Wayne Rooney has said his famous bicycle kick goal against Manchester City was better than Cristiano Ronaldo's spectacular effort in Real Madrid's 3-0 Champions League win at Juventus. Ronaldo produced a stunning strike at the Allianz Stadium on Tuesday, with his effort acclaimed by the home fans in Turin. But Everton forward Rooney said his 2011 strike in a derby victory at Old Trafford -- with which Ronaldo's goal was quickly compared -- had been the better of the two. The 32-year-old responded to Rio Ferdinand, a former United teammate of both his and Ronaldo's and now a television pundit, when he made the case for Ronaldo. Ferdinand wrote on Twitter: "Don't be comparing Ronaldo's overhead kick to Rooney's vs Man City which came of his shin... Morning Wazza!!" But Rooney, speaking in his role as an ambassador for the UEFA European Under-17 Championship, for which he conducted the draw on Thursday, said: "I texted Rio and I think it's actually a harder technique to do it off your shins. So I'll go with my own." Speaking on BT Sport after the Juventus game, Ferdinand said of Ronaldo: "He turns up every time he is asked to deliver on the big stage -- he delivers. In his relentless pursuit of greatness, he produces an absolute moment of brilliance. "This lit up this studio. Imagine what it did for people around the world to see one of the greatest, if not the greatest player on the planet, to produce a moment like this against Juventus, the magnitude of the game, the occasion." Earlier this week, Zlatan Ibrahimovic -- who scored a spectacular long-range bicycle kick for Sweden against England -- praised Ronaldo as "a goal machine" but added: "He scored a beautiful goal, but he should try it from 40 metres and see if it goes in." |

Stanza 4. It is noted here that the Poet is a religious persona who sees God as the 'Pilot of life' because He's a supreme being who controls the destiny of all men, and that without Him, nothing that exists can subsist. The reaction of people in time trouble and tribulations when they run back to God whom they all see as the universal king that solves all Mystery, is also portrayed in this stanza. |

Stanza 3. According to the Poet, his hope is long gone without any trace. He also wonders if there is anyone; fair, honest and courageous that can lead the people to their dreamland. The Poetic Persona also reemphasizes on the current state of the land. Here frustration is seen as a result of hopelessness. In this stanza the reader is also made to understand that people's efforts are undermined and their dreams are frustrated. |

Stanza 2. This stanza is seen as a sharp contrast between the Poetic Persona's dream world and the current world of pain and suffering. In these lines, the Poetic Persona discloses and cast more light on the kind of World he hoped for, 'an utopian world' a perfect World where peace and harmony reigns, and a world where dreams are achievable. |

Stanza 1. In these lines, the reader is made to understand the horrible pain that visited the Poet, because of the crises and intimidation suffered by the common people of the land. The reader is also made to understand that there's much hopelessness when he said "the light is gone, darkness high and low". |

SUMMARY The nameless nation referred as the ' the giant land', is likened to Nigeria because the word 'giant' is often used to describe Nigeria as 'The giant of Africa'. The poem can be seen as a depiction of Nigeria where good governance is elusive, a Country that offers no hope of a better life to the common man. |

Broken Dreams - Emmanuel Ekene Nwanne Here I am with pain clinging to my body like thorns, So profound that I can't find my feet, The Light is gone, darkness high and low, The giant Land is crying and deep in tears. An utopian world I've always yearned for, A world with endless circle of frolic moment, A world where pipe dreams never lived, A world where people are kept in stitches. The Land is crying and so deep in tears, My hope has been sent to the Lion's teeth, Who is whiter than white? Who has the balls To take the wheel of affairs? Oh Pilot of life where art thou? Lower your Heavens and come to our aid, Put ear to our pitiful suffering, Lower your Heavens and come to us.
