Safari, you're obviously a CR7's fan. No surprise there, most women are

Don't get me wrong, Cristiano is a fantastic player. One of the best strikers ever. But where I get mad is when people try to compare him to the most complete player to ever play the game aka Messi. There's no contest. Cristiano gives you goals, Messi gives you everything!
The only reason why serious people are still making that comparison is because FIFA and UEFA are desperate to make Cristiano the face of football. He's much more marketable than Leo Messi, for obvious reasons:
#1. Pretty boy (now they can sale the game to billions of female fans around the world)
#2. White Euro boy
#3. Speaks good English

The whole FIFA's marketing stunts actually started the time of David Beckham and the real Ronaldo (the Brazilian one). Ronaldo was the best player in the world by far but Beckham was the one getting all the accolades and the marketing deals. Go figure ....


O pari

Lol, ladies would easily kill for Ronaldo, experience has taught me that.
On this topic though, Ronaldo is definitely one of the greatest players of all times, but while l would pay to watch Pele, Ronaldinho, Delima, Okocha, Neymar, and maybe Messi, l don't think l'll pay to watch Ronaldo, Drogba, Van Nisteroyl or Eto. There are great players and there are in the same vein also very entertaining players for the world to have her fill.

I would forever support CR7 because he is the person that competes with Messi and I will forever support ANYBODY against Messi because of that U20 World Cup

Put Pele as #1 ever, and everything you say is valid.

The Messi and Ronaldo debate have gone on for so long that people, even editors are daring to place Messi as the best ever. That's the greatest football sin ever.

Other arguments and comparisons I don't care.

tell me the honest truth, have you ever watched a single match that Pele played? Youtube right?

tbaba1234:


I think Onazi is integral... His breaking up play was top class against Cameroon

no reason for us not to assume that Ndidi can do that better, I mean that is what he does to perfection for Leicester.


I think Basco has a point here, I wouldn't want Iwobi on the wings after seeing the face of our 20year old grandfather and comparing that with the size of Iwobi's legs, God should protect that boy against those legs abeg oo

Icon4s:


Mikel will definitely play the AM position.

One of Simon and Iwobi will have to start from the bench.

The ........Ndidi........Onazi
.......................Mikel combo seams to be working well. I don't see Rohr changing that.

the combo isn't exactly working well, Mikel is working well for the team, totally different more like Mikel-dependencia, making the Ndidi-Onazi combo look good but whenever Mikel leaves the pitch we die

Daniel Akpeyi, Uche Agbo, @OnaziOgenyi, @alexiwobi, @MosesDaddySimon, @Aina2Ola & @AwaziemC have arrived in Uyo.

Victor Moses still expected..

Oh, I see. He took what belongs to you boy, Mikel

Nne, I am yet to forgive me for that heartbreaking loss. And don't forget the Beijing Olympics as well .... na that one hurt me pass. I stayed up until almost midnight watching that game only for Angel DiMaria to break our hearts at the end.

Anyway, you gotta forgive Messi. The bobo brings joy to the game. He makes football looks easy and effortless.

We are talking of a player at 17 already doing wonders
leave that matter. when you talk of the greatest ever you have to look beyond your generation.

20 players to train with super eagles

Twenty Players Ready To Train With Super Eagles As Onazi, Agbo, Akpeyi Arrive Uyo

Twenty Players Ready To Train With Super Eagles As Onazi, Agbo, Akpeyi Arrive Uyo
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that at least 20 players will train with the Super Eagles at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Tuesday evening, as three more players have linked up with the team at Le Meridien Ibom Hotel and Golf Resort.

The latest players to join the squad are goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi, Trabzonspor midfielder Eddy Onazi and Standard Liege star Uche Agbo.

Five players named to the 23-man roster - Chidozie Awaziem (Nantes FC), Ola Aina (Chelsea), Victor Moses (Chelsea), Alex Iwobi (Arsenal) and Moses Simon (Gent) - have not yet reported for international duty as at 1600 hours.

Onazi is confident that the Super Eagles will book their place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia with one game to spare by beating Zambia on Saturday.

The Super Eagles assistant skipper told the Nigerian Federation : '''We will give all it takes as far as football is concerned. We will play like everything depends on us and pray like everything depends on God.

''We will not be distracted. We will get our three points on Saturday''.

Only V.Moses left now

Batty word! Like Zlatan Ibrahimovic puts it, "Messi is natural, Ronaldo is a work of training." But, hey, why did you say "and maybe Messi"? Messi is more skillful than everyone you listed on there, except for perhaps Ronaldihno.

And by the way, you don't wanna be around me when I am watching any Baca games! All you'll be hearing is 'merciless Messi .... inhuman .... the little magician .... the best ever ..... blah blah blah!!!'

Messi is skillfull in the sense that he is tricky and fast but relies more on pace and a good ball sense. The others on my list are to a greater extent ball jogglers and are more entertaining to me.

Are you kidding me He displace even Ideye? A dude who can't score to save his life? Do you know when I nicknamed Brown Ideye Mister Miss-It? It was during the first Keshi tenure, when Ideye was playing with Emmanuel Emenike. That dude knows how to miss sitters no be small. He's definitely not going to the World Cup, if we qualify, talkless of displacing Nacho.

And by the way, everybody is jumping onto Ighalo's bandwagon now because he scored against Cameroun. Wait until he starts another one of his trademark dry spells for the Super Eagles. I will definitely take Kelechi over Ighalo any day, trust me on that one. And while at it, you can go re-watch our first match with Zambia - Kelechi and Iwobi were on fire. I just hope that Rohr can start both of them again on Saturday.

Yea, like Ronaldiho. But one thing that makes Messi stands out is his ability to control the ball even the tightest of spaces. And the way the ball can stick to his feet is amazing to watch too. Most of the time the only way an opponent can dispossess him of the ball is by fouling him. gosh, if Messi gets half the calls that CR7 gets, he would be unplayable.

Yeah people forget Mickel is the saving grace here because he doesn't lose the ball easily like the other two. This is why l would also want John Ogu to get some playing time at least.

Joebie, did you watch Pele? Or are you solely relying on those grainy video clips we see on youtube?

VicMo and his drama sha. Chelsea played on Satuday (and he didn't even play) what is he still doing in London? Even Alex Iwobi who played on Sunday has arrived camp.

Na wao for Victor Moses. I like him but, sometimes, his showmanship is too much. Anywayz, it all good and all would be forgiven once he can get us goals (and hopefully a penalty) on Saturday.

I'm surprised how people try to diminish his achievements he even has about 200 assist for Madrid and all he does is score, like scoring goals isn't the main aim of football. I'm no fan of his infact I don't like his perceived arrogance but truth must be told

Is he arrogant? Maybe you try follow my man IBRA! The most confident guy ever... Whenever I hear speak... I see Mohammed Ali in him..

That's not what they called arrogant but I will call it self believe or call it self confidence

Ogbeni, do u want to hear d truth,I.iheanacho dont av d physical built up to be considered as a top 9,most especially for African rugged matches.
Take a look at matches where d opponent defender's re well built physical, iheanacho struggles, most esp if he doesn't c supplies from d midfield,though he might b more clinical dan oda strikers we av at d moment, but when it comes to some certain matches,we need a striker who can hold up play,commit/disturb defenders, dereby creating more chances for odas to score.so as for me I will always prefer a built up striker like ighalo,Tammy,or dt Antony (if he's also gud),dey av a better advantage physique dan iheanacho
