Jokerman:
From a world cup winning coach 😂

Didier Deschamp that Messi beat in final cannot be happy with Messi just like van gaal too was yarning nonsense. Lionel Messi conquered them all.

HellVictorinho6:


verse one

Keep it up. Keeping jaming to d verses. Thank u my fan

HellVictorinho6:


Rap it

Messi being the BEST is a bitter truth to u tapnaldo fans.

DataAlchemist:


What are you saying?? why didn't pep won the treble then before the arrival of haaland?? and mind you, city didn't make haaland, the young boy has always been a prolific striker right from his days in salzburg, or was kdb and silva with him in dortmund What else does a striker needs to prove how good he is if not goals?? Is lewandowski and benzema a good dribbler??

scoring 57goals in a season while winning almost all trophies is not enough to win the balon d or?? aside winning worldcup what was messi contribution last season??

Did Haaland win bundesliga while at Dortmund? Did he help Norway qualify for world cup? Even this euro, I doubt if Norway is going. It's the individual impact of players that matters not just goals goals goals.


He played 8 finals and semi finals, he performed poorly, 0 goals 0 assists. He performs poorly against in form/strong teams. E.g. vs Spain, vs arsenal

Gangster1ms:
2010:
- Messi: 60 G/A
- Xavi and Iniesta: World Cup
- Ballon d’Or winner: Messi

2023:
- Haaland: 71 G/A plus a Treble
- Messi: World Cup
- Ballon d’Or winner: Messi

If this doesn't explain the favouritism Messi had in all these years,I don't know what will

Do u know that Johann Cruyff prophesied Lionel Messi will win the highest number of ballon dor?

It's a win lose situation. He will have rest of mind forever knowing the kids are his. Then loss on the part of most properties of his going to his ex wife.

IbileIfe:

Thanks for saying the TRUTH.
They don't like CR7, because the guy does not pretend like Messi.
They think he is proud.
They mistake his confidence for pride.

U guys defend every wrong committed by Tapnaldo. Even wen he stole a goal unsuccessfully at the world cup, u guys call it passion. Wen tapnaldo was abusing legends like Rooney, xavi etc u all hail him. Tapnaldo dey try, see as he dey influence and confuse his fan base.

HellVictorinho6:


ur case

Weda u accept it or not, Messi is the best player of all time. U tapnaldo fans should stop hiding under Pele, Mbappe and Haaland. Una hide under Mbappe for world cup, una lose. Una hide under Haaland for ballon dor, una lose.

ofuonyebi:
I love this controversy always generated between C- RONALDO & L- MESSI

IT SHOWS THEY ARE THE TWO GREATEST IN FOOBALL HISTORY

Not even the Reverend PELE of BRAzil & MARADONA of ARGENTINA
ever enjoyed such cloud 7 hypes

Messi is the best in history. The best football player of all time.

Jamie1000:
So this shit dey pain Ronaldo. He couldn't even congratulate Messi. Dude be hating on someone with natural gift. Nigga couldn't even make top 30. Wait untill he wins 10x

He didn't even congratulate Messi for the world cup victory not to talk of ballon dor. Tapnaldo just dey disturb himself. Wen person pass u, just accept he pass u or else u go just dey embarrass yourself with traces of envy, jealousy and inferiority complex that tapnaldo is experiencing now, posting things like "factors" "laughing emojis" etc as if doz comments will win u d world cup.

Beverlyjean:


Why dint Messi win the champions league...u think halaand would not have annihilated the world cup if he represented a top footballing nation like France or Germany

And u think Messi will not win treble or quadruple if he's in man city team?

Hussein035:


Shut up if you don't have sense of good judgement.

Had it been that Messi helped PSG to will champions league and haaland won world cup and premier league won't the useless FIFA still give it to their ass licker

They robbed sneidjer, iniesta, lewandowsky and still robbed haaland

I will just advise your ass licking GOAT to retire now because his last performance was the world cup where was scoring penalties. If he goes to any serious league he will be disgraced just the way he was disgraced out of PSG

U tapnaldo fans are still not getting the point. It's not just winning the world cup. The main thing is "what is your impact?" "What is your individual contribution and performance?"


Messi mesmerized everyone with his dribbles, skills, creativity, physics defying passes, assists etc at the world cup. Apart from scoring lots of soft goals against soft and off form opposition teams, what special thing did Haaland even do?


Why did he perform poorly against top sides like inter Milan in UCL final? Why did he perform poorly against Spain and Arsenal FC? Why did he have 0 goals and 0 assists in 8 finals and semi finals?

Beverlyjean:


It Wasn't the jealousy of Ronaldo, but the hypocrisy of FIFA... he was the first to call them out after the 2010 WC ...its not hatred... when someone's award is stolen and gifted to another ...its deception....

Wen did u suddenly become a defender of Haaland? He scored a soft and controversial penalty against man UTD over the weekend, u didn't call him out just coz of ur hatred for messi. Coz of ur hatred for Messi u suppressed ur anger for Haaland scoring against ur team, man UTD in a controversial manner. U tapnaldo fans are going thru a lot.

JerryJJZ:
Or else we choose to deceive ourselves, Messi didnt deserve the award. Does that means having a decent World Cup campaign automatically gives you the most coveted individual award? Nah. Just Nah. A clear robbery for Haaland. No justification for it. A tremble goes off the table. From the beginning of that World Cup campaign, it was soooo evident it was a Messi show. It was too obvious. Rubbish!

Apart from being an excellent goal scorer, what special thing does Haaland bring to the table wen compared to an all rounder to messi.


In UCL final match, what special thing did Haaland do? He played 8 finals and semi finals, he had 0 goals 0 assist. Wen he came up against strong teams or in form teams, he always performs poorly. E.g. vs Spain, vs arsenal FC

Beverlyjean:
No one can honestly say Messi was the best player in the last 12 months . A 7 game tournament is not the only football that was played in the past 12 months ... If they say it's all about the world cup, how come mbappe dint finish second ... Mbappe had a better tournament than Messi....was top scorer with 8goals ( 2 penalties included) ... anyone that understands this game knows its all propaganda...

2010 Spain won their first ever world cup , they dint remember that it was all about the world cup . They still gave it to Messi, saying he won la liga and was top scorer in Europe and champions league ... 12 yrs later , halaand wins mancitys first ever treble , top scorer in the league with a new record , top scorer in champions league, top scorer in Europe and they still give Messi that PSG fans booed out of France for failing to help the team pass round of 16 in CL....

As someone rightly said, if halaand won the world cup and Messi won the champions league and ligue1 with psg and was top scorer in both competitions, they will still give Messi...

Fifa and the balon dor are just Messi lickers .... no football player in history has ever received 10% pampering Messi has received in his career ...

Suddenly winning the world cup gets u the balon dor... but it dint in 2010, 2014 and 2018... Messi wins the WC and it becomes a criteria again... if u condemn INEC and support this nonsense award , then u are a certified hypocrite

U Sha dey watch ball. HAve u seen any player that can dribble better than messi? Have u seen any other player that has scored 91 goals in a year? Now let's face the recent reason why Messi is still the best player in history. Messi motivated the Argentina team to world cup victory. He didn't just win it, his impact was felt. Simple.

hkidola00:
interesting so haaland has no influence in man city treble?....have you seen how man city struggle to pull goals if pep uses argentine alvarez to strike on some days

Where was Haaland against inter Milan at ucl final? Were they holding Haaland legs wen he had 0 assists and 0 goals in 8 finals and semi finals?


Man city should be grateful to KDB, Rodri, Gundogan and Bernado Silva, those are d real MVPs of man city last season. Without those four guys, man city cannot win treble.

I've known Lionel Messi is the best football player of all time since 2011/2012 season. Is it the dribbles?, The physics defying passes,? The skills, the creativity, the ball control etc or what? And he still scores too...



Lionel Messi. Best football player EVER.

Focusmind:
Haalland deserved that award more. Winning the world Cup should not just be the only yardstick. Someone that one a domestic treble and champions league should be in a poll position to win the Balloon award.

Was haaland the best player of man city against inter Milan in ucl final? What was Haaland performance in 8 finals and semi finals he played? How does he perform against in form or strong teams? E.g. Recentlty he played Spain and arsenal, how did it end?

I just laugh wen the media, tapnaldo fans and tapnaldo himself talks about the issue of rivalry or debate or whatever, wen clearly there is no any debate. As far as I'm concerned, the debate or rivalry ended about 13/12 years ago in 2010/2011 with all the skills, dribbles, creativity, ball control, beauty etc Messi always come up with. No player can ever do that.


Now to the celebration of messi 8th ballon dor, we that do not allow emotion to cloud our judgment regarding the world best player ever, we are feeding good and fine. We don't go extra miles doing the works of sudden lawyers by mistake defending nonsense because Messi has made our job easier with all the glaring and shining evidence.


Make I continue with my Guinness stout and assorted jare to celebrate Messi.
The best football player to ever play the game.

Kojochyke:
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.

We love them in between...good and bad equal

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
