You just bring up nonsense statistic to promote Messi. Messi scored 10 goals in five world cup. C. Ronaldo scored 7 goals in 5 world cup. Ronaldo De Lima scored 8 goals in 2002 to win his second world cup. And you wonder why the two useless goats have failed to win a single world cup.

Oya tell us who delima played along with?

World cup has never been won by individuals at least since the 2002 you're talking about.

Brasil, Italy, Germany, Spain, France were team with team works not some brilliant champ always doing it.

JasonScoolari:
What did I tell you about Pendu fans?

This?

Almiron:
hello little girl, I told you that I'll come for you, I told you hand go touch, but cos you're female, I'll go easy on you. Next time wait till 90mins before you engage in banter.

You head like the suffeumg version of the man you posted. Your cry ll be a yovated on Sunday.

Too many assumptions
Who are you to be teaching LIFE LESSONS
Everyone cannot be humble otherwise it would have no meaning that too is a LIFE LESSON
He has plenty to be arrogant about
His career is ending well, better than 99% of players. How many players of his age are still playing
He was benched because he was not performing on the field. If he was performing he won't have been benched. The law of diminishing returns is setting in . The logic you introduce is flawed . If he is being benched because of arrogance did he suddenly become arrogant this year? No He was performing and now he is declining

No decent club interested in signing him? Define DECENT. Reality is he is almost done and still he is offered a contract almost NO ONE can get.

Give it a rest . I am not even his fan but you sound like you are hating

Not only that. Muhammad Ali was boisterously extremely arrogant and a loud mouth about it. Today he is fondly revered as the greatest...
Though... he was so loudly arrogant it was somehow humble!

pquaver:


Kai Messi wicked ooo. Messi has turned this one to NBA fans

did i mention messi in my comment u this scally...

robosky02:



NPFL is coming .... But its unfortunate NFF are still not serous. Organized leagues are already half way, and we are yet to start by December?
When CAF is expecting representative around may2023. Mark it we will return to PPG or select clubs to represent us

Hmmmmm

Very sad indeed!

Yes, everyone cannot be humble...so choose the side of the spectrum you would love to be placed.

You completely missed the point of the writer if all you deduced was that CR7 was benched because of his arrogance. Decent club means top tier clubs. Please don't ask me what top tier clubs means.

I'm not hating,,but I see beyond the rivalry of both players that has span over a decade, and I drew some life lesson out of it, which I shared.

Magnoliaa:


Hatuuur!

How did I never knew?

Knew what .

I nor want CR7 and Messi to smell that trophy


Morocco or France for the win. There is nothing even spectacular about the Argentine side

I have soft spot for women, I'll always go easy on you lol. You're troublesome I sabi you very well lol....

Argentina will win this world cup

Quote me any time

I'm done here

Soulvein:
Be civil, we are all here to have fun. You don't get paid for being a fan. I care less if any team wins, I just want a difficult game that will require the ingenuity of each side to secure a victory.

Your last sentencehas said it all..That's really the fun of football...

Starz825:


No vex

I was trying to say that they are most likely to lose

no bad blood bro..we muff

Greenscientist:


Don't you see how the Croatia player was allowing him to dribble him?

FIFA is corrupt. Lols.

So are you trying to say that FIFA paid the entire Croatian defence and attack to play weak and slow for Argentina to win ??

I predicted this match to end 3:0 in favour of Argentina. Just that I predicted Messi to score hat trick, but I was bullied by Pendu fan base. Thank God the reality is here with us.

Tobijays:
most penalty ever in a World Cup guy to a single team! Nah Qatar get PSG and they bribed lot of MEPs wey dem don dy arrest across Europe! Who come be referee wey dem no fit pay! Football is nah total blown fraud

See how una dey reason. If Quatar fit tell FIFA wetin dem go do, y dem no go tell dem to make dem even qualify 4 grp state.

Ohhh. You're an all-round h8er.

I thought you're pro-Pendu ni.

I can take you spreading the nonchalance vibe across board.

Anyhow anyhow sha, Messi has put to the grave the GOAT "debate".

kals4luv990:
at 35years Ronaldo was the Highest goal scorer in Seria A

Messi won his 7th Ballon D’or around that age.

JasonScoolari:
DissTr.oy, I hope you're seeing our King doing what he knows how to do best...

From Argentina to Austria, from South Africa to South Korea, Leo reigneth.
In the footballing Bible, it was foretold that the Messiah would come and whoever beliveth in him shall enjoy footballing glory.
And his name shall be Messi. Lionel Messi.

The Football Scriptures have been fulfilled!

kals4luv990:

Has Ronaldo ever collected a wooden medal in the world Cup?

The distance between Messi and Ronaldo is like from Lagos use leg trek go Borno state.

Croatia won just one match (again Canada) in Qatar 2022 outrightly in 90mins. I hope they play better in third place else they will be beaten.

Messi, one goal and one assist again

This guy is can't cease to contribute his genius in each game - the real, undisputed GOAT. A footballer that is remarkable and complete, all round. Wishing him best of luck to win the World Cup trophy in Qatar because he truly deserve it.. If not because he choose his country over Spain that gave him undeniable offer, he'd be a winner of the trophy since 2010

Please France beat Morocco tomorrow cause Morocco will be a tougher test than you guys cause they have the same zeal as Argentina and the are rock solid but you guys (France) will be a motivation and a perfect revenge for Argentina and Messi and that will shut the mouth of blind people with eyes. Some people will see 3 and still call it 5. Try and be honest

Sarcasm.

Bro, there’s a lesson in life about this pictures you need to learn….No man born of a woman is an island or independent. When you are humble or atleast people perceive you as being humble and modest without much controversy around you…nature will force people to like you and be part of your course, nature itself will be very bias towards you.

On the other hand, if you are arrogant or people perceive you as being arrogant and bask yourself in self aggrandisement, nature will fight you and force people to fight you either directly or indirectly….example of this is CR7..He downplayed everyone all for self-glory. Do you think is a coincidence that Ten Hag was benching him and Portugal coach benched him as well??…..see how he is ending his career, no decent club interested in signing him, benched at club, benched at National team, retiring without winning the prestigious medal. Yes, he is rich but is he fulfilled??

Learn this life lesson and be wise….Season come, season goes….but natural laws are set in stones

This is one of d best comments I have ever seen on nairaland. All points made are on point.


Man utd coach and Portugal coach cannot be wrong at the same time plus all top clubs rejecting him cannot be wrong at the same time. Napoli, Atletico Madrid, Beyer Munich etc all made official statements saying they don't want him.

Tobijays:
end of it all. It is clearly shown already I no dy reply any mentions!

No, come dey argue with again

Person go type non sense come post. After very few minuites you go see likes. You go then begin to imagine whether na alt accounts dey drop this likes. you no go know say some people dey reason in a very daft way. Especially for this sports section sha.

My Football Archbishop, I will share the testimony of the Messiah greatness on Sunday.

For a moment, we thought a town hall different from Balabloo bloo blu bulaba Croatia will cause an upset, but His Excellency, Lionel Obi Messi, DissTroy every useless threat posed by the weak All Progressive Croatia team.

God bless Lionel Obi Messi.

Messi for the cup

Kajaard:


This Argentina team I am seeing right now will be smoked by the French team in the finals.

Know this early and have peace

Cry more

I am not relevant to the discussion and what side of the spectrum I want to be placed is totally tangential.
The implied message was he was benched for arrogance or broadly attitude
The question is why he was not benched at Juve, Madrid or Man U in his first incarnation or even the Same Portugal in the past? He was benched because his performance has dropped
How many Top Tier clubs sign 37 year old strikers? That is not peculiar to Ronaldo . Where were Zidane, Pele or Maradona at his age. The clubs are businesses and that is a business decision.
Your reasoning about so called life lessons is not logical/ He is human and not perfect but on balance his career has been exemplary and full of positive life lessons of hardwork and dedication

na wa oooo


I done read comment here till I done the doze off.


Dear Messi fans.

Let's leave here for those Portuguese fan boys to wail with frustration, as we all retreat to our various bed's and sleep happily after f*cking our wife, girlfriend or side-chic.


We have a final by Sunday on the 18th of the 22 Century before Christmas, to support our beloved GOAT, so don't waste your strength here arguing with those Pained and jealous Pendu Fan boys.

Save the energy for the final whistle when Argentina wins.

Goodnight Intelligent people (Messi-Fans).

Yours beloved
