Sad. Less representation for Africa.

Out of the 5 representatives that went to 2018 WC, zero qualified for the next round ... I don’t think adding Djibouti or Ghana will make a difference

what is causing your depression is the L Poch gave to you.

I can't help you out of Pep's ass.

murder!!

Eruditor:
You are daft. Please I mean it with due respect. Bayern how many Semifinals have they made since Pep left? Before they won the UCL in 2013 what did they win 2 years before?

Salty rants when the records are there. The following year, RM chopped 5-0 and 2-0 then United got hidden 3-1 in the most one-sided UCL final in a long time. Keep yapping nonsense. Lower payroll team ko. Even that 2009/10 season Pep even beat Mou 2-0 and 1-0 in the 4 times they faced. They drew the other 0-0. If they played that game 10 times, Pep would have won 9 times. Ojoro was what helped Inter.

You are back with Pep’s phallus in your orifice abi??
Pep took over a Bayern team that won UCL and he could only achieve a semi final appearance and you call that progress??
Please stay away from this debate, you mentally incapacitated dönkey

Gr8amechi:
Facts doesn't pain me bro, but objectivity is the key.
Anyone who talks down someone as successful as pep or mou isn't deserved arguing facts with.
If you claim because he hasn't won the UCL then he is useless only shows how much you hate him and for your kind even if he wins the UCL, you would have something new to say

Goodness gracious, when the F did i say Pep was useless?? Why are you generating unnecessary drama bruh?? Someone made a bold statement that Pep was better than SAF ... to that I said let Pep win UCL with Man City first and then we can accept him as king ... and you instead go on this wild tangent
Abi, you de commot your frustration with Messi’s 0-4 thrashing at Anfield in me?? Abeg oh

Eruditor:
Your arguments are daft. Pep has 2 UCL titles and he played in the semi every year till he got to City. Mou signed players in his first season in inter and flopped. Then signed 7 more the year he won the UCL. It was also fluke-y. Barca deserved 2 penalties in the first leg and got cheated off a legit Borjan goal in the 2nd leg.

Pep always maintained that he came to EPL to dominate by playing his way, winning the UCL is prestigious but can never replace the role of league dominance. Zidane retired from RM and nobody rushed towards him because it is easier to win the UCL than a league title even though the UCL has more prestige.

City will go for the league and UCL next season. Have good excuses again when they win it. The rubbish about small teams is neither here nor there. If you win with small teams winning with big teams should be easier, no?

Bayern won UCL in 2013 without Pep and then he took over .... they never even made it to even the final and you are here celebrating their semi-final appearance in the Pep years ... what an embarrassment!
As to all those daft arguments you made about Barca/Borjan - they are simply just salty rants because you cannot come to terms with losing to a lower payroll team like Inter/Roma/Liverpool.
You also said that it is easier to win UCL than the league ... I know that is what you Barca fans will be saying after Messi and co chopped 3-0 last year and 4-0 this year

Gr8amechi:
All you smell is hatred and it wouldn't help you.
Inter has won the seria A for 4 Times before mou took over as coach do you call that a small team?
Mou has managed Madrid and man u and Chelsea who had big pay roll and money did he win the UCL with either of those teams??
You can say all you want, hate all you like but pep released over 11 players after his first season, he inherited a team that finished 4th in epl not just won the epl then finished 4th same point with united in 5th position only better with goal difference mind the impact pep has brought

Why is is when I state facts you call it hate?
Reason objectively not emotionally.
Mou won UCL with smaller payroll teams like Inter and Porto and so he does not need to prove himself anymore. That said, I would agree that Pep is currently better than Mou. What is certain is that Pep has NOT won any UCLs with any of the big money teams he has managed in the last 6 years ... sorry if facts pain you but I am just merely stating them. Tell your king to win a UCL before I too start to hail him.

Gr8amechi:
You mentioned just mahrez and sane is football team made up of attackers only??
City has gone through two seasons without a known left back, in the midfield once fernadinho is injured city has not replacement.
Stop hatred towards Pep, sir Alex was in united for over 20 years but won the UCL just twice, pep has been a coach for 10 years and has won it twice.
Zindane came back to Madrid and Madrid poor torn continued, this shows you that winning is about team, zindane won the UCL 3 times but never won a treble.
Zindane came into a ripe Madrid team.
Now let me school you on pep problem with Bayern.
Before you hurry and say trash you must remember that before that year Bayern won a treble Dortmund had won the league back to back, they had lost to Chelsea in final of UCL and had two previous disappointments.
When pep took over each of the 3 seasons their best players robben and Ribery were always injured at the knock out stages of the UCL.
Do you think zindane would win the UCL if Ronaldo and Ramos were to be injured in the semis always??
Bayern was an aging team and the board refused to change them, they refused to invest its now that they almost lost the league that they want to buy sane and Nicolas pepe

Pep inherited a team that was already stacked with talent ... they had already won the EPL before Pep ... what has he done that is special?? Won UCL??
Mou won UCL with smaller payroll teams like Porto and Inter. Your Pep has the largest payroll teams in their leagues Bayern and Man C and has won ZERO UCLs and you want me to be calling him the greatest??
Please come back here when Pep wins a UCL with Man C.

Gr8amechi:
Like I said you are no city fan so you don't know.
City played a full squad in all cups except the one they have won already.
The first leg in UCL against spurs pep had to rest key players to play palace showing you what was more important for the club.
City has never in their history done a back to back title win so they needed it badly, you can win the UCL next season but if you miss the back2back epl this season you need another 2 seasons to do that

Yeah ... when you have players like Mahrez & Sane sitting on the bench in City it shows how much stacked in talent they are and how much in denial you can be in accepting reality the City rotates a squad.
With all this money/talent Pep has still not won a UCL with either Bayern or Man C but y’all want us to crown him as the best? He’s close ... let him win UCL with City first.

PopeFlatino:
Guy this is becoming childish of u, speaking like ur d God that gives trophy or like Nation's tournament is a seasonal stuff...Barca has just 1 UCL before Messi's debut but has went on to add more with his name on the roster,Barca suffered league trophy drought of 5 years before him but
It's becoming a culture yearly for him..as for Argentina,he has left his mark as an individual,let the euro Portugal won With Cr7 on bench not enter ur head..why am I even arguing with u on a Sunday

Ha ha .... “individual achievement” ... that is the most asinine argument I have ever heard. Only, Messi fan girls who dream of Messi all night will come up with rubbish like that
Messi does great in Barca which already has a great system. Put Messi in one of the most talented national teams in South America and the short fool cannot even win Copa America .... but you will be celebrating his “individual goals against Iran & Nigeria”
you are arguing with me on a Sunday because I have offended your feelings towards your short soccer god

PopeFlatino:
Go and ask him bro

i don’t need to ... Maradona already said it ... even his compadre diego simeone said it. Only Messi fan girls are still in deep delusion!

PopeFlatino:
Believe it or not..Messi has done more at 31 than any of ur favorite has done at 34 or even after retirement..relax and pray he looses d next balling d'or otherwise na high BP fit kill u..ur talking like a 13 year old,Why?

Yes, Messi does a lot for Barca but put him in Argentina ... and you are still crying salty salty tears

Gr8amechi:
Are you the owner of city??
Stop fooling yourself, pep has done well for himself and the team.
City chairman has granted open statement in pep first season when he didn't win anything and made it clear that pep was brought to create a brand of football with city.
Yes city want to win the UCL but they didn't go to high pep and tell him all you have to do is win the UCL, that's easier to do than the domestic treble.
Pep can rest all his players and play just UCL and he will win it, just like Liverpool rest players in English cup games and kept only momentum in epl and UCL but city has a long way so every single trophy matters.
Chelsea won the UCL in 2012 but has never been in the semis again, that's not the kind of success city want.
City brought pep to create his own dynasty and upset the current once said yes he will win the UCL but will take time, no team wins the UCL just so easily even before Madrid won it back to back it took a project that started since 2009 but the first time they won it was 2014 that 5 years later, pep was brought in to create a formidable side and they will win the UCL

Man C also rested players for other cups. They put their best players for EPL/UCL competitions. If you think Qatari owners top ambition is not to win UCL then you are deluded. Pep has failed to deliver it so far. Pep took over a Bayern team that just won UCL in 2013. When Pep was there, they could not even make it to a UCL final talk less of winning it / 2014,15 & 16.

maxwell530:
bro, did Chelsea brought mou twice to be winning only epl? Did man Utd brought mourinho to be fighting for Top 4 after spending almost 500m in 2 and half years?
This 2 managers are great managers but they all have their flaws too... There was a time mourinho had the best and most expensive squad in the World at Madrid, I could remember he had two balon dOr winners (kaka and Ronaldo) but he couldn't get Madrid to the ucl Final. The fact that mourinho couldn't make ucl final with squad that consist of Casillas, Ramos, Pepe, Ozil,xabi Alonso, Kaka, khedira,,Lasana Diara, Di Maria, Robben, C. Ronaldo, Higuain is a big statement. Carlo Ancelotti came immediately after mourinho was sacked to win ucl for Madrid (what mourinho couldn't do) with a less quality squad.This should tell you that best squad sometimes don't guarantee you will always win all.
Mourinho is Chelsea greatest coach in history but funny enough,all the European trophies they have was won by managers that can't even lace mourinho boots.
Arsenal wenger spent 20 years at arsenal and couldn't win any European competition but should we conclude Emery is better if Arsenal eventually win Europa this year?
Carlo ancelotti have won 3 ucl with 2 different clubs and have won the league titles in 4 different countries across Europe yet he's still trailing mourinho and pep.
Mourinho was also brought to win title for man Utd but he couldn't win it after 3 attempts, if someone like Solskjaer win title with man Utd in the future, should we now say he's better than mourinho?
I won't be surprised if another manager come to City to win ucl for them in the future but what will surprise me is someone later believe the manager that won it is better than pep that couldn't.
Forget "pep can only survive with money" talk that's flowing around, both mourinho and pep are known to be spenders Infact mourinho is the First manager in history to spend over 1billion pounds on transfer. And besides this man city spending doesn't have anything to do with guardiola cuz they have been spending since 2008 when this Arab guys took over. There was a time in 2008 when they brought Robinho from Milan. Remember when they brought Mario Balotelli, David Silva, Yaya Toure in a single transfer window in 2010? They even later went on to buy Sergio Aguero and samir nasri in the next season transfer window. There was a time they wanted to buy Messi before Guardiola arrival. They are bound to spend regardless of whoever is the manager.

Choose anyone you like among this 2 managers and enjoy football...personally I love mourinho because of his "win at all cost" formula which won him everything and conquered Europe for over a decade but I will prefer to have pep in my team because of his modernized beautiful Style of play which arguably conquered the World, Barcelona winning treble in 2011 and Spain winning world Cup in 2010 with 7 Barcelona players in the starting 11 is no coincidence, it's a prove that tiki taka ruled the world to some extent and city defending their title plus winning the domestic double for the first time in their history also shows it can also work in a league as rugged and competitive as Epl.

Am a confirmed Chelsea fan o before anybody labelled me "Barça fanboy"

Ok - since you has a long write up I will let you side with some of your flawed reasoning.
However, here are some points to note:
1) Mou won UCL with a small payroll team like Porto and to an extent Inter. Pep has never achieved that.
2) Barca won the treble after Pep left ... 2015, so yeah, Barca wins it all even without Pep.

The whole point of my argument is one guy said that Pep is better than Sir Alex Ferguson... to that I said, Pep should win UCL with Man C first before we crown him the best.

PS: I’m a fellow CFC fan too ... I’m having sleepless nights thinking of their future with Hazard going, transfer ban, clueless coach, ineffective director

PopeFlatino:
Forget talk...Messi has more Goals and assists for Argentina than Maradona,Messi has more collective trophies than Maradona,so don't let the jealous legend confuse u with his attacks..yes individually as I said wit lots of great stats..am not banking on them to win d Copa this year though

We don’t give a flying fuk about club trophies OK ... Barca won UCL before Messi, Barca will win UCL after Messi.
Argentina won WC and Copa before Messi, Messi arrived and all he has delivered is ZERO trophies forcing a bunch of silly/entertaining excuses to come out by Messi fan girls
PS: Argentina does not need 100 goals OK, they need 1 fûcking trophy ... just 1 morrra-fûcking trophy .... tell Messi that

PopeFlatino:
We haven't blamed anyone more than Higuain and the coaches...view all those finals through youTube go confirm urself say dat guy we dey Chelsea na scammer....The coaches are always wrong in their selections,for example at d last world cup,how can someone bench Aguero, Dybala,Banega and co just to play Benedetto,Acuna,Meza and some other unknown entities in crucial world cup matches Messi haven't played bad in all those finals ,was quite unfair to him by nature

Why did Messi not win Copa 2016?? He had the best team ... he was even playing against Chile that were down a player at a point but why did Messi not score?? Abi, toilet de worry your Messi at that time (like Maradona said??)

PopeFlatino:
Whether u like it or not,Google history of under17 world cups via Wikipedia,na Naija go appear there first as d most successful in that aspect and the next generation will see the same if it remains that way,so don't ever talk Ill of junior tournaments...or wait,did Cr7 play international youth competition at all oohh have forgotten he had no inborn talent just like Leo self,mtcheew u think say na by Euros wey Greece self don win,guy come South America come see war in d game,can Cr7 survive the high altitude in most parts like Bolivia? Or u think say Messi wouldn't have dominated everything if he had chosen Spain when they came for him? ...my dear he has delivered in youth system,he has delivered individually in d Senior setup..so deal with it

Ha ha ha ... he has delivered “individually” for Argentina senior national team ...
This is the funniest rationalization I have ever heard a delusional Messi fan girl ever come up with. You have already come to terms with that fact that Messi will never deliver a trophy for Argentina that in your desperation you are coming up with some pretty nonsensical albeit entertaining reasonings.
There is a reason why Maradona said Messi goes to the toilet 20 times before a big game ...

Maybe his blockose was scratching him at that very moment ...

PopeFlatino:
U got no point here at all,do u Kno me before?..if u had me on FB all these while u will realize that I have been complaining of Argentine appointments since 2010..final or no final....yes Messi missed Penalty as a human but htf could Higuain,Palacio and co miss sitters Messi always provide for them in crucial moments.....,that shows pure badluck for Argentina not just messi

Messi had the most talented supporting cast in Copa America but the moment Messi forked up in the final, all Messi fan girls started blaming
1) Coach
2) Messi’s team-mates
3) Team doctor

I tire for una ...

PopeFlatino:
Thank God u specified Senior national team shaa ,if not I for start from root but bear it in mind that he has 4'silver medals to his cabinet and history will count dat,He has WorldCup MvP award (golden ball) which Cr7 will be expecting his son to win on his behalf ,he is the Top scorer and Assist king for the country,He shares d record as d top scorer in the continent's WC qualifiers with luis Suarez,he has scored more hattricks this century for his national team and so on not forgetting that he has bleeped Nigeria hardcore during the Under20 ,Anal during the Olympics,Doggy style during the 2010 WC, Mouth Gig during the last wC and still waiting to cum on our ass soon if Dem no born Cr7 well tell am make him make WC final or u think say na dat final he ran away with his badluck to allow Eder win it for him

Please who gives a flying fuk about junior championships?? I hope you don’t celebrate our Nigeria U-17 championships like we are “world champions”??
When you put Messi against men and not boys in the international competition for country, Messi crumbles likes a cookie!!
Do you think Argentina will hang Messi’s golden balls or stats in their trophy cabinet like it is an Argentina trophy??
Please tell that Messi to go and win a forking trophy for Argentina... forget World Cup, just go and deliver Copa America

PopeFlatino:
Guy u be funny guy abeg ..last chance or no last chance Messi has tried his best for Argentina, Politics in that country and the way the ly select coaches and players that represents them is a major consign...I think the best Coach they have employed this decade was Sabella of 2014..others are mere garbade whom maradona performed better than.. but look at how shameful they dismissed him yes Messi has been to Copa finals and a wC finals but remember Portugal won d euros without Cr7 completing the victorious moment?...maybe they might loose to France if he was on d pitch..u don't know how Luck works,do u?

Chai chai ... all the same excuses again?? When Argentina was going to the finals why were you not complaining of the coach then?? Or na the coach make Messi shoot his penalty to the moon in Copa 2016 final??
Yes, CR7 got hurt 15 mins into that final but a CR7 inspired team beat France in France! What did a Messi led team do to that same France?? Oh let me guess, it was the coach’s fault ??
Tell Messi to warm the bench in Copa ‘19, there is no need to give more heartache to ARG fans

PopeFlatino:
u obviously can't quote without d word Messi..keep making our goat popular joor

I talk lie?
Exam Question (20 points):
How many trophies has Messi won for Argentina senior national team:
a) Zero
b) Two minus two
c) Twenty minus twenty
d) All of the above

PopeFlatino:
My guy u no dey understand English or wetin?..all those facts I gave u was just waste of vocab abi.... before Pep came to Barca, Madrid was the strongest force locally,Barca rarely dominates d Copa del Rey even,RijKaard the coach then was under intense pressure..Pep took over and promoted Prospects like Pedro,Sergio Busquets,Jeffren Suarez,Borjan,Made Messi the focal point in d team,Pushed Iniesta to the starting line Up to link wit Xavi ,brought back Pique,bought Thierry Henry,Chygrysknsky,Dani Alves,Adriano,and few others all to replace the likes of Thuram,Zambrotta,Sylvinho,DECO,Ronaldinho,Edmilson,van bommel,Van bronckurst,Then later sold Eto'o ,Yaya Toure,Milito, Chygrysknsky and co to build his own formidable team filled with the youth graduates..Perfected the old Total football to spontenous Tiki Take.. introduced Triangular passes and Razor through passes,Instilled confidence in young Messi to be d leader and forget his elderly friends whom were bad influence to his development then(Ronaldinho/Deco)...Man-managed Pique so well when we all thought his carreer is long gone with his involvement with the Shakira and made a team that will dominate for ages....when he left,Enrique won the treble with all Pep's Main Men involved in the team and Enrique still plays with the same philosophy....if not for Age factor,Departures and bad management from d top to the coaches of late,I think Barca would have still got what it takes to still win d UCL after 2015....so do u believe in Pep now?

Ok fine, you have displayed good knowledge of footy and footy history ... but before I join you in your Pep G Fan club, Pep has to win UCL with Man C ... I repeat, he has to win UCL with Man C, period!

Meanwhile, tell your Messi that June is the last chance for him to win a trophy for Argentina senior national team ... very unlucky for your darling Messi is that they will have to overcome my mighty Brazil - led by the talented boy/girl Neymar

AYFikayomi:
Pep took a team that had gone 2 seasons trophyless and won the historic sextuple (all 6 available) trophies and 3 b2b LaLiga titles.
Out of 18 available trophies in first 3 seasons he won 14!
If that is not special, what is?

Barca won UCL before Pep.
Barca won the treble after Pep.
Case finished.
Wait, you need more?? ... Bayern won the UCL in 2013. Pep inherited that formidable team and how many UCL trophies did he win with that Bayern team I’m 2014, 2015 and 2016?? ZERO!
Ok, how many UCL finals did he at least take that great stern team to?? ... another forking Zero ... but y’all want us to crown him as king ...

PopeFlatino:
No drag Messi enter the argument because we Barca Fans don't prove points easily without mentioning Cr7..if u enter that lane I might dominate u with facts and figures but let's save it for another time...if u red my last paragraph u will see where I noted that 3 years isn't good enough for a club of other tactics to swap to TikiTaka...and he spent just 3 years in Bayern,still. Managing to take them to Semis. As he commit when last did u see them at d semis?... Before him was a Man called Heynches that won that treble,A German man wit Bayern's philosophy,so he needed just little time to deliver just like pep did at barca

Bayern won the UCL in the summer of 2013 and then when Pep took over later that year, he could only take them to the semi finals and you are now raising your hands in the air calling that “progress”??
This is exactly how Messi fan boys rationalize ... delusions and denials

PopeFlatino:
That's d problem u have ....Jupp Heynches is a German,played in Germany,Passed through Bayern's Tactics and implemented it so well during his tenure..why do you think they always rush to employ him any time they ran into trouble?..because he is an embodiment of their playing style which Pep Tried to change to a more Spanish flare (TikiTaka)...Jupp Heynches treble success set d bar so high that we fans expected Bayern to keep winning the UCL wit Pep but that's not so because the philosophy needs more than 3years to perfect..

In summary..JuppHeynches and his Philosophy is to Bayern what Pep and his Cryuff's philosophy is to Barcelona.... That's y it took Pep just 1season to win his own treble in Barca because he is already an embodiment to the style existing,no need to teach them more ..

So let me get this straight ... you are conceding that Pep failed at Bayern?
There is really nothing special that Pep did in Barca, I mean, they won the treble after Pep left ... you know the time when Pep was scratching his head at Munich

PopeFlatino:
Did Sir Alex win it with Man utd and Man City too? Did u know how expensive Ferdinand,Saha,Becks, Rooney, and co were back then ? Compared to then European Giants....yes I respect Mourinho for wat he did wit Porto and Inter and that was then when Football was played for the Love of it not now all is based on financial strength,and Mind u Mourinho is a product of Barca's management class incase u are beefing my club....but have u come to ask urself a question,have u seen any Quatari sponsored team go far in UCL since they took over dealings in Malaga,Monaco,PsG, Mancity, and co?..have u ever imagined why?..it's either the team crumble later or keep getting disappointed yearly..but for Pep and Man City..watch out,they must break that curse,mark it somewhere..3 years isn't enough yet to drag A no-history ManCity to d top

Yup, the same Pep that took Bayern, that has just won the UCL trophy, to ZERO UCL finals.
I know you are a Messi boy even before you said it. You guys use the same excuses to explain why Messi has not won any trophies for Argentina

PopeFlatino:
Where in my write up did I mention treble now? Besides he won the treble first for Barca in 2008/09.....Is 3 years enough time to build a dynasty dat can conquer Europe with a new team like Bayern and city (relating to his tikiTaka tactics? ) no.....It didn't take Pergie just 3years to won it at Manutd either..so relax and enjoy City

Bayern won the UCL in 2013 ... they had a solid team. Pep took over that solid team and what did he do with it?? Did he win any UCL with them? ... Forget that, did he even take them to one forking UCL final?? And you want me to commot my shirt and be raising it in the sky for “king pep”?? ...
