These people pushing this thing just do it for visibility and to clout chase. I don't have a problem with them fighting for their rights to not be jailed or killed but they're not even going about it the right way. Making a sanctuary like football and the world Cup your propaganda tool is peak indoctrination. And it's working

They aren't seeking to just be tolerated and accepted they want you to celebrate them too. Look at us now. It's world Cup time and we're all talking about them. It's a whole war happening in Ukraine but they are the central topic

Loud IT boss.
They don't care about the real issues.
The war in Ukraine is an example.

A40:
It's just the typical Western mentality that their laws and way of life is superior and something everyone must embrace. You want people to celebrate things that is expressly against their customs which is one thing but the fact that you're not even trying to go through appropriate channels, but just doing pocket gestures of defiance makes me ask, do these people want change or do they just want to be noticed. We're kuku in a clout chasing generation

lol @cloud chasing generation. It's always been like that but its just gone exponentially crazy.
Well they can stick that where the sun will never shine.
For me, I'm focusing on the game of football and would like to enjoy it without some unwanted distractions.

Bluelines69:
Baba done achieve him aim nothing concern am with final scores , celebrating like it’s 3-3

we all thought exactly the same thing. Like what da....get on with it man.

Squad packed full of violence
Seeing that obvious quality made me instantly lose more hope of an argentine world cup win cause I know tite wont handle them with butter fingers in contrast to his recent winless run against them, It'll take some serious football thinking or something special to oust these guys, England should be thankful their road to the final collides with at worst France and Portugal not possibly them, Spain/Germany, the Dutch or even Argentines on the other side if they come up tops in their group

Name one World Cup tournament for the past 20 years that Brazil wasn’t tipped as Favourite.

You see this movie, we don watch am and will watch it again. Shea na here we dey.

Brazil is overhyped. If not that Serbia capitulated to squander their chances, I don't see them winning

airmark:
For the records, Richarlison scored a brace, one a rebound off Vinicius' shot. Vinicius also had an assist.

I am stating this now so that subsequently nobody will come and be shouting that Neymar led and dragged Brazil from their opening match to glory.

airmark how does Messi, Neymar and Mbappe communicate in the their club since one speaks Portuguese, another speaks Spanish and the other speaks french?

It doesn’t change the fact that neymar is a far better player than fraudzard

How Messi still gets compared to Ronaldo after spending almost his entire career in la Liga statpadding against the likes of Eibar and Elche for more than 14years is astonishing. Away from the comfort of la Liga Messi can't even touch C boy in anything. Let's check out records in the two highest competition for club and country.

World cup:

Ronaldo has the most goals between both.

Ronaldo has the most motm in the history of world cup.

Ronaldo has the most hatricks between both.

Ronaldo has the record of scoring in 5 different world cup competition.

Messi has zero records in the world cup.


Champions league:

Most goals: Ronaldo

Most assists: Ronaldo

Most top scorer award: Ronaldo

Most trophies: Ronaldo

Most goals in a season: Ronaldo

Most knockout stage goals: Ronaldo

Most final goals: Ronaldo

Most free kicks: Ronaldo

Infact if we start listing Ronaldo records in the champions league we won't stop from now till tomorrow.

La Liga really gave Eibar lite Maradonna a career and Goat shouts

Well, Hazard has a medal from the competition which Neymar never had. Let's see how Neymar will be carried to have one this year.

I just discovered Neymar is black

He's mixed.

A40:
Don't tell me about rights. I'm a black man. I know all about having rights trampled upon

I also see the foolishness in wearing an arm band that is going to do nothing to change how Qataris feel about that lifestyle. Wearing some rainbow armbands and gear at the world Cup is typical Western virtue signaling. You people should think for once and stop being willing tools.

Yea.....you are a black man like black queer men who are a double minority don't exist whereas you only experience one end of the hate

Wearing an armband is much more than an accessory, it's a statement piece,that they are against hate

Culer:
He's mixed.

Wikipedia says he's preto. That's what they call blacks over there

bisqit:

'Preto' is considered a very offensive and racist term, so I don't know how Wikipedia would describe him which such.
Neymar is of mixed race; black dad and a white mum.

bisqit:

Well sometimes you really don't have to rely on Wikipaedia on things your eyes can clearly see. Brazilians used preto as a snide statement for blacks with darkest skin. I am sure Neymar is lighter compared to Ramirez, Vinicius etc and all his skin features qualified him as a Mulatto and not preto or dark skin. Again when you look at his son with his ex girlfriend you will understand he has a recessive white gene.

I never saw your response before I replied him. You are correct, even her sister features shows he isn't pure black and the son he had with ex just confirmed you are very correct.

fair enough. what will you call ronaldinho

Ibime:
Neymar injury might be good news for Brazil.

Now they can field a midfield 3 of Casemiro, Guimaraes and Paqueta which will make them more formidable against the top teams

Their team today was too top heavy and too light in midfield to go against other top teams

Serbia virtually played with all central players - Tadic and Milinkovic-Savic flanking Mitrovic in their front 3. It's like they put a block of ten men in the middle of the pitch, even their wingers are CMs and CAMs

I totally agree with you. Neymar needs to sit out some of the matches for the team to utilize their full potential. He always try limiting their game by trying to play some of his "selfish" style, withholding the ball and trying some flicks and tricks. But even with Neymar injured Tite will rather play Fred with Casemiro and move Paqueta upfront than playing B. Guimares, everyone with eyes knows Guimares is far technically better than Fred only Tite knows why he plays Fred ahead of Guimares

Ibime:


I pray not to have village people like you.

The above is not necessary. Your prayers have worked.

This is nothing compared to the witch-hunt Dayo does on Hazard. I guess you will like his type as village people.

Brazil wins : Wow Casemeiro is this,Casmeiro is that that.

Brazil lose : Tite is such a bad coach,he should have done so so and so.

Carot:

Serbia did not have any chance at all...which one did they squander...

Brazil should have won at least 5-0, hit the post twice, Vinicius slipping in the box and missing a great chance in the first half, Raphinha missing 1on1 and so on.

Serbia were totally outplayed and would be thankful for that result

Imagine calling the Brazil national team coach daft because he didn't start your favourite player or because you feel player X should start instead of Y.

I think Football is the only topic where so many fans are just so confidently misinformed. They think they know but in reality, they have almost zero practical knowledge about tactics. Give them a 5 aside team to coach and nothing will come out. I see folks offline & online; nairaland, FB, Twitter etc talking about tactics like cutting passing lanes, forming traingles, creating numerical advantage, positioning, high line etc.

They question everything the coach does from formation to personnel simply because they think they know it all. For instance, when Pedri arrived, most Barca fans wanted him for the B team or loan but they preferred Puig to start playing for the first team immediately. Koeman saw things differently. Same thing happened with Gavi. Today he's justified. Koeman was a bad coach though.

The same also happened when Ronaldo left United for Madrid and was replaced by Antonio Valencia. Even though they still had Nani, the fans rightly complained and demanded a top player as Ronaldo's replacement. With two PL titles, UCL final and many other trophies including being named player of the season at United, Fergie was indeed justified. There are also many instances not mentioned here....

Henry was busy talking down on Wenger until he was given an opportunity at Monaco. He was sacked because relegation was looming. Thiago Motta was running his mouth about one useless 2-7-2 formation with the GK playing almost as a DM. We all know how he ended at Genoa. Then there's Gary Neville and many others. Motta is now playing with "much caution" now at Bologna and unsurprisingly is doing better.

It's always funny because for most of these people, their only football(coaching) experience is FM(SEGA), FIFA and some other football simulation games with zero practical knowledge. Most never played/coach at semi professional level. It's funny but I think it's all part of the beautiful game.

I'm not saying that coaches should not be criticized, all I'm saying is; give credit where credit is due.

This was my response to a guy who at halftime called Tite daft because Richalison is not a regular starter at Totenham but starting games for Brazil.

Not sure how Embolo will sleep today and what about his father in Cameroon? That's gonna be a long telephone conversation.
