aliyu Datti Mohammed left AC Milan after few appearances and moved to Belgium where he didn’t really hv a spectacular career

Makinwa played for Atalanta and Lazio for many seasons in Serie A,

Obodo starred for perugia, Udinese,Fiorentina and Lecce, all in Serie A

Nsofor played for Chievo Verona and Inter Milan in Serie A

Joel obi played for inter Milan, Torino and Salernitana in Serie A

Obiora Nwankwo played for Inter Milan in Serie A and couple of Serie B clubs before moving to Romania and later Portugal

Bros at the end everything na luck and destiny

Eletu is talented but I believe 2 things worked against him at Milan which are bad injury history and lack of physicality

Also I do not think he has a good agent/manager because I wonder why he stayed too long in primavera football up to the age of 21. If he had a good management team who noticed on time that he had no future in Milan why not take him to lesser competitive but developmental leagues like in the Scandinavia region, Belgium,Netherlands or the Balkans like Croatia,Czech,Serbia etc

On Nwaiwu nothing new, the last info was that he has agreed personal terms with Fulham and that the English club are close to agreeing with trapzonspor

Let the Spanish coach do his own sabotage come Sunday, we are waiting.

On the serious note,Saka and Rushford shouldn't be sitting on the bench,I have said it before,especially Saka.
The coach is a Spanish. I doubt he will Sabotage Spain.

What people don't understand is that Messi is of European descent. Italian to be precise though with Spanish heritage.

That I think is the reason some Europeans wants him to succeed and overtake Pele and Maradona.

When Egypt was leading Argentina, the Egyptians kept attacking to score more goals but paid dearly for it, people blamed Egypt for not defending the goals.

Fast forward to yesterday, England did the opposite and still paid dearly for it, now people are saying "why not keep attacking"?

There's nothing someone on the losing side would have done that people won't find faults in.

It's just how the world is designed.

Even in our daily lives, people perceived not to have made it are automatically blamed for being a failure irrespective of what they might have done.
Egypt defended in the last 5 minutes or so. Go and watch the match again.

Pedigree no longer win matches, it's what you're able to do within 120 mins and also who you are playing against.

Argentina had the mentality of warriors. They're doing it for Messi and Messi played like someone who was ready to die yesterday.

Maybe if England actually came out to attack, the goals would have been much more against them.

Let's understand one thing, whatever we are saying are just assumptions. There's nothing that shows that if they had attacked like Egypt did, they would have won.

Football is not mathematics.. especially in this dispensation.
England left their best players on the bench. Did Argentina do that?

That coach must be investigated for match fixing.

The coach even removed Stone, Rice and Reece. What were you expecting?
