FIFA (@FIFAWorldCup) asks a question that seems common but also one that perhaps not many have given deep enough thought to.

WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE NIGERIAN PLAYER OF ALL TIME?

https://x.com/FIFAWorldCup/status/1851255164986077657?t=6vDgPYbRqtYiUbMDL0PiEg&s=19[/quote]He has always been my favourite Eagles player, maybe because the first tournament I actually watched was 1996 Olympics.
Osaze another of my favourite after his 2goals against SA.

TheSuperNerd:
Mister Ignoramus.

Nothing you say will cancel the fact that FIFA is bigger than France Football.

The placing of the FIFA the Best also wasn't publicised during the Afcon and attention was clearly on the Afcon if that is hard for you to get, it is your dense problem.

FIFA World Player of the year has always been bigger for years than the Ballon D'or which is why no one gave a damn whenever ballon d'or gave out its awards because it was restricted unlike the FIFA version.

Ballon d'or recent popularity surge is only because they joined with FIFA for 5-6 yrs between 2010 and 2015, renamed it to the FIFA Ballon D'or and walked away from the partnership after using FIFA's name and prestige to popularise the ballon d'or again after it went global an broke away from its award restrictions.

FIFA >>>> BDO anyday. One is clearly bigger from history.

jihday:
that one no concern me, my own be say as per your theory, Rodri is a better player than Xabi, Xavi and Iniesta

TheSuperNerd:
Minus Mohamed Salah, Lamine Yamal is easily the best and most effective RW in the world.

Even Saka (my favorite RW in the world at a time over a year ago) takes a backseat now behind Yamal. A

Madrid are monsters but Barca is the Bogeyman for Monsters.

Flick has been cooking and he is surely cooking up dominance in Spain and gradually Europe.

alxx:
Following your logic, who is the greater Italian defender between Paolo Maldini and Fabio Cannavaro?

mostob:
As Bayern lost yesterday, everywhere just quiet. If to say Bayern win yesterday, everywhere would have been painted blue.

AndSunGorilla:
Times are different sir. Your argument shows you have an agenda obviously . I just wanted to correct the wrong information that Canavarro is the only defender to have won the Ballon D'Or.. and I won't list Cannavaro as part of the all time 3 greatest defenders. But the year he won it, he was the best in the world at that time.

And to answer your point, a non BDO might be better than a BDO winner if we look wholistically at their careers and times. For example, Cannavaro can never be said to be better than Maldini. But Beckenbauer could be said to be the GOAT of all defenders though .

AndSunGorilla:
The greatest Franz Beckenbauer won it twice and also another great Mattias Sammer also won it sir.

AndSunGorilla:
Not the greatest of all time but certainly amongst the greatest. Also at a point in time, he was the best in the world.

AndSunGorilla:
Not all great players win the ballon d'or but every ballon d'or winner is definitely a great player by any standards.

AndSunGorilla:
Wow, wonderful!!! So by implication, a ballon d'Or winner is not necessarily a good player (irrespective of the position he plays). Again I say, wonderful!!!!!!

BankyGee:
Nwabali too good. He just posted this highlight on his Instagram page. For those saying he's not been tested, which kind test wan pass this one again?

A good goalie is a good goalie 👌🏾

minfelix:
that penalty call was pure robbery…nobody touched musa

Napoleon55:
But the 2024 set not more technical than 2013 either.

I don't think any of 2013 set is technically better than Mikel,Ideye and Victor Moses .

If I'm to choose who wins,is 2013 set

M7even:
We have all seen this like two days ago. Was it because you hadn't seen it yet that made you choose to make us cringe at your thoughts and opinions on the NFF

20 Points of a 20-hour ordeal on Libyan soil Pt. 2

NFF Media
October 14, 2024

.

TheGoodJoe:

I made points. If you disagree with them, explain what I missed.

Odunayaw:
Joe don deteriorate sha. Which kain thing I just read

Odunayaw:
The USMNT comes into Nigeria to play a match, we reroute them to Maiduguri and lock the team with the USSF president and the deputy governor of Alabama in the airport for 15 hours. Also frustrate staffs of the Department of State trying to reach them.

Think on that scenario and imagine the response of the US.

make una de deceive unasef with this faux cool heads mantra

TheGoodJoe:
First of all, the players are like diplomats. That is what makes the action of Libya ridiculous. Now some of the questions answered here needs clarification from the NFF than just saying it is all the fault of Libyans.

Okay, let us take it that it is all the Libyans fault, are we all saying in such a scenario the NFF has no obligation to TRY to remedy the situation. It is their fault, so we abandon them. Well, the Libyans and other African see it as neglect, poor hospitality and endangerment.

Finito.

kennysville:
Dude! I think I have to respond to you now. This you have written up here is borderline absurd. I have never engaged you vehemently and be attacking your personality. But a word of advise? You cant be right at all times. Sometimes I wonder if you are married.
Now as you usually say that one should attack the point and not the person, who travels without finding the proximity of their destination to the Airport they are landing? You are treating these folks like diplomats. This match has been on the calendar from I think June. Who okayed their original trip to Port Harcourt? How do you leave cause and start to attack effects? By your reasoning, Newton's 3rd law of motion is already invalidated.

You have a high credibility rating here bro, dont devalue it with needless arguments in a bid to look that part. You are always and have always been intelligent. No need to be trying too hard.

chrisooblog:
When my blue font friend gets in this mood of arguing in a contrarian way na to jump and pass his posts with the speed of light.

The part wey off me saying we should have paid for the Libyans flight from PH to Uyo because we're rich mumu's who should pay for other people's incompetence.

TheSuperNerd:
You are overblowing this. They were never in danger. Just end it already and stop defending animals who unjustifiably almost killed your own NT, cooked up a fake agenda with fake pics and vids, and charged x5 of the standard price of plane fuel. Enough please.

TheGoodJoe:
Also thank God the Libyan boys are safe.

TheGoodJoe:

I repeat. The NFF needs to furnish us further with the steps they took. I am talking of Sports ministries of States due to time but now the story has even changed from 1hr to 3hrs.

So what did the NFF protocol team do to prevent such embarrassment. We are looking bad due to this.

What did steps did they take to mitigate the crisis?

TheGoodJoe:
The NFF man said they requested for buses. Then they are telling us they rejected buses. There are holes in his Story. The NFF protocol team must clarify this.

3hrs is enough to get buses from UYO to Port Harcourt. They won't even need the Rivers Ministry of Sport for any support with three hours. So the 1hr info. was a lie from the NFF.

semid4lyfe:
Just watched this Ola Aina's vlog.

Truly. It made me smile and laugh.

In all their shenanigans. the Libyans made a costly mistake by not blocking nternet access..

The internet access allowed us to escalate the issue via social media, and they effectively lost the info war.

By the way. was it the airport WIFI the players were using or were they given local sims with internet access? How were they able to access the internet?

BankyGee:
If this video doesn't make you smile, I no sure say you fit smile for this life again 😂

Our players na vibe abeg 😂 Ola Aina's 20 hour vlog of the hostage situation from the Libyans.
