Gatherings of corrupt thieves as this would av been a delicacy for Rawlings of Ghana to do the needful. Seems we may need another Rawlings in this country. |
Gary Neville has picked Lionel Messi as his player of the tournament over Kylian Mbappe due to the players in the respective squads. As Lionel Messi prepares for arguably the biggest game of his career, he has been instrumental in guiding Argentina to the World Cup final. Messi has won it all at club level. Four Champions League titles, Seven Ballon Do'r awards, 10 La Liga titles, the list of achievements in incredible. However, the one trophy that has escaped his grasp is the World Cup. Messi was a vital part of the Argentina side that reached the 2014 final, but MarioGotze's winner in extra tie gave the trophy to Germany. Since his move to PSG, the 35-year-old has shown even he can't avoid father time. The Argentinean once left defences lost in his incredible solo runs before scoring. Nowadays, his creative genius from deep in the pitch has continued to leave fans in awe of his greatness. For some people, Messi will need to win the World Cup on Sunday to prove he is the greatest of all time. The resemblances to this Argentina winning team of 1986, led by Diego Maradona, have constantly been discussed through the tournament. If Messi lifts the trophy on Sunday, there is surely no debate. For this tournament, Gary Neville has named the Argentina forward as his player of the tournament ahead of Mbappe, with both players going into Sunday's final on five goals each. Speaking earlier today, Gary Neville claimed the players Messi plays alongside makes him the difference. "I'm going to say Messi because Mbappe is in a far better team than Messi. I think the players around Mbappe, there is some great players around him. Where as Messi, if you look at the players that he's got around him, don't get me wrong they are a good standard, I took a picture at the end of Argentina and Croatia, and there was 10 Argentina players camped outside the box, and Messi was stood up front on his own. It sort of summed up Argentina really." https://www.balls.ie/football/gary-neville-messi-mbappe-536938 |
forgiveness:Bring on the calibre of teams they met on their way to Semi finals and i'll list teams made of men Messi had raped tru out his career. The same Ligue 1 u will confidently tell me is farmers league now because Messi's in it. I'll tell u the more u compare Messi with Mbappe makes ur Ronaldo worst off, because Mbappe's achieving what Ronaldo has never smell in his career, and we may likely say he's second to Messi. |
Numerouno94:Its not hate bro, its their obsession and frustration especially when they know their fraud was long ago finished. But am waiting for them after Sunday, when Messi eventually carries that trophy. |
ThierryJay:Bro Pendulum fans are delusional sets of people, the argue blindly on whatever as long as it seems to make their mkpi in limelight. They are not ashamed Messi tru out his career have been compared to great ancestors who played football, compared to good players in his era, competing with their fraud and still at 35 still fighting with Mbappe who's very young and on fire. Where was their fraud at age 35 ? He was busy sacking coaches, from Ancelloti at Madrid to Sarri and Allegri at Juventus to Ole, Rangnick and almost ETH at United. They are claiming Mbappe played World cup twice, forgetting their penalty merchant has never smelled World cup final let alone won shishi as individual accolade in World cup. But still on still Messi is now in his second World cup finals, may likely scoop tournament's best player and highest goal scorer, same thing he did in Copa where dump pendulum fans still criticised Copa America is nothing. I'm waiting for them after Sunday on this Nairaland, God fails them Messi carries this time. |
Moh247:No joke bro, the hate is damn much.. They all acting as if Messi's destiny was tied to that of C.ro. Messi has nothing to proof and i equally have nothing to gain but with this hate, Lets wait till Sunday, am cooking something for them, in this nairaland. |
traihit:And how does Mbappe reaching World cup twice even makes him better than CR7 ? If France win this world cup, don't u think Dembele, Giroud and Benzema will win it twice and as such featured twice too. Bro, Mbappe is good, but i doubt Mbappe would av made it when we had prime Arsenal, Man Utd, Liverpool etc and Madrid team and comfortably carve a name in the pitch facing these clubs with their best players. Mbappe is taking advantage of era of not so good clubs, that's y Champions league these days is so open that any feeble club(permit me because there is compare to big ones) can carry because the Liverpools, Man utds, Milans, Barcelonas, Bayerns and Madrids of this world are no longer a formidable force. But Messi was able to make his name against these Clubs and possibly the strongest and best players at their prime. |
chiefolododo:Na this kind views makes me think people like u just started watching match yesterday. Easy La Liga goals ? But at that age Messi had already raped back to back the Arsenal's, Man Utd and Chelsea's and even Madrid of those days, which if u watched where unarguably one of the best clubs with best and super strong players. Now lemme ask u, could Mbappe have made name when those clubs where still in their prime ? It seems u underrate football, tell me how many goals Messi has againt English clubs, German strong clubs. Unless u'll argue with me those clubs of which ur club may be include weren't so good. |
Moh247:And i'll wish they all die in pains Sir |
NwaMamaIwota:Lol... Cry babies, Messi is social Media darling, so i'll ask, who has most social media attention, supporters, friends etc across all social media platform, is it Messi, why should he command such being behind Ronaldo on social media. Y'all Ronaldo's cry babies, now resorting to pity, when its obvious he never was close to Messi. Aside club laurels which Messi beats ur mkpi, will u still think Messi captaining Argentina to World Cup final twice is a mistake ? Oh i c... ur goat's failure to smell World cup finals is down to Messi's fault, stupid excuses, when we are talking about Football in the pitch which is what he has been doing for 18yrs u bring in social media. Ronaldo has made fortunes from media, he wanted it alot and so often brags about it, he's now reaping the negative side of renting an apartment with the Media, but before he grants his next interview with his fellow cry baby (Piers Morgan) Messi will be a world cup winner. Know this and find peace. |
Kylian Mbappe has been told he's not good enough to 'lace Lionel Messi's boots' with the two Paris Saint- Germain players set to go head-to- head in the World Cup final. On Wednesday night, Mbappe was once again integral to France, as they got past Morocco to make it into the final, for the second time in-a-row. The 23-year-old didn't add to his tally of five goals in the tournament so far but his jinking run setup substitute Randal Kolo Muani for the team's second goal, coming just seconds after Muani had come on for his first game in Qatar. That set up a meeting with club teammate Messi in the final, with fans joking that the Argentina star could be sacked if he finally gets his hands on the World Cup trophy. Having not scored in the semi-final, Mbappe goes into the final level on fivegoals with Messi, with the two top of the scoring charts for the tournament. That means that either man could end up winning the Golden Boot, whilst they'd also both be candidates for the Golden Ball and one of them will of course win the World Cup. However, despite all of that, and the fact he's already won it, unlike his PSG colleague, Mbappe is apparently not good enough to lace the Argentine's boots, according to DAMIEN DUFF anyway. "How good Messi is, the best version of Messi when he was 23, 24, 25 maybe, Mbappe doesn’t lace his boots," the former Chelsea winger told RTE. "The best version of Messi, Mbappe still doesn’t touch Messi. That’s how good Messi was. "That’s what I’m saying. The best version, when was that? When he was 23, 24. Messi is the best ever." Mbappe and Messi are set to be reunited on opposite sides of the pitch on Sunday. The comparison really comes down to the fact that Mbappe has long been regarded as the man to take the mantle of best in the world, once Messi hangs up his boots. Duff was suggesting that the former Monaco star is not as good as Messi was around the same age, which is perhaps a tad unfair. Not because Mbappe is that good, but just because you're comparing him to arguably the greatest player that's ever lived, a debate that will only be pumped up if Argentina win. |
Zee0007:Keeping mute was way better than giving delusional verdict. Was anyone expecting anything different from cry babies b4 ?. As a legend, Rooney's opinion matters, not that of a retired agbero. Abeg ghetaaat. |
Lionel Messi will record his 172nd appearance for Argentina in the FIFA World Cup final. Messi-led Argentina will meet France in the summit clash on Sunday. While Argentina captain Messi scored a record-breaking goal in the first half, Manchester City striker Julian Alvarez netted a stunning brace to help the South American giants register a comfortable 3-0 win over Croatia in the World Cup semi-finals. Messi, who became Argentina's all-time leading goal scorer at the FIFA World Cup, also produced an unbelievable assist to set up the third and final goal of the recently concluded encounter between the two teams on Wednesday. Showering praise on Messi after Argentina secured its berth in the FIFA World Cup final for the sixth time since the tournament's inception, Brazil legend Rivaldo backed the Argentine talisman to lift the famous trophy on Sunday. Taking to Instagram, Rivaldo penned a special note for Messi ahead of the summit clash in Qatar. “We no longer have Brazil or Neymar Jr. in the cup final so I'll stay with Argentina. no words for you Lionel Messi, you already deserved to be World Champion before, but God knows all things and will crown you this Sunday. You deserve this title for the person you are and for the wonderful football you have always played. I take off my hat and may God bless you,” Rivaldo wrote. |
Zee0007:with all honesty, i respect your opinion, but doesn't count, as u know little or nothing compared with what a Man Utd legend like Rooney knows about football. |
https://metro.co.uk/2022/12/14/world-cup-lionel-messi-is-the-goat-says-wayne-rooney-as-he-snubs-cristiano-ronaldo-17937532/ Wayne Rooney has once again stated his belief that 2022 World Cup star Lionel Messi, and not his former Manchester United teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, is the greatest footballer of all-time. Messi was once again in masterful form in Qatar, as he captained his Argentina side to a 3-0 win over Croatia in Tuesday night's semi-final. While many consider Messi to already be the GOAT, the World Cup remains the ultimate prize for the 35-year-old, and fans believe that if he lifts it the Messi vs Ronaldo debate will be finished once and for all. For Rooney however, there is, nor has there ever really been a debate, with the England legend's admiration for Messi well-known. He reiterated his love for the "little magician" during the semi-final win when he took to Twitter to retweet a message from over 10 years ago. Back in 2012, he said: "Messi is a joke. For me the best ever," with his new post adding: "Nothing has changed," accompanied by an emoji of a goat. By backing Messi, Rooney is of course snubbing his former strike partner Ronaldo. Rooney had previously said "Everyone has different views on Messi and Ronaldo but I have said many times that I think Messi is the best. "I have watched lots of videos of Diego Maradona, who was a similar player, but Messi is better" "He has everything, the way he controls games, his dribbling, his assists, whereas Ronaldo is more of a goalscorer". |
https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/12/14/no-sense-gary-neville-claims-cb-tottenham-could-sign-treated-like-rag-doll-by-messi/ Gary Neville thinks Tottenham Hotspur transfer target Josko Gvardiol was treated like a ‘rag doll’ by Lionel Messi as Argentina knocked Croatia out of the World Cup on Tuesday. The former Manchester United defender was shocked at how the 14 stone and 6 foot 3 centre-back was bullied off the ball by the 5 foot 7 forward. Gvardiol is only 20, still in the very early years of his career, but he’s probably already played against the greatest player he will ever face. It was a moment of pure genius from the PSG forward and Neville reacted to how Gvardiol was treated, as he told ITV Sport. “I watched him 12 years ago destroy Manchester United in two Champions League finals,” said Neville. “Absolutely incredible. Completely different player than he is now. “What mesmerises me about him is the skill we have seen for many, many years. But Gvardiol must be 13 or 14 stone. Six foot 3 and he’s literally rag-dolling him and pushing him away. “No sense of how you do that. With the ball at your feet and running at full speed, whilst twisting and turning. It’s unbelievable. It’s mesmerising to watch. “It’s the arm that he puts there, which keeps a guy that’s probably two or three stones heavier than him, away from him. You can't. Before their crucial tie with Argentina the 20 year old was voted as the best CB in the tournament. |
From the aftermath of elimination of several aged stars from the World cup so far, most have/had made decisions about their future with their national teams. Having been sent packing from Qatar by Morocco, expect no such decision from Ronaldo soon. With so much obsession with Messi, Baba will quietly follow Messi's fortune in Qatar, before making any stupid decision(that's the way he'll see it). If eventually Messi should win this tournament, which is 80% he will, expect no retirement from Ororo, he will want to combck gunning for 2026, even if by then he can't walk , Messi's image lifting the WC will be a menace Ororo wn't love to swallow ![]() |
JASONjnr:A goat u mean |
This is delusion at its peak. Imagine using what should be for Messi to Ronaldo. Someone who says he watches football, says Ronaldo has better international career than Messi. I ask him did Ronaldo play Euro 2016 final Portugal won ? Because Messi played and Marshalled Argentina to Copa final win against almighty Brazil Has Ronaldo won a tournament and still named Highest goal scorer, best player and best assist in his lifetime ? Messi has. Has ronaldo played World cup final before and afterwards won golden ball (best player award) in the World Cup before ? Messi has. Has Ronaldo won Olympics before ? Messi has. So can Someone ask that OP what he means by better International career if its not stupidity ? |

Cool, we visited this place on a field trip, in my Uni days, when the only bridge available then was a hanging bridge. Naira wasn't bad then, that i bought 3 super confam leather shoes in Cameroon with my 2500, two of the shoes still intact. ![]() So many things we've missed in this country and Naira is one them. |

Beverlyjean:Who b dis one sef... calling sm1 when in deep sense u are. Why vent ur frustration and depression on sm1. Does all your useless points stop the facts that; Messi's name should be changed to ballon d'or which he won 7 times ? Messi has more golden boots (6) even when pendu's brain dead fans claims pendu gives us goals. Messi is the only GOAT like previous legends who knows how olympic winners medal and trophy feels like ? Which pendu left the Whatsapp group ?. Messi carried Argentina to a world cup Final, which brain dead pendulum like u cant remember but thinks portugal where under form with pendu for winning Nations League ? That Pendu has never played in Euros final, but was carried by an unsung hero Eder ? That Messi keeps winning play maker awards each season, the same at Paris last season while not scoring by refusing to take free kicks while leaving it for King Mbappe of France and Paris ? That Pendu is the most rejected playe on earth, with 19 clubs turning him down, which is while he is settling for Europa ? That Pendulums were clamoring for ETH to feature pendu himself, of which favours was granted, while Pendu ghosted in a whole match ? Therefore creating the best stats for Utd. 4apps 4 losses for Man Utd ? That Man utd were second in table scoring goals with fun till pendu came ? Or that Barcelona had to sign 8 players as Messi's replacement of which its slowly towards paying off. Or is it changing the fact that a finished Pendu will never get to lay hands on 6th ballon d'or ? Argue with sense for once not emotions |
Brainmytool:No be only u oga, i notice am too, i dey boil sef.. one naija kee dm there, las las na our oyel moni suffa am. If i talk wetin dey my mind now, dem go say.... Imagine mega projects like that, later dem go say we get NDDC, then i'll ask, whats budget for NDDC that governs 9 SS states, as compared to those projects. Na still this same pple dey deprive or derail and delay our efforts towards having the deepest and best seaport down South, So as not bring an end to Lagos. But be shouting Lagos is overcrowded and strangers aren't welcome anymore. The worst is our only agitators don collect 4Billi contract, without noticing its a payment for them to sh*t d f**k up. As if we no dey Nigeria, if not for the determination some visionary leader's even though still corrupt, we have down here, with taste for dev. by now, here would av been a zoo, but thank goodness is not, all thanks to our state gov, without FG's intervention. If sm1 like me happens to rule my state, i wont bail out FG with any, i mean none of my infractures when the need arises, just like what we c between Catalonia(Barcelona) and Spain. Since this country is live alone dye alone. I cant point to any dev. Sponsored by d FG at this region, nothing, even the federal roads are in total delapidations and in complete mess, and moreso an eyesore as compared to the beauty our state built roads has. Too bad same keeps happening in all administrations of the FG. What a Shame. |
