Are you saying the first 90 mins of this game was exciting?? Shocking football compared with England Sweden

Extra time with host nation is always going to be tense.

England vs Sweden= Worst match of the tournament (by a mile)

Yes they ran out of luck but there’s been countless teams that won cups due to lucky runs, e.g Liverpool 2005, Italy 2006, Chelsea 2012.

Italy 2006 was no luck

That was their best generation of players in a while (del Piero, totti, inzaghi, pirlo, iquinta, zambrotta, Rossi etc)

They were the most organized team
Italians usually win on merit
Matter of fact they're hardly lucky

In the midst of bad people they're always good person....so you mean their is no political icon you find respectful in Nigeria?

A criminal is not a good person

BlackManta:
Juventus were Seria A champions in 2006 before they were relegated due to match fixing scandal.

Canavaro won Seria A title in 2006 before it was stripped away.
He was named Best Player in Italy that year.

Hazard failed to challenge for PFA player of the year, which Salah eventually won.
He failed to help Chelsea to a top 4 finish.
He failed in Champion League.
He failed to win Chelsea Player of the Year.
He failed to make PFA team of the year.

You think all these failures will be wiped away with world cup trophy

Sorry bro.

Cannavaro was a beast in Seria A in 2006.
He was fantastic in his league before winning world cup.

You cant be poor in both league and champion league and win balon dor ahead of Messi and Ronaldo who were dominant in La Liga and Champion League respectively.

Hazard's 2016/17 season is a very poor compared to Canavaro's season when he became world best.

At least Kane could win golden boot but he cant beat Ronaldo and Messi with a trophyless season with Tottenham.

But dont mention Hazard, he is behind Messi and Ronaldo.

You guys are funny.

At first it was Neymar for Balondor.
Neymar got knocked out in world cup and now the song has changed to Hazard and Kane for Balondor.

You people are funny.

Ribery won treble in 2013 but a trophyless Ronaldo became world best.

Iniesta and Xavi won world cup in 2010 and yet Messi became world best.

Wesley Sneijder won treble and became a world cup finalist in 2010 and yet he could not win world best.

Manuel Neur won world cup in 2014 and yet he could not beat Ronaldo to world best.

And now y'all thinking that Kane and Hazard will beat Messi/Ronaldo to world best

I laugh in Swahili...

In a worldcup yr ur worldcup performance is what matters most other league what ever are not to relevant
Else Romario wouldn't have won over Baggio or even Bergkamp in 94
Or Luther Mathias winning over Maradona in 90
Even Ronaldo 9 winning over Zidane in 2002

Ribery, Sniedier didn't win the world cup
Germans usually don't have an outstanding individual talent

Winning the worldcup gives you a chance
De Brynne, Hazard, Kane all have a chance at Balon D'or this yr
They also performed well in the leagues
And yes Hazard won the FA cup

Tonymegabush1:
Pls my brothers I want 2 ask since France will b playing against Belgium in d semi finals, thiery Henry is 4rm France but currently he is working in the Belgium technical team how una reason this can task go be for Henry against his country France

There is what is called Professionalism

In European football they understand this principle very well

andrew444:
Bros there is nothing special about the French team,I support Brazil but I will not be bias

The French team will not survive Brazil with their weak giroud

Lukaku didn't score but he gave Miranda a nightmare

I tip Belgium for greatness but I am not writing off France

Brazil is no match for the French team
This is a team that scores and wins without too much effort
They have not even played at high tempo yet
The French team is the most balanced of all the teams in this tournament
Attack, mid, def all score A in my book

The Begium/France winner would most likely win the cup

By the way, nuisance Giroud up front is on of the reasons they are hard to beat
Tho very lousy he has the best link up play of any striker in world football currently

Jeferious:
Did you say that I used one match to make my statement? Go and check. Quintero has been their best player so far in all three matches before the England match. It didn't come from me- It came from the commentator in their last game against England.

And saying that Columbia would have won if James played is the same as saying that Argentina should win France because Messi is in the squad. As intelligent and great as some of these players are, individual brilliance means little in the world cup. Time and time again, it has been proven that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. And this current England is the most efficient English side that I have seen in a very long time. Even Lampard and Gerrard's England weren't this efficient. Southgate really did a nice job on his team.

I said based on what was played that night a James inclusion would have made the difference for Colombia, this is a fact

Quintero is no match for James at least for now, this should not even be up for debate

Jeferious:
Did you watch the match? If you did, did you notice Quintero Did you see his moves on the ball?

The way you are going about James, I think you are mistaking him for Messi. I've watched James play... from Porto to Madrid to Bayern, and I can tell you that Quintero is giving him a run for his money with his moves on the ball

You're using one match to compare the 2?
That they lost tells you all you need to know

The difference BTW big and small teams is Quality. That's why big teams pay alot for quality players

James may not do 2much on the ball but he is quality, REAL QUALITY
Quintero is not his equal in this regard

You can see the difference in their last 2group games compared to the England game

With James there Falcao would not have been that isolated. His creativity would have destroyed England for sure Atleast based on what was played that night

Football is not about 2many movement
How quality is your input is what matters
That's why a lazy player like Ozil would still be sought after by many top teams

Jeferious:
James is a quite popular playmaker, but did you even notice Quintero? His every move reminds me of Messi.

I don't like to flow with hype. I like to watch the players myself. And with what I saw yesterday, Quintero seems better

Comparing Quintero with James?@#??

Are you really sure you've watched James play for the past 4 yrs at all??

He's their best player by a mile

Based on the game played his absence and Colombia players initial lack of ambition was just the difference BTW Colombia winning and lossing

seunny4lif:
This is the sweetest world Cup

Yea looking to be the best ever

Leonbonapart:
Christians, brace yourself and sit up. Buhari, el rufai, mayetti are behind the killing of Christians in Nigeria. We need to fight back. Reprice those attacks. A spade must be called a spade

Work towards disbanding the disease called Nigeria
Anything else u're doing is a waste of time

u all better act fast

cooltola:
I do rational just very practical no one picked to be AS, they were born that way. It just happen like that. There have cases where two AS married and have healthy children. How many people for village get time to do blood test? How many people born pikin out of wedlock not knowing which one is AS or not?

The knowledge of blood type was brought to you for a reason
This is why nature is not stupid
it gives you opportunity to correct every wrong

For those in villages nature already does the job for them cause the dynamics there is directly connected to spirituality and nature
Villagers find their soulmate more than those in western style cities or towns
That why u hardly hear of sicklecell children born there

Cities and towns of present day age are western styled so would have all the diseases and evil the west brings
But like I said nature provides information so u can correct or manage these man made problems
Blatantly refusing to use this info for selfish reasons is just plain stupid and in this case just plain evil cause no one who know what sicklecell patients pass through would want that for his worst enemy let alone gambling with the lives of his children with such torture

cooltola:
So you will leave your potential soul mate then date another person who you are not sure If the next is an AS. What if the next person you date is AS and you have gone far in the relationship then now what? How can one tell someone is AS or not because it does not show physically at all. Some people will claim AA and will eventually be AS just a head up. Many Nigerians have the sickle cell traits . Life goes on, life is not" perfect.except you date white , Asian , Latinos, or anyone else, then you do not have to worry.

If u are AS and she is same, she's not ur soulmate
Your "soul mate" can never have the same blood type as u
Nature is not stupid

Seems you don't understand what it is to be sicklecell. How can any rational person want to put his child through that?
U might as well just give birth to the child and kill it immediately cause that is much better

Those who do this crap willingly not out of ignorance IMHO should be jailed

Goldmaxx:
now or then... if then show me proof

He is correct
Anyone who watched football then should know this
no need for proof

Even Henry was disliked earlier on at arsenal for his arrogance

Its a young star thing
just that some refuse to mature

doctokwus:
Blame the Brazil FA.
They started the rubbish of building the Brazilian team around Neymar in 2014,giving him free reign to not only behave,but play as he likes;now they and the poor Brazilian people,who also stupidly bought into the hype,are stuck with him.
Neymar has rather than contribute,stiffled the Brazilian team.I haven't even seen any positive impact he has made,rather than his constant childish showboating and diving up and down.
Though I am a lover of Brazil due to the way they have always played their beautiful football,but since Neymar came into the team in 2014 with his antics and showboating,i began hating the team and wanting them to lose,whenever Neymar plays.

Ronaldinho and Robinho do showboating

Neymar does nonsense

How can u showboat when u can't complete one successful dribble without falling or lossing the ball
Very unappealing childish nonsense

Launcher:
I've heard about many things done with voodoo, but I've never witnessed it. Until I do.......... no I don't believe it exist

cool

Just know the physical and meta-physical knowledge, sciences and technologies/tricknologies are 2 sides of the same coin, 1 and the same.

In our original state we had all the knowledge but in this phase of our existence majority of these knowledge is with held from the public for reasons I don't have time to explain

This is why u have the occult
Occult aka secret group aka secret society is where many of the knowledge is taught

And even at it is reduced to low level even for the occult with highest degrees (highest is 12degrees is highest of in occult while the total nmbr is 360degrees)

Point is ur so called science is less than 1% of the real thing
matter of fact the one given to public in schools etc is a fraud lol

Ur leaders are not controlling u all by accident

Launcher:
I sometimes wish I don't have to live with most spiritual people........facts would be staring at them in the face but would choose to stick to the lying side

Topic aside

You think juju/jazz/voodoo doesn't exist?

cooltola:
What if your best friend and your lover was AS and you are AS, is that going to prevent you from having kids? Sometimes i laff at some people who stop dating because of AS. Are you certain that your next lover will not be AS?One should know that a quarter of our population have AS at least .

This is extremely selfish and downright Evil

Why gamble with the life and wellbeing of your unborn kids ?

Love is for idiots
compatibility is for rational beings

she's a woman
A Man would find it more difficult

EvilChild:
Muslims are representing while the stupid dumb Christians in the pitch are bullshits.

It's high time we convert Nigeria to a full time Islam nation.

Christians are doing nothing to help this nation, first it was Biafra now here they are supporting the Nigeria team.

Nigeria would be turned to a full time Islam nation pretty soon.

To you all Christians or Jewish people, it's either conversion or death by hanging.

Thank you

If you what is good for you and your lineage leave Biafra out of your stupidity


Ignore this advice at your own peril


.......same goes to your fellow jihadists

Americans developed america.
men built their homes, fought off bandits, grew their crops, raised cattle, had families and prospered.
but also died in the thousands each year-
from disease, snake bites, Indians, bandits, accidents, weather…

because they learnt endurance, they refused to allow politicians have their way ; they had to be part of the process.
but to get there, many, many more died needless deaths.
then came the modern 'freedom fighters'-
Rosa parks. martin Luther, Malcolm x;
and hundreds of thousands of members to their cause.

in today's world, america has more activism than the entire African continent.
who can ask the south Africans what happened to aluta continua?
what of the Arab spring in all those north African nations?
here, we look for a messiah to win matches and solve problems on our streets.
the irony?
our ancestors lived in the same way those american pioneers did.

so what went wrong?
and more importantly-
what will you and I do about it?
because clearly, everything from the ruling class has failed.
is it time for the common man to rise up to the challenge?

what will you sacrifice for the next 2/5/9 years, to get a great nation?
what will you give up for 24/7 power, running tap water, pipeborne gas, tarred roads, free, quality healthcare, smooth roads and debris-free, covered drains?
let me put it another way:
what kind of investment are you willing to make to have a truly great nation?
international football?
dstv?
time?
money?
energy?
betting?
nairaland?

you choose.

How can anyone in his or her right senses sacrifice anything to remain a British slave in the Nigga area colony?....





.......too many stupid black people

peacettw:
Are u married? I understand how this might apply in a boyfriend girlfriend relationship but in a committed relationship like marriage, it's best you operate with trust cos if if everyone keeps waiting for results/reality scenarios etc, to get things done, most marriages will fail woefully.

Still on ur line of logic. Do u really think Christianity as we know it will still be around if we all waited on God to show us results first? I very much doubt it. We are still Christians cos we trust and believe God to be real not necessarily cos we are getting all that we deserve from him.

Black man/woman christain= FOOL

black man/woman muslim= FOOL

You have your original authentic spiritualities, go back and start practicing that and stop being a worthless slave

Trust is the foundation for deceit
Prove all things with proper facts and figures and deception would have no where to hide

aribisala0:
You make plenty of sense...........
to yourself

Ofcourse.......


I can't please everyone

peacettw:
Okay then. Let me know how that is working out for ya.

It works out for everyone
It never fails

peacettw:
It is an insult to the wife. Haba... Let's all reason well now. Indirectly, he is saying he doesn't trust the wife. The marriage is already half gone, DNA or no DNA

Trust Is for IDIOTS

work based on results and reality

Traditional means NOTHING


If it is kaftan call it Kaftan. If is Babariga call it babariga and so on

All those words like native and traditional are insulting and should be avoided.

If at all anyone is calling my clothes native let it not be ME


I do not see Europeans or anyone else calling THEIR OWN clothes "NATIVE"

NATIVE was a very derogatory word during the colonial era indicating a superiior>inferior relationship.

Many are not aware and just go along .

For me I am wearing a Buba and Sokoto and that is what it should be called not "NATIVE". If you insist on that then those words will enter the English dictionary just like Fedora,kaftan,dashiki,poncho,sombrero, etc

Semantics doesn't matter
No need for drama
Getting the point I made is what matters


Substance over theatrics is the code for the wise

boldking:
As I watched the Argentina and Iceland match today and
wondered why there were no black players in the Argentinean
team when other South American teams had black or biracial
players, I remembered a conversation I had last year.
It was while I was on a cruise from Florida to the Grand
Cayman Islands in the Caribbean.
Between an Argentinean doctor and myself, who had walked
up to me during lunch one day and struck up a conversation
with me.
There was no hiding the attraction.
We had bonded much to the chagrin of her three Argentinean
friends.
On the deck of the ship that day, she kept going on about how
she loves black men and looks forward to traveling so she can
meet them.
I asked her.
"Don't you have black people in Argentina?"
She said with a matter of fact candour.
"No. Long time ago, after slavery, we killed them all."
I was taken aback.
She smiled.
And continued.
"Very bad. I am ashamed of my people. It was very systematic
though. Very well thought out. First they forced most of the
men to fight for Argentina against Paraguay. They knowingly
sent them into battles that were poorly planned so that the
Paraguay army will do for them what they couldn't themselves
do. Kill the blacks. Most of them died there. The remaining of
them they forced to live in this province were there was a
plague. A disease that the government refused to curb so that
it can also do for them what they couldn't do. Kill the blacks.
The refused to set up hospitals, clinics, adequate shelter, food
outlets, nothing. They created the best environment for the
disease to thrive. It killed the rest of the men that had
survived the war. The darker you are, the higher the chance
they will send you to that place to live or to the war to die. The
lighter skinned women they forced them to sleep with the
white men, so that their children are biracial, then they forced
the children when they grew older to sleep with white men, so
that the blackness of the skin of the children became whiter
and whiter until there was no longer any visibly black people
seen. It was so bad that blacks fled to Chile, Peru, Bolivia,
Brazil and even Paraquay where they were better treated even
though not as well as they should be treated as human beings
deserving full equality. Atleast those ones did not want to kill
them and accepted to give them protection and a means of
livelihood. As a matter of fact in Chile, there was a city called
Arica where Black people were so accepted and respected
that in the 1700s two black free man, one called Anzuréz were
elected mayors. But the white colonial masters from Spain
came six months later and nullified the elections, they were
afraid of other cities giving black people too many rights. But
the blacks who had found succour did not complain, they sent
word for others to flee Argentina and come join them. Afterall
what was cancelled elections compared to certain death?"
Then she went silent as though trying to replay the magnitude
of the crime in her mind again. Then she said it in a sombre
tone in order to drive it home to me.
"The ones the Argentineans did not kill through war or
disease, and rape and impregnate, fled the country and
ultimately we got rid of the blacks."
I listened in rising sorrow.
She continued academically.
"So although they abolished slavery in 1815 in Argentina, it
continued until 1853, after that the main preoccupation of the
leaders was how to get rid of the black slaves and their
descendants. Our president who ruled us from 1868 to 1874,
Domingo Faustino Sarmiento, wrote in his diary in 1848, this
was long before he became president and slavery ended that -
'In the United States… 4 million are black, and within 20 years
will be 8 million…. What is to be done with such blacks, hated
by the white race?' - It shows that he was already thinking of
how to eliminate black people before he became President
and when he became President, he succeeded."
"Didn't the world say anything?"
"No. They ignored it. I am sure most of them wanted to do the
same thing but failed. At that time, they admired them. I
remember when I will go to Brazil as a child, my father's friend
will say in disgust as he looked at the black Brazilians - we
should have had your guts and finished them off. All of them.
Make Brazil white just like Argentina."
"And the Europeans?"
She laughed.
"It is an open secret, just like King Leopold and his genocide
in Congo. No one talks about it, but they know about it.
Atleast the older ones do. The younger ones not so much.
Why do you think all the Nazis ran to Argentina after World
War 2?"
I was silent.
She continued.
"Because it was the perfect place for the most evil racists in
history to live."
Then she looked out to the infinitely blue sea around the ship
and sighed audibly before she continued.
" Sadly, to some extent, it still is welcoming and accomodating
of racial hatred. We took the Tango from the African slaves
and made it our own. In Argentina, not one person will tell you
the true history of that dance. They don't want to associate it
with Africa. In fact if you ask them about black people in
Argentina they will tell you that there has never been black
people in Argentina. They teach them in schools. They rewrite
the history. They make it all white. And as I said it is all
underneath the surface. They never come out and say we hate
black people. Argentina is only for whites or anything like that.
They have just fixed the country to only be for white people."
I looked at her friends, Argentineans like her, who were
lounging on the chairs on the deck, clad in their tiny bikinis,
drinking pina coladas and smiling.
She followed my gaze and then turned to me.
"Don't be fooled by all those smiles, scratch the surface and
you will see that all they want is for you to disappear."
Toronto

Nice write


Deep in the heart of every non black person they want all black people eradicated

It is a genetic instinct, tho many try to fight the thought (some overcome it)

This is a fact many Black people have not understood yet

aribisala0:
Does the attire have a name?
Or is the name "traditional"?

Traditional here means your native atire
Kaftan, Babariga, isiagwu etc what ever is native to ur area of Africa wear it

aribisala0:
Wearing suits is part of the Nigerian culture in 2018. Just like eating with cutlery, wearing bras, smoking cigarettes, using Brazilian hair and so on

That does not make the suit Nigerian dress. It is borrowed.

The issue is whether suits are indigenous to Iran or not.

There are very few countries in the world where suits are not a PART of the culture but how big a part.?
In Nigeria suits are a greater part of the corporate culture and smaller part of the social culture

Black people wearing suit look like slaves
Very very stupid look

In Traditional attire they look royal and elegant
Wear them
