Don't mind them...
To think they compare Haaland to Messi..
Haaland won 3 trophies
Messi won more

Messi is the only player in history who won trophies with 3 different teams in a season.. Argentina, PSG, Inter Miami

And across 3 different continents, Qatar in Asia, PSG in Europe, Inter Miami in North America.
Messi didn't just win, he was outstanding too.
His goals n assists were great too.

There is difference between being a goal scorer and the best player.

Messi did not just win, he was also very outstanding, he was focal, and in most, he was the outright best player.

I was telling someone on this sport thread that man city ought to be grateful to these top 4 players for the treble win, they are KDB, Gundogan, Rodri and Bernardo Silva, I will even count more like akanji, Ruben dias and foden before mentioning Haaland. If haaland is that spectacular, why didn't he win bundesliga for Dortmund while at Germany?


Haaland even played 8 finals and semi finals, 0 goals 0 assists to him.

Op no disturb yourself. No matter how u deny it, d fact is always glaring. Just look at the massive and impressive runs and contributions of Lionel Messi throughout the year.


Haaland is just a sharp and excellent goal scorer, nothing more. And he's still face with criticism of ghosting whenever he played very strong opposition or in form teams. But with Messi, no opposition is safe. He can tear u apart at anytime.

OP tapnaldo fans go cry blood this evening wen THE BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER OF ALL TIME will be crowned as the ballon dor winner for the 8th time. Just dey watch

Beverlyjean:
Lies...another fake propaganda by the insecure pessi fans....show us the video....

U go cry tire dis Monday night wen they give number 8 ballon dor to Lionel Messi, world best player in history.
I'll be chilling with my Guinness stout and assorted dis nite.

Numerouno94:
What is so special about Messi's dribbling?
Well Messi's great magic trick consists of three parts or acts. Which is also known as Mess's art of effective dribbling.

The first part is called "The Pledge". The magician shows you something ordinary -

He starts the run at a minimal pace, straight at you. You are backing off gently or just covering your territory because it doesn’t make any sense to move. There’s nothing alarming about the situation – you’ve been in plenty of such benign one on ones with other attackers before. He is getting closer to you, into your territory, where you feel comfortable and want him to be. It’s almost as if he’s inviting you to inspect the ball; to win it off him. But of course, that probably isn’t his intention.

The second act is called "The Turn". The magician takes the ordinary run and makes it somewhat extraordinary. Shifting his body weight on to his left side, he takes a couple of strides away from you. Now you’re looking for the reason… but you won’t find it, because of course you're not really thinking. In fact you are confident that you can track him and win the ball with your stronger right foot. You know he’s going to bamboozle you. But you wouldn't clap yet. You are waiting for him to falter, take a touch too heavy. And then you decide it’s time to intercept and stretch your right leg forward into the path of the magician.

That's where he pulls off the third act, the hardest part, the part we call "The Prestige"

The Prestige your right foot is on his path, where you want it to be. But he is more ingenious than you thought. And quick too. With a simple flick, he has put the ball into that miniscule pocket of space between your rooted right foot and the next defender at whom he has already set his eyes on. And then he jumps and glides over your challenge, that low center of gravity helping him regain his composure and the ball. Once completely in control of the situation, he proceeds on to the next guy and then the next and so on and so forth. All you can see is the back side of his number 10 jersey with the name wirtten on it - MESSI.”

While Ronaldo struggles to dribble past a single player wit his step overs, Messi has already completed his art of effective dribbling as stated above. Messi doesn't take on a player, his capable of breezing past all the players in a split second.

Tapnaldo fans will cry tire. No evidence. They are busy looking for useless claims and assumptions to discredit ballon dor that Lionel Messi so deserved. Just look at players that have come out publicly to state messi is the best ever, ROONEY, GIGGS, RAMOS, FIGO, CARVALHO, KROOS, MODRIC etc and they were all former Tapnaldo teammates oo.

Chelsea will lose spurs, man city and Newcastle but will draw Brighton and win man utd

Ex teammate of Cristiano Ronaldo in the Portuguese national team and real Madrid just revealed that he always found it difficult to face world best player in history, Lionel Messi than his countryman, Cristiano Ronaldo in all the times he played against the two players.


Ricardo Carvalho: “Without a doubt, Lionel Messi is the player I struggled the most against in defense.”
Ricardo Carvalho: "Which player have I suffered the most with as a defender? Messi, without a doubt."

On Monday, 30th Lionel Messi would likely be announced as the winner of this year's ballon dor making it 8 ballon dor for the BEST FOOTBALL PLAYER IN HISTORY.

ThierryJay:
It's all rantings from pained losers without an iota of sense.

They forgot that even before the World Cup in December, Messi was already one of Europe's best performers for the season (12 goals 14 assists) and was already ranked 2nd by pundits in the 2023 Ballon d'or power rankings prior to the WC only behind Haaland. Winning a WC only cemented what was an excellent season.

Tapindu meanwhile after a miserable time in Europe with a miserly 2 goals in half-season was kicked out into the barren dusty dungeons to battle with the Al-rookies and Al-idiots kinda clubs to save face with inconsequential goals.

They've abandoned Lewa and are now lining up behind Haaland and Mbappe as proxies. In few years' time, they'd be the same people defending Pendu from Mbappe and Haaland's threat to usurp him by the time those ones start picking apart his records. Meanwhile, Messi's status as GOAT is forever safe from these new cats on stage.

In 2002 when Zidane won UCL with even better individual performances than Haaland, Ronaldo won best player award because his WC performance put him on a superior pedestal despite little club success. The same applied to UCL winner Ronaldinho in 2006 who lost to WC heroes Cannavaro and Zidane.

The logic is simple, when there is a WC winner that is the star performer of that World Cup, he will win Ballon D'or regardless of UCL winning contenders let alone a big game ghost.

Haaland they are even hiding behind always struggle and underperform in important matches. He had 0 goals 0 assists in 8 finals and semi finals last season. This is in contrast to how Messi was tearing solid defences apart with his heroic performances.


Ricardo Carvalho recently said he finds it easier to defend against Tapnaldo than messi that Messi is the tougher opponent. Before tapnaldo fans will say "who d hell is carvalho?" he's a former senior colleague and teammate of tapnaldo in Portugal national team.

Jokerman:
However, Pessi deserves the Ballondor, the world cup supercedes every. Moreover if Goatnaldo won the world cup, he'd surely win all too.

Still Goatnaldo is GOAT of the century, Pessi is close 2nd....

Footballer that cannot achieve outside Barcelona at club football, can't be my GOAT... I.e PSG, Miami

Since ur tapnaldo left Madrid, he has stopped winning ballon dor. Since Messi left Barca, he's won more than one ballon dor, won world cup etc keep crying

Dadsuy:

Why are you dragging herdsmen to this empty head like you blind folded fool.

U are a big fool and hypocrite. U find it hard to condemn herdsmen and hamas killing d innocent civilians yet u are in a haste to condemn Israel. Look at ur pathetic self again. Mumu.

Some people keep saying Haaland won treble BLA BLA BLA as if individual performance and contributions has no say again in football.

Even in man city , rodri, kdb and Gundogan are more important players for man city than haaland. Messi bodied that world cup with his excellent displays and the way he carried and motivated the Argentine squad.

Beverlyjean:


Lol...no one 4kin cares bro... we have always known how rigged that award has been in favour of the fraud ... we don't care... we just don't care... afterall the fraud in asorock was also certified winner of the last election.... it's all fake bro

At least the scripted and rigged conspiracy theory u tapnaldo crew members have been shouting is making u all happy.


I like ur style, in order to prevent heartache and depression u are all guiding ur mental health by creating ur own happiness through funny conspiracy theories aimed messi. Keep it up. I feel ur pains

Beverlyjean:
Osimhen has not played 20 percent of what players like Neymar Benzema mane have played... no one cares about ur opinion... u are still on vlahovic level ...

I hope u have got d invitation to attend the crowning ceremony of Lionel Messi as the only player to win ballon dor the 8th time.

I'm waiting for anoda funny and shameless conspiracy theory u will come up with tonite

Confirmedzombie:
This is genocide by Israel. Killing innocent Hamas.

I call on the Arab to unite immediately, form an alliance and destroy Israel.

Hamas are peaceful freedom fighters, imagine how Israel have been killing innocent civilians.

I beat my chest, Israel will never go unpunished. Israel will weep and sorrow.

Hamas will bounce back stronger.

Did u condemn herdsmen for killing innocent ppl n children in Kaduna south and Benue?

Did u condemn Nigerian govt for killing innocent south easterners during the civil war in the name of keeping Nigeria united and one?


Did u condemn hamas for throwing d first punch by killing over 1000 Israeli civilians?

Pls mods, push to front page


Messi incoming success as the most ballon dors owner needs to be littered everywhere.

We wanna see tapinaldo and tapinHaaland crew members tears everywhere.

From all indications, Lionel Messi will be winning a record 8th time ballon dor. Anytime anyone sees the name - LIONEL MESSI, one will remember the best player of all time.

If Tapnaldo had not been rejected by top European clubs, tapnaldo himself would still be making jest of Saudi league like he did when Marcelo, pepe, modric, Ramos etc were helping him to shine in Madrid thinking Madrid success was his handwork alone.

phr0nesis:

Haaland had an amazing season, while Messi had a wonderful 6 world cup matches, and boom! Messi is World best. I really don't understand this award

I can confidently tell u that without KDB, Gundogan and Rodri, man city and Haaland will never achieve all that. Haaland is just a good goal scorer. If he's that good all round, why did he struggle in UCL final match. He played 8 finals and semi finals, had 0 goals 0 assists.

OhBritannia:
Hmmm indeed one man's food is another man's poison.
The British accent is my most loved accent especially in series.

In that Nigerian film, "sista" bisola of BBN really tried with the British accent thing. Never knew she could pull that off.

Just imagine someone entering the USA for the first time after surviving a tough time in naija and suddenly becomes a victim of mass shooting. Very scary thing to imagine

Fela, 1

King Sunny Ade, 2

Tuface, 3

Dbanj, 4
P Square, 4

Davido, 6

Wizkid, 7

Burna boy, 8

And now, Rema, then asake is gradually making headway on d global scene.

All the artists I listed above gained imternational prominence in their prime.


However, I have few out of them that are globally recognized in my opinion.

FELA, WIZKID AND REMA.

FELA can sit on a table with the Michael Jackson's of this world, Bob Marley's of this world, Elvis Presley of this world, The Beatles of this world and many more.

WIZKID won a Grammy with Beyonce, Beyonce featured him. Essence ft tems had a global impact. And the Grammy wizkid won wasn't in any world album category that feature artists from Africa and other parts apart from USA and UK.


REMA, Calm down was a massive song surprisingly. Selena Gomez jumped into that song and the two had mad chemistry. Right now, it's still one of the biggest songs worldwide

OJEEMAH:
people that didn’t complain when he was scoring undeserved penalties at madrid suddenly became advocate for fairness. Funny enough, I still can’t see what FIFA did to eliminate Portugal and qualify Argentina….. even penaldians that swore Argentina will be dismantled by Netherlands, Croatia and France shamelessly began to twist the narrative save face but who cares anyways🤷‍♂️

Messi performance over the years have shown that he's just so spectacular that his performance is confusing tapnaldo fans that "how could any human play football wonderfully and amazingly like this?"

Wen they find it difficult to come to terms with reality that Messi is "A ONCE IN A LIFETIME PLAYER" they started creating the funny and shameless assumption that Messi success is scripted and rigged.

Racism is very bad. We must continue to fight against it. But Vini jnr should know that he must continue to deal with it, racism, tribalism, corruption etc will all continue to exist till God kingdom come. The earlier he knows that, the better.

OJEEMAH:
His sister did him dirty. She should have stayed away like Antonella and others did even when things were not going well for Messi in the national team. Pepe is just a clown. He was talking rubbish as if the Argentina referee made any horrible decision that could have changed the outcome of the game. he can’t handle the truth. Till date, his delusional fans still believe, Portugal didn’t do well because he was on the bench😂 and Figo

he can’t handle the truth.
TAPNALDO CANNOT HANDLE THE TRUTH AT ALL. ALWAYS ACTING LIKE A BABY IN ADULT BODY THAT WANT TO BE PRAISED EVERYTIME, WEDA HE PLAYS WELL OR NOT.

Till date, his delusional fans still believe, Portugal didn’t do well because he was on the bench😂
VERY DELUSIONAL, JUST SEE THE RIDICULOUS, FUNNY AND EMBARRASSING ARGUMENT AND CONSPIRACY THEORIES THEY ALWAYS COME UP WITH e.g. THE ASSUMPTION THAT WORLD CUP WAS SCRIPTED AND RIGGED, THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST EMBARRASSING AND DELUSIONAL ASSUMPTION IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND, AND MOST TAPNALDO FANS BOUGHT IT HOOK, LINE AND SINKER

The officiating of that match was one of the best at the world cup. Tapnaldo camp were just frustrated that night.

and Figo

THIS FIGO OWN GO PAIN AM, IF NO BE SEY FIGO NA HIM SENIOR FOR AGE AND NATIONAL TEAM AND HIM SEF NA SENIOR MAN, TAPNALDO FOR DON STOP TO DEY GREET AM, I KNOW DEEP DOWN, HE GO DEY VEX WITH FIGO

Bye bye to the greatest Manchester united player ever. Bobby Charlton.

OJEEMAH:
The deceit from his delusional fanbase, PR team and mainstream media clouded his head plus the fact that Madrid had a super team he was spearheading.

The guy sha try otherwise Messi would have won 13 Balon D’ors and 10 European Golden boot unchallenged.

His fanbase, PR team, mainstream media and even his sister and other family members and friends did a great disservice to Tapnaldo, forcing a false narrative that he's the best thing that happen to football.


Whenever things don't go his way e.g. world cup failure, u go see and hear Tapnaldo sister talking rubbish about world cup being unfair to his brother and fair to messi. Messi wey dey do him things jejely, wet no even send anybody. Pepe too carry him mouth dey talk rubbish dat world cup, always asslicking tapnaldo.


But wen ppl bold enough tells him d hard and real truth, he go dey beef them. E.g. Rooney telling him d truth that Messi is the best. Werey dey vex with Rooney saying he's jealous, looks fat, not fit BLA BLA

Wen Fernando santos benched him for not performing well for Portugal, he and his sister came for the poor man. Wen ETH started benching him just like Portugal coach for not performing well, he vex, telling piers Morgan ETH disrespected so therefore he will not respect ETH.


Most notable names among Tapnaldo former teammates have all chosen messi has the best. ROONEY, RAMOS, KROOS, MODRIC, SCHOLES, GIGGS, etc

OJEEMAH:
shows there was never a debate about who’s better….. the media created this rivalry and debate for selfish purpose(s).

There is never a debate or rivalry. Messi has always been clearly ahead of Tapnaldo. Tapnaldo brought d pressure on himself. When Tapnaldo talked about rivalry ending, I just laugh, who ask am.



Tapnaldo cud have just enjoyed his game by not trying competing with a player that is clearly above him. But he say he no hear word, now he's in d mud, stealing world cup goals out of desperation, fighting to play penalty kicks for Portugal and al nassr against soft soft teams out of desperation for goal records.

AImiron:
Pep Guardiola : "What Messi did in World Cup makes him favorite to win the Ballon d'Or."

Ståle Solbakken (Norway Head Coach) : "If you ask me who I think will win the Ballon d'Or, I will say Messi will win it. Thanks to his World Cup triumph. It still has an impact."

Rodri: "Who will win the Ballon d'Or? Leo Messi."

Kevin De Bruyne: "Lionel Messi is the Best. I think he will win the Ballon d'Or."

Julián Álvarez: " The Best is Messi. He will win the Ballon d'Or."

Phil Foden: "Lionel Messi deserves to win the Ballon d'Or."

Bernado Silva: "What Messi has done in World Cup was outstanding. He deserves to win the Ballon d'Or.

Penadogs think otherwise, una wey dey watch matches on livescores, highlights or back of the Tv at viewing centers, go start screaming Haaland was robbed 😂. I remember how yall want Inter to fvck City during the last UEFA Champions league final. It’s strange they are supporting Haaland cos Leo is involved 😂. Messi already won his 8th d’or. If y’all no scream robbed Wetin una gain.

Argentina go still win 2026 World Cup and Leo go Dey part of the squad. We go retire with 2 world cups

Una tears too sweet 😋

Three bottles of Guinness stout 🍺🍺🍺 for u Almiron for dis analysis.
Even their coach, man city coach say na MESSI worth am. I PITY HAALAND, HE THINK SAY HIM GET MASSIVE LOVE, NOT KNOWING ITS TAPNALDO FANS HIDING BEHIND HIM

ThierryJay:
This is the biggest dragging of Tapindu I've ever seen by a sports media.

ESPN pundits absolutely cooked and burnt Ronaldo to ashes. They said even them as old as they are will score goals in that current Portugal team. I'm sure if he watches it he will cancel ESPN forever as if it matters lol.

Ojeemah, Almiron, Numerouno94, Oyatainer pls watch the clip. It's better heard live.

Roasting of the century, those pundits are savages.
And in reality, even an average football enthusiast on the street will score against Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Bosnia & Herzegovina and all doz soft soft Saudi league clubs.

Tapnaldo will soon ban ESPN from all platforms. Baba go vex gan
just enjoy your game, u say u must compete with ebora messi. Tapnaldo in d mud🙈
