...... we are damn funny on this Thread walahi. We do rate our Players beyond Imaginations. We ain't in the 90s and Fans here should try to understand. This is no Era of Okocha, even Ronaldinho won't be able to play for a top Team in this present Epoch.

Football is no longer built on individual brilliance, its now rather built on Teamwork. Adama Traore, a fine Dribbler, yet playing for Wolves. Tactically, it'll be difficult at AFCON to rely on individual brilliance to win Matches.

Africans are rugged, and Defenders are ready to end your Career for you, if you try to mesmerise around them.

Ronaldo has 1 international trophy ,you want to sneak in they yeye nations league then I will sneak in olympic gold and under 20 World Cup so who now has more trophies , Messi won the copa America another new narrative enter grin

Ronaldo has played more games than Messi and is older than Messi so he is expected to have more goals and Messi is even close ,if Messi reach the amount of goals cr7 have reach he will definitely have more goals ,who have the best goal ratio grin

Ronaldo has 34 trophies while Messi has 38 so how did Ronaldo have more trophies ?

Instead of you to make simple research you are busy smoking igbo grin

Messi more ballon d or is still getting you depressed

Where is cr7 Olympic gold since nations league is now an important trophy grin

And finally Messi is the 2nd most decorated player of all time ,only behind Daniel Alves ,and to add to your tears another awoof Ligue 1 is loading and one of those French cups cheesy
I have said it times without number that since Ronaldo left Man U for Madrid, he became an upgraded Nisterooy. There is nothing he does to matches other than scoring, that's why he is usually useless in matches if he doesn't score unlike Messi that has won countless MOTM even without scoring in those matches.
Goal to game ratio, Messi is ahead,
Assist to game ratio, Messi is also ahead,
Messi has won more MOTM matches compared to Ronaldo, all these despite Messi playing lesser games to Ronaldo.
Sometimes I wonder if people that compares the both of them even watches them play.
Lot of people are till today still rating Ronaldo De Lima ahead of Christiano, still Ronaldo fans will be mentioning Christiano in the same sentence with Messi.
Next time you shouldn't bother to answer them because it's not worth it

How many new Strikers has Rohr invited? Dessers, Bazee, Moffi, Onuachu, Maja and very recently Awoniyi.

He has tried almost all, yet he ain't convinced, hence gets no choice but to recall Ighalo for rest qualifing Matches and AFCON certainly.

Rohr doesn't rate Iheanacho either as a Striker. He sees him as a supporting Striker and to some extent a Playmaker.

We shouldn't forget Rohr once dropped Iheanacho completely from the Squad till he regains his form at end of last Season.

Awoniyi has a shot at the Team, if he keeps up with the Form. He may possibly replace Onuachu if he keeps popping Goals, coz Ighalo is definitely going to Cameroon next Year January.

When did Rohr try Dessers, Awoniyi and Maja?

Don’t tell me one game with few minutes was enough to convince him because Osimhen had played 6 games without scoring one single goal.

That’s double standard on Rohr’s part......I mean the Nigerian coaches in the team.

Yes,
Until a player step up and do d same what he has done at d lower division ,he should not b adjudged better than those doing at higher division

You mean a player should go to a lower league and prove he is better?

Which player is going to pray for that?

Sadiq couldn’t do jack in Seria A, why?

He should prove himself first in a top league before he can be regarded.

Before you start thinking I am downplaying him, please remember I was the first to clamor for his invitation to play in the SE when he came to limelight in his first season with Roma.

Random question please
Does Frank Onyeka play 4 or 10 for Brentford ?
I’m actually confused, is he a defensive or central midfielder
Seems he does both in my opinion undecided
Ndidi is a defensive midfielder, so is Frank his replacement in case of any injuries
Transfermarkt labels him as CM

I disagree with you boss. Cr7 just like Messi is a generational talent that comes once in a life time.

Moving to Madrid harnessed his game and turned him to a goal machine.

The difference between Messi and Ronaldo is that the former was brought to this world by jah to play soccer while the latter is what he is today out of hard work and determination

U dare not call a player who have shattered all records and set many just an ungraded nisterooy. Dude is a goal scoring monster which I doubt the both of us will ever see again in our life time once he retires in

As for Messi, even if he doesn’t score up to 10 goals in ligue 1 this season he has nothing to prove to anyone anymore. Not a fan of his but believe you me he is the greatest to play the game

In summary cr7 is a product of hard work while Messi is naturally gifted

As a man United fan naturally am a die hard cr7 fan but that will never stop me from admitting the fact that Messi is better

The reason I love cr7 so much is he is the only player who has this belief that he can do whatever Messi does or even better

He is till date the only player who can atleast be compared to the Argentine magician and hv been consistent over 10 seasons winning individual laurels, breaking and setting records

Alex Ferguson was once asked between the 2 who he prefers and his response was that he admires Messi so much but that the Argentine is just a Barca type of player who will only strive in a certain tactics and system on the pitch

while cr7 is a goal machine who even when playing with scunthorpe in the English 3rd tier will guarantee you atleast 20 goals a season

Both are different type of players but amongst the greatest to ever play the game

So u failed to comprehend i was on ur side,unless u didn't mean't that people shouldn't judge sadiq to b better than awoniyi?

What i meant is people should not judge sadiq as d better player than awoniyi and other strikers at top league,untill he goes back to top division e.g. la liga or bundesliga and perform better or the same what he is currently doing now.
Go back n reread it.
Step up isn't going lower ,is going higher.

Watch a player like Halaand shatters Ronaldo so called goalscoring records in lesser games onces he joins a team bigger than Dortmund and that plays possession and dominate matches like Bayern. He might not win individual accolades like Ronaldo but with the way he has started, Ronaldo goalscoring records will almost be shattered by him now to the next 5 seasons.

At the age of 36 he is still doing it and single handedly carrying a whole man United team on his shoulders

Mk una try Dey give respect and recognition to who deserves it

Dude is just 2 goals away to hv 800 career goals still una no Dey regard am.

I remember those years when nisterooy and Henry will score 20 league goals a season and pple will be screaming about the feat both achieved but cr7 and Messi made goal scoring seem easy even any season they score below 40 goals is seen as a less productive season to both

Henry contributes to games other than goalscoring. He was just so unfortunate to be with Arsenal. If Henry had moved to one of the bigger clubs that constantly wins trophies then, he would have won lot of individual accolades.

Cr7 fans started it by insulting Messi as a 1 club man with no international trophy even after they know he was unlucky to miss out on the World Cup trophy

Actually many countries in Africa. Cost of internet in Nigeria is very high. Cost of internet in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Namibia, Botswana, Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and some other African countries are way cheaper and better than ours... If they internet will be cheap, with stead electricity for people to charge their phones and importantly, for all the rural areas in Nigeria to have atleast strong fast 4g internet, then we can gladly claim the king of social media in Africa.


Nigeria is 3 times more active on the internet than the any other African country, despite our expensive internet.
And this is not adding our millions of folks in diaspora.

Even European countries don't come close.

Is that easy to shatter ronaldo and messi's records even in next 4 generations?

If u still hear about about haaland in 5 seasons from now it means that he must have performed admirably,but shattering ronaldo's records is out it.

Football is more difficult and unpredictable than most thought.
